    No shower and toilet cuts the weight down and you can have a Coleman portable shower and a portapotti, saves on water as well.

    Thanks. About 6 months ago I nearly bought a 31 footer, but found out my Patrol was 'too light' and with the mods and fully loaded, I'm pretty sure it would have been overweight anyway.

    I've lost a fair bit of interest, but am monitoring the 'Nomad Scene', lol. I've still got 10 tax returns to go and want to be debt free before retirement.

    My goal is to take a 4 year pay cut to 80% per year, and spend the 5th year - my last year of employment - soaking up the sun, 'on the house'. lol
