newbie - from perth wa
« on: August 18, 2011, 01:21:21 PM »
hi all

just introducing myself im niki. new to all this my partner and i are either looking at buying or building a camper :) he is a stainless steel fabricator so would be a wiser for us to builder and make it to our liking.

we have some friends who have a camper and after going away with them and seeing how easy and practical it was to have one we are in thought as to wanting one.

well hope that we can get some great ideas from this forum and make some new friends too

Thanks guys, we are looking forward to doing the investigations on what is the best way to go. I have been reading the posts and been doing the research and looking at great buys on the net. the options are endless on what size to go and what to put in and on the trailer. im sure we will have lots of fun.

G'day & Welcome.

One drawback to building, IMHO, is the time it takes, but as you say, you then get it made to your own specifications.

Best of luck
