Title: G'Day from Brisbane
Post by: Ricklanga on June 25, 2012, 07:54:44 PM

Hi all,

This is my first post here. I tried to register last night but my user name was taken which I thought a bit strange, 'till I entered it & the password I was going to use & discovered I had registered almost exactly two years ago. Better late then never I guess.

My wife & I have a camper that I built myself. It is a pretty good setup with water, lights, kitchen etc. However we have been thinking how nice it would be to own something like a Jayco. We looked at second hand ones for a while & decided to go to the Brisbane caravan & camping show for a look at new ones as well. We ended up putting a deposit on a Jayco Eagle Outback. We got the annex, annex walls, kitchen awning, bed fly's, roof racks, external BBQ, innerspring mattress, second 9kg gas bottle, second water tank, water pump & probably some other stuff I can't remember. All for only about $4000 more than second hand 2010 models with less stuff. Now we just have to wait 'till September for delivery.

Regards,

Richard.

Hope to see you out there somewhere.

G'day & Welcome.

You have been one of many to not log in before, something that alwaysd surprises me as I look through the list of members. Anyway, glad you came back, and I look forward to reading about your camper and adventures.

Thanks for the replies & warm welcome everyone. I look forward to the weekend so I can take the time to have a real good look around the forum. @ Hairs, we have already booked into Sandy Creek campground for the October long weekend ;D. We are off to Inskip in three weeks for our last camp in our current camper, then will clean it up & put it on the market.
