hi from north Brisbane
« on: November 12, 2012, 09:32:51 PM »
Hi all ' Firstly I love this site . I have been a guest for a while . I'm in the process of deciding on a camper trailer to buy. Geese and I thought winner the lotto was hard. Soft floor , hard floor off road semi or road.
Here is the drill . I have young family and a new xtrail. I don't mind spending money on something reasonable not interested in Chinese stuff. I have about $7500 to spend . I'm currently leaning between towards 2010 a custom line with a 12" tent full annex with basic acc or do I go  less expensive aust model maybe a bit older with all bells and whistles but with more use age ... delemas cheers matt

Hi Matt.  Welcome.  Plenty of ideas on here.

We have a 2012 Customline with 12' tent.  Plenty of room for two kids beds in the main tent.  We really like ours.  Well made.  You can always add to it as you go along but I think it is important to start with a good foundation.

Happy camping

Welcome Matt & Family... :cheers:

Customline are a great CT as we have had ours since 2009.

Try the second hand ones too as you can get more and some of them are hardly even used..

They tend to go quick though..

Cheers guys . I stumbled across a couple of brands that I don't much about. Making tracks local Brisbane and leisure matters. I realise they're not the same as customline but for the coin they look good . Cheers guys for input

Sorry Matt can't help you with Making Tracks or Leisure Matters but someone one here will know something.  Maybe if you start a thread with that title in General chat someone will pop up.

If you keep your eye out for the second hand Customline's something in your price range will pop up.

Keep us up to date on how you get on.  :cheers:
