Yeah the plan is to take it my mates in Dromana and setup I his backyard and soak it with the hose. Unfortunately I won't be able to in my backyard because It will sink In the yard at the moment and I'll never get it out. Another option is to do it under my pergola and keep wetting it with the hose everyday then let it dry out.

Thanks black diamond, I'll be sure to do that!!!!

Congrats Dan  :cup: :cup:

If possible, set it up in the back yard for a while and let the rain season the canvas.

Congrats Batto.
Don't worry about a brake controller.......brakes are overrated anyway.

Put it up last weekend rats,
Verrry happy with it! I could only fit it setup like this for now. But gave it a good soaking a couple of times and let it dry over about 3/4 days. All packed up and ready to go camping now! Still need to do that brake controller though!

Nice mate. It looks very similar design as our old ezitrail camper.
We need to catch for weekend trip when the weather warms up..
