Shifted from the buy thread;
Ok to try and keep the forum tidy the posts from today are relocated here.
We bought a 20foot Caravan from a dealer on Friday, it's a 4 year old New Age Oz Classic with loads of fruit but still needing some mods so we can live in it for a year. Some repairs are needed so we negotiated a deal for the workshop to repair / replace as they should do it right with the correct OEM parts. Also full service, bearing replacement, brakes etc. plus check everything works as it should.
It come in at 2960kg ATM (total loaded) which is 240kg less than our upgraded Hayman Reece tow bar, that with the GVM upgrade we shouldn't need load levelers that are not recommended by Nissan anyway.
We sold our business nearly a year ago and I have done many chores around the house and yards that have been neglected. Pauly's work is being cut back to 2 days a week so she is not happy.
2 weeks ago she came home and asked how would I feel about renting the house to a friends sister for 12 months and we hit the road, that was truly out of left field as this place is her castle. Of course I said yes dear I can do that just so your happy...
We have 9 weeks from Pauly's surprise suggestion to pack up 28 years of living here plus have a holiday at the Big Red Bash as well and get the van ready to travel. Really only have 6 from now and 4 with the van to pack. Worst part is deciding what stays and what goes.
It's about to get really busy.
So I'll use this thread to tell our story, Cheers Macca
I have your number ending in ---- --- 135. You leave home soon don't you? Any plans?Originally Posted by Cuppa
We have a good mate working for the Aboriginal Legal Service in Kununurra, finishing his contract June 30.
Might see if we can catch up with him if he is still there as he knows the Kimberley well and with his new local contacts... we would really enjoy travelling through there with him.
Try and find work up that way for the wet would be great, Michael said he would never go there during that season but admits he had no idea how wrong he was. It is so beautiful to see all the falls and waterway in full flow. He keeps asking where we are going next....
I have 4 weeks to get it how I like then lock up the shed with all my tools etc., head out to Birdsville for the bash then come back on the 14th July ready to hand the house keys to the tenants on the 17th and we're gone.
The build is going to be a problem as I'm a serial modifier, its going to be hard not having my shed!
We have no plans, one Daughter lives in Coffs the other on Hamilton Island with her husband, so north is a start but after that we have no idea.
Actually sounds good having not a thing set in stone.
