Ok made it to Tocomwal when we put the van away last time I said it's real close to the fence and could be a problem getting out. The rocks where not put in level and the van goes side to side. For the last three weeks I wanted to fix although Sarah said not that bad. So driving out it rocks and we stopped cm's from the gate postthat's where then fun started backing the van back for it worse as the wheels to go forward have to go down a retaining wall. Two unhitches later and over a hour we where off
Tom Tom then decided after shep to take us down back roads for some reason.
Got here around 3pm
So setup the secondhand annex we got hoping it would fit
It's prob 10cm to high and 10cm long about 5cm to long end walls. Although fits we need a sail track for van and to get a wind guard for wheels. Blowing a gale here so was not fun setting up

Thanks Geoff yes a canvas place near by our place, wanted to see if it fitted first. Took a chance at $750.
Wind died down now very nice in here.
Used the Aussie Traveller AFK so have some Tebbs ones at home I get rid off.
Yes stupid Tom Tom I check settings. Are you down ocean groove?

You will still be in front with that annexe. And you will have plenty of material over so get your guy to make an AFK bag and a few rope and tent peg bags. I would also get them to oversize the skirt material at the bottom of the canvas. We have been to some uneven sites where the annexe just reached. We are at Barwon Heads.
Thanks Geoff sitting in their now said to Sarah not sure we trim as sites will differ.
This is the excess down the bottom. Just pulled out and re pegged the cgear Matt have to work how better to put this down next time. If I run it against the annex wall it bunches up against the wheels.
Not sure I have much Canvas cut off it is pretty close size wise

You can fold it under along the van side.
On my last van I just ran it past the annex walls and put pegs through it.
Mentioned that new matt and Sarah does not want to put holes through it.
Next time put it down and peg out first

TV aerial is back working the cable must be on the right angle to stop the break.
Although our mains pressure water has come and gone no idea why and yes I checked the tap and hose working.
With the annex thinking of maybe adding extra height mudflats and another peg down hole.

ok almost made the parking space for the Starcraft level on the way up when she comes back. After last time out it rocked and we almost took the side of the van out. I moved the priority on the list item up
Took from one side put on the other Dug out what there was off grass, thanks for the rain made it easier
Extended the sleepers on the cement into the rock. Added another sleeper on one side to even it up.
When we cemented the backyard we only had the area for the spa made level, the rest we left with a run off around 13cms.
Love to cement it to the footpath.. Although wife is not interested. I also said lets put pavers in same..
See how the van goes when she comes back this week and if ok will get it whacked by a friend.
Might look at the Core Gravel stuff and run it down to the footpath. Maybe I will be allowed to do that.. As more removable later on.
No idea why it needs to be removable, hope she is not reading this.

So the second hand annex we got a draught skirt so that's fine
Long wall was a little long been a few little showers and some drips ok, then it poured and I found a problem the extra over the door acted like a gutter and rain came in. Pulled it out of sail track and back in line with arm got soaked though.
Pic as is now although raining
Now another problem the annex we got was from a full van so no pop top cut out, got a couple of pop top fillers and some clear plastic Matt from big green shed and Velcro. See what happens and fine tune if it works
