Hi Paul/Tom,

We took delivery of our Pilbara camper last September and we've had plenty of use out of it already.

We've been down south a couple of times and stayed a couple of nights, just in caravan parks to get the feel of things. I had  set it up on the front lawn at home, but the first set-up on a trip away we did in the dark, and in the rain. It was great to be able to pull out the awning first, and then we were able to work under it to put the poles up, and still stay dry. I got a little wet pulling the bed out and getting it organised, while the wife stayed dry under the awning and held the torch for me. Great Help!! It was great to be able to have it up so quickly, and then all the rest of the work was inside out of the rain. All our gear was dry and so was the inside of the tent etc. I was very grateful, as I imagined how the night would have been in our old wind-up camper. I would have had to stack all our gear outside before being able to get the awning out, and wind it up, all the while getting wet, and probably have gotten wetter pulling all the poles out under the bed section (all outside)That was our first use of the camper and already I was really stoked with my investment.  Our two week holiday up north, we did two one night stops and the first night I timed our set-up. It was only about 25 minutes all up.  The last night of the holiday we were going to drive straight home but with 400 k's to go we decided to stop at 6:00pm. We had just enough time to get set-up before dark, and I remember we had dinner, dishes, and the kids were in bed, and the wife and I were having a night cap, all by 7:00pm. I was stoked with it.

We are planning another two week trip in March/April, and are thinking about doing the Nullabor, and really looking forward to it.

Our thanks again.

Chris & Michelle
