Hi Guys,
First time poster, long time stalker. I enjoyed reading a lot of your stories and tips in preparation for our big decision to invest in a panda.
We have been long time campers travelling in both tents and our current GIC Camper trailer but we have finally taken the plunge after getting the ultimatum from the wife that she has paid her dues and deserves a bit more luxury while camping.
We have just ordered a 17.56-2 OB. Let me tell you October can't come soon enough! I think I have spent more time deciding on buying a van than what I did with my own house.
Our extra's include, Stereo, Drifta display, extra power points, water filter, outdoor shower, picnic table. Was also happy to find out that the July promo included free stability control and bed end covers. We have made the concious decision to leave the TV and Arial out figuring that travelling is the perfect opportunity to unplug. I'm staring at enough screens at work and uni.
First mods will include the McHitch Uniglide, Toolbox (although haven't worked out what to do with the spare wheel) and some sort of swing out bike rack (if you know someone that can do this for me let me know).
We currently live on NSW Central Coast and have 3 boys 12, 10 and 9. Most of our camping trips have been up the north coast but now turning attention inland. We are planning on heading to Uluru and back via SA over 4 -5 weeks next year. I'm sure that it will be much easier to cover the distance in a panda compared to a trailer with all the overnighters.
Anyway thanks for sharing all your posts.
