Shakedown Trip in the Rockwood UltraLite

Nearly 4 months after taking delivery of our new Rockwood UltaLite 2622RK 5th wheeler, its time to go camping. The Evergreen Ultima 27RK 5th wheeler has served us well for over 10 years. It has now been sold and payment has been made. We have to deliver it to Sorell in Southern Tasmania soon, hopefully before Christmas.

We are spending the weekend at the Deloraine Pony Club, which is part of the showground. All went very well, even though we have one 190w solar panel. This is inadequate as we have a 12v fridge, luckily with 400ah lithium batteries that have been swapped over from the previous 5th wheeler. Lots of backup power, however extra solar will need to be added very quickly.

Plenty of room and some fine weather, a little overcast but no rain all weekend

We had a great weekend with a few friends, the van performed faultlessly, some fine tuning of where everything is stored and hopefully many happy years of happy camping.

We did drive on a temporary registration permit, hopefully we will have it all complied and registered before our next trip over the new year
