Hello Libby, Glad to see you now have a set of travel wheels, hope you get mobile soon and start the new lifestyle........it will give you a new outlook on life, keep well, Vic

Hi Libby, good to see you back amongst the fold, how can you get your life "in order" mine is n a pure state of chaos at all times, good on you

Hi Vic and Dave,

Thank you for the welcome, I end up buying a VW Campervan Trakka High Roof,  I am very pleased with it as it doesnt have to be registered till next year and it also has low milage which is a plus.  One thing that I liked was it has a swivel stove, I wasnt real keen on cooking inside the van.  A lot I looked at had the stove well inside the van which I felt would leave cooking smells.  Arent I fussy.    It also has a roo bar which I was very pleased with as I would have bought one regardless as  I have in the past  hit roos with my car and you know how much damage they do.  I like to travel early in the morning and they seem to be about at that time.

yes the swivel stove would be a major advantage, we dont cook inside at all, too hard to get the smell out of the curtains and bedding the trakka is a great vehicle and with a very well thought out interior plan, very user freindly, being a volkswagon it will serve you very well for a long time to come well done indeed, let us know of your first forays with it as well as piccys

Will do, always wanted a chaff cutter, that's what we called VDubs when we were kids.  Loved them.

yes chaff cutter and hitlers revenge but there is no denying the things just keep on going and they are so easy to work on, a very reliable vehicle designed by mr porsche

Hi Libby welcome back. sounds like you have already got your life in order. Retired, got your wheels, and getting ready to go. What more is there to do but get out there and enjoy. Johnw

hi libby.  its good to know you,from a fellow banana bender.     in my day we used to call vw's "puddle jumpers".      they bring back fond memories,   my daughter lynda was in year 10 at high school,and she wanted to leave.  so we came to a agreement,i bought her a 1972  1500 beetle,and she stayed at school.     she is nowa senior nurse in the intensive care unit at the wodonga hospital.    so you can see what happens with one volt wagen.

Well done Libby! Welcome back from your "sort of" absence. Congratulations for getting your life in order. Can you come and help me with mine now please?. No matter what vehicle you have, as long as it suits your needs. The VW sounds like the ideal vehicle for you. Good choice. Safe and happy travels. Cheers Chris
