These are a coupe of shots of the bus, after it was painted, and the trailer loaded with the old Suzy.

Thanks TI,
I have plenty of places to, I am always being told where. Unfortunately at the moment we are that popular, that we have lots of people queuing up to see us. We are that popular that they keep inviting us to come back and see them even months ahead, they even ring and send messages, to check up we haven't forgotten them.
We are hoping that the current run will end soon and we will be back to quarterly visits, which will allow us to get away for shorter trips.
At the moment though our forward planning is in the hand of others.

Coolabah,
is that the tree or the brand of esky? the beauty of the tree is that it comes free with the shade, the esky is great but you have to get the model that refills itself, I haven't found that model yet, but I believe it is out there some where, may be it is similar to the magic coffee table in the ad, that cleans itself every night, no matter how much junk he piles on it.
it is not apparent in the photos, but there is not much room left on the roof there are 4 x 120w panels feeding the 3 x 100ah house batteries, and 2 x 50w that feed the 24v starter batteries as a standby. to take care of Justin. Since going back to an evil bay PWT regulator, a couple of years back, to replace the various brands of MPPT, have had no problems with power.

The barbecue that I purchased at Aldi is a Coolabab.

They are cunning with their brand names aren't they, just a slight spelling change and often in the middle, that takes care of the fact the most people read the first and last letter and a quick scan of the letter and the required word is added in to what is read so the brand name is immediately familiar. There was a line of cheap rubbish electronic gadgets with the brand name Shrap, unless you looked closely you were certain you had bought a Sharp brand what ever, very clever marketing.
