Sensational stuff looking forward to more pics of your adventures congratulations mate

 

[mfexpanda]

well done @Bluey

[Drover]

but the cruiser barely knew it was there towed very well

Might be another story with the Bluey pups and all their stuff let alone the Bluey equipment.............

You must be getting old, what ever happened to "New van, camp in yard first night caper" or was that just me ???????

 

[Smergen]

Hey @Bluey ... Nice work mate!

Van looks great and you and @Crusty181 can be 20' buddies. You can do a group meet to his wharehouse.

Hope you and the fam are keeping sane in these times.

Great to hear mate. We've just returned to Caravanland after enjoying our stint with our CUB. It's not a Jayco, or even an expanda-esque style van so not sure it really belongs on EDU... But it's an older 2010 van (Kingdom Memento), a few dings and bruises but allows us to be a little more comfortable in our adventures.

The Patrol loves it though, and my only regret with the Big Datsun so far is that I didn't own it when we went around the country. No disrespect to The Rock Truck, but this thing is next level.

Hope the fam are well. Need to get @17triton to organise another Beaufort get-together I reckon.

 

[Crusty181]

It would be good at Beaufort but most free weekends are spent in @Crusty181 s warehouse camping indoors lol gets a bit smokey in there when we fire up the 44 gallon drum with a bit of petrol we burn anything he doesn't need

That reminds me, we need some more petrol

 

[Smergen]

That reminds me, we need some more petrol

I've got some. No more diesel here. 98 ok?

 

[1DayIll]

Few pics of winter wonderland light show

I really want to do this.

 

[1DayIll]

Yeh it is very busy with queues everywhere I hear.

 

[Drover]

I wonder how much its changed since we were last there in 1976 ??????? some old slides.....

. .......................................... I liked the boots.....

 

[Drover]

Well the old nag would be in its 60's now but your right the oxygen wasters would take offence.................Nissan Patrol G60 parked in the car park....

@Bluey you'll the find carpet tiles are a great mod. they dramatically changes feel and sound in the van, did ours a couple months ago.

 

[poor but proud]

nice on the feet on a cold morning

 

[1DayIll]

I did the same but cannot get a couple more of the color and really need some. Bunnings seemed to have stopped them.
I think it has made the van warmer and quieter

 

[Drover]

Looks good Bluey, I've been told no carpet allowed in ours, possibly because of dust build up, we tend to find dusty places and the usual million of burrs which is bad enough in the door mat ........... I would have liked some but I have " Mambo" slippers so my tootsies don't get cold ...........

Camped out the back of the Bellbird Ck hotel, and turns out my carpet is pub carpet .... any burrs should vapourise, and your Mambo's would stick to the carpet
