my first 3 days of Motorhome ownership
Hello, I'm Bill from Auburn in the Clare Valley SA. If you drive past my place in Auburn you will see the sight below. Picked this old girl up on geelong on Monday, made it back on Tuesday. Lots and lots of work required, however its an excellent base to work from. Was a dream to drive and I am looking forward to the fitout.

Re: my first 3 days of Motorhome ownership
Congratulations Bill!!
Looks very good so far from that angle!
Maybe once you've crawled around & under it you might give us a few more details about it?
What is/was your opinion of the baby Cat motor?
Any rattles or use any oil on the trip home?
What did the boss think of it once she got inside it?
I have deleted the duplicate posts... Norman....
How come you missed it Bruce...

Hello Bill
Sure Looks promising there doesn't seam to be many fit outs going on, It would be great if you could keep us all up to date with your progress,
with pictures as you go? We fitted out a Hino bus thought It would take about a year actually took 3 years,
Certainly was an experience,
Lots of good Luck

Re: my first 3 days of Motorhome ownership
Hello all.... I have a blog that I use sometimes for different things I am involved with. I have added a motor home thread to it , not much on it at the moment!! its at http://www.billvandepeer.com.au I know its hard to monitor an external site, so if I have any spectacular updates I will let you know on here. Thanks for your support on whats going to be a big project. I have already ticked off "changing starter motor" on my new list of skill which also include "using multimeter" ...got a few to add yet I think. Bill V
