Hi Everyone,

I have been sitting back reading this forum for a while now and decided it was about time I got involved.

Firstly let me congratulate you all on your respect for each other. I am impressed how such a large group of like minded people can treat each others thoughts, questions and opinions with open mindedness. It was this general level of acceptance that encouraged me to be involved.

I have been camping and 4WDing since birth thanks to my parents. Now history is repeating itself as I try and give my kids the same experiences I enjoyed as a boy. My wife and I have used a variety of swags, tents and tarps until our latest child has come along just recently. It has become obvious we needed a better set up so have bitten the bullet and ordered a Complete Campsite CT.

Will shoot some more info up in more relevant threads but wanted to say well done and look forward to talking with you all soon.  ;D

Welcome mate.

My thoughts exactly D4D, but hey, that forum is loaded with 12V. Surely that will damage the brain.

Thanks Steinzy, GG and Black Diamond

I know your pain Donuts!

Took us about 24 months to come to a conclusion on a CT. We went through Ultimate, TVan, mountain trail, KK and Johnno's before we settled on the CC. Very glad we did though.

Good luck with your decision. ???

Thanks Smoko!

Andy, we have about 4 to 5 weeks left. CC are working on about an 8 week wait or so at the moment I think. Can't wait till it arrives. You'd be enjoying your MT for sure I would reckon. They are two very similar trailers. I will have to post some photos of the shake down trip after we get it.

:cheers:

Yeah Andy, it does feel like it takes for ever! The last time I was this excited I was 7 and it was 2 weeks till Christmas. ;D We have been keeping ourselves amused by working out where we will keep/store everything. It will be a completely new experience after the tent and swag camping we have been use too.

Do you have a trip planned for your MT arrival? I bet you will be standing there an hour early waiting for the truck to arrive.
