Over Easter will be our packing time for the camper after we possibly go for one last camp.

with only 52 days till I depart and with working away during the week, I need to get the most out of my weekends. The wet weather isn't helping either.

Loads of time, with 52 days, I am now on the countdown T-30Days until we are on the boat.

Prado went in for check, all good. Next Thursday to get A/C re-gassed.

I've worked it out on the list, I will have the oldest Prado there. Possibly with the highest mileage as well.

252K km's young she is for an '04!

You're doing well. I'll be lucky if I'm finished packing and prepping the day before I leave.

Did you make sure to have your return booking FROM Melbourne!

Yes we have already done that. Didn't want to get caught like someone we know!

Me personally, yes. But with 3 SWMBO's - need to get ducks in order first! Camper over Easter, finish re-arranging Prado.

Small shopping list....

I've done it in 2.1M carparks before, so I can't see too much difference. Though that was before the 270/65 tyres went on!

Though in re-reading the Spirit Ticket, it is listing the CARAVAN as being that height.

Talk about taking it to the limit.

It looks like if I drop my tyre pressure down and remove the MaxTrax holders, I will *JUST* squeek under the 2.1M restriction.

So basically 1 month to go for you. Do you think you will get everything packed in time?

Have you taken the roofrack of yet so you can get on the boat?

I've got it in for a pre-trip service today, off to the Tasmanian Rally Championship Round One this weekend. Next weekend is Oil and Filter, re-packing the Prado - and last minute things there.

Packing will be over Easter down at the Shack.

Time is starting to count down in a big way.

Yes, it's a modified Rosco's Big Al1.

That looks like the Roscos' canopy there Dave? Interested to hear about that one compared to the (many) other options...

[VKPrado]

Well today we officially started to pack by unpacking the camper to sort out what we do and don't need to take with us.

Time is starting to count down in a big way.

Lookin good Dave!
