After moving to Mt Barker 4 months ago, finally got my shed built with a caravan carport attached. It has a dedicated 15 amp GPO, 2 clear skylights to trickle charge the solar all day long. The door is facing the house, up a couple of steps, so loading is straightforward from the laundry. Cheers Bob ...

We have a new 8 year old tug now replacing our ever reliable super good off road Nov 1996 build 80 Series DX Toyota Land cruiser vehicle which had a major engine failure at 402,000k. The Discovery 4 SE is 2011 build and has so far towed superbly and is of course a dream to drive.
