Nomads, meet our girl Allie

She's a 1992 MAN 10180 cylinder diesel mini-coach.  She recently (just finished today) got her windows removed to be reclad and have motorhome windows fitted.  We think she looks great!  The work was done by CP Motorhomes in Ulverstone Tasmania; they were fantastic with us, would recommend them to anyone.  She also has a built in tyre inflater thingy (attached to her airtanks), which comes out the front bumper, as seen in the last picture - Troy built that.

13 days to go!!

Hi Rosie W it really does look fantastic and I hope you have many hours of happy traveling I would love to see some inside photos.
I remember when I was involved in the tourist industry and the MAN was known as Many Alterations Necessary but nowadays they have improved there name.

Nice and roomy. Also noticed the relatively short wheel base which should make the vehicle quite maneuverable. I like the idea of removing all the side windows and replacing them with a whole new panel. Looks good!

Nice unit there Rosie. I think you will find the MAN to be a good chassis, and from what it looks like, the conversion has been well done.
I also would like to see some internal photos when you have time.

Regards

Nice Rosie and Troy. I especially like the "Periscope" in pic one. You don't need the good ship spirit now as you can just drive across under the water cos you can see where you are going.
