Our rig - Ultima Express with PX Ranger tug
Permalink  

Hi eveyrone,

 

This is our home away from home. We spent about four years researching and sorting pros and cons between caravan, motorhome and 5th wheeler eventually deciding that this was for us. We intend living in it for at least five years or maybe more when I eventually retire, so we wanted a bit of comfort. Since purchase I have fitted four X 150W solar panels and MPPT charging system(REDARC) and a Vansat automatic satellite dish. Also squeezed in a 2500W inverter to power my coffee machine (never leave home without it)

Thanks. Sitting watching the storms brew up around Brisbane and fretting a little bit :(
Hope it misses us - again!

Very nice rig thunder. We are picking up our Ultima this Friday 07/02/2014. What type of hitch do you have fitted and what is the turning circle like ?? We will be towing our fiver with a Mazda BT50  using the Hayman Reese R16 hitch. Only 5 more sleeps cheers Wayne.
