Arrived yesterday Jim,

Saw a photo on the myswag facebook page. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh though.

Does this mean we will have to help Bill and Morag wet :cheers: the roof?

Wow ... if you haven't posted any pic's of the new camper , one can only assume that it hasn't arrived .
Have you been able to contact the truck driver at all ?.
Sometimes its better to pay a bit more and go with the established guys .

Best of luck .. hope you get your camper

If we had waited one more day we would have went with Dougies guy instead of the company that we ended up going with.
Everyone was else was more than double the price.
Anyway everything was sorted out and it was a one in a million problem that held it up. Just my luck ehh???
Here is a teaser pic to hold everyone over until we get a chance to set it up fully this weekend.

Oh and as for wetting the canvas.
We we will be at the FNQ Christmas get together so I can guarentee it WILL rain at some point...

We should be able to do a good job of that at Woodleigh Station. I was talking to Bill yesterday, they have started transferring things from the old camper to the new one.

Congrats Bill - it looks like a ripper! You and Morag must be pretty happy with the new toy! As for wetting it down, shouldn't be a problem with the way the weather is here at the moment.

Enjoy!
Matto :)
