I am sure you cant wait for it to arrive.  We too are looking at a Penguin Outback or similar.  We just did the Strezleki, Oodnadatta and Birsdville tracks a few weeks ago and took our new soft floor camper.  We realised that with a 17ft tent that it was too big for two people (so selling it now; we only just purchased it; hope to get a Penguin).  What you learn by experience!  The camper performed very well and gave us great comfort.

I would be interested to know what other similar brands/models you looked at and why you chose the Penguin?

Cheers  Brad

  When I bought my Swan the dealer gave me some incorrect info on the 12v awning, be aware you cannot fit an annex or end shade/sunblocker walls.Im considering changing to the rollout if the dealer will come to the party with a good price.

What is a 12v awning?
