Tick tock spoke to the dealer fingers crossed the van will be there on time depending on transport but the annex probably won't be completed on time :-(

Hi Relgate, We decided we would rather have the extra storage underneath The fix bunks and it will be more comfortable for the kids with a one piece mattress vs three cushions, plus couldn't see us using a small two seater table.


That makes sense. Tick, tick, tick...

Yes it was till my phone call this morning. Unfortunately we will have to wait another week or so due to the van arriving late and the fitment of the annex. I didn't realize that each van is individually measured for its annex. O well good things are worth waiting for.:)

That's a great list scott. You and the family are going love it. Looks like you will be set up for some free camping by a river somewhere...the best type of trips IMO. Those drifter control panels look the goods. I enquired about one at my last service, i think it was somewhere between $300-$400 plus fitting!!!

Hey Scott, I see you are heading up to Cairns. We live here (Northern Beaches) and got our 17.56-2 last week. We love it.
When you are up here may I suggest you go to Cape Trib Camping ground.

http://capetribcamping.com.au/

It is our favourite by far. 2 hour drive north of Cairns. They have a wood fired pizza oven and cold beer, great swimming too.
