Just be very aware and careful of the wind gusts in NSW at present . I came through a cutting doing 80 kph and the side wind near tipped our 6 ton motorhome over .

Picked up the new 20ft Jayco Conquest and was taking a big chance on buying it over the Internet, but overall am happy with it. I have some things to learn like how to get the Thetford toilet to flush after emptying it (not sure where to put fresh water) Also not sure on how to get the gas hot water to operate,...
