hello everyone,
im a first time user to this site and i just picked up a camper trailer from a local friend. hoping to pick up some handy hints and tips. we have always done our camping with tents and a gazebo of some description, but finaly made the jump to a trailer type. we have fallen in love with it. now its time to tinker with the little extras as all good males do.
the names andrew but lots of people call me shorty. i live in Waroona west aust.
married 2 kids and we all love a good
camp out. i work in the mining game and also love fishing and outdoors in general.
cheers

G'day Shorty
Commiserations on your location - maybe you'll get to live in a real State one day :-)
You probably need to supply a little more info - hints and tips for what? If for the CT then make/model might help people to help you with what they've done to theirs.
Anyway - enjoy the fishing and outdoor life.

Hi Shortylook,
Welcome to ExplorOz.
There should be some good information for you under Articles - Caravans and Camper Trailers.
Also, if you need specific information on a particular topic or problem, just ask the
Forum and you will get a plethora of information, mostly good.
There is also another
forum which I'm sure David and Michelle wouldn't mind me mentioning.
Campertrailers.org
This site has a good handy technical section covering things such as Wheel Bearing maintenance and adjustment and a host of other topics.
Between the two web sites, you can gather much information, then post a query on this
forum to get a reply.
Good luck with your investment and have a great time camping out in the great outdoors.

Welcome aboard Andrew. A great place for information and expertise of all sorts. Did the big lap in a C/T in 2006 which seems so ,long ago now. Loved our many slow months crawling up the west coast and exploring the inner deserts.
Enjoy.
Mick

bit of info on our trailer. its a gic camper. we got it off a friend who used it twice and found it too difficult with little kids. It is the 12ft off road camper. basically it has nothing special on it, just the normal things.
water tank, external tap, toolbox, spare tyre holder, gas strut assisted lift (thank christ),fuel and water jerry holders and gas bottle holder.
we are testing it out this weekend in
augusta so we are pretty excited.
cheers for the hello's everyone
