If money was no object our travelling rig would be the same layout as the Coachmen but built more rugged and heavy duty to go on unsealed roads, not off-road, just those long stretches of dirt often found in the North & West. The trailer would contain a Suzuki Jimny, a 250cc trail bike plus a 12' tinny on a trailer on top of the car trailer.

I would have the new cell estate 26 footer, with all the trimmings for free camping. I would tow with a Ford F-250 flatbed at least or a small flatbed truck.
Dream on.

I would buy the auto trail motorhome reviewed in the latestr issue of imotorhome, looks good and perfect for solo long term living I reckon!

I'd do very little towing because I'd have several dozen rigs set up and waiting for me to be driven to them one at a time..
The driver would have to keep quiet I don't like staff taking to me. Perhaps he can send an e-mail.

Cloak - you crack me up lol.............you didn't mention the gender or age of the your staff
Assuming I didn't have quite that much money, I'd go for a Paradise motorhome - about a 20 footer - both sides electrically extend out and tow a small 4 x 4 with tinny on top.
Became aquainted with a couple with such a rig - he loves it and had no warranty issues with it at all

When you get yourself organized Doug we're looking forward to the pics and all the secret specs and gadgets.
I reckon some of us are more excited than you are....

Secret specs have to stay secret cos they are secret. Pics can do, maybe in a few days though.
One sleep.
Have fun Gayham and Julie.

I would have a King cab F-Truck with about a 30 foot 5th wheeler. Truck would be traytop...and the customised ally toolboxes around the deck would have all the test gear and electronic stuff...tools etc that I would need to fix mobility scooters while travelling around OZ
5TH wheeler would have enough solar and water storage to be self sufficient for however long we would need it.......plus be built well enough to cope with whatever I could throw at it...Effie would need to be 4WD...and have the engine breathing sorted for maximum efficiency....
Don't want much ...Do I ???!!!!!
Cheers Keith

Nahh Keith thats very similar to our choice. Only diff is we don't want an Effie we'll be using a light truck of some kind.
But the huge American 5th's are built very well and rather affordable they also have generous dimensions.
Yeah that's where we're heading at this stage.

I used to drive along looking enviously at other tugs and vans, since we got our current rig, I believe we have the best possible tug, and we love our van.
Maybe sometime our situation will change, but right at the moment I just cant see why.
