Hello Koggers, Yesterday, as a result of this thread started by Roamer, I joined the FB page and made the following post: Colin Toll 4:38pm Nov 5 I have just joined Off-road caravanning Australia. It was a good idea by Sam to start the FB page. I have owned a Kedron Top Ender for the past five years and really have enjoyed the off-road caravanning. I note that most of the contributors here so far are BT owners but that the content is about caravanning and not brand promoting. That is great! Mike Willis, the originator of the FB page responded with the following. Mike Willis 5:01pm Nov 5 G'day Colin. Sam is my son - I asked him to open the new page, add my van photo etc because I am technically useless. As you said, BT owners are as thick here as fleas on a dog. That is because they all did me a big favour, to get this page up and running. We all want to hear from a bigger pool of adventurers than just BT owners. Somehow, I have to let the forums of other off-road vans know that the page exists. I have been able to leave a message on the Spinifex Owners Forum, but if anybody can get one on these following owners forums, it would help us greatly : Trakmaster Off Road Australia Kedron SLR Free Spirit Kimberley Cruiser There is a heap of adventurous van owners who don't own one of those vans listed above, but they are more dispersed and harder to contact. The more friends we have, the more interesting discussions we will have. I hope it all comes together ! Mike I asked Mike if he would mind if I did a "cut and paste" of his comments onto the KOG site. Mike agreed to my suggestion. So, Koggers, over to you. Join and enjoy! Regards Colin

Hi this is Tassie, I have misinterpreted the post and would like to apologise to anyone that I may have offended with my response. Due to my mis interpretation my response was inappropriate and on re reading, I have determined that I was out of line.

Roamer .....thanks for the post....interesting Facebook page Tassie..... I have to agree with John (Blinky Bill) yes I/we choose a Kedron & me personally am very happy with my choice. I really don't think that it matters all that much what van you have as long as your vertical & breathing enjoying this magical country & life of ours. I can understand your comment, & when you take delivery of your Kedron & really get into the spirit of things.....you should/may mellow out I can see from your posting status that you are a fairly new member (welcome to the group by the way)

Hi Tassie There are lots of good adventures, places, ideas, and nice like minded people out there,that don't own a Kedron. that you may like to communicate with and share, maybe even meet some new friends, or find out something you didn't know. It's a new group and just happens to be started by a BT guy, which at the moment has mostly that brand of owners, hence why I have posted here to try and gain a broader range of like minded people. Blinky Bill has got the right idea, Cheers

Wow Tassie, Your comment has made me so very sad My interpretation of the original post is a gentleman who just happens to be a Bushtracker owner has on his own initiative set up a facebook page for all off road van users to contribute and share experiences and ideas, not make comparisons of brands, what type of van you own appears immaterial to this facebook page. It may also be an attempt to dilute the fierce rivalry between off road brands. I had no idea that your thoughts were the ethos of the "Kedron Family" if this is so, I must be adopted, and will hand my membership back immediately and look for a new family. You ask "Why would we"? Well I would think there is a wealth of knowledge and experience amongst the members here that could be shared with other less experienced offroad van users. I also know that I for one don't know everything and there is much I could glean from the input and experiences of other offroad users. Knowledge is power Tassie. Am I really adopted? John
