 KOKERBIN ROCK

Well along comes a long weekend so that's a great chance to test the gear before the big trip We only took the rooftop tent as we know the caravan works for us But where to go Marion has found a spot called Kokerbin rock near Bruce rock WA Well it turns out to be a great little spot for a weekender flushing toilets and water available and all for free It is the third largest monolith in Australia after Mount Augustus (largest) and much to most peoples surprise Uluru (second) All went well the equipment performed well power lasted Friday night though till Monday morning with only a half hour idle of the engine The solar panel had been lent from me by my daughter for her holiday to Karinjini that made a great opportunity to test the battery set up on a weekend without it The only thing that failed was the dometic portable toilet which leaked flushing water  thankfully it did not leak the other tank!! It has been returned to the shop pending replacement from the manufacturer I hope!!











This week I have also made a new polycarbonate stone protector for the back window the old pajero one too thick to bend round the curve of the land cruiser window One millimetre thick polycarbonate purchased from Masters hardware is used this is  easily cut with tin snips 3m dual lock Velcro purchased from eBay to attach to the window and stick on furniture felts to act as spacers from the window looks like it will work great
 The caravan is also polished while the weather holds no rain this weekend we are almost ready 4 weeks to go
