Hi from the Mornington peninsula
« on: February 06, 2014, 02:05:41 PM »
Hi from the Mornington peninsula! I have just purchased a customline deluxe with a few mods and looking forward to taking delivery in mid march. I am pairing it with a stock 2013 dual cab triton. My wife and I are both newbie campers but keen to start our adventures. Cheers, Andy

Welcome Andy.

Nice spot where you live, and you have a few swaggers down up that way also.

See you around the traps.

Hi Andy

We are from Cockatoo and are waiting delivery of our camper.  Its a Outback Tanami.  We will be towing it with our Nissan Pathfinder Ti 550.
We have had a camper before when the kids were small but are relatively new to my swag.  I have found the people here very helpful.

Vicki and Ug.

I've been camping for a year or two, but always learn more each trip:-)


There's a meet coming up in two weekends http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=34339 and while I know you are waiting on your CT, if you can find a tent, you'd be more than welcome to join us.
