Another newbie
« on: October 04, 2012, 01:46:59 PM »
Hi swaggers,

I've seen this site a few times, but finally decided to join. My name is Troy and my partner is Michelle, we have four kids and now a new TV...

We love camping an I have always wanted to build my own camper as a hang over from my boilermaker days. However 11 years on and nothing. So we are taking the plunge and hopefully use the wealth of knowledge and experience from members of this site. We hope to contribute our build and seek advice along the way. Due to other commitments it may take a few months more than I had planned, but we'll see how it goes.

By the way, the info I have read so far has save me a stake of wasted time in designs and planning.

Cheers,

Bilko

Hey Bilko and family,

Welcome to the mad house, just be careful it is addictive :D

As you have already mentioned there are lots of people who know lots of stuff and are more than willing to share their experiences with you.

Enjoy

Bunyip
