Transmission is a manual, he told me to get the gas engine that I would enjoy it more than the diesel

Andrew,

I see you're into camping, which I also enjoy as a great way to decompress. However, my approach is a bit different.

Very nice but, with respect, that isn't camping. I also have a more substantial option but it is still camping although some purists still disagree even with my option.

And your bus wouldn't last 30 seconds in the tracks I like to take to my camping spots.

That's a sweet looking rig. Off the shelf, or custom made?

Andrew,

You're absolutely right. What we do is NOT camping, and my bus at 44K lbs. can't go anywhere not firmly packed or relatively level. What you have is a very nice rig!

The shot I posted in jest, was when we were living in it full-time. We lived in that bus for an entire year while we were building a new house. We just moved into the new house last May, but still have and love the bus.

Off the shelf, it has two side by side queen size bed with inner spring mattresses of the top, and another area on the ground under the second queen size platform which easily fits a large single foam mattress. Then a large high open area under cover with sewn in floor and an awning out the front which can also be enclosed with screen walls.

Independent heavy duty offroad coil spring suspension, stainless steel kitchen which can stay on the tailgate, or be moved anywhere. Fridge slide with 40 litre fridge. Two 4kg gas bottles. 9 Jerry cans. Solar array and deep cycle battery and 12v power it lets everywhere and bead head lights. Heavy duty canvas all round. Long tool box on the side and spare mounted tub axle. The solar array doubles as a boat loader and there is an outboard motor mount on the front of the trailer.

I think they are only Available in Australia. It is called a Trak Shak.

That's what I was afraid of. It looked too outback functional for the wimpy trailer park crowd in this country.

Nice camper trailer, AnD3rew. You could certainly see a lot of the country with that.

We finally gave up tenting and bought a 23' caravan 3 years ago. It's great - 2 80 litre tanks, solar power as well as gas and mains power, all the lighting's LED so low consumption, so we can go places besides your traditional trailer parks (but nowhere near what you'd be able to do!)

Looks like a hoot!

Sorry, yes I got the joke and giggled about it for a while, but I could t resist having a dig back.
