Caravan upgrades

The caravan has had its first service by Kye from Quality Caravan Repairs (0428 897 746).  He's a really great guy and his children go to the same school in Pinjarra that Paige went to before she was registered at Byford.  Both Paige and Charlie will be at the same school this year because Beth and Andrew are building in Byford.  When they move out of the rental they're coming here while their house is finished off.

The reason they're moving to Byford is so that the Hospital in the Home Service, who don't go to Pinjarra, can go to their house instead of ours.   As it is now once she's stable in PMH she comes here and the treatment carries on here.


We've had solar panels fitted to the roof of the caravan.  We should be totally self sufficient now and will be able to do more free camping because we have an extra 49ltr tank for water and another one for diesel.  We always have lots of drinking water which we've never run out of but I panic if we don't have enough to flush the toilet.

Steve went to BBQs Galore last week to fill the 9kgs gas bottle.  They've increased the price from $19.95 to $29.95 so he went to BCF and it was $19.95.

After speaking with a guy when we were away last time Steve went to a place in Osborne Park and bought a new digital satellite finder as the one we had was more trouble than it was worth.  The new one is brilliant and he's got it all wired up and fixed the dish to the same mounting as the spare wheel at the back of the caravan.  It looks really good but it does cover up some of the address for CFWA but this may encourage people to do a search on it.  Once they get into the site who knows what they might find.
