Thread: Ordered a Camper Trailer

Must be on the same wavelength!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, we put our tax return towards the same, and have purchased a 12' tent, with annex and optional walls, from ebay (Can highly recomend Lite RVs!!)
Have a heavy duty offroad trailer on order, and round mid Sept should be able to put tent on top, and take the rig out bush for our first trip with 2 kids!! (19mth old and 6wk old!)
All up have saved about $2000 from the RRP of a new camper trailer and am doing some fit out myself. (More money for other toys and beer!!!)

Bring on summer!!!!
Cape Palmerston here we come........ (Followed by the 'Real Cape')

That is a pretty big shed!

Sounds like you've got yourself a well fitted out camper. Well done.

After looking at many different products from many different manufacturers, we settled on a LifeStyle camper. We have odered their Explorer 360 with the following extras

• 12' tent (a must with 3 kids)
• walls on the annex (a must with 3 kids)
• 300mm longer drawbar (to carry bikes for the kids)
• high lid on the front boot (to carry more stuff for the kids)
• sand floor for the annex (again kids, sand ... you know how it goes)
• front side door and prepped for drawbar side awning (great idea to do it now - thanks SEQfisho!!)

Hmm ... Sounds like we've ordered a camper trailer for the kids. Come to think of it, we did! Our aim is to enjoy family life in the same way my parents did for me and my siblings ... can't wait!

Now where are we going to put this new rig??? I know! We need a shed!
18m x 9m ... Yeah ... that ought ta do it!!

Watch this space.

Nice choice of camper BTW

Usually a shade cloth floor. Best thing out for the awning area.

Well done Paul,

I hope John looked after you

Just make sure when you pick the unit up that everything is right as we have had a couple of small issues that were a pain to fix as it was around the time they were relocating factories, we were away again the weekend before last for 3 days and are still really happy with our trailer and are looking forward to our first big trip in it which will either be up to the Fraser coast, 1770, Agnes etc in the next couple of months then a couple of weeks working our way to Cooma next year via Camerons corner etc

the long way

BTW you will love the high lid on the front box and are they adding any extra bracing for the extra length of the drawbar.

awabbit6, nice choice. You should get heaps of enjoyment out of it.

The shed idea will be almost essential to keep the camper like new.

We found the idea that 'oh it's nice to just hook it up and go' did not work for us. Depending if we camped with facilities or without, we needed two sets of gear to take.

For example, 240 or 12v lighting, tele or no tele, drinking water supply (don't rely on any built-in water tank to be suitable for drinking as we found out once), things for the kids to keep busy with, etc.
