Hi Toby,
Thanks for posting and for the pics of your rig - looks good
Looks like you had a good Sunday as well - did you get the same thunderstorms as we did on Saturday over at Eastnor? That would have been a good test of your roof seals
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: North Wales Aug 2012
We arrived on Thursday in overcast weather. Friday morning was okay, then it lashed it down in the afternoon. saturday was sunny/overcast, then Sunday was gorgeous! The roof was fine actually. It leaks in over the tops of the driver and passenger doors. They could be the next project. Rather fancy some Series doors with proper sliding windows and at least 2 inches more knee room. Eastnor is a delightful place to stay, but don't fancy thunder storms!

Looks like a good set up I've just purchased an oz tent myself, also got the side panels and a fly sheet. I got it secondhand and it's only been used twice by an elderly couple. Saved myself $750.00
How was yours in the rain ??

It was great Jerry. We bought the tent complete with awning joining extra on eBay (a rare find) and the side panels and 'floor saver' (extra groundsheet for under the tent and a floor within the side panels) new. Not a single drop of rain came in and we were impressed with the quality. We had a bit of wind as well, but thanks to the heavy fabric all was quiet within. I really enjoy sleeping in the Carawagon, but with two of us it putting the bed up and down means one of us has to stand outside. This combo has made life much easier and we'll hang on to it.
