Welcome back to Oz Dingo.

Welcome back Ding

hope you find what your after

Hiya Shane, I'll ask HWMNBO tonight if he can.

cheers
Wendy

Thanks fellas!! Its damned fine to be back too by gar! I mean Americas pretty damned good a place the people are great the foods brilliant and the country side is bloody awesome... but man theres a lot of yanks over there!!!

Seriously it was brilliant just the ticket to get my life sorted and back on track... all goals achieved!!!

That would be brilliant Wendy!!! its this one

Dont mind a nice long drive over have had a yarn to young Josh whos never been out of West Aus and hes all for it... will be a great opportunity to show him a good slice of your side of this place eh?

Heyyyyy! Yer back. Been a while Sire.

Gidday ya sawn of excuse for a moustache life support system.
Leave the Prado parked in WA and just buy a cheap long wheel based van of some sort and set up a camp in it. Come East, check out the joint and check out the cheap full on campers. Anyhoo, now yer back from the land of the Septic Tanks yer can relax and come talk to real people.

Trouble with a converted bus pulling a trailer with a car on it is lousy fuel consumption. Think of 4 or 5 mpg.

Better off towing a 5th wheeler behind an effie on gas.
The effie is your drive around wheels too.
And you will have far more living room with a decent 5th wheeler as you don't lose the first 6 feet or so to the driving compartment, which is a lot out of a bus.

Ding don't by that one you showed Wendy you'll regret it

Noisey up front inside cab motor easy to work on some times, parts now APIA to get

helpfull bunch of buggars arent yer! Now I dont mind "helpfull suggestions" and "donts" but man if yer gotta do it show me an alternative!!!

I like room... I have to live in this for at least 12 months WITH my 14 year old sprog both of us have gear (think guitars computers bikes clothes tools etc) we must have and space we need hence looking at a larger type "home"... now Im up for ideas on spacial area usage but I cant see me and my young fella being even remotely happy in a small unit... and I dont want to break the bank (did you note the finance up there echidna ol son?? I havent seen a 5th wheeler with or without a effy for less than 100K and thats a long way from what Im hoping to allocate for this... dont intend to put all me eggs in one basket... I can go a little higher simply dont want to as its my nest egg I will then be raiding)

Anyway the age was one of the bothering points with that one Wheelin ol mate... Im starting to get that horrid feeling Im back to the old original idea of buying a sodding bus and doing it up?... maybe get or someone to do the basics of the wiring and gas fittings and do the rest as I wander along... damned if I bloody know!!

All I know is
1) I cant live down here PERIOD
2) Josh and I intend to live in Broome
3) The cheepest best way to live in Broome is either caravan or mobile home

so ideas mates IDEAS!!!... dont just swat me out of the water without showing a liferaft eh?

Gidday yer dopey numbnutted bald headed drop bear Chris!

Welcome back, young fella. I note with some interest that you haven't started writing with a 'merican accent - that's good.

soth

Ding, join the CMCA. They have a good market place on their site. www.cmca.net.au

Their insurance also is the cheapest for the best coverage.

Ok price is your biggest hurdle and staring from scratch building and renovating takes time.

1 Front engine is noisy usually no luggage storage bins some had/have a rear boot

2 Under floor is good but can be noisy and APIA to work on as access is from outside and through the floor. leaves little room for side storage may have rear boot for storage

3 Rear engine easier to work on usually gives a flat floor all but the rear section

Breaks should be full air many older Bedfords and Mercs pre mid 70's were hydrologic or air of hydrologic some operators who were keen did do conversions to full air.

Unless your extremely lucky and find a decent Merc, MAN or a Scania or Volvo for a decent price with big bins thee are fuel savers where as GM's gussel it.

Welcome back W.D. I hope yiou find what ya' looking for Mate. Alas, a cheap diesel is something most of us dream about. Diesel Doctors have meters attached to their tool boxes.
