Zena - My new home

Zena is so named because her number plate starts with Z. I thought of Zelda and Zena, my son Michael said Zena and so she is.

The photos I have so far are from the advertising blurb but show clearly just how she looks inside and out.

Looks good , Marg. Can you lie across the van on theback bed? If she is named Zena, does that make you the warrior princess? Only joking. Bill

She arrived at lunchtime today. Specially delivered from MNelbourne to Geelong and with a full tank of diesel.
Packing the van now, looking where to put everything.
So many switches and buttons, will take a while to work them all out.

Looks very nice Marg. You deserve Zena.

Now you and Jess get on the road and show Zena off to all.

Stay safe

Yes SnowT, the sliding door on the driving side hides the back of the toilet and all the water pipes and workings. There's a door in there also to access the toilet cassette.
Everything works so well, I'm so pleased.
Been up to Echuca and Greens Lake. Now back down in Geelong at my son Michaels while he is away for work this week. Spending the time packing the van properly and emptying out the spare room where I have put all my stuff since I unpacked Myrtle.
It's a godsend having the storage container on the back. So much can go in there and now I shouldn't have anything sitting around in the aisle by the time I get back out on the road at the end of this week.

Gday...

I've been keeping a close eye on Zena and your progress and letting all the accolades flow in.

I too am glad you have been able to upgrade from Myrtle to Zena. After all the "learning experiences" you have gone through over the past three years, you deserve the comfort it is apparent you now have.

There will be no stopping you now. go get em !

cheers - John

Hi! Marj.

Great set up. Really nice interior & facilities, very well thought out. Love the fold down table and of course the loo.

The Bull Bar really sets it off. Walk through from the back to the front, very important for those quick getaways.

We were up at at Wuruma end of October and on the way home hit a very big Roo just south of Eidsvold.
$7000.00 damage. We hope to get our vehicle back tomorrow. Van was O.K. Stayed on the road luckily.

Enjoy your new luxury.

Just a thought, 14 foot Tinnie on the top, 25 Hp. Four Stroke Yamaha mounted on the bull Bar. don't worry about shading the solar panel with the boat.

Just joking Marj.

Enjoy and W.O.F.B.R's.

Haji-Baba

Jeff and Joan.

Very nice setup! I see also your F45 Awning is on a better angle than ours as ours is directly fixed to the curved roof of Jabba and causes us no end of trouble! Enjoy!

Looks Great, Marj,

Home Sweet Mobile Home,

The back of your Home as you drive it along, Creates a Vaccum effect on the back and it sucks up dust, so make sure your box on the back is completely sealed with a rubber strip,
