T1, are you saying that now, Rustic is no longer a viable project? Whatever the answer, you guys need a bit of a change of luck. You both deserve it.
At the moment, no, Margaret wants something ready to drive away tomorrow .... I explained that such a machine is not available and never will be, because she has things she wants and things she doesn't want .... and so do I .... and often they are on different pages ... so we aren't on the same page at the moment
Rustic will possibly end up as a mobile accommodation rather than a motorhome, yet to see, the length compared to the house yard is the catch .... but I'm steadily working on a compromise that might solve that issue, a second driveway to access the side of the garage I've been working on so the motorhome would not have to come up the driveway and turn in front of the house and park somewhere that would block her view ... fair enough I guess,
and she is starting to realise she can't have the:
separate shower and toilet
dinette table and chairs
queen size bed
captain's chairs
a well appointed kitchen ... set out the way she would like
plenty of cupboard space .....
and something we both want:
rear engine
wide body
New decent sized household fridge/freezer
and what I want:
Enough batteries to free camp without an issue
hybrid electric drive
plenty of solar
under body bins to store all my stuff and the chairs, BBQ and all the outside living requirements
and
be powerful enough to tow either the Kombi or Jimny or Blade
all in something less than 8 mtrs long so it can fit somewhere in the yard as it is now
T1 Terry
