Hi All
« on: April 21, 2016, 02:53:06 PM »
Hi all

Got tipped onto this forum from 4x4 Earth as I have a few questions re campers but I’ll post them up in another section.

A bit about me: married with 3 kids (9, 7 and 3) in Sydney. Have been camping with the 2 eldest kids quite a few times but just got back from a trip with the better half and the 3yo, both of whom had a ball on their first camp.

Am now in planning stages for a 4-5 week trip over Xmas holidays in 2016 where we plan on heading south – down to Eucha, Halls Gap and Great Ocean Rd, over to Tassie and back up through Vic High Country (and I leave for the Simmo in a week for a boys trip but that’s another story).

A bit about my truck: I have a 2004 100 series V8 Cruiser (Kakadu model) with a few mods including small lift in the front, 285/70/17 Cooper STMaxx’s, ARB rear diff lock and onboard air, ARB bar, TJM tube steel side steps, Runva winch, OME shocks in front and Bilsteins in the rear and a dual battery system incl CTek Charger.

Camper to date has been a “hand-me-down” Camp-o-matic Ranger M3. Been a great camper but… family now has 3 kids and we don’t really fit in it, especially for touring so looking for the next step.

Hoping there’s some knowledge here I can tap into here, especially re campers that work well for 5
