Hi from the Pilbara
« on: January 06, 2012, 03:22:06 PM »
Gday, Kieran here, 
Living the dream in the pilbara as they say.  After travelling the gibb river road last august with the wife and rugrat in a swag, she has convinced me to get a camper trailer so we can spend more quality time as a family in the bush together.  I was pretty hesitant at first as i love my swag.  But i'm now actually excited about it.  So hopefully in the next few weeks we will purchase a camper trailer and plan on a lap round aus when my current work finishes in a few months.

We have narrowed our choice down to a KK or a jayco outback swan.

PS..  Cracker website this is

Cheers,
Kieran

It all depends on when my work finishes, hopefully we will be leaving around end of April or May, if that is the case we will be heading back up north first then we will decide from there.

Hi Kieran and welcome.
A KK or Jayco, big difference in type of camper.
