Hi Guy's 'n' Girl's 
Just a quick hello and introduction to the camper world.
Been camping around a few spots and I'm sick and tired of having the Hilux chocker full of gear.
I'm currently using a rooftop tent and have the back of the hilux decked out with draws and fridge and bibs n bobs. But once I'm set up I'm stuck there at camp not being able to drive around and explore as much as I want. .
So it's time to  get a camper!!!!!! ????
I currently live in Coffs Harbour and love the area, ,eg station Creek , platypus flats,  Dalmorton. ..heaps of more exploring to do.
I'm heading up to Brisbane and collecting my first camper tomorrow and felling just a bit excited.  Even the hand break is excited  :cheers: ,  Mars surveyor.

Picked up CT yesterday from Woodridge QLD , did the one day mission up and back from Coffs.
Long drive but worth every km.

Welcome to Myswag.

Camper trailers are the best option in my opinion.

The dream - to travel like a snail with my home behind me, seeing every inch of Australia.

Life is a gift and too short to waste.

Yeah I've got a CT mod list going and that's growing most days with ideas from the fellow swaggers online here. 
I do have a handy little list from the Wikicamps that I find pretty handy before heading off for a camping trip.

:cheers: to everyone

gosh, what a lot of coffs harbour people on this forum! glad to know we'll be retiring to an area with people we have so much in common with - down here in cannedberry (at least where I work) campers are looked down on - so many boring miserable bigots down here (and theyre not all public servants either!)

Hey Thorno

How is the surveyor?

I am getting the same camper. Adding the battery and the 240v inverter pack.

Are you as happy as a pig in mud in it?

Byron

Thorno

Hi Byron
Yeah I couldn't be happier for my first CT,  try and do the pvc pipe mod for your poles.
I'm running dual battery's for 12v in CT ,  inverter is in my truck.
Have fun and enjoy.   :cheers:
