Busso Shakedown

[paulie484]

As I write this 2 of the kids go to sleep [the non teenagers] had a Fab weekend trying the van out down in Busso 2.5 hours south of Perth

No big dramas, one just trying to get hot water working and all sorted by finding a switch not flicked

Brake controller playing up but should be OK once back home and reviewed

Great spot albeit little quiet, 4 seasons park in Busselton, takes dogs so was a good choice. Normally down here triathlon racing so good to holiday instead

Will post some pics later but being first trip away in sizeable investment and worrying whether we had done the right thing I can honestly say yes we have...and bring on 4 weeks time til we do it again

On reflection (over one or three beers) its the best decision we've made in a long time

Plus got a drive thru spot...gotta be happy with that

Life's too short peoples....go for it !!!

Cheers

Paul

Paulie,

Great that the shakedown went well.

And like yourselves - buying a van and spending quality family time is the best thing we have done for a long time.

Cheers,

Rohan

Didn't really get any touristy Busselton shots, too busy Expanda dreaming !!

Cheers

Did you get that jockey wheel with the Expanda Paulie or bought it seperatly?

 

[paulie484]

Bought it from Martin's Trailer parts here in Perth

Did go in to get a tube version but they said don't do them anymore and have replaced with these hard tyre ones

I need extra height due to the suspension...std one just looked wrong
