Now there's a head-turner! Looks like he's getting a bit of sponsorship from Ford as well.

Ah !!! That would be great, ?? slow traveling But . if something breaks you only need a spanner, screwdriver, pliers, hammer, and a bit of fencing wire, and then away you go ?? And if it does not want to start next morning ?? It will be Either Spark, or Fuel, Both easy to check ?? ----- And no bloody computer to confuse things  biggrinbiggrin

What a fantastic setup.I bet Ford may have a little bit of sponsorship here, if not they have missed a golden marketing opportunity .

When we were working over in Kal WA a group of people who travel around different parts of the country raising money for different charities use restored old tractors (cannot just think of the brand)towing off road vans. The thing that struck me regarding their set ups was the way they heat their hot water, they had polly pipe slung across the front of the radiators on the tractors. Most of these people are retired farmers from around Dongara area WA...Also there is a beaut pic of a home made caravan made from a tandem car trailer on the vintage caravan site....Well worth a peep just to see how some people have over come the over priced RV industry.

 Yes nomadic1.. 2 of them, you roll them down with that handle inside each door.

What a gorgeous set-up!

Air con = convertable - just roll back the roof. He does carry the crank handle under the seat just in case. Back of teardrop opens to the kitchen complete with microwave, the bed is separate through side door.
