I am Jeff and I have a Wife Denise and last year after me looking at Caravans for 3 years I bought a Roadstar Magnifique, I bought a Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Pickup Truck in 2018 and became unemployed in 2019, so in December 2019 Denise says.
Such in such has a caravan for sale why not ask them. Well it was a Millard 17'5 ft poptop with single beds and that was going to work so I show Denise, a Roadstar 23ft Magnifique I had been watching and long story cut short she says make him an offer and the next day I am off to WA to inspect and buy it.
The van is 2008 build and I love the interior layout and love it, plus I called into see my Sister in WA as well the whole two birds thing.
Been studying Solar Power systems for 8 weeks, how to evaluate panels, different solar controllers the whole box and dice, so I am upgrading to a 400 Watt system as that's Watt I need future proofing.
So why the Ram well I can tow 4.5 tonne and still have a 913kg payload, so the Scalies are never going to get me for overweight, plus only uses 14.7 L/100 towing the Van at the speed limit or 100km/h. Sits 6 people or 2 people & 3 dogs easially.
Anyhow that's me in a nutshell if I don't know I'll find out, I am hoping to learn from those of have been around where to go what to do and how to improve our setup.

Hello Ram Man
Welcome to the forum, lots of helpful advice is available here. (The topics tend to go off subject sometimes)
It's been a bit quiet of late, but you have lots to catch up on.
Can't believe I beat Dougwe in welcoming you
Enjoy in here and on your travels

It might be something to do with being a bit slower during this CV19 thing JeffRae me thinks. That and I have missed Ram Man's previous two posts elsewhere.
Welcome to the gang Ram Man, enjoy here and out in the playground.
I want a ram when I grow up but then read a heap of bad stuff about them so now when I grow up I am interested in a Ford F250.
Who knows though? I might change my mind and want a Ram if I ever grow up and I tell you that for free. The Ram is a nice looking vehicle though.

Saw your rig, on another part of the forum, it certainly looks the part

probably enough room in a F - 250 you might not need a caravan anymore
