Yes this weekend.. Just chatting to Sarah do we come home on Saturday not Monday he he
We had discussed coming home Sunday as school starts Tuesday to give kids extra day to recover.
I said we could do GC to Melb easy three days.
Although might be expensive coming home early looking at annexes

Dave, the annexe companies normally match show prices well after the sale. I think it is easier buying them away from the show because the sales reps are normally way to busy.
We went with Alpine this time as they came to our house to do the measure up and pre fit. Must say after yesterday's massive storm, I am very happy with it.

@macca Yeah I know not sure what type or style hence easier to look.
Thinking of maybe getting one of shade cloth style made. We got the long wall sail track fixed while up here. Had a chat to Aussie traveller regrading putting a canvas wedge up the top of end walls so can put into AFK. With outback 2.7m high means hard to buy off shelf.
Although been checking out setups at the caravan park a couple of people have shade annexes which they drop a tarp down if wet with dual sail track in awning.
So want to look and price.

Yes Joe from Alpine was great when we chatted to him still not 100% sold on full annex. Adds a extra room although we loose our view :)
We would then end up with a 3x3 Gazebo as well like every one else :)

We also basically decided home Sunday so if we get home Saturday instead I can go:)

@davemc ... We got an Australiawide annex for ours. Standard with the ability to have all solid, part solid with screen or fully open sections... Even 2 x openings/doors on the front and rear walls.....

Don't loose too much of the view and have the option to close it up fully if that four lettered word "RAIN" shows it's ugly head!!!!!!!!
Pics tell a better story....

We're off tomorrow morning, got onto a competition from Alko, and won a free ticket as well as an experience in a car on the race track to experience the Alko Esc driven through a swerve simulation by a professional driver.

@davemc Took me about 40 minutes the day the pics were taken (First setup)... And setup was between pics and drinks ;)

Second time took 25 minutes on my own. I reckon I could get it down to 20 after a few more goes!!!!
