Hi all, great forum. A mate told me about it on the weekend. Picking up the new camper hopefully at the end of the week. We only had a small budget. We went with semi off road blue tongue as we liked the trailer and the tent combo and the budget didn't stretch to Aussie canvas. You guy's have given me a lot thought for the mods that will come later. Led lights, water pump, pull out  storage boxes.Moved up from a canvas tent with a 5x7m fly. 3 to 4 hours of setup time. Looking forward to have a cold beer instead slugging out setting up the tent combo.
Cheers
Big Mac

Welcome to MySwag Big Mac!

Sounds the goods mate. Doesn't matter what type of trailer it is as long as it fits your budget and requirements. Get out and get it dirty.  ;D

..."Looking forward to have a cold beer instead slugging out setting up the tent combo." Thats what it's all about.

Good on you.

Thank you for all the kind words. Blue tongue has had a delay in getting the trailer from their supplier. So it's no camper trailer this weekend. The weathers is no good this weekend anyway for seasoning the canvas in which is a little relief. Easter camping trip is fast approaching. Once again all, thanks for being so welcoming.
Cheers
