My wife Vivienne and I have travelled across this beautiful country of ours many times. We have enjoyed every moment of it and have met some lovely people.
We are travelling in a converted High Ace Commuter Bus with trailer.

Happy travelling

Eric

Hello Eric

Welcome to the forum, we have a lot of knowledgeable people around here and it is good to have another well seasoned traveller on board.

I see from your post you travelled in the Toyota Hiace Commuter.  I am in the process of converting the exact same vehicle myself and it is good to see others out there in one.  

Once again welcome aboard.

Cheers
Frank

Hello Frank,

Thank you for your reply. You will have a lot of fun (and hard work) converting your vehicle. Where are you located? If you need any advice feel free to ask me.

Hi Eric.
It is fun and hard work, my main object with this conversion I want the vihicle to be self contained for a period of 3 weeks at a time.

I have come to the conclusion it's no different then building the space shuttle the only advantage I won't run out of oxygen LOL.

I'm located in Melbourne and thanks for your kind offer, I will be seeking advice

Cheers Frank.
