Yes, it's been way too long...:-)

the weekends trip to katherine went well. Kind of.

Tucker is improving but the vet is still concerned about traces of blood in his urine and he's suffering a little from anemia. So I'm back in Katherine again in two weeks time for more blood work for him.

We took the Kedron and it tows a treat over the rough dirt roads.

Set up at the Big4 Breeze in katherine on a lovery patch of green(ish) grass and settled in.

We'd never opened the awning before... so that was a new skill to learn. Lift this, slide that, release this other thing... But Youtube is a great instructor.

Not so easy to get the water system(s) working... there are three water tanks. One is specifically for drinking and the other two are for washing/showering etc. (the previous owner had always run an inline filter when filling so all three tanks are drinkable)

The thing is... they all fill via a screw on fitting on the end of the filer hose into the one filler. I was of the mind that they would all fill in a cascading fashion, open all three filling valves (hidden under the fridge) and all three would eventually fill.

Nope. Advice from the Keddron owners group, explained that I need to close all but the one that i want to fill. (makes sense if you're actually separating the quality of water in each tank)

There are then two taps under the sink... (apparently refered to as "delivery" valves). I assumed that one was drinking water only and the other one was for the other two combined tanks.

Nope. The drinking water tank has it's own system and is 100% separate from all other water systems. It has a switch on the wall that runs the drinking water pump. The other two taps are actually for the two individual "washing" tanks. (again... I guess so that you can choose to use the tank of your choice, depending on the quality of the fill)

we also have some random switches here and there that appear to relate to nothing.

So much to learn.

In positive stuff... the bed is absolute heaven. The mattress and topper are sooooo comfortable.

also... ya know how they say that people start to look like their pets... I don't see it at all...

long time no see.

No, not a Patrol, nor the dark side...I now have a 2025 VW Amarok Pan Americana with many goodies and I now tow a Eagle 12ft Off Road Van...:-)
