Birth of My Kimberley Karavan

I really like kk trailers and I hope to see yours someday, maybe at turkey creek. Now you need to import a diesel rig?

Very nice!! It also looks bigger than i ever thought it would be from their website. Keep the photos coming so we can all live through you!

You bet. Turkey Creek is one of my favorite spots. The Karavan will definitely be visiting there often.

My wife was already talking about a viewing party. We'll come up with something to have the locals check it out if you like.

Way to go Brad. I almost went that route a couple of months back, but in the end I decided against it when Bruce sent me the quote. Crappy rate of exchange unfortunately killed the deal.

The exchange rate has been on a long climb over the last year due to the US dollar dropping on the world market. It got up to almost a 9% adder a while back but has now dropped back to about 5.5%. The joys of world currency markets.

The Brisbane Caravan and Camping show (the biggest in Australia) is on in a couple of weeks time and I'll certainly be there to ogle the merchandise. Kimberley always get a huuuge crowd and deservedly so, the Karavans are just awesome machines. Well done for biting the exchange bullet! :Wow1: Mind you, I'm currently importing lots of stuff from the USA. :sombrero:

Thanks for the local feedback on KK.

When the exchange rate flips back and forth over time I'm sure the import/export flows follow it. I just happen to be on the wrong side on this one. But in this case, it's well worth it. :elkgrin:
