Thanks all for your good wishes.   Could'nt work out how to add comments.  I don't think Molly is too impressed with all this. Hope she gets used to it

Very very nice indeed Chi, you must be getting sooo excited. I love packing, getting all the bits and pieces and imagining where and what I will find as we go.  smile

No HW it is 3yrs old. 123,000ks KEA seem to prepare their sale vehicles as they would for a rental. All the stuff came with it too. Only have to load food and clothes. and learn to work everything and drive it. Was a big day today.

Yuglamron, Yep, with all the rain recently, all the trees along my street overhang the road. Just have to be careful. Still practicing.

Congratulations and well done ChiChi........you make me green with envy.

When you purchase from KEA do you get some form of warranty?

Ok, where are you planning to go?

cheers,

ozi2

Ozi2,
You get 3 mths warranty on house. It has a couple of dings in the side and they have undertaken to have them fixed. Have to take it back to Sydney and leave it for a week soon.

It also has three year mechanical warranty. It has to be serviced every 10,000k's and claim limit of $1250. Won't fix anything badly wrong, but it will help. I was impressed with the trouble KEA went to for pre-delivery.

Yes, Gill. Thank you. Has shower & Toilet. Your right only small but will do the job. That was one of my must haves. The other one was solar. Not a large capacity one and might have to look at supplementing somehow but I intend to go remote where parks are few.

You've done very well. If I went to a campervan that would be my style completely.
It seems Kia Sydney was nice to you than they were to my girlfriend who bought hers from Brisbane Kea. They tried everything to get out of helping her.
She pushed and won in the end. Hers is a bigger motor home but on the same chassis with the same motor as the Transit van, with bed over cab. She's stoked.
It certainly is well done.
Safe and happy travels to the destinations you now have to tell us about.

Thanks CG. KEA were really good. Went for a look when we were in Sydney for my neice's wedding, had a test drive and a bit of a chat. We then spent another two days looking at others all over and went home.

Thought about it for a week and rang and put a deposit on subject to inspection. Went back to Sydney and picked it up. Its ends up to being a choice of compromises. For me these were the happy medium.

Nice units with all the comforts but not too big. Can still park in carpark at shops and of course most importantly Molly will be OK being left for a little while.

Going up either to Rockhampton or Quilpie depending where my wandering sister will be. They are working in Rocky but own a mine at Quilpie so will get back down there eventually. Next year may go and do the top end with them.

Thats ok mate. I usually can't see the thumbnail ones but I'm sure Sheba can. Big ones only show up on my computer from this site. Must be something in our settings but we can't work it out.  no

Don't forget you'll have to take corners a little wider too. You'll know what I mean the first time you forget to. Cheers, Sheba.

You can insert photos on the top toolbar or attach images down the bottom of the text box mate. I copied and saved the images to my comp and then attached them onto the post.

 

I have the opposite prob to you, I can't often see the attached images, only the downloaded one from the top toolbar. smile

 

Glad you got to see it mate, it sure is lovely isn't it. smile

Sure is Firefly. Thanks for the info. Hadn't realised there were 2 ways to post Pics.

Going to try the toolbar option now.

This is a visitor I had yesterday afternoon. [ Sorry about being off-topic, but I need to try this now.]

Cheers,
Sheba.

Didn't work Firefly. Can you walk me through the process please so I can see what I've done wrong ?
