 biggrin.gifsmile.gif biggrin.gif Great excitement in the Gnome cave today.Notification that the B&B Unit will be delivered on Thursday. Should begin the adventure in about two weeks,after collecting the van from Hexam (near Newcastle) then back home to sort out the rego.&  installation of the monitor in the truck,for the van reversing camera. Plus whatever else needs sorting.No real plans, just north to escape the rest of the A.C.T. winter.(sorry Basil)

You won't be sorry about the canopy Gnome. Did you get the sliding window variety or the lift up windows?  We got the lift up style gives a bit more access to the back of the tray. The only thing we have found with ours is that the locks can be a bit dicky from time to time.  Money well spent in our opinion.
