And counting

Hour handover. Can't remember a thing. Unpacked the car into the van closed the door and made it to Tanunda by 3pm. Couple of near misses on the Sturt Hway. Thanks Toll but got here.
Set up sort of and trying to work out if to keep sorting cupboards or go buy beer and kick back.

@relgate everything packed away for now. Now the holiday starts. Barossa to Streaky Bay to Cape Le Grand in WA. Only twelve days but we have picked 3 places we really wanted to see and are spending a couple of days at each.
Get to check out the solar panels along the way as well.

The Barossa is a great part of the world, and we have turned on some pretty nice weather for you! Oh and the locals are pretty nice folk too
@crackacoldie the weather is beautiful. A bit cool last night but the AC took the edge off. There is heaps on this weekend in he valley too but unfortunately we are only here for a day.
Great van bet you be happy with it we got the 20 as well but on road and loving it
@crackacoldie mate still in Streaky Bay. Leaving on Tuesday for the rocket run across the Nullabor. If the weather is good we will do 2 days at Cape Le Grand national park then home.
The van travelled really well 740kms on the first leg. Sat on about 105 kph and I think we got 19l/100. Will work it out when we get back.
As yet there is nothing I think we would have done differently with the extras. We are going to get some solar shades for the annex for some privacy and wind protection that's about it so far.

Brotys the layout works so well. We feel that we still have our space and the kids have theirs.
Just need to work on them about dumping all their crap on the floor when they walk in the door.
Good luck with that one! If you manage to achieve it, can you give me some pointers as I have 3 that do it, in the van, the house, the car......
Our twin boys used to drop their cricket gear just inside the door on Sunday afternoon when the match was over. One day my wife got tired of it when it was there two days later. She picked it up and dumped it in the wheelie bin. Come Saturday and the boys wanted to know where their gear was, were told "in the bin", they had to empty a weeks rubbish out of the bin to find all their stuff, which smelt even worse than it usually did. ainkiller: From then on it was put in the cupboard that it was supposed to be in. eace:
