Exactly as promised by Jayco, our caravan was delivered right on-time today.

A big thank you to all at Jayco Sydney for preparing the van ready for us to pickup and the time spent showing us what did what and where everything fitted. Hopefully we’ll remember most of it but I’m sure by the time we do our first short trip there will be much time spent looking through the pile of documentation we were given. And all those keys!!

There was only one problem… we still didn’t have our tow vehicle due to delays at Land Rover. So, very kindly, the ever helpful staff at Jayco Sydney organised a move of our new van to its temporary storage location closer to home.

We are still looking for a secure undercover storage site to help protect against our big summer storms and the giant hailstones that get thrown our way every few years. A site with electricity would also be good to keep the batteries topped-up and to be able to start the fridge cooling ready for the big trip.

Finally taking delivery of the van brings the big dream that much closer to reality. But so too does the increasing list of things we need to buy for the van… and the car.
