Pace you were right about the size of the sites, very cosy. Lucky enough we could drive through and it was a painless set up. It is very fresh here tonight and the new bed ends I made might just be worth their weight in warmth tonight.
Who`s going away for the long weekend?

No problem pace9908 and HM I used the .75mm thick ($29.90lm x 9mtrs 4.5mtrs per end) from Bunnings and fitted them to the lid using press studs (aisle 8 Bunnings). If I had my time over again I would use the .50mm, as it would be a little more flexible and make it easier to fit. I saw on one of the other threads that they used eyelets and stretchy cord. I did the rear one first with the press studs and it took me almost three hours to fit it, but don't take to much notice of that, I'm a good vinyl floor layer, but I wouldn't make money as an upholsterer. So I thought I would try the front one with the eyelets and stretchy cord and it was definitely quicker to put up, just over an hour, but I prefer the finish of the press studs. So I'm actually going to change that to press studs as well when we get back.
I'll take some photos of it when we get back to the van, my gorgeous wife has suckered me in to going to the factory outlets in Torquay, for the "we'll just have a quick look".

Ah, not the old "we'll just have a quick look"' trick.
The last time I heard those words we were just going to check out the Jayco colour schemes.
Left with a $42k pre-loved Expanda!
Lucky you got a gorgeous wife as well! Let's know how many dollars she saved you today.
Ahh the bunnings plastic, yep used the thicker stuff on my vent covers. Good to know which thickness you recommend, that's handy. Thanks for the info mate. Did you fit new push on studs to the lid? Was that easy enough. As for the factory outlets, you bloody poor bugger. I feel for you......Theres not a hardware aisle in sight in those places, it's a wasteland for blokes, I won't go, and when I have to she has to drag me by the ear......
Mrs Pace said same thing to me Az, ended up leaving Torquay with new summer outfits for kids,bikinis for her, i got a cap. Oh, 2 organic penny boards too, poor visa card got a dent that day. Pace.
pace9908 you might want to edit that last post on my iPhone the first line it reads "bikinis for her and I" I couldn't read any more!
Had to go to Rays outdoors to get 2 sleeping bags because dumbarse Matt forgot to pack them. Last night was freezing and I don't think the plastic helped much. The heater was flat out all night and I was still cold! Every time my face touched a "fresh" part of the pillow I woke. Not the best night.

Yep, same for me pace9908 except I only have one 4 year old daughter, so it didnt cost me as much.
I have attached some pictures to explain my post.

Had a great weekend away in Bendigo weather was really good for this time of year fine days and freezing nights. The park was a real surprise and I will do a review later, but we will definitely be going back! We didn't see much of Bendigo but we did enjoy it.
Thanks Xpandafan for the tip. As I mentioned earlier, we made a booking for dinner Friday night...WOW what a meal. My 3 sons and I all chose the "Meat Axe - your meat lover Parma with ham, bacon, salami, chorizo, bolognaise, sausage, napoli, cheese & smoky BBQ sauce" while my wife and daughter chose something a little more ladylike
With 6 of us the buy one get one for 5 bucks was great. I'd recommend this place to everyone - Shamrock Hotel in Echuca (5482 1039)Meet the "Meat Axe" :hungry:
Your welcome. Glad I'd had my dinner before I read your post! Love the pic, seems you and the boys checked off all the major food groups there. Hope you didn't back up for the dessert Parma's?

I'm ashamed to admit it but we were talking about this very Parma at the NSW meet on the weekend. Looks as good as I imagined!
