Terry,

I'm wondering why Margaret drove the Prius to the testing station, and the MG didn't go on the trailer?

The Jag is on the trailer at the moment. I could have taken it off and put the MG on the trailer behind the Winnie, but time was tight.
We would have needed somewhere to store the trailer during the inspection as well, but we probably would have booked a spot in the caravan park if the plan had gone that way.
I wanted to put the Prius on the Gypsy trailer, but Margaret wanted to drive over, so that was that ....

Somewhere secure to park the trailer ;) :lol: We did overnight there so we could get our unregistered vehicle permit the next day, Christmas Eve, but they didn't show for work anyway :roll: If it wasn't for the wonderful lady at the Balranald council office, we would have been in serious strife ....

Fitted the steps without the spacer, height between steps is much better

The steps don't close yet, still requires the body panel under the step modifying .....
Think I'll get the other rego stuff finished, this caravan finally out of the yard .... and serously consider the fridge replacement, before I take that on ..... I'll take the whole door frame out to do the job, then I can either weld the bottom on myself, or get it tig welded on .....
