Yah Hoo folks here she is picked up this morning and have her in the drive. Roxy is putting all the goods and chattels in her and we hope to get a shakedown trip down towards the end of the month but, I have a lot of stuff to do prior so I am off the computer and into it. will get more pics posted when I can. Just a quick snappy one of the rig before departure from the dealer this morning.
Well, well, well, how posh! Congrats, Garry with two.

I wanted to get the bigger Retreat Hamilton but I had to settle for the Keppel because of the weight restrictions The Keppel has a Tare of around 2000kg and loaded will come within my 2500kg limitation. I still love the Keppel but I would have liked a bit more floor space that the bigger provided.... we had a Jayco Expanda until a couple of weeks ago... Sold it in readiness for the new toy.
