Just about ready to head off. Any last suggestions.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Mmmm, let me see now confuse

Wallet and Purse. Munchies for that BBQ. Some vegie's and salad stuff if you must. With the vegie's, I steam some mixed fresh vegie's and pumpkin then crush it all together, not mash, sort of a rough mash. I then put in zip lock bags and flatten and freeze, takes up less room. All that is needed is heat in some boiling water or heat up in a dry frypan, just like the good old bubble and squeek. Easy peasy.

Probably the most important thing is, well, happy hour comes to mind smile

Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Edit...Not sure why when or how but I seem to have not welcomed you so, welcome to the gang, enjoy here and out in the playground.

Have a happy & safe trip. Take it easy & keep warm.

After a couple of nights camping in the bush, you'll find out what you brought an excess of & what you really needed. If there is anything, you can pick it up in the next town.

Dazzalyn happy travels ahead, I would say you have pretty much covered all the needs you may require, well done. Some say dont look back, for me its important to look back it gives me every reason to smile as I look forward. I'm glad you have the wasp spray on hand, its never far from my door lol...with a smile Kisha.

Happy travels Dazzalyn, Just one thing that I might suggest............

DON'T FORGET YOU'RE NUTS, Wheel nuts that is, at the end of your first days travel, have a quick look at the wheel nuts on your Caravan, give them a check and just make sure they are still tight, nuts have been known to come loose with movement, so a quick glance with a spanner might save a bit of trouble further down the road.

We all hope you have a great trip, take it slow and easy , see all you can see, It's a heck of a big country out there, enjoy.

Talking wheel nuts.

EVERY time you stop.
Walk round the rig. Hand on every wheel tyre and hub.
Tyres for temp's IE pressures

Hot too soft warmish, fine.

Hubs. for bearings and brakes.
Either wrong. You'll pull away quick.

A good thing to buy is a Laser Temp Hand gun.
Around $35ish.
Point at spot you want and shoot.
It'll read temp's for you.

Google wheel\tyre temp.s. It'll give you the average readings you need.

And when taking off. quick shufty at hitch. Cables and chains.
The first to be disconnected and just sitting there.
WON'T be the last.

Specially in truck stops. Some don't like us.

Happened to us last trip up coming through NSW.

Thanks everyone. Off and running tomorrow am. Van all but packed. Both of us have colds. ewwww. lol. Did the insurance, thanks Tony and Bev Would put it in here Danny and Rosina . Not sure how I do that in here. Have done the trip 3 times in different programs. Caravancaravan.com.au , n wikicamps, n excel spreadsheet. So unless I can do it without thinking that would be great. Sticking with wikicamps at this point. will work the bugs out as I go I guess. :D

Thanks heaps for your help and as I am not shy I may be saying hi to you on the road. never know.

We're heading off tomorrow too, have fun if we see you in the next couple of weeks I might run in the opposite direction... No offence, but having had pheumonia 7 times I try to avoid getting colds at all costs.
