Mrs Kiwi-as here. We plan to be at Gympie in May so will see you there Happy Wanderer
Mr.Kiwi back, bit the bullet yesterday and got Clearview mirrors. After reading the posts earlier on the subject, took all the advise on board . Cargo barrier and rear wheel carrier being installed along with a service early March. Just got to install rear view camera and exterior aerial for Telstra phone . Probably get those done as we are out vanning.

You are doing well Kiwi-As. Won't be long and you will be out there trying to decide which way to turn that wheel when you hit the highway. Hope to see you at Gympie in May.

Kiwi-As and Mrs Kiwi-As, enjoy your travels, I'm sure you will, and stay safe.
Suggest you get a good rear vision/reversing camera not just a reversing camera, here's the one I have
That is the same as ours Womby. Wiring and camera were installed at factory . I have to wire the cruiser.

Did not make it away today, awning was not finished yesterday, and caravan yard rang this morning it was finished. Admittedly I had asked for some last minute changes. Parked the van in by the buildings last night night and a wire from the Anderson Plug pulled out, had not been crimped properly at the factory in Melbourne. So took van back today and now all fixed. Started stocking it this afternoon, so will be off tomorrow for a shake down trip up Sunshine Coast, and then a few days crabbing at Wivenhoe Dam. Adventure Caravans have their own graphic vinyl Machine, so we now have a beutifull sticker on the back.What UHF numbers should I put on?

We have UHF 40.
Tried UHF 18, which is supposed to be the caravan chanel but there was never anyone with their ears on so subsequently no information or even a chat so have decided to stay with 40.
At least with 40 you can get all the road information from the trucks or other vehicles using the same chanel.
We do switch to 29 when we are North of Newcastle NSW as this is the truck chanel for that area.
