Last few days I have
1. Connected a non return valve to the hand pump line so the 12v pump will stop spluttering. This was required due to Jayco not bothering to fit one, you would think they would know wouldnt you  >:(.
2. Changed the Solar Regulator on the Portable Kit and added an Anderson plug to anything that looked like it needed it, much better now and the wife thinks I'm very cleaver.  :cup:
3. Emptied the camper to give it a good clean out in preparation for a 4 day trip this weekend.
4. Currently in the process of cleaning anything and eveything I can get my hands on.

You may well be the only person who unpacks their camper to use it!     ;D ;D

It's funny you say that Steve... We pack 'light' (legacy from our tenting days), and have many a time, stood back after packing the CT and gone "got a bit of room left... what else can we take"

Believe it or not, on our last trip, I manged to put 4 kids bikes in the CT!!!  I $h!t you not... Quite proud of that.

Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

Yep here it is. Looks like a printer but has a sticky board to hold the materials and a blade instead of a print cart.

There are other ones out there "Cricut" is another one that springs to mind. Ours cost about $800 from memory.
It is just like what sign writers use only a domestic version.
You can even scan in line art and have it cut out the shapes. We have done the scout emblem, the Kids school coat of arms and even the Mighty Hawks logo. Takes time to manipulate it in the software but it is great. When Mrs CI does the titles on her pages there is no "If only I had that letter left on this sticker page"
We love it.
Enough Hijacking now

Looked at in parked in the shed *sigh*, wondering where to next.  And then thought I should probably get around to ordering the new jockey wheel and LED tail lights we want to put in.

I filled the kitchen with food. Filled the drifts with all the wife's dried food for baking.
Got rid of the old camp stove and found a place for the bigger new one.
Plugged the solar panel in to make sure batteries are maintained.
We leave for our big lap in 4 days.

The house is empty and everything we own is on or in the CT or 4wd.

Getting nervous now. !
