Just
home from the big show at Queanbeyan. Plenty to see &
well
run. Didnt find any of the local EO bods...too busy looking at stuff.
Spent a fair bit of time looking for ideas to improve the Scroogemobile C/t & found some too. As a general observation, old shearer mate & I were surprised to find that many of the C/t
setups were too bloody hot inside & it was less than 25 deg here
today & cloudy. An important consideration if looking to buy, & not
related to price, the dearer ones were worse, poorly located windows & too small as
well. A couple had clear panels in the roof
& the result was excellent re light entry but negative re heat.
Startled to find the gas bottle compartment in a $30k plus slide on
had no means of securing the two bottles therein..tied together
with a bit of steel rope & a lock to prevent theft, just pathetic.
Was pleased to note the only C/t tent with provision to zip open one side & reverse the wagon up to the hole was the one used
on the Scroogemobile.Aaaah....joy.......oldbaz.
