G'day from WA

[Gryphen]

Hi My names Gryphen, and I'm a Camper Trailer Virgin...

Thanks for letting me join, hopefully I can use everybody's experience to make my first sojourn into trailer campers a successful one.

I'm looking for (at the moment) a hard floor, forward folder, suitable for offroad ( a lot of offroad) for my wife and I (no children will be travelling with us  )

I'll be using a 2011 FJ Cruiser which has had considerable work done already to tow the trailer.

Hopefully I don't ask the most stupidest of questions, moderately stupid is what I'm aiming for.

Thank you in advance.

Kim

Hi Kim,
Welcome to the clan. A picture tell a thousand words. So don't be shy and throw your 20 cents into the pit. It' addictive and very informative.
Cheers

Hi Kim and welcome to the forum. Looking for a hard floor in WA can be a frustrating exercise. We were looking for an older second one a few years ago and ended up buying one from Brisbane and trucking it over. Good luck with your search.

Cheers

Hi Gryphen and welcome to the forum.
Great choice of camper, George builds some quality camper trailers I reckon, and it's great to support a local product 

[WilSurf]

Well done.
What color did you pick?

Hi Guys,

well it took me a bit of time and research to find the right one, but after a few adventures we chose the Argyle Explorer, trailer colour is going to be black, the tent is Green & Sand. We decided on a couple of extras, dual water tanks, independent suspension upgraded kitchen and extra drawers, internal storage shelves (in walkway) 17" wheels (steelies) and MT BAJA ATZ tyres (rims/tyres same as my FJ).

Will be fitting a bike rack to the top of the storage box, and then deciding on which solar panels and genset to go with in the near future.

Thanks to everyone saying hello again

[Gryphen]

Well I collect the Camper this Saturday (all going well, and so far it is)

Here it is back from Powder Coating

[KingBilly]

[Gryphen]

Excited is NOT the word... can't do anything work related... well okay that's normal... but I keep looking at the pictures of it, and listening to the setup video, lol.
