Title: Hello.
Post by: Eureka on May 17, 2012, 04:21:24 PM

Hello All. Have been lurking for about 3 weeks whilst researching campers. I found this site by accident, following a suggested thread on a RV site. Anyway, our tug will be our 2WD Territory with a backup tug being our Falcon ute. So the camper only needs to be dirt road capable- or in sales speak 'semi off road'  ( what a joke that term is!)
Anyway, a couple of  teenage boys ('undies last 4 days don't they' sort) and their younger sister (box trailer of clothes for an over night stay sort!), and an expected usage of 2 or 3 times a year ( we have access to the family holiday house down the coast) means not putting much money into a camper . A bit of a challenge so far.
 I have lots of camping and 4WDing experience, but this camper is only intended for caravan park camping. Once the girl leaves home we intend to go 4WD/off road, so new camper will be purchased at that point. Of course thats if teh next few governments dont go and take all my savings and super away like they have done so far >:(

Knowledge - electrical/ electronics of the Cessna/Piper/Robin/AeroCommander aircraft type, PC hardware, hobby knowledge of solar and auto electrics. Reasonably confident on mechanical things, but must admit I prefer to pay some one to fix  modern engine bay stuff.

Anyway, we are based at Liverpool in NSW, so may bump into a few of later on.

Hi Eureka.

Welcome to MySwag! 

Next question is Soft or Hard floor.  I'm a bit Aussie Swag biased myself, and these hard floors can be picked up around the $10 - $12 mark (oldies) but still built to last many, many more years.

Good luck with the search though.

Definitely soft floor.
 Kids aren't mine so are pretty soft , so no swags for them. Missus is fine, kids are jello! ;D
