Hi everyone
« on: November 03, 2014, 08:30:59 PM »
Hi from Brissy

I'm new to this forum and forums in general. My husband and I have been avid campers and hikers all our lives. We have always been basic campers, just a tent, mattress and sleeping bags with minimal fuss. We now have a beautiful eight month old daughter and another one on the way. We are taking number 1 on our first camping trip next weekend and we are really looking forward to it,  even though we are a little nervous. 

If it goes smoothly,  we are looking to get a camper trailer early next year. We are looking at a number of different options and we are leaning towards a rear folding hard floor trailer. Given our budget, we can't get the ones we really like but think we have found a supplier that feels right. They import the trailer body only and do everything else here. They seem genuine and are happy to take us around the factory so fingers crossed it is a decent off roader. The only sticking point at the moment is getting the hubs changed to be the same as our car. I'm sure that we can have it doen after market but would prefer it to be done straight up.

Well enough about me.

Hi brooke, and welcome to the forum.

Be aware that changing hubs on imported trailers can sometimes be problematic.
If they won't do it for you as part of the purchase, I'd take that as a sign....
