Hi guys and gals,

I'll admit I'm completely new to camp trailering and trying to soak as much info and learn what I can while my wife & I decide what camper to invest our hard earned into.

At the moment we have some criteria to adhere by although, as always, the lines are a little grey.  We want to sleep off the ground and the unit needs to be as sealed as possible to prevent creepy crawlies.  Current budget is around $25k.  It will be required to survive the likes of the Kimberley, Gibb river, etc and also should be easy to tow along the beach.
And we've only got 18 months until our "Top End Trip"  to test, purchase and modify our new home away from home.

Cheers :cheers:

G'day Ben, welcome to myswag.

That a big decision but 25K will certainly get you a hell of a camper...

Cheers guys.  My wife has her eye on the Jayco range but I'm a bit worried it's not as "off-roady" as I'd like but who am I to argue with SWMBO!?
