    I've bought one! Outback camper

    Ok after the Mrs badgering me for ages that she wants to increase the comfort stakes whilst camping, I have finally succumbed and bought an Outback 'Birdsville' off road camper. We had looked at heaps and made an effort to get to the Leisurefest and decided we liked the Outback campers the best. We saw one in Lethbridge outside of Geelong that had all the features we were after, went for a drive and picked it up last night. I was heading out camping this weekend anyway so I'll post some photos up.

    Cheers
    Julian

    Wasn't expensive ($5800) and had all the features we were after

    Extra bedroom
    59 ltr water tank
    Fully enclosed awning
    240 volt adaptor
    Slide out kitchen ( we are upgrading this so not for long)
    Brakes
    Heaps of storage ( with 2 kids you end up taking the whole house with you)
    Off road suspension and chassis
    And it's Australian made

    We looked at some of the imported jobs and you can see and feel the difference so decided on a quality secondhand one

    The guy I bought it off had owned it from new and was pedantic about its care and it showed we saw heaps that were in terrible condition, the great thing is the manufacturer is only down the road so if we do need anything it's not too far away.

    We plan on doing a lot more of this country and this will certainly make it easier and quicker without loading the car up and making the kids contort into positions that the human body just can't do.

    More importantly the Mrs has no excuse to say no to a trip out now so more 4wding

    So when is the next trip? Lol

    Cheers
    Julian
