Cuppa ,
Yes the panels are coming off, I have a Tigerz roof top tent and Bat Wing style awning which was fitted to the wagon ,
We have camped in that for up to a couple of weeks at a time , and realised anything more would be an issue with the anchor , and me too I suppose ! , we have a semi off road van and the plan is at the moment to use the van as a base
And the patrol as a go anywhere vehicle , so we dont have any of those (we should have moments) our first biggie is planed for mid may 2015 for around four to five months sussing out where we want to go back to for longer stays , plan at the moment is straight up the middle hang a left at Darwin then Kimberly ect down the west coast (sort of) zig zaging to Perth
Then Nullabore then home , my resume is coming with , you never know what might happen ! Buy the way we are based in frankston area , Victoria , I wished we had done it a long time ago but we had kids instead now its our time and we arnt going to miss it this time around !
Regards,
Gary.
