Somewhere between Tacoma, USA & Port of Fremantle, thieves attempted to get in Truck Camper, luckily unsuccessful, but slight damage to lock, still works though.
Had to manual crank Camper at Port, no power, had drills, but new drill bit in Camper & needed Locksmith. Two sons are Locksmiths, so opened Eagle Cap at home on front driveway, Wife very Happy, with Sofa and very large floor space, great dry bath and my Garage, double door storeroom underneath at rear.
Will post more shots tomorrow, when suns up.
Now 12.35pm, been up since 6am, but awake from 4.30am.
Started 110 to 240v conversion. Will install WFCO 220v Converter tomorrow, change power points, convert gas to Australian Compliance fittings, etc.

Loaded & ready to go, paperwork checked.

2012 Ram 3500HD with SuperSprings 6000+, Rear Helliwig Big Wig & Front Timbrens,
with 2013 Eagle Cap 1160 drove home like a dream, up Canning Highway to home stepped down 4th and just sat on the suburban speed limit of 35mph/60kph, like a dream, am very pleased.
Camper sitting great on Truck with SuperSprings 6000+ Commercial, still sitting
1 inch higher at rear, with tape measure, despite all the weight.
I thought Truck handled Eagle Cap 1160 better, soother than Adventurer 910fbs, 900lbs lighter and I had a half Pallet of parts including a Torklift SuperHitch, 48 inch extension, and 6-8 other boxes of heavy metal stuff.
Manual Cranking, constantly going around in circles doing 9-10 cranks per leg and then down again on to Truck bed.
Not going to proof read, exhausted, Good Night.
Very tired, Cheers.
