We have a finish date!!!!!
« on: February 19, 2014, 09:10:24 AM »
Hi all....   Very very happy me. 

We have an appointment Monday at 2.30 to pick up our camper trailer.  Very very excited is me.  Must clean out garage. 
They are putting the hot water system ( which I think we will be the first to have) today.  99.9% finished.  Will be getting a call with the final price this afternoon. 

In case you haven't seen them this is what we are getting.

Now hurry up Monday.

Question.

Do you think it would be wrong of me to take the lounge suite that Ug currently has in the man cave and put it in the kids room.  (22 year old). 

That wouldn't leave much room for him but It might encourage him to MOVE OUT! 

Camper trailer would have plenty of room in the man cave to live comfortably.

Personally I can't see a problem with this and I am sure Ug wouldn't mind..... I won't be touching the beer fridge.

Hmmmmmm.......

They were pretty much dead on with the finish time when we ordered it as well.

John told us end of Feb/early March cos we ordered it not long before Christmas.  We have had a few tiny mods done to it, like an extra gas thing fitted and last week they told us about the hot water so thats gone on as well. 

One thing I can't complain about is the service and the patience of the staff from Outback.  They have been brilliant all the way along.

I would highly recommend this company to deal with.

It's a long wait but it's worth it.  What CT did you decide on?  It's a hard choice.

3 MORE SLEEPS!

Insurance all done today. 

She is almost paid for.  Having to pay in bits cos of daily limit.  Only a little bit to go tomorrow and then its all paid for.  I called Outback this this morning to get the rego and vin number for insurance.  They are registering her today.

I can't wait to get her home and cuddle her and squeeze her.  oooohhhh Nana is so excited. 

Then to find a place for all the goodies we have brought.  Take her to a friends and set her all up so she can get wet a few times.  We have no flat ground here which really sux cos I would like to just sit and look at her.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

1 more sleep.

Up early in the morning to have the electric brakes and Anderson plug fitted to the Pathy! 

Then at 2.30 we meet with Outback Campers to be given the run down on the camper then it's ours!!!

It seems that it's all we have talked about since we ordered it.  I hope that doesn't mean we will be sitting in silence?  I doubt that though.  I think the planning will begin.  I know we are off to Wagga in April for my nephews pass out parade and Mildura in May for nieces birthday.  Even if it's not a long break we will be using it instead of motels. 

Did I tell you that I am just a little excited???  ;)

 ;D

You better take an extra dose of sleeping pills, because you won't sleep a wink otherwise  ;D

As far as the payment goes, if you are using your card. Instead of using savings, use credit and you can pay as much as you like, provided you have the funds in the bank.

Oh and don't forget to take the camera and get some picks at the hand over :)
