How's it goin'
« on: November 28, 2010, 09:21:05 PM »
Hi from sunny Melbourne.
I'm in the process of buying a CT from a member so have been reading up on the advice here - bloody brilliant!
Been camping with my 2 boys (8 and 11) for about 3 yrs. Planning to go up north in 2011 for about 8 wks with my wife and the boys, hence the CT.
Appreciate all the advice and hope to get the CT out frequently.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Tony

Welcome to the forum, what CT are you looking at buying and what are you going to tow it with?
Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Put a deposit on a Trackabout DLX Tourer - gotta get to Qld to pick it up before Christmas. Pretty chuffed as it's mint - looking fwd to getting it.
Driving a Kluger AWD but we swap around a bit at work so may have a Prado for the trip up north next year.
Cheers,
Tony

Welcome to the forum! Believe me the drive to QLD will be worth it - we adore out Deluxe tourer and be the time you leave the factory you'll be super confident you can set and pack up without a problem thanks to JT's schooling.

Make sure you vote in the who made your camper section - the Trackabouts are flying out the factory door at the moment so we might give the Jaycos a run for their money  ;D  ;D

Looking forward to some pics

 :cheers: Glenyse
