Wannabe!
« on: March 12, 2012, 10:49:31 AM »
After a few holidays with the kids in a motorhome, Tracy and I have decided to bite the bullet and buy a camper trailer. Not only that, we are going to sell up, put Harry in distance ed and travel around Aus.
Initially, we had decided to buy a Trackabout SV Extenda, so we are back at square one.
Hopefully it won't be too long before we run into some fellow myswaggers on the open road.
Happy camping,
Dave.

G'day & Welcome.

What a shame. I too was keen on that camper, am keeping my eye out for a 2nd hand unit to become available.

I've heard good things about the Tambo Extenda, GGPatrol has one on order I believe.

Have you seen this List of "Extenda"/ "Walk-through" style campers?
