Good to have you here, Rusty.

Do tell, though - what did you have to do to make the Cheroke EEEEE!, reliable?

Patent the secret, there's a lot of folk who would pay plenty of money for the good oil (pardon the pun) winkbiggrin

Welcome to the Nomads Rusty. Nice of you to drop in.
All I can say is keep the weight of the van down. The Jeep Cherokee tug I saw on the eastern end of the Nullarbor blew the diff towing an 18fter.
Lucky there was a good mechanic at Penong.
Pity I shared too much Bundy with the Jeep travellers. Ouch!
See what can happen to you when you're on the road? I wouldn't have it any other way.
Safe and happy travels, and have fun getting there.

Welcome to the forum from me too!
I'm not retired yet, so am working my way around, when the pennies get low.
I'm doing some vol work in WA at the moment.
Hope you enjoy your days/years on the road and look forward to metting you one day.
Cheers,
Dianne
