Been here a while but just bought a camper.
« on: December 29, 2012, 08:23:25 AM »
I just thought I'd say hi and thanks for all the info I have gleamed while searching through here.

I've just purchased a Pioneer Sundowner Rv s/hand and hoping to get it out in the next day or so.

While I am very happy with the camper there of course will be mods along the way! :D

Due to living on the eyre peninsula S.A. there is lots of places nearby to enjoy the new camper, and hopefully will be able to do a lot more weekenders now I don't have to pack a 6x4 full of tent and all  camping gear.



Wish you all a happy new year,
Alex

Welcome Halex!
With all those local sites I'm sure you will get lots of use from your camper.

Welcome Halex,

Eyre Peninsula is a beautiful part of the world, my Grandma came from Cummins, I spent the odd holiday in Tumby Bay as a kid but I'm still yet to drag the family over that way  :D

Where abouts are you placed.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

 I'm in Port Lincoln Yimmy. It's a great place to live.

We just come back from five days in the Lincoln National Park. We couldn't have asked for better weather.

I was too busy relaxing to take a lot of  photos of the camper while out there but I have got a few ill try to post.

Hi we went away last weekend to the Lincoln NP and I took a few snaps of the camper.
We didn't set up the annex, I just used the awning off the car as we only stayed a couple of nights.
The weather was warm which made spending most of the day at the beach even better!

Welcome aboard Alex.

That's a nice looking setup you've got there. Look forward to seeing pics of the mods to come.

G'day & Welcome Alex

I too find it hard to stop camping or wheeling to take some photos. Enjoy your new camper, and give your wife the camera  :laugh:.
