Hello from Canberra
« on: October 05, 2014, 08:14:56 PM »
Greetings!

I'm new to the world of camper trailers and have made heaps of rookie mistakes so I'm here to learn from the Masters (just call me Grasshopper).

I have fond childhood memories of camping with my family and was a keen camper until I injured my back many years ago.  I have a young child and wanted him to experience the same fun I did. We did a few tent trips and once I was sure he liked it I invested in my first camper trailer - a Skamper Kamper Ranger.

As my username suggests I like to glamp rather than camp - comfort is my middle name - so I'm looking forward to reading how other members modify their campers to suit their posh needs.

You've got your glamper and the motivation to start using it. Read away, and I look forward to reading and learning from your trips and experiences.

Giddy there, welcome to the site.  There are few of us canberans lurking on here.  Nothin wrong with glamping, that's what the mods are all about.

Welcome from another Canberran.

Time I got off my butt and organised a local get together!

The forum is great for learning new tricks, and 'meeting' great people.

I glamp in a Skamper Kamper Ranger. I wasn't in a position to spend $15,000+ on a fancy model, and while I've heard some horror stories about the cheaper models I did my research and Skamper was perfect for my needs.

Next step for me is lighting - I'd love a setup that I could leave attached and that could be operated on 12v and 240v.

Some LEDs wired to an AGM battery with a 15A Projector 240 volt battery charger will give you 12V and 240V lights.  The Projector has a supply mode as well as being a charger.
