looking at a motor home
Permalink  

I love this life of 4-6 weeks in each place.

 

looking at a motor home but it is unregistered .    Good size and will suit me.

I am no longer a solo as I have no a traveling companion.   Her name is Matilda....14 weeks old and full of energy and mischief.

Yoo guys are so quiet these days

Dawa

You'll have to put a sign on your van dawa - 'Matilda and Me'. Glad you have some company and good to see you posting. Take care. Do you need a bigger van now there is 'Matilda and Me'?

Must be the heat that is keeping us all quiet. I have finally left Werribee and am back a Greens Lake for a few days. Hot here and the little flies are going to drive me nuts - BUT - I can run the aircon with the generator - just have to take it off Econo run! Whew! So can stay inside now! We are all parked up under the trees rather than on the lake edge this time.
Maybe we can catch up sometime.

Approx 45km to the west Dawa, not long at all. Why not just call your new rig "Waltzing With Matida"?????

 well i found out this is the second owner where the motor home has been unregistered.  Makes me think there is some thing wrong big time.      Also on looking more closely at photos it is wired and very dependant on 240v.

So I have decided to get and get an annexe like John[yeoeleven]  has and wait awhile.

No worries Dawa.
Sorry I have not responded but very busy relaxing LOL.
Mine is full 240v and runs from batteries but it is not for the unwary but it is not impossible as many think.
If it has changed hands with no rego then it may be hard to get it re registered with out a lot fo work and money.
Regards
Brian

 not  registered for 6 years really put me off.

Leave it where it is. There are too many questions and not enough answers. Unless you're flash with cash and are a proficient mechanic and engineer I'd leave it alone.
