Finally found my new home
Permalink  

Now trying to get everything done before I have to be out of he house and living in the new rig in 4 weeks. Not that a lot really needs to be done but I'd rather make any changes and mods now before I'm living in there permanently. 

Pretty big for one bloke and his dog, but it's a nice bit of luxury. If I'm going to be homeless, living and working on the streets I want to be comfortable. smile  Took it for a test drive down to Margaret River last week and was surprised that I got about 17L/100km, nowhere near as painful as I thought, very easy to drive too but I have to watch out for low branches on tracks and driveways.

Just got a Hitch n go installed on my little suzuki GV a couple of days ago, that was a bit pricey, but I think with a vehicle this size (30 foot), it will be nice to park and make camp then go exploring in the car rather than trying to drive the bus around everywhere.

Looks great earthbound. I'm having a hitch fitted on Wednesday, to tow a little Suzuki also. Will change my travelling experience again.

Wow, that's a serious bit of gear! Even a double sink! I'm sure you'll never feel homeless in that rig.

Wow that will be recognizable when we see you out on the beat.
What model Suzi have you got?
They run on the smell of an oily rag.

Even a double sink? Embarrassingly, it's even got a dish washer... Not sure if I'll pull it out yet, wait and see, I've never had a dishwasher, even in my house.

The suzi is a 2010 grand vitara, the newest car I've ever owned and very nice to drive. Haven;t tried towing it yet, but shouldn't be a problem as the last owners towed a loaded trailer without a problem. The hitch n go is a bit of a beast to attach and disconnect though, will be interesting out on the road doing it single handed.
