Well new to the forums ... introduced by the Brother in law who has been lurking around for a while. and so far have found some great info
We are a family of 4 2 adults 2 teenagers and 2 dogs.
Love the out doors and camping. Been doing both since we where kids.
Lost our 1st 4WD 2002 Prado in the Toowoomba floods in January and replaced it with a 2007 Pajero, we got sick of tent camping and got a basic Bushmans rear fold camper, added a water tank and bike carrier and been having a blast for the last 8 years.
We are starting to look around for a replacment, trying to work out what we want and how much we can afford to spend.
Brother in Law is trying his best to convince us to do a Cape run next year with them so I have a bit of work to do on both the car and What to do about the camper.
hi ausmarvin
Welcome to My Swag looks like you have a few pokers in the fire Happy Trails out there

Welcome to Myswag.
Set your budget first on the camper, and that will narrow the field down a bit. Then sort out what is really essential and what would just be nice to have.
Welcome along, good to see yet another local joining; and a Pajero no less too!!
Any positive outcome from January's event is well received, good to see you've got square! :cheers:

+1 on what Gunna do said. Welcome aboard too :cheers:
G'day & Welcome.
Yes, know how much you want to spend, accept that everything you really want will be just above that, and then work out what you must have in the your camper. ;D
Just resurrected this old thread to also say "Hi from Toowoomba". Have been a member for a while now but have recently relocated to Toowoomba from the Whitsundays.
Hi earle,
Welcome to Toowoomba. Not sure I'd be trading the warmth of the Whitsundays for the chill of Toowoomba this time of year. I hope you're enjoying the area.
Cheers,
Benji
G'day mate and welcome.
Heaps of fun and info here ;D
:cheers:
Howdy mate Welcome to my swag
Welcome to Toowoomba although I think you picked the wrong time of year to move here!
Thanks for the welcomes. I know its cool here but has it got properly cold yet?
Hi earle,
It won't really get any colder but August tends to bring some windy weather. Anyway, the cold let's us enjoy a fire, see some different colours in the gardens and have a change of wardrobe.
Cheers,
Benji

Hi earle, I agree with Benji, the worst of the cold has been, we are starting to warm up a bit now, but the wind is definitely the worst, hate it.
