For some reason they only put them on the rear bed ends @Marv_mart .... We only had one on the rear and none on the front so fitted an extra one on the rear to help keep it fully closed and one on the front (Only because I had a close call when parked on the sloping drive and fitting the bed end covers :o )

From memory $52 or $57 each and they wanted extra for the catches..... Told them not to worry, will find something else, so they through the catches in :)

yeah, Im thinking thats about right - first guy I spoke too didn't know **** from clay
2nd guy was like - "oh these....??" you need the catch as well
I dont think they were $50 though, I would have balked at that price......

After a days fishing (and with my "catching" luck) it's pizza on the weber tonight. Always have a backup plan ;)

But it was good to just get out there and float around in the fresh air :) .... Looks like the deckie had enough fresh air as well..

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.
With Wivenhoe, thats some big thumping piece of water there. Do you get fresh water crays up in Joe Land

Yeah, forgot about that post, did see it at the time but since I only have a front BE, didn't do anything back then but will consider next time I get van out of storage for our next trip. Been a bit busy with family stuff ATM so no trips planned til Jan/Feb. :(

Hey Cruiser...... Small world. I've just got back from 5 days at Frys Hut. Great spot, awesome weather. Will definitely being heading back there soon.

I was blown away by how many people were up there on a "non" long weekend. Over at Fry's there was a group of about 40 Australian Off-road Campers on a get together weekend ... Bit of cash in that camp!

Hey @D4Dazz I actually saw your Expanda (I presume) over at Frys on the rhs as you drive in. We walked over there on Sunday morning from Sheepyard.

5 of us plus a few kids and 2 dogs did the walk, my dog was the light brown Kelpie. I actually said to my brother "I wonder if there on the forum?" Haha, little did I know :D

As for the AOR group I'd hate to add up the $$$ there. The red 100 series camped just near you was someone else I knew too from the "My Swag" forum. ;)

As you said small world hey :thumb:
