Hi All,

Been lurking for a little while in an attempt to purchase my first camper. Live in North NSW and hoping to spend some more time outdoors.


Information overload at the moment but im sure i'll learn as we go.

Anywho

G'day Sloth and welcome to Myswag.

Welcome to myswag, what sort of camper are you looking for?

[Sloth]

Thanks guys, at the moment im still trying to weigh up options.

I like the idea of a quick setup hard floor but the price of a soft floor entices me. At the moment i have both a roof top tent and an oztent with all the accessories but thinking of selling them both to help fund a ct.

Ideally would like an offroad (have an 08 ML triton) but being my first ct thought a cheaper/second hand would help identify my real wants/needs/dislikes etc.

G'day & Welcome Sloth.

Don't think that all hard floors are easy to setup, or all are easier than a soft floor, it comes back to tent design.

How many do you need to accommodate in this new camper? It is not unrealistic to think you could pick up a quality second hand offoad CT, there's a few good ones going around, and at excellent prices too.

Hi And welcome to the Forum Sloth.

When we first started out we hired trailers to give us a good indication on which way we should go.  Just a thought, try before you buy so it doesnt became a costly excerise and you end up with something that is not suitable.  Also a good idea to start a list of what is the bare minimum you want/need then compare the campers.  Dont forget to ask on the forum also, lots of hard/soft floors here with all different price ranges.

Good Luck with the hunt

Thanks Guys,

Definately still in the planning stages and attempting to take on board all the different things.

How many do you need to accommodate in this new camper?

At this stage only the missus and myself

You have a lot of choices for 2 people, do you plan base camping or short stays?

Sloth  Welcome to Myswag , I am sure we can help you sort out the CT question fro you . Hire first , play with the set up on hard & soft floor may help you decide . The perloved market will give you bang for your buck , extra toys are fun . Nice to see another Mitz man in the ranks .
