[QUOTE=humdingerslammer;1150427]OTT, I think [/QUOT

[hunty]

We finally got away (from Sydney that is)

and decided to head down the coast - great scenery hardly any traffic! found a great trail (power line) near Jervis bay
went to pull on the useless handbrake to signify the fact that we had arrived at our camping spot and thought whats the point it never works anyway! LoL

Popped open our roof top tent for the first time (snapped off the attached pic - even b4 opening it fully LoL)
threw up the computer, bigpond modem, digital TV, digital boost antena, the missus and dinner then climbed up and settled in for what I thought would be an excellent nights sleep friggin rained nearly all night long which was OK because the tent is well water proof! but then cam the cyclonic wind - thought it was going to blow us over LoL - it was 11deg C last night but the tent was nice and warm - Im 6'4 and had plenty of length, the missus was happy about that too LoL - all in all it was a good nights sleep!

Headed off to Narooma this morning........

Done the cape. You wont need to carry extra fuel... there is plenty available... fill up at appropriate intervals. Perhaps a spare jerry can if you are going off the beaten track. Your vehicle will do it in standard trim. If you haven't got a winch (not necessary) at least take a snatch strap and shackles for it. Other than that you are already well prepared. Cheers.

Hunty how is the prep going? Were you selling the RTT for something else?
