Re: Espie solar power house
We looked at the Explorer at a fairly recent RV show and thought the design and finish was first class. If money was not an object, the 6 wheeler wouId be our choice.

I saw one a few weeks ago going across the freeway bridge over the River Murray just outside of Murray Bridge.
I'm sure he/she was stopping on the other side of the bridge to change undies........
Can only imagine how the tyres would wear?
Yea, why would ya go anywhere on a windy day, even the Luxo Barge didnt like windy days...
Dont get the comment about tyres...??? They have a suspension upgrade to 3500 k. Lovells springs and shocks...

Geez Vik, you agonised over what to buy for so long! Hope you get an easy sale & don't lose too much on it. 3000km plus a T1 power set up. Someone will be very happy with it.
Good luck with the new one ........... but I don't advise trying to do what the one in your top pic appears to be doing with one!
