welcome fellow happy campers

[eddy]

G'day fellow CF campa owners and interested parties,

make no mistake the humble CF camper van is one of the best kept CF secrets.

I have owned 12 CF vans and the camper I was lucky enough to find is by the BEST I have had, it may not have the looks of the custom vans or the desireability but for real practicality along with the durability of the CF, it cannot be beaten. This site will cater for all those interested in campers & motorhomes, I am by no means an expert in the field so I am looking forward to being advised by and sharing information with those that are. So post up your q's and topics because from what I have learnt so far during my build is that there are a lot of additional q's relating to campers and motorhomes, ...... happy camping

Hey eddy, well this our 2nd motorhome which we are still working on alot of the cancer hidden up, the 1st was a real buetty I'll post a few pics of it soon as i find the thread about posting pics, as you say the cf campers can't be beaten, iam glad they have included this section so you can get ideas from other campers and spots to camp as well, when the caravan and motorhome show was on a few years back we went to get ideas but at the end of the day it was the same thing over and over all look the same and if anyone farts in there no where to run and hide just suck it up no room, i'll get about posting those pics to show you

cheers snow

Hey Snow,

great to have you on board, I know what you mean about the caravan show, we went to this years at Caulfield and it was the same old story, it seems big budget sales get looked after and not much info sharing for the others. Where are you located ? be a good idea  to do basic introductions and pics of our campers, hoping that this section develops into a great place for info sharing with CF owners who are out there doing it. I have a few pics of my vans in the Gallery section, I'll take some more this weekend and get them posted here.

Yeah Snow, I agree, life is way too short. The simple things in life are the most valued, I have never spent big budget and the beddie camper is as able as a big budget motorhome. And you can park it in the supermarket carpark, some of my best remembered moments are weekends away and having a cooktop and fridge and a bed in the campa, real simple stuff

G'day Restoreid, had a look at your van in the gallery, nice work your doing there, good to hear that you have yours on the road, I recently decided to let my rego slip and intend now to do a rebuild before shes back on the road ( we have two other regos so the V8 was the first to let go), I will take the V8 out and replacing it with a black efi 202, working on some rust repairs but the camper won't fit in the garage so have to wait for a change in the weather before doing any major work, great to have you on board ...
