I had decided not to finish my bike caravan, until, a fellow bike tourist whom stayed with us over the weekend, asked how I would use it. And I said, it is an office, a kitchen, a loungeroom and a bedroom, but I had decided not to finish it at this stage. He said why not?, how many other miniature caravans around that you know can do all those things all at once, and is no bigger then 2,2 metres long by 900mm wide by 1.2 metres high inside?. He said , you have proved that it can handle torrential rain, way much more then a tent would do, , and with all your gear, your dog, food, water, bike, and yourself, overall weight including electric bike components will be 230kgs. He said all his weight , including trailer, him and the bike is 190kg, so for a extra 40kgs, I get a bed, a lounge, an office and a kitchen all in one,. So he talked me back into it, and I will finish it, but not until after xmas, and will properly use it, in Autumn, maybe when I head away long term.

Snail, looks like a BOB trailer. I have one , but is not used now as my dog comes with me in his dog trailer (2 wheeler). Yes I will finish it, and get cracking , it was quite good during the storm. and overnite.
I have been using the van, last trip I camped near Myrtleford rode to Bright had lunch then back to the van, next day off to Beechworth lunch back to the van then the day after off to Wang. Three days easy riding done 250kms much better than towing.
