Greetings!

[davethepom]

Good afternoon all.  I just signed up and thought I'd say g'day before I start with all the questions.

As my user name implies, my name's Dave (there's also a clue to my origins).  I've done a fair bit of camping, rough and in a tent, but my wife wants a bit more comfort and desires an off road camper trailer.

I asked some questions on another forum I frequent (this makes 3...what a nerd!) and one of the guys on there steered me in your direction.

I'll try and find the right section to ask a couple of questions now .

Cheers, 

Dave.

We're chasing a galv, off road camper trailer for under $6k.
Tow vehicle(s) are:  '99 4WD v6 Rodeo (had since new and pulls hard) will be the tow vehicle for off road.  The wife's Forester might get used a bit for easy trips.

Two kids, 16 and 13.

Surrey mate.

No need to apologise    , we accept all kinds here even POMs.

Welcome to myswag, if you think getting a CT is making your head hurt, just wait till you visit the Electrical Section. Good luck finding your new CT.

Thanks noel.  I'll see what I end up getting, then brave the electrical section to hook up any extra stuff I need.

I see you are located just near The Summit, would be cool enough there in winter to remind you of summer at home. Spent a few days at "The Springs" just before easter which is on the N.E. highway towards Warwick. While we were there we had a very welcome visit from Chippy76 who lives near Killarney. Had a couple of  to celebrate the occasion. Hope to get back there soon after the winter season is over and might be a good time to get a few swaggers together.

After a few Coopers  , I tend to be more of a stagger than a swagger .  I know what you mean though .

There's one main difference I notice between the weather we're having atm and an English Summer;  It isn't raining.

I love the cool weather!  I live on a North facing hill and we don't get much frost at home (just a slight one in patches this morning).  When I get to the front gate it's totally different.  Heat kills me so I picked the right place to settle, that's for sure!

Thanks!  I love the Granite Belt...shhhh though.  I don't want everybody to know how nice it is or it'll get too crowded!
