Introducing myself
« on: December 28, 2013, 06:39:42 AM »
Hi everyone,
My name is Tim and my wife and I have recently bought a secondhand xtrail ranger. We love the camper and are just about finished setting it up for free camping and tackling anything we may come across. The only modification that we have done so far is to increase the height of the fridge box so as to accommodate a cfx wacco 65 liter fridge.

We pull our camper behind ur 1990 gq patrol.

Looking forward to posting picks and sharing experiences with other members.

Welcome Tim,

Where are you from, where have you been, and where do you plan to go?
Looking forward to your pics.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the banter.

 :cheers:

Thanks for the warm welcome, my wife, Tania And I are from southern Riverina, nsw. We have a ten year old son who loves the outdoors as much as we do.

So far, we have only spent a few nights in the camper, once when we picked up the trailer in wollongong and the other free camping on the tumut river.

I'll try and post some pics shortly.
