G'day from Cairns FNQ
« on: December 30, 2012, 01:09:41 PM »


Hello everyone, we are from Cairns.  A few weeks ago we bought a soft floor, and have since taken it out for a couple of short trips to practice setting up.  The first set up was almost a failure but we survived.

The second set up we seemed to have it all crooked.  ???  I would love some hints on set up!!

We are aiming for a 3 month trip at the end of 2013 so have plenty of time

Cheers & a wonderful New Year to all.

G'day Suzette,

To Myswag,
Practice makes perfect, the more you get to set it up the better you will get at it.  ;D
Set it up in the back yard and fool around with it, see how by doing things different it effects the way that it stands and goes up.
You'll have it sorted before your trip  ;D   Hope you enjoy your time here.
Happy & Safe travels.
 :cheers:
