Now that Doug's smoke signals & dust has settled for a little while ( didn't want to croud his limelight; LOL) we will make the annoucement of a new van on the horrizon.
As said earlier we have cut this trip a bit short due to the comming changes in Dec,heading home for a few weeks as we have to be back in Adelaide in Dec to change over the van. May do the rest of this trip with the new unit.
Ok; the new van will be a Lotus Freelander; 19ft 6" . Control rider suspension, (std) on a 150mm chassis with the new McHitch auto coupling. Solar & battery pack with a compressor fridge.Leather & holland blinds. (A new idear & great on those new windows).Genny box & two jerry carriers with spare tyre on the rear bar as std.Tunnel boot, centre door & roll out awning.
They talk about all your xmas's comming at once; maybe its this xmas LOL.
Cheers;
J & L.

Shut the front gate!
How exciting is that JC. Sounds truly amazing. Maybe we could all line up lakeside at Greens mate and compare apples from apples.
Gee, with all these new tugs and Den's arriving I sure hope the people in high places don't find out or they might think we are getting too much money in the pay packet. Oh! I pay myself so it's none of their business anyway.
Thanks for the chat last night too, was great to catch up mate. I think the Mc Hitch will find it's way on my Den too I reckon.
