hello from switzerland
« on: March 30, 2011, 05:23:30 AM »
i'm a swiss camper and i hope you understand my english.

my camping career started as a baby in a caravan. as teenager i used different tents. in the last years we travelled with small expedition tents, slept in the car or could use my fathers caravan. to travel with our little 2yo daughter the tent is not comfortable enough and the caravan is somehow too big. in the internet and in a german offroad magazin i found 3dog campers. i liked this "system". in europe this type of camping is not very common. in switzerland there is not a single vendor. since the beginnig of this year there are three different vendors in germany.

in january we drove to a camping fair in stuttgart and a few weeks later we ordered our camper trailer. it's a http://www.dingo-tec.de/sunrise.htm. i think the tent is coming from customline. it'll be mounted on a german onroad trailer. i hope that i can get it in the beginning of may.

Welcome to Myswag.  We probably don't reallise how lucky we are in Australia with the range of campers we have to choose from.  I'm sure your new camper will serve your family well.  May won't take long to come around.

Welcome aboard stormrider, had no trouble reading your 'english' mate :)

You've certainly got the same bug we have here - camping. Doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you're doing it :)
Not many manufacturers there? Could be a golden opportunity to start a new business & trend.

Hope the wait for your new 'toy' isn't too long, & look forward to your reports using it, & seeing your countryside adventures.

Gday Stormrider

Welcome to MySwag. I've actually done some camping in your lovely country, some years back the missus and I spent 12 months touring all over Europe in a campervan (small Bedford van actually) and we spent about 3 weeks in Switzerland around May a great time of the year there ..... an absolutely beautiful country. We're actually back there this July and looking forward to it, but not camping this time visiting friends in Zug. Have fun with your new camper I'm sure it will create a lot of discussion when you pull-up and set-up camp.

Welcome stormrider I'm sure you'll be able to pick up a fair pit of information here, I know I have. I'm just wondering how many other "Australian" forums are in fact multi-national. I think its great that we have members on at least 3 continents...

Yeah, what he said --- I think!!!!!!!!!

I knocked back a job at Pilatus there about 8 years ago and I'm still kicking myself for it.  Enjoy your stay on this site stormrider but most of all enjoy the camping experience.
