Hi There,

Nice set up  ;D.  Thanks for posting up the piccies.  Have you thought about where your first trip is going to be to?

A weekender somewhere close to Brisbane, maybe Wivenhoe or Somerset?

Latest Mods: Hyland Hitch replacing the ALKO Jayco one so we can open the back door on our Pajero.
                     PurpleLine EGO so we can park the Camper under the Carport in our backyard.

First Practice Run last Weekend: 706Km with 12.71Ltr/100Km economy in the Pajero over the Easter Weekend around Northern NSW.

Stayed at Yelgun Rest Area (9), Grafton Showgrounds (38) and Burringbar (7)

Went to Brunswick Heads, Maclean, Grafton and Ballina

Practised setting up & pulling down - found we left the bag end flys loose, with out the poles on the bitumen sites. Just tied them off to the Draw & Bumper bar.
This assisted with the heavy overnight dew.
