News now saying that its "not suspicious" very sad for two little kids, sounds like they may have been caught up in something bad.
your not wrong @Crusty181 so very sad.................
Our 6:00 pm news says they have established a crime scene at the site as the father told a mate a few days back that he wanted to kill himself.
I hate the fact that some people who don't want to live, feel they have to take somebody else with them especially kids.

Just can't believe it especially considering the timing of this thread and how it has made us all take stock of our own safety. I'm sure @Holden_man, that this will hit home with you and your family and will reinforce how lucky your parents were.
What a tragedy for that poor family
unfortunately @Wanda these guys were living in the Van as a house - not travelling
yes @Crusty181 it will always just be "chatter" on a forum - but it only has to spark 1 interest - like whats happened to @Holden_man 's mum & dad, and the changes that alot of people have now made to their Vans.......... it is not a lost cause
however
be very careful with what you wish for - you may just get it - and some
making a basic design feature should be up to the manufacturer (and maybe with some pushing from the public) if its legislated,
like the problems people are now having with their Fridges & annexes.......
a good idea gets screwed up
I cannot "like" any of these posts, as I feel very deeply for those concerned
sorry, I like what has been said though............

Glad it looks like working out for them @Holden_man did they have a floor model to help them back on the horse.
Wish them the best mate..
Wish them the best mate..
give your Mum & Dad a big hug from all of us here on the forum mate
and good luck with the new adventures in the new Van

Good to see the incident hasn't put them off their dream @Holden_man !!
