14 DAYS ON THE OAD


smileHI EVERY ONE ME AND MAGGIE HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 14 DAYS NOW ON OUR BIG ADVENTURE  AND HAVE HAD OUR SHARE OF TROUBLE

WE HAD TO GET RID OF OUR TUG AS WE WERE ONLY GETTING 300K PER TANK OF PETROL AROUND $80 HAVE SOLVED THAT PROBLEM AND NOW HAVE A TOYOTA LAND CRUISER ON GAS THE LAST PART OF OUR JOURNEY WE GOT 390K OUT OF A TANK OF GAS AND SAVED $50 IN COSTS

WE HAD NEW ELECTRIC BRAKES FITTED AND AND THEN HAD PROBLEMS WITH LIGHTS NOT WORKING AND THE ELECTRIC BRAKES NO RELEASING PROPERLY AND SMOKE POURING OUT FROM THE BRAKES ON THE VAN  CALLED AT FRITCH BROS AUTO ELECTS IN TEMORA AND THEY SOLVED THAT PROBLEM

WHAT ELCE WILL GO WRONG         NOTHING FOR A WHILE I HOPE

Hi Percy & Maggie ..

How unfortunate to start in such a way .. Never mind .. I'm sure most have had similar runs of unwanted problems ..
It does happen to us all .. but at different times. You did well to take it all on and make the problems yours to fix ..
I do the same .. that way you end up with occasional obstacles .. but no big problems ..

enjoy !

Jon
