Well, we finally get to test out the new camper trailer, pity we're not going anywhere. LOL...
We're doing some work to the house, so we thought we'd sleep in the camper for a week or so.
It's sorta like
camping (the girls think it's great... They get to use their
camping bunk beds), and we've even got the noisy neighbours with their music playing a bit loud, the occasional dog barking, and the feeling of being outdoors (albeit only in the backyard), just makes me want to go
camping for real...
Cheers, Brad

Reminds me of when my parents were renovating... They had the
camp shower set up in the shed while they were doing the bathroom... Where would we be without our
camping gear, eh?

we did it on the odd occassion, but the next day we would pack up and just go anyway!!
we also had sleep outs in the lounge room on the new inflateable matress to test her out!
its better than nothing....we got hte idea off the people who lived a couple of houses down the road...they camped out in the caravan for a month to see if they could do it......
have fun!!

I wish we could just pack up & go tomorrow, but unfortunately, work & other commitments say otherwise... Plus, we're not going away anywhere this year, as we're going to
Cape York next year...

I'll be there Friday night, ok mate? LOL
I like my eggs cooked proper, while the missus likes them taken off pretty much as soon as they hit the hot plate (YUK!!)
Will have to catch up for a few drinks soon

Yep, know exactly what u mean about hanging out to use it for its' maiden voyage... We would've had to wait till July next year to use ours...
The good thing about this, is that we get to see how comfortable the mattress is & how much room we'll have with the girls bunk beds & the boys porta cot...
P.S. The missus is sacked as being the spirit level... I'm going to have to adjust the trailer tomorrow. LOL
Cheers, Brad
