You mean young Brian and Ruby? Brian will get a laugh when he sees the "loosing weight bit :lol:

You can see my baby is getting close to delivery time as well (the grey hump in the fore ground) :lol:

Terry, have you had a scan to check that it's not something sinister?

It might have taken me 4 hrs and it being well and truly dark by the time I'd finished, the passenger side awning tarp thingy is threaded in the sail track. Only took 3 failed attempts and take it out and start again, but the 4th attempt was a success. Tomorrow I can assemble the roller drum and thread that end of the awning into it, then figure out how to put the upper part for the awning arms on to the Winnie. I'll have to shape a piece of 3mm aluminium to go under the mounting thingy to spread the load onto the square section frame under the roof.

Terry, never know what you are going to come out or up with these days. Half the time I shake my head and say out aloud "what the hell is he on about" too tech for me M8.

Finished putting the 18ft awning up on the passenger side, still have to figure out what I didn't quite understand in the Chinglish instructions because it doesn't wind itself back up .... they say it is pretensioned, but it seems to be for it to deploy itself, not wind itself up :roll: :lol:
Tomorrow is another day ... if it isn't then a 'Con the fruiter' says "doesn matta" 8-)
