Looks better when it is dirty cause we know you are doing the nomading cruise.

Look'n good there Foss. I like the matching paint job too. Heaps of room in that beast.

Looks great Foss, love the matching trailer. I'm still tossing up whether to tow a trailer or flat tow a small 4X4. I'd just about need a satnav to find my way around inside! Hope you have many thousands of kilometres of grey nomading in your pride and joy.
Cheers

Hi Foss
Can you share some common specs for your ex bus now looking great looking Motor Home.
IE motor, gearbox, fuel usage, where did it start it life.
I am a dreamer, would like to do something along those lines. Ralph.

Hi Radar
Here are some specs for the old girl for anyone that is interested
It's a 1973 hino with a freighter body, it's an old RAAF band bus origanaly coverted to a M/H in 2000.
I purchased the complete unit ( bus & trailer ) in 2005 and have been on the road since then. Left Geelong got to Darwin via East coast and still here.
The motive power is a 10L diesel , 195 HP , 5 spd auto and does 0-80 in 8 mins.
Downhill 100 kph uphill 30 kph.
I average fully loaded 3.5K's/L ( thats with a Suzie grand vitara in the trailer)
Has solar ,450Ah AGM'S ,200 water 200 grey
Can post some interior pic's if interested
