From stalker to member!

[Soaring]

Hi all. After stalking the forum on and off for the past few months, I have finally got around to joining. I have to say this is an absolutely great site with really knowledgeable people.
So about me. I live in Eltham Victoria, married with three Daughters, Automotive engineer.
We have been holidaying in a cheapo Camper trailer (tent) for the past few years, but the set-up/pack-up time and packing away wet canvas has finally beaten me. Its time to upgrade!
Im currently looking at the 17.56-2 OB, but during a recent visit to Prestige Jayco, I managed to snaffle a drawing of the new 20.63-1. It has definitely got me thinking.........

Welcome to the forum, Soaring. Lots of friendly and knowledgeable people here and we would certainly enjoy having an automotive engineer along with us to offer even more expertise. Enjoy the search and selection for the new van & ask for opinions from members. Keep us posted on your decisions.

Its almost a national sport putting S#$%t on Victorians...its fun the whole family can enjoy

yep all good up here mate, thanks for asking. Good news is the Panda is safe, got a bit shaky though, expected to get a tree through it with the wind howling. Feel sorry for the folk in Bundy though and the general area up there. They have been smashed.
Here's a couple of pics of the area right in front of our place. Some before and after shots. Hard to understand why people try to drive through stuff like this hwell:

Did that :tongue:

In grand fashion too!
