image.jpg First attempt at packing the pizza maker, oven, breadmaker and actifryer into our 4 tubs we are using to take our stuff to Melbourne in. All I got to put in now is our clothes and that's it! (Not doing attempt 2, as I'm sure it won't go in as nicely as this.)

I turned the fridge on in my van........................................................... to show the son in law, then fitted a fridge fan set up the same into his Swan luckily I didn't have to build baffles the previous owner had already done it, as well as the old expanda foam in the gaps. Since my fridge is running may as well do some fishing at Somerset Dam for a day or two....mmmmmmmmmm.

Yeh, picked it up from ARV in Eden yesterday. 2 nights at Easts Moruya Heads and home to Bathurst tomorrow.

We called into ARV back just after Easter while staying at Tathra, to check out the Concept, he didn't have a bunk model in stock but went through all the specs for it even rang the factory to confirm stuff, turned out to be a bit heavy in ball weight for the PJ as it was 21 ft nice vans and great service from ARV.

Really nice people and good to deal with. Made us feel like we'd struck a new friendship.
How's your new one progressing? Are you going to the Bay at Christmas?

No word on ours waiting on dealer to get back to me with a build slot time frame (which I was expecting Friday but didn't happen)
We go to The Bay mid January, depends if we still have a van either new or old.
