Nicko from one Aussie made Camp-o-matic owner to another, welcome to Myswag.

Now, a bit more information about your Campo and Cruiser would be good, oh and some pics as well please.

Well I have a 2003 GXL Turbo Diesel that has a few extras, but nothing extreme.
I also have a 2003 Camp-o-matic that does ok.  It has all the canvas extras that were available at the time of manufacture and is quite a palace if you go to the extent of putting every single piece up.
I am no fan of making a product cheaper by sending components offshore to have it put together.  I would rather pay the extra and have jobs here in our country as opposed to importing products from overseas.  But that is just how I am.
Got to work out how to place pictures.

At the bottom left of the text screen is "Additional Options..." click on this and then browse for the photos you want to post up from your computer.  Make sure the pics aren't too large as it will struggle to download. (640 x 480 is optimal)

Firstly welcome to My Swag, the best forum around :cheers:

Secondly I am sure most people here would prefer to spend more and buy Australian made products to support Australian companies and jobs but its not that black and white  :cheers:

This post has been modified to cause minimal offence to those who took it that way and now I will go back into my corner :cheers:
