Ian,
Maybe that's what you need, two ponies and a dray.
Eight foot drive, high road clearance, no carbon pollution etc. :D :D :D

If I could wind the clock back 40 years it'd be very tempting Peter, although maybe a couple of camels rather than ponies.

The house boat is the best I can do and with a bit of luck you will be waiting a while LOL.
That's the attitude Brian, glad to hear it. The longer the wait the happier we will be Brian, so don't go rushing off to the after life any time soon eh 8-)

Maybe you need to buy the bare bones unit and either take it back to your workshop or bring it here. Then the semi retired motorhome builders on this forum can do a trip through and give you a hand on the build. That way it isn't such a big load on one body but rather a shared load across many who would enjoy helping you build your dream machine. You still stay in charge of the project, the helping hands are just that, but hands that have had the experience of doing a similar job themselves.

Just a thought, but I'd be surprised if you didn't get a lot of helper put their hand up for a few weeks of assistance. With either location, there is room to park up and live in their own rig and maybe take in the sights of the area at the same time.

That sounds like a good idea. You could call it Buildaid, and some of us could just utilise whatever our particular skills are. 😃

MHA, Motor Home Assist .... but Buildaid does have a catchy sound to it :lol: It's not just those experienced in woodworking in an RV involved in a motorhome or any RV fit out, there is the electrical, both 12v and 240vac, the gas and water plumbing, welders and metal fabricators, those experienced in working with fibreglass ..... and the opportunity to learn new skills from each other while helping a friend and enjoying the social event ...... startying to sound better all the time :D

I could hire out the Luxo Barge to Cuppa for a modest cost, at least then it would get some use... :lol: during the band aid

:lol: plenty of fridges with space for the beer, just need the beer. The volunteer workers would assist in the motivation to keep going on the project, something that is difficult to maintain when working on your own. The feeling of isolation is another big issue, you read about all those off having the adventurers you plan to have if you ever finish the project, but every set back just seems to make that dream further out of reach resulting in a feeling of being all alone stuck at home working towards a dream that may never eventuate.
Well, that was my experience anyway. Getting away in the Kombi and then later in the Mazda and having a project that I could see light at the end of the tunnel with Eddie helping to do the inside refit made all the difference to that project. It still isn't finished of course, but that might be more me than anything else :lol:
