They took our mobile home away

[RussellB[SA]]

Some more piccies of our new rig.














Plus an idea of how much crap we took out of the mobile home (not including food and clothing)

Hey Russell, looks good mate. Don't chuck out all the crap I bet a bit sneaks back in?

As a bit of review of the new van I chose it because it looked well design and well built, over the easter weekend I tested and reviewed everything thoroughly, and my bitch list was empty.

I could be a bit shorter (too late she cried) but its fine for Anne, no oven but a Breville Table top oven fits in one of the cupboards really well. Theres lots of kitchen cupboards and plenty of room for clothing and shoe collections but mens secret garage bays are a little on the short side when compared with the Mobile home. There again we have the new Mitsubishi Challenger to fill up with that stuff in due course. The Shower and the dunny are well positioned and suit even my tight little "A". I even looked underneath the van and its a credit to the grade 6 work experience kids who built it.

I've yet to mount a SATTV set top box and Dish connection but I'll leave that for after we shift home on the 5th May.

Are we happy, yes we are.

The ATM comes in at 2139 and even with my mate's Triton without WDH it tows nicely around town.

As I said nothing on the bitch list yet.

Looks great Russell. It seems unusual to me that the loo is on the annexe side but I have no idea what difference it makes. Just haven't seen it often.

We're not annex people so it's not a real issue, although I must admit you can't fully open the window with awning in the travel position. The dunny is on that side because the shower bay is wider and it is a compact van.

"tanks" here RussellB-- The unit looks nice and compact and so very new ! For a good try-out come over here to the West for Winter.

I know what you mean by all the crap you removed. I brought a 6 x 5 trailer when I was in Maryborough Qld last year just to carry my Aldi purchases back to WA. I am now going to use the trailer for carrying fuel, spare gas cylinders, generators, Mig Welder, grinders, drills, saws, [I may get inspired to do some modifications to the Sprinter while I have time on my hands] cartons of books to leave at campsitefor other people to read as I tour around, and a heap of other things that I don't need, but may find a use for along the road.


Don't forget to get yourself "DO NOT OVERTAKE TURNING VEHICLE " sign if your overall length is 7 m plus.
