Howdy from an excited family
« on: July 04, 2012, 05:52:32 PM »
We are new to camper trailers, but have done some camping before and plenty of 4wding.  I'm looking forward to picking up plenty of tips from this forum and hopefully will be able to contribute some stuff along the way.

We are picking up our Customline Deluxe Off Road 12ft with full annexe, tropical roof, kitchen etc in the next couple of weeks.  We are very excited by this and have already planned our first long weekend and drafting up a two week trip for later in the year.

 :D Welcome to the swag.  I think you'll love the camper, the first time we used ours we were still surprised how big the 12 footer actually was.  Did you get the storm flaps over the drawbar side windows, it's probably one of the only mods I'll ever do to the canvas side of the CT.
 :cheers: Paul
