brand new to camping
« on: November 25, 2011, 07:24:35 PM »
Hay guys, after much lurking and reading we are about to go head first into the CT world with the purchase of an Aussie jay camper. Have done alot of research and it seems jason builds alot of trailer for the money. Has any one got any got any input on these trailers? We hope to go for some weekend trips this summer and then build up to some bigger trips into the national parks around the coast of nsw. Wife loves photographing animals so would be good to get into the lesser traveled areas later

Gday Gordo. From one (relative) newbie to another, welcome. Youll find this site great. We just bought an Aussie Jays ourselves. After meeting and speaking to Jason and Rebecca we we very impressed. Got to agree with you about a lot of trailer for the money. I reckon we'll start to see a lot more of these around soon. We get ours mid Jan. Can't wait. Have you taken delivery yet?
