thanks guys, yep, it is pretty flash and stylish, but it is our home for a while at least.

We have removed the couch and fitted a computer station in it's place so we can do the stuff we enjoy, especially our new direction in photography.

Have fun Leon,

Now where is the Roof turret - surely there is one there !
Fuel consumption at 5km/l sounds optimistic - I would have thought less ?

Cheers

Rally

I think you need mud flaps that say... "Back-off" ... you don't want anyone rear-ending you, the resulting explosion would be visible from space!

OIC!

Looks impressive Leon. But isn't the door on the wrong side?

Anyway, Enjoy.

i am just wondering were the astro gear is going ... and isn't this taking searching for clear dark skies a bit to far. On the plus side when you cross the Nullarbor you can just hook up the scope with PHD and use a mount to keep her nice and steady have fun.

Thanks Ken, yea you are right Henry, in the states the door is on the right hand side, so they, here in OZ put a dummy door on the left to keep the experts happy. Geoff we are heading west from Ballarat, never been that way, and we have all the time in the world.

how many weeks are you going to practice parking/reversing before your game enough to set off Leon

you mean, ALICE is very game, don't you ?

when my turn comes around (and sooner the better), i have my heart set on a 26' Winnebago Esperance - i will be looking for a big paddock to have a practice in i think.

What's the idea of the dummy door? I thought putting the real door on the left side would be part of the conversion.

It's just like the John Deer ATV's you see the councils driving around in. John Deer is made in USA so it's left hand drive or nothing.
