After picking up our new van a couple of weeks ago, the weekend just gone was our first trip away. A massive 70km from home (and that was the long way there ). At an ATM of 2740kg the Triton (3000kg ATM) certainly knows it's pulling something now. The Jayco Camper and the 15' Crusader pop top we previously h...

This is my little van. She only has a tare of 680kg, so hopfully won't be two much strain on the old car. One thing I really like is that I can step right into it without an external step.

She was a school bus near Joondalup, Perth and the first job was driving her back to the Sunshine Coast, QLD. Sleeping on the rear bench seat wasn't too bad... but I froze my butt o...
