Hi there.

I'm Bec and my hubby is James. We are a family of four traveling and working around Aus for at least 12 months or longer. Kids are 6 and 7.

We currently have a 25 year old caravan that we are hoping to "upgrade" to an offroad camper as soon as someone offers us enough cash for the van! (Know anyone who wants an old 20 foot on roader in FNQ?). Can't wait for the freedom of the trailer!

We're from the Far South Coast of NSW but currently hanging out in FNQ while I work to make us some cash for the next leg of the trip. I'll be asking all sorts of questions I'm sure as we've never had an off road camper before!

Anyway, HELLO! From us!

Welcome to the tribe Bec, James and family.  Good luck with your CT purchase.  Look forward to reading of your adventurers.

Happy camping

WE ARE! Have been stuck in one place too long (have a three month work contract) and we're getting itchy feet and need to move on!

Recently sold my off road Jayco Dove Van and replaced with a Dingo offroad camper - already know that the camper is more our thing!!  Hope it all works out for you as well!  8)

Welcome to my swag Bec and James.  How long you guys hanging around up here for? I am sure some swaggers can show you their camper setups and answer most of your questions.  I am happy to show yous ours but it isn't getting delivered until next month.

gypsymama

Thanks for the replies everyone and making me feel welcome! We're here until early June at this stage. Then either heading up the cape or accross to Darwin depending on our accomodation or maybe we'll do both! :-)
