Our car is a 2001 Toyota Prado, 4 cylinder turbo diesel inter cooled (I was told by Les to add all that )
Our van is a 2012 19ft 6" Island Star Opal, with Solar and battery back ups, even has an outside shower And reversing camera. Picking this up next week.

Very nice Grams and Poppy, the two gas bottles will come in handy, if one runs out just change them over.
I had one of those plastic coated cables and a good padlock on mine, threaded through the flat frame bar and the top of the cylinders to help prevent theft. Won't stop the bolt cutter thief but will opportunists. A near neighbour of mine had his stolen from the front of his van from under his carport at home, rotten mongrels.....
Thank you. Pick up is this Wednesday. We will be there a few hours as they are installing electric brakes, Anderson plug and the reversing camera screen into our Prado. Then they are taking us through the van to show us how everything works.
I am taking the kettle, etc so we can pull up and try it out along the way, as its a 3hr trip home. We are counting down the hours
Very nice indeed, I wouldn't get rid of the grey one in a hurry, maybe store it under the bed to throw over the other one when parked in dusty or muddy places, things can get a bit grubby out on the road and not always possible to keep things clean......
Good thinking, the black one should fit in well with the colour scheme you've got.
Regards adding pics, when you edit, you won't see the other ones you've posted, only the post text, but they are still there, so next time just upload the new added ones and they should all show when you submit the post again.
I submitted my post with the new pictures added when editing the original post and only the original picture was there, I did it again and still only the original one picture remained. So I have no idea what happened. But at least now I have added the ones I wanted, but I know how to do it, so hopefully it will be easier.
I think the Gremlins have a bit of fun with us all sometimes, although I did hear a whisper that it was really Wombat up to no good, at least that's what Dougwe told me...

I got it from Kmart. It is a lovely cream cotton and the red flowers are satin appliqué I think it cost about $59.
