Hi All

This is our new toy (had aprox 4 mths) and were looking to get on the road soon.

Unfortunatly some low lifes broke into it in a secure storage yard and stripped out anything they could leaving a lot of damage behind :(

Currently being repaired and hopefully we will get another chance to get away by the end of November.

All the best

Mike

Welcome from me too Mike C, enjoy here and out in the playground.

As for those low life's, I'll hold them down for you and you can get stuck into them, then the local constabulary can take care of them.

Thanks again
Looking forward to getting out there and meeting you guys on the road.

Those scum bags caused 20k of damage and the gear they took would have possibley netted them $200 to $300
Insurance is comming to the party but looks like I will still be at least $1500 out of pocket.
they broke into 10 vans and motor homes during the one night. We are still totally shocked.

cheers

Mike

Hi David

The brand is Paradise Independance.
Total length is 8.7 mtrs and opens up to aprox 4.4 mtrs wide (two 900mm deep slides full length drivers side and up to the side door passengers side)
built on an Iveco 65 series truck.
Lots of solar 6x130w, 660 Ah batteries, 3kva Diesel Generator, 3000w Victron inverta charger system, Auto leveling legs and lots more stuff.
Had only 1000k on it and never been used (was built in 2009) needed some finishing off which we had just completed prior to the breakin.
so far we are very happy with it.

cheers

Mike
