firstly im home from bangkok but look what we bought
Permalink  

before i went to bangkok we saw this camper in the park at landsborough for sale it was 22,000 comes with double cab 1985 ford trader camper has 12 volt and 240 shower toilet, kitchen has big fridge ,oven microwave, stereo 12 /240volt tv

brand new annex never been put up 6 mths rego ,sleeps five people if you wanted to

had a mira diahatsu with 11 mths rego on it goes with it plus the a frame to drag it behind ,so we got the guy and looked inside we were stoked but people said well you have your old little camper why dont you wait and buy something newer for when you retire ,so we said no to the guy in the end, whilst  i was in bangkok hubby rang said the mans wife had taken a fall and they were desperate to get rid of it so we could take the lot for ten grand so it was a done deal .

 

pics are included we are off to imbil this weekend as its a long weekend so getting to test it out just a short trip but nice to get away hubby needs a break too.i will post a pic of bangkok next hope you guys are all safe and smiling xx

Still a little while to go yet.   Got Rego. next week, then have to save for a few weeks before I go anywhere.   No more big bills for a while now though.   Didn't have to pay anything for electricity this time thank god.   Actually in credit.

My youngest sister is down at her House-sit near Woodford for 3 months, and the next one lives in your town, and the third is in Brisbane.   So I'll be seeing all of you when I come down.

Shouldn't be more than a month or so now.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Top one Good deal for a start up unit. Better than laying out 100 plus only to find out it's not your scene 10 years on and you will recover your money

What's the inside layout?
The exterior looks great and the twin cab is a bonus. How big is the truck motor?
Can you get through to the van from the cab?
At the price you paid you can aford to do a few upgrades. Have fun with it.

hey there cruising granny inside is walk in to look straight ahead at the stove, and shower door ill try to get some pics up here of inside ,
after that straight tothe left of you is the fridge as you come in the door, then above that a microwave inside a cupboard, then a lounge suite
with a table ,then across the other side is another lounge suite, the bed is bigger than a double because i tried fitted double flanellette sheets
and they wouldnt fit properly

its pretty good nic inside too timber panelwood doors everywhere heaps of space we are now talking of later on buying a newer version
four wheel drive and turn it into a fifth wheeler it can be done few dollars to spend there, we were going to put a newer truck under it but we now
think instead of a newer truck and towing a car thats two regos two insurances so buy a newer four wheel drive like a nissan turn it into a fifth wheeler
and there we have the car to drive around in plus we can claim on the car we buy for work purposes .
