all the bells and whistles that some people think are a must have is nothing but extra weight, mostly bragging rights when they pull in to the next caravan paddock, once you start truly travelling you will find matilda is a fantastic conveyance, we have little blue, very few luxurys in there, we have roamed this great land up hill and down dale ( he didnt like that much I can tell you!!!! ) all up about 200,000 kms since we had her, and I wouldnt trade a second of it for a you beaut 32 footer with all mod cons, no hope in hell of getting a rig like that to most places we go, but all one needs is a bed and somewhere to cook, we, as you will, spend most of our time outside with other people, cook outside, eat outside, we only sleep inside, take the porta potty outside if we are far enough off the beaten track, had some of the most amazing toilet views you could imagine, dont belittle matilda, you and her will become best freinds and freinds dont do that to each other, enjoy what you have, you have a lot, a lot of people have a bloody sight less, be like the others and snub your nose at the tenters, anyway we are off tommorow, arkaroola here we come for 2 weeks, yeah I hear ya Basil "now someone else might get a word in!!!!"
