G'day Gang,
Just found the forum the other week as we were doing some groundwork research and loved the info and set up of the forum. You guys should be very proud of what you've built here.
Anyhow, we've gone an purchased a 2012 17.56.2 Outback recently and hope to pick it up/get it delivered in the next week or so.
And we've thrown ourselves in the deep end because:
We're a family of 5, with the 3 rug rats keeping us busy (6yr, nearly 5yrs and 2yrs) but making us live life to the full. They have loved caravan shopping and are besides themselves at the thought of taking one with us when we holiday.
We've been accomplished "tenters" from way back, just decided that it was time for the next step. We're planning a "Round the Block" tour in 4/5yrs and hence decided to get a van that will service that requirement (hopefully). In the mean time we just want to get some good grounding in 'vanning, 4x4'ing and everything in between.
We are completely green on this world so please bear with me if I ask some stupid quesitons... but I always figure the most stupid one is the one you don't ask.
I look forward to participating in this forum and looking at new ways and oppurtunities to get the most out of our new purchase.
Cheers gang.

And we've thrown ourselves in the deep end because:
- I've never owned a caravan
- I've never towed a caravan
- I don't own a vehicle capable of towing the aforementioned 'van!
(I've started a thread in the Tow Vehicles thread calling for ideas for a rig to tow the 'van - please help!)
