Hi Tess & Craig
Thanks for the warm welcome and sorry about our delayed reply, weve been a little busy with other things (planning our first van trip).
Yes, free camping is what we'd like to carry on with, at least for 3 or 4 days at a time, then back in, dust down & wash off for a couple...same as what we used to do with the tent, but now with a little more comfort....arrrr the back say's 'thanks':)
We've started to set up the van for self sufficiency where & when we can, but this is only early days caravaning for us and we'll spread the 'buy ups' over time. Separating the must have from the nice to have will always be the dilemma....and the depth of ones pockets.
The van is being built with what they call the Safari Range, I suppose just a selling gimmick for paying a little extra. Dual deep cycle batts, 2 x water tanks, 6" heavy duty chassis, checkerplate, 150ltr 3 way fridge, etc, etc..you know what I mean all the essentials you need for 'ruff'n it
)
Anyway enough from us for now, hope to see you out n about some time.
Tango & Grae...Still out there:)
