New Ct buyer but long time tenters

davenmarcia · May 25, 2011, 02:58:16 PM

Hi we are from newcastle area and new to the camper trailer scene however have been tenting for may years. Have decided to purchase an ebay special for a first timer as we figure if we have the trailer we can always update the tent to a better one.

Just thought i'd say hello all.

G'day Dave, we've done a similar thing. Been tenting for ages and now looking forward to the extra storage, comfort and convenience you get from a CT.

What were your motives for upgrading to a trailer from a tent?

Jason.

Hi Dave & Marcia

Welcome to My Swag, it doesn't matter what CT you have as long as it provides you enjoyment and relaxation

Welcome to MySwag if you need info re CTs just ask

Hi all

Smocky motivation to upgrade was the addition of 2 kids (now 3.5yr and 16mnths) to the family.

We will be dragging it around with a 1991 2.8 hilux dual cab with turbo. or for the not so offroad sections a nice and comfy vz commodore.

We are in scouting so it will take us anywhere but looking at a cape trip mid 2012 or 13.

already planning my first mod by making the led strip lights. however its a bit hard when i haven't picked the trailer up yet lol

Welcome to Myswag Davenmarcia and congrats on upgrading to a camper trailer.
Hubby and I have been tent campers for years and recently bought a ct and we just love it.
Just love having it all packed ready to go - throw in some food and clothes and you're off. So much easier.
Enjoy yours when you get it. You won't regret the decision.
Cheers
Sharyn
