Hi,
Wife and I are long time campers through scouts, venturers and our respective parents (ok, mine more than hers). With some LSL coming up we decided to take the plunge and move to a more "serious" camping exercise. Current plan is to take the rug rats (6 & 7 YO) out of school next year (term 2) and spend 3-4 months driving up north. Our current CT involves a 9 man tent which, while great and spacious, takes about 45min-1hr to properly set everything up ...

Some pices from one of our recent adventures to Shark bay with it here:

it also takes ~45-1hr to pack up, sometimes longer ... for our big trip next year, this is just too much and we need a bit more luxury too. So after a lot of research we bought a 2nd hand Goldstream storm, named "Harry" http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=49238.0

Both wife and I were born in Melbourne, moved to Norway for a few years where miss 7 yo was born, and then returned to Australia transferring to Perth where mr 6yo was born and we are now.

SO that is us. I've got a passion for fishing, photography, Motorsport and RC helicopter flying - Mrs Eventyr has a passion for reading! :)

CT: "Harry" a Goldstream Storm RL Vacationer Series III  MY2015 - Mods: 250W PV - Victron Regulator - Perm. B.E.S.T. Water filter - External water, storage, lighting, 12V power ... 
Tow: "Pearl" a MY13 LC200 Sahara

Good choice in camper. Not that I am biased in any way... Have fun with it
