Aw Gee, thanks everybody. Now I feel all warm and fuzzy. Looks like "Aunty Winnie" it is. I do have photos of the inside, so will post them shortly. Just wanted to get on and say thanks very much to all of you for such a warm welcome.
Cheers!
Chris

Am attaching images of inside of "Aunty Winnie". Don't know how it will turn out as I can't seem to get a preview. Forgive me if I have stuffed it up.
Well it sorta worked!! I have quite a few more but resizing them is a bit of a mission.
Cheers!

Welcome, Chris. Here is a hint to help you manage driving your big girl: get a friend with a long tape to help you measure the vehicle's height at the highest point. Write this on a bit of card and stick it behind your sun visor - or somewhere equally accessible. One day, you will come to a sign that reads something like "Low bridge ahead. Clearance 2.9metres." Take it from my experience - it is better to know your height in advance!

Thanks for that Wendyy. The Winnie is an ex hire and has a big sign on the dashboard saying "Vehicle Height 3.5 metres" I must admit low bridges scare the heck out of me, the last thing I need is a Winnie convertable.
Cheers!

Thanks Pam, when all the modifications are finished she will be a pretty good unit. We are setting her up for independent camping so I don't have to stay in caravan parks. You just can't afford to do that on a pension.
Cheers!

Unfortunately, won't make it to Gympie, still work to be done before she is ready for the road.
