This is the one I am leaning toward, it can be left open all the time. Just check the price compared to here.

Is there a reason why you are looking for one with a fan? it is a nice to have but not essential for a gas cert.

Craig,

No fan is not really essential but would be handy in the rare event the bride cooks inside.....Lol. Apart from that on a hot day to extract air or pull it in. Being able to leave it open in the wet is the main factor, good sized opening going on the dimensions.

Dot,

I Have talked with PPL previously and they were happy to post to Australia at that stage, some time ago. Remember the electric sun visors....(you sussed out a place in SA for me but the package was oversize for their US freighter, length wise, so they couldn't do it. Maybe they have changed their ways these days. I didn't intend getting it from them anyhow just using the description /photo to show people what I was considering. Just to lazy to go into ebay for the actual dealer I am waiting on for a reply to freight costs. Can get it here in Oz if all else fails but a lot dearer, I think.

Hi Terry, if you want one, I use a shipping agent in California. you have the item shipped to the Cal address and they then send you photo's of the item so you know what it is, send you three or more options to onship to your home address. The standard charge is US$8 per item or if you ship a lot of items there are other rates. PM if you want further details.

Got a reply back from another US ebay'er despite in their add saying they ship worldwide, (including Australia) due to previous problems with the "US postal service", which is way worse than ours if you can believe it, and delays up to 8 weeks they no longer ship out of the US. You would think they could update their add wouldn't you. Can get one here in Oz from a M/H dealer but its bloody expensive compared to the US. Guess it all depends on if I get desperate enough.

Maybe we should do a combined order, but then double handling once it hits Aust shores would probably reduce any benefit.

Terry,

Thinking the same myself. That set up mentioned by Tiger sounds appealing. Guess it all depends on the time involved.

Getting stuff couriered around here in Oz is of the planet. Recently bought 2 BBQ trolleys to use as the outdoor kitchen in flat pack form, brilliant quality (Kleen Maid) from an ebay'er on the central coast. Each weighted around the 28kg or so mark. No end of trouble getting a courier as the seller wasn't a company, most couriers won't pick up unless you have an account or are a business. This from couriers advertising on ebay. Talk about a monopoly situation. Eventually found a courier, delivery between 2 and 7 days ????. We are on the Pacific Highway, Coffs Harbour for gods sake not out in the mulga somewhere. Eventually had to settle on the slow courier, $105 but did arrive in a couple of days. For me to go down and pick up my self, 10 hours return trip, maybe a little less on a good day and around the $150 mark in fuel. Last time I tried to arrange a courier myself, (one of the bigger couriers) was told to go through your local courier agent.... now that was going to be bloody expensive, to many finger in the pie, and just not worth the effort. This courier stuff is getting well and truly out of hand and is being concentrated into the hands of a few companies.
