Ah! The excitement of new beginnings. My wife and I are in the first stages of becoming caravan vagabonds. I never knew there could be so many decisions just to choose the trailer we'll call home for the next who-knows how long. We've set our eyes on the Grand Salute Royal Guard Series II.

We ran into a guy a few days ago with a 20ft Patriot caravan towed by a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser. The caravan had a few dents & scratches on it despite it being relatively new.

I purchased a telescopic builders pole from Bunnings and have been able to raise the roof unassisted, for the first time. Now I just need to work on how to get it down. I'm armed with parrot type clips and a length of rope. J. -- Edited by Jamjar on Sunday 6th of December 2015 04:12:09 PM
