Seriously good setup old mate!!! Forget the 'cosmetic' appearance of some things as you put it - it looks top dollar and so long as you're happy with it, not much else matters. Plenty of space under those awnings etc considering what it packs up into!!

Here’s 2 x pics without the truck beside it.
In reality, I’ll need to put in guy ropes where the truck normally goes, for stability.
If you know the WA south coast, you’ll understand I need every guy rope you see to accommodate the blustery, windy conditions. Also, I may have to single up the tent pegs to allow for ‘flexing’, too.

Looking realy good mate,just need to practice backing in close and straight

Like it mate, good you can get it in and out "easy".
Mate you will have it set up in 20mins flat in no time. Marking stuff "dis goes wid dat" will speed thing up like you said.
Good stuff Rosco.

I used to have one of those massive old frame tents long ago....... I ended up getting lots of different coloured tape to colour code the ends of which part of the frame went with what.

Watch out there's a Poo "Yota" lurking in the shadows !

Another couple of mods........
Today, I paid for and received a Steca solar regulator, and tomorrow I'm buying a Deca Intimidator RV fully sealed Glass Matt Battery.
Wife is adamant that the solar panels aren't going on the roof. Damn!! Sooooo, I'm looking for a free standing A frame. Not happy, but will get used to it I guess.
In her defence, my neighbour used his multimeter in a trial and it definitely helps to have them angled.
Are you reading this, Jon!!!! It's nearly there.
Just had a look at a latest catalogue and my panels have been superceeded, already!!! BP now make 130w panels, not 125w. Doh.
Take care out there.
