Thanks Mark. Yes the Carapark "Superb" model do look like a large toaster. Just when I seem to finish a major project another one finds me. I will share a caravan story. Back in the early 80s I was heading north on holidays 20ks south of Taree in my Fiat 124 sports following a 560 sec Mercedes and approaching a narrow bridge on the hwy when an on coming car and 20' caravan, braked heavily and the van stepped out into the oncoming lane about 1m with no where to go on a bridge. Well my little Fiat had good 4 wheel disc brakes and I made a great emergency stop from 100kph in about 12m. Unfortunately the Mercedes in front made a better stop in about 8m and I stove into his boot. I still came see that Mercedes boot badge coming straight for me. My car was totalled. The Mercedes had a bent boot lid and bumper and was able to continue and the #@%%! van driver just kept driving oblivious to what he caused. That's why I have never warmed to caravans until now.
