Welcome Rusty,
I hope you enjoy your time here.
With that mob you are going to need a large soft floor camper.
There are plenty on here, with kids, who will be able to advise you on what brand/model.

Cheers
Parry

Hi Rusty,

Welcome to the forum, not sure where your nearest "CT Dealer" would be but Tammy aka "The Nurse" resides in Newman and is an agent for the mighty Trackabout's.

Welcome, I think there are a few members in Tom Price, I know I met two yesterday who dropped past to pickup a solar kit on their way south.  Not sure what their username is though so not really much help ;D  checking out some members campers in the flesh and visiting Davo and the Nurse might be a good start.

G'day & Welcome.

Most campers can be fitted with an additional room, mine has one, which makes fitting in a large family and all the gear easy.

Hi Rusty welcome to My Swag, might see you out there one day once you get your camper as we are sort of neighbors. Some great spots out there as well. I am in the process of getting my camper and can't wait. 7 and a half weeks to go till I go to Perth to pick it up the wait is killing me so I know how you feel.
