100 days

[Mark73]

Been enjoying reading posts since stumbling across your site a while ago.
Getting ready to head off for 100 days from melbourne up the middle to the red centre on to Darwin kakado Broome down the west coast nullabor and home.
Taking the 3 kids aged 13 11 and 8.
I've got a 18.57-6 OB which I bought new in 2010. (My third Jayco)
I had a swan first (recon they should have a warning sticker saying you might as well buy something bigger straight away!!)
Sold the swan and bought a 16.49 OB and on the second outing kids saying "his on my side she's on my side" while sharing the double bed I said to my wife I knew I should have bought the 18.57 with bunks.
So I sold the 16ft after having owned it less than 100 days.
Love the 18.57 kids with their own beds is the key!
Towing with my Prado.
Can't wait 35 days till we pull out for the 100 day trip, almost organised and ready to go.

Welcome @Mark73, I'm hearing you about the bed situation.....we used to wake up to arguments.
Enjoy your trip mate!

Thanks @Burnsy I also like not having to chuck on the trackies and walk the kids over to the amenities block in the middle of the night
