Just spoke to Gary's housemate, who says he is home, but very weak, and spends most of his time in bed. I passed on good wishes from ourselves and others who know him through the forum, as well as a man from the US who has been reading Gary's blog for about 10 years. Hoping he improves quickly.

Jayco has released a new fifth wheeler. 22 feet long. At approx. $75,000 plus the hitch. Considering what I have been looking at are in the $130,000 plus region, that's not a bad deal. But I don't know where I can see one.

Packed up ready to come home after a maiden trip away. All was good, a few tweaks here and there and will be perfect. Spent a weekend @ Bestbrook near Warwick, Qld. Very impressed with the Dmax's towing power & economy, we averaged around the 11/100 kms. Cheers Dave
