I feel like I belong
« on: December 17, 2013, 07:04:52 AM »
I have got a c/t finally. I have been haunting this sight for over twelve months feeling like a fraud , but now I feel like I belong. It's only an on roader at the moment with slipper springs and a 50 mm ball hitch at the, :cheers: but that will change. I've got southern cross canvas on a trailer factory trailer with a 60 liter water tank slung under the back. The tent had two small tears 5-10 mm and that was an easy fix. The annex has been used 3-4 times and is near new. The fly hasn't got a mark on it. Not bad for a 90's model. I will be changing the wheel bearings and greasing up the slipper springs ( I hate them ). The best part is the missus wants to go away to south Aus for a week over Christmas. Apart from the springs and hitch it only really needs a kitchen and a My Swag sticker. I don't need a full off roader after three back opps , but I don't want something that only goes to church on Sunday. After two years of not being able to go camping I can finally get out there again. Any Swaggers going to Beachport SA after Christmas ? It would be great to put faces to names.  :cheers:

It also needs some 6 b&s but this is NOT the page for talking about that.  :angel:

Sounds like a great deal on wheels, congrats.
Won't see you at Beachport, but may run into each other around the tracks.

Congrats on the CT purchase.  Consider a Drifta kitchen.  Can highly recommend them and their service.

Enjoy the Christmas trip.  Happy camping.

Thanks for all the comments. The sad part is I get to sleep in a c/t for the first time in a caravan park. The good news is SHWBO ( she who WILL be obeyed ) is already planing a camping trip for Easter on the Murray. That could be anywhere from Echuca in Vic to Murray Bridge in SA. Since I'm such a good bloke I will let her choose.  :angel:

Hi Dingo
We hope  to be going to Wrights bay after Christmas, that's if we can get in!!!!! as there is no booking. Wrights bay is North of Robe and  so a possibility to catch up then.
