    Don't worry, as soon as I get time, I'll get some up to date pics, and post them.

    One of my young blokes did some more work on it a few days ago and I had some more toys put in, including a 3rd battery and a 12v kettle.

    Thanks for the interest.

    Take care out there.

    I was very humble when I first started camping.


    Beach camping. Solar Panels are now on the roof, and the awning is set up on the left hand side of the pod. The first metre is PVC for showering. Apparently canvas and soap aren’t good friends.


    Early day creature comforts. Lol


    A few more glamping luxuries…..in the early days. The double bed, high density foam, fits snugly below the mossie net and fridge.


    Then I graduated. Had the annex and awning made up in Katanning. Not the best pic but works a treat with plenty of room. Lol












    The living room


    Drive in – Drive out. Left hand side of truck fits neatly into position on r/h side of tent in pic.


    Back door into living area from under the 5m awning that spans across the back of the truck and annex.


    The ‘skirting’ that clips into press studs, leading to the bedroom.

    Vents in the ‘bathroom’


    The new home for the fridge – in the bathroom. It kicks in and out all night, and is a distraction. lol


    Dunno why I bought the Max Trax, because I never use them. Actually I did. To get the wife’s Commodore out of sandy soil. Lol


    Recovery Gear….Front, rated recovery points


    Rear rated recovery point

    Looks like some sort of modified dodgy sex swing to me... maybe it was supposed to be spelt "BRIDAL"
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
