G'day & Welcome.

Three months. Agony. Best of luck with it. You might need to tent it along to a myswag get together in the mean time.

Morning Phil & Deb and welcome to Myswag.
Know exactly what you mean about getting a bit old for the tenting.  Hubby and I are in the same boat - been tent camping for decades and have now upgraded to a camper trailer.
Weather permitting, we'll be off for a few days come Wed - our first outing with the new camper.  Can't wait!
While you're waiting for yours to arrive, there's bucket loads of reading and researching to do here on the forum.
Enjoy.
Cheers,
Sharyn  :D
