Hi from Toowoomba
« on: June 07, 2013, 08:29:08 PM »
Hi All.

The name is Shane and I'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

I have a 2010 Nissan Navara D40 RX, a Spirit soft floor offroad camper, and a family.  We're in the process of putting minor additions to the RX and the camper after being happy with bare basic camping for a few years.

We live in Toowoomba and have been here for the last 6 or so years.  I'm a WA boy at heart but have lived pretty much all over this great land of ours.

After a long hiatus, we're getting back into camping.  It's been a while.  I've learned a lot from this forum so I thought it was time to get more involved.

Looking forward to talking more with people and hopefully catching up soon.

Cheers
Shane

Welcome to the forum Shane, plenty of good info here. How about posting a couple of pics of your tug and CT.

Thanks for the welcome.  Photos will come once I:
a) dig some up, or
b) get some sunshine so we can set the camper up and stocktake.

As for the Navara, it's just a 2010 Silver RX with a nudge bar and canopy BUT I'll get some done when we get the camper out.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah, Toowoomba's not too bad a place to live.  I live just out of town so Toowoomba and love the semi rural setting.

Cheers
