Finally did it!
« on: November 06, 2011, 08:42:53 PM »
G'day all,
After many, many months of researching the net, pestering manufacturers over the phone, dropping by showrooms and days spent at camping shows and leisurefest, My wife and i finally agreed and made a decision to drop our hard earned (well actually the banks not so hard earned at this stage), on an xtrail ranger.  Sam was fantastic to deal with and looked after us well.  The only down side is waiting as it won't be built till the new year.  Cheers everyone for all the great contributions to the Myswag forum, it has made the search for our first camper more enjoyable.   Now looking forward to putting the tent into storage till the kids want to use it themselves.  Cheers Mick.
