Well we picked up the new camper on 22nd Dec and have already taken it for a trial trip.

That's way too clean!!!!
You must have been good people to get that off Santa.
Speewa has been waiting for his Hummer from Santa but it didn't arrive. You may need to give him some tips I think.
Looks like a beauty, hope you enjoy it.

more pics.
we stayed at the Discovery Coast Caravan and Camping park just out of Agnes Water.
It is a great spot if you love big sites, natural shade and nature. The owners are quick to shut down too much noise which was great. No doof doof blasting out of car stereos here. It has a salt water pool and basic camp kitchen. and best of all, although the other parks in the area were packed in like sardines we had a ton of space.
Already planning the next trip.

Wow, that is a lot of tent! Do you hire it out for weddings and conventions?

Looks very much like our ezytrail, well done for putting up the full annex & extension - did you get a planning permit for it?
Im gonna put some of-sets on the boat rack receivers to get the racks outside of the line of the top. Should make fitting them easier and enable you to open lid with rack on (but boat off).
We've been happy with ours - have replaced the plastic clips on the straps with metal ones. No other major issues yet. Have had it for 7 months and done 20 nights and 7000km.
Well done!

yep the boat racks are one thing that need mods. we are looking at options as we also want to mount the outboard on the front of the rack. we swapped the foam rock in the bed for an innerspring we had in the sofa bed and it was the best idea yet. had great nights except for the teething 18 mnth old.
we are looking at putting pins instead of bolts in for the boat racks to make them easier to remove, also want to add rollers to the rack.
i have already stood on one of the plastic clips and broken it, so will have to replace soon. did you find that the cover would fill with air when driving? we had to put extra straps on to keep the cover from turning into a balloon.
as for planning permission, yep it a big one alright. we went away with 3 adults and two kids so the extra space was great.
so far so good as there are no major things to fix but as always in this budget range there are always little things that need work. keeps me tinkering which is good.

yes, I thread a light rope in a zig-zag across the cover thru the brass eyelets on the edge and tighten it up this way
look forward to seeing your future adventures.
