New To The Group
« on: March 23, 2013, 07:14:18 AM »
Hi there,

I am in the market for my first camper trailer. Currently driving an AWD territory diesel but will likely move into the world of 4WD's in the future. For this reason am seeking a full off road model. Have 3 little girls, the youngest 15months so viewing as a long term investment. Hoping to find some great advice here.

Cheers,

Nick

G'day & Welcome Nick.

I believe I've read elsewhere that your search is ongoing, don't labour over the decision too much. I tend to think that if you buy well, there is no bad decisions, just decisions made based on what you know now and what's available. I always recommend a 2nd hand Australian camper, but if you can't find what you want now, get what you can and change up when you've had more time and experience and know more about what you need, what you like and what bargains are around.
