2009 12.37 build up

[Dingo193]

Well ive got some sad news .The 12.37 is a write off, got 4 inches of water through it . It also looks like ive lost the Prado as well.The water came up to that height in 30 min eventhough the van is raised 250mm. So I have a brand new Aussie Traveller annex for sale 6months old . Only sidewall has been used. Wall removed before water got too high. Its the modern two tone grey and white stripe. 2300 high at caravan side. So if you have a 12.37 and want parts I have a heep of add ons ive taken off.

Dingo,
That is disappointing to here after all your efforts in getting the van set up as you wanted it, and your new Prado, Bugger.
I have sent you a message as interested in some of your 'canvas' attachments and parts.

Freshwater creek came up and over in 30 min. Was a wave bet it was a dam release. When will they learn.

Hope you have Insurance to cover at least most of your losses.
Will your car insurance cover the loss in these sort of circumstances?
Hope so.

Very sad news indeed. Ive just finished looking at all you did to your van. I hope things work out for you.

Are you going to get something similar Dingo?

 

[Dingo193]

Hi Brenton. We bought the 12.37 to fit in our garage. As we sold up no longer need to be as small. LOOKING AT A 16FT JOURNEY but double bed is too short for me. The east wesr bed in the 17 journey is great but dont need the bunks. Came accross the 15ft Newage Bilby.. but havent seen one to look at thoroughly. So we wait...Quite frankly been a bit of a traumatic intro to Cairns.

Hope everything works out for you.
