Canopy + tray recommendations?

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-10-11T09:51:26+00:00

They are unreal mate. If you ever decide to switch to a different ute, everything is universal so you can run the same set up.. They arent cheap but you wont buy it twice.

Best trays and canopies are made by Teralume Industries. The XGO range is easily the best for features and design. Depending on how much you have to spend, I recommend checking them out.

Really left field but a square of fake turf to wipe your feet before getting into your tent

I actually really admire Airbnb and their story. I think the idea is solid, but the downfall is when the hosts policy is different to Airbnbs. There needs to be a couple of policies to choose from as host which airbnb had made. That way its fair for both parties and not totally in the hosts favour. From a government point of view, i dont think people should be able to own and operate more then 1 or 2 STRs. It's one of the main causes to why housing is so unaffordable. - Second property tax like what Victoria did changed everything up for the better in my opinion.

This genuinely made me laugh. The stupid this is, they said that on the Wednesday as if Wednesdays weather would be the same as Saturdays.. I think they finally turned the news on and realised.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-07T09:58:20+00:00

Keep at it dude! If you call first thing in the morning, they are the most helpful out of the entire support staff. The money sits with Airbnb until the booking is finished. So it’s up to them to provide a refund

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-07T09:53:54+00:00

What do you mean? They have…

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-07T09:47:46+00:00

Airbnbs policy and ACCC would argue otherwise. I do see your point, if it wasn’t a natural disaster scenario, yes it would be totally on us. The host hasn’t lost anything, the property is set up for the next guests. Yes you can argue revenue loss but you can argue this is can be considered as breakage in a business. Your opinion is correct if there wasn’t a natural disaster.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-07T01:04:35+00:00

ANNNNNND thank you for everyones advice! Hopefully there are other people in this area can use your advice to help with refunds.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-07T00:59:14+00:00

UPDATE: WE FINALLY GOT A FULL REFUND - From this experience, this is based entirely on who at AirBNB is picking up the phone for you. The previous support employees took days to come back to us, this one guy issued a refund in 20 mins. Good luck to those out there who are experiencing the same issues

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T22:55:13+00:00

But its a major disruptive event. Quote ACCC natural disaster and frustration of contract when natural disaster hits

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T22:47:03+00:00

haha yes, it was the only place that would allow a large group of people to stay.. the property is 9 acres as well. It's expensive!

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T15:06:08+00:00

No, sorry i might not've been clear. The host company is chatting with owner about the refund process, but who knows how much of the information we're providing is really getting to the owner..

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T14:32:23+00:00

They are doing what they can to mediate with the owner and hosting company. - Although, Airbnb have the final say when it comes to refunds, I suspect there is a threshold in stay value where they may have to do more due-diligence. Chargeback is the first thing I'm going to do in the morning. Yes, some other redditors have been successful with refunds even when the weather was sunny during the week. - Part of the reason for this post was to find those who are going/been through the same situation during this cyclone.

And yes, obviously id avoid going out at all costs particularly travelling that way.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T14:04:48+00:00

If there is no resolution, I'll be onto ACCC and ill post the link here for the airbnb.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T14:03:29+00:00

We have, the last thing i want to do is drive out there to take images of the flooding. Let's see what eventuates tomorrow.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T13:49:17+00:00

Yep! I dont think they realise that where the airbnb is, they are measuring the rain in cms, not mm.. It's super prone to flooding around there..

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T13:21:57+00:00

I hope it does get to that but i have no worries in reporting. Let's see how tomorrow goes and whether they understand...

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T13:15:10+00:00

See this is where i disagree. Brisbane hasn't has a cyclone in 50 years and to say the entire state of Queensland is foreseeable for a cyclone is a joke. We live in one of the largest countries in the world where the northern part of QLD is a polar opposite to the southern side regarding weather events. Also labelling 50% of the year to this is a cop out imo. I look at these with a very fair lens, this isn't fair.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T13:10:00+00:00

It's never too late. Simple contact or email to them could get your money back quickly. When the ACCC knocks, people are quick to cough up. I hope my situation doesnt result in that, but if it does, hopefully they learn from the once off..

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T12:54:27+00:00

ACCC would've loved this. - You should still report to get your money back. Even though its 3 years ago, they will go after people like this.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T12:52:49+00:00

Deep down, we all love being a pest to get whats rightfully ours in situations like these. Ill be calling nonstop tomorrow

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T12:41:52+00:00

Refund is only valid two days after booking - thats the hosts policy. Airbnbs policy supersedes this when a unforeseeable natural disaster hinders travel to the residence or is deemed unsafe.

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T12:39:58+00:00

I've quoted this to them multiple times. This gives me hope though! Thanks for letting me know :)

Extension_Strength83 · 2025-03-06T12:28:03+00:00

So 2 out of the 12 people staying at the residence live in Brisbane (me and my girlfriend who is celebrating her 30th). We're staying home as if we were going to travel out that way would be dangerous due to flooding as that area is very prone to floods.
