Hi everyone, looks like a great forum. I'm considering a camper trailer but hiring before I buy.
Heading up to Cape York in September with a Kimberly Kamper  from the guys at SEQ Kampers who have been great to deal with.  :cheers:

Thanks for the welcome Scott. We've camped in tents for years but my better half much prefers the room and quick set up of a camper trailer.

Hi and welcome, good idea to try before you buy, that way you can make sure it's what you want then mod it up, enjoy the ride.

Welcome to myswag Greg, hiring before buying is a great way to understand what you want/need in a camper and you've hired top shelf.
