Can the poll be reset so we can see what the actually number is now ?

I don't think so, might have to make a meet in the middle #3 thread lol.
Not a bad idea for threads like this though.
I think we actually can do that now..lolQuote:

My truck is in getting a new Gearbox then when it gets back it has to get a front bar, steps, scrubs, winch, under tray tool boxes and front locker fitted.Quote:

Then my new camper gets delivered 2nd week of June so I can start fitting that out for a departure 3rd week of June.
What could possibly go wrong eh...
Almost collected all the parts for the aux tank install now so once I've got all that just gotta put it all in and then I'll be done!
I'm getting there very slowly Roofy!!
Ripped out the drawer system and wiped up a quick half ass fridge and oven holder...lol...note: half ass!!!
Still need to put the aux tank in, full service, roof rack etc but ill be right.
Wanna swap jobs...Quote:

I just had a spare 4.7 seconds to think about food for the trip.
Has anyone got any plans for food?
Especially food on the second week of the trip?
Is everyone stocking their fridge for the entire trip using cryovac meat on the second and part third weeks and tin veg when fresh produce goes funky?
I'm also thinking of taking my brothers 60 litre waeco for a second fridge and run it on freeze for Barny bananas and ice cubes for drinks in the Simpson desert...lol
Food?... is that the stuff you have after you run out of Beer?
When planning a 4WD trip it is the mark of a good leader to ensure at least one of the participants is young, tender and juicy just in case of emergencies.
