The piece I was the most impressed with was the bed head... we managed to recreate the rolled edge and the piping...and once the buttons were in place it looked totally professional.

There is no doubt the new curtains made a big difference ... we were so happy with them.


Then a few weeks later we got the call to say our seats were ready for collection.... we had chosen a woven charcoal coloured fabric similar to the pelmets to keep it all neutral. A local re-upholsterer did an amazing job and we couldn't have been happier.

It was ours.... and now we had the task of making it FEEL like ours.
The 'bones' were in great condition.... but it needed some updating and decking out to be livable.
So we stopped in Adelaide and purchased all the initial essentials and got some quotes to have the seats re-upholstered. There was no question that it had been looked after well...but it just didn't feel modern and we were keen to make some changes.

We thought to ourselves... perhaps down the track a Motorhome would be a great idea.
So we listed off the Pros and Cons...and began our research...we poured over the internet...scanning second hand vehicles...and travelled to view some ...both new and secondhand.

We figured this whole process would take us a year .... we knew our budget...and what we were after and we were prepared to wait.

Typical of the universe though.... only weeks into our search the perfect one popped up....


It seemed just what we were after... but it was a little too soon for us. So after much debating we decided to make the 4 hour trip to view it.

We were SMITTEN.... and pretty much knew on the spot that we wanted her.  The previous owner had had it built to specification from new and it was obvious he was sad to say goodbye. We made the decision on the spot and made our way home to finalise the transaction.

She is a Jayco Conquest...and we fondly named her Winnie.. the 'Winenbago' even though of course she isn't actually a Winebago.
