Crikey, that must give an interior of 28 odd foot!  Don't lose the dog in there. cry For that size I am surprised it is only 2.9t.  What is the anticipated loaded weight?  Water, gas, food etc?

Enjoy it , it looks lovely.

Cheers Neil

Yea!!!! Glad you guys finally made it - one day, we shall meet up 'on the road' Lorraine for that coffee!! Can't wait to meet up with you. Must say, don't recommend being in Tsv during a cyclone though!! Will be heading south (home) around middle of March (I think), depends when this grandchild decides to arrive, s/b next week.

Looks lovely, you are so lucky. What a great way to travel. I could bring my tribe to play with Brodie, and we wouldn't see them...

I've had problems seeing the piccies too.

I suspect the problem is the file size of the photos. Perhaps if photos were edited to reduce their physical size, and maybe their resolution too, it would help. Any photo editing program including the freebie, "Irfanview" can do this.

Hi Neil, I am trying to edit my post, it was a bit confusing.  Length of the Chassi is about 30ft - Van itself is 21ft .

Anticipated loaded weight is 3.5t

Thanks Pejay - we will be around until July, so when back in Brisbane we should try to catch up.

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes and "admiration" We are pretty "chuffed" with our choice. Sorry about the issues with the photos. I am currently looking into it and trying to edit the original post.

Allara, yes I think all the collies could play in the van - Brodie thinks it is pretty special too. Petengail, perhaps you might like to park under the awning - might make a bit of a mess trying to get you unit into the van - it may look big, but the door is pretty average! CaptnCreambun - I will PM you with more details.

Sorry Lorraine - getting hard to get a Sunday lately - used to be no-one wanted to do them - now they all do - typical - but that's the way it goes - maybe next time.
