Wendy quit work @ 7 years ago when she moved from Melbourne to join me in Gippsland, about 2 years ago she officially retired.
I'm presently on leave; with enough leave for another 120 shifts at which time I'll quit work & retire too. So we have lots of time to do things (but still very little gets done.
)We purchased a Winjana 5th wheeler from Toowoomba and were there for the entire construction time. Had to be up there as with T1's guidance I had constructed a 400Ah LiFePO4 pack that was delivered and in place during construction (built into the van). The tug is an Iszuz D-Max and they seem well matched (I just need more reversing practice).
Besides vanning we also enjoy using our timeshare both domestic & international. We do cycle (not often enough), a bit of walking and maybe next summer get back into our kayaks.
To answer your Q re Bruce being the houseboat fella Yes he is the one (also the boss here) Hope you participate & enjoy it here. 
Paul posts under another name on the CF but I'll let him tell you what that is if he wants everyone here to know
