Title: Camper fever has bitten
Post by: Thorno on February 05, 2015, 07:43:47 PM: Hi Guy's 'n' Girl's
Just a quick hello and introduction to the camper world.
Been camping around a few spots and I'm sick and tired of having the Hilux chocker full of gear.
I'm currently using a rooftop tent and have the back of the hilux decked out with draws and fridge and bibs n bobs. But once I'm set up I'm stuck there at camp not being able to drive around and explore as much as I want. .
So it's time to get a camper!!!!!! ????
I currently live in Coffs Harbour and love the area, ,eg station Creek , platypus flats, Dalmorton. ..heaps of more exploring to do.
I'm heading up to Brisbane and collecting my first camper tomorrow and felling just a bit excited. Even the hand break is excited :cheers: , Mars surveyor.

Long drive but worth every km.

Camper trailers are the best option in my opinion.

Post by: Thorno on March 15, 2015, 11:06:02 AM: Yeah I've got a CT mod list going and that's growing most days with ideas from the fellow swaggers online here.
I do have a handy little list from the Wikicamps that I find pretty handy before heading off for a camping trip.

:cheers: to everyone

How is the surveyor?

I am getting the same camper. Adding the battery and the 240v inverter pack.

Are you as happy as a pig in mud in it?
