It's looking good, Bill, and I notice you also have a tool box under the tray hopefully with a twin on the other side. You're a clever man.

Back at Maggie, after a quick trip home. Fuel is getting to be a bit of a problem as I usually do a lot of klms. Othrwise the car , camper and boat went well.
It costs me $281 to get to the mainland, so that and the cost of fuel is getting expensive.But like I said , everything is going great. Next trip Feb next year. Bill
