Yeah, looks good!
Need to be carefull with this type of RV Home, even converted buses. Was sitting in a very full camp once, and saw a mobile home come in opposite, the old bloke got out with is missus and he set it all up while she fixed up inside. The power went on, the awning went out, out came a table and chairs, water on, kettle whistled after about an hour of frigging around with with stands, jacks n' stuff. Looked good too, all set up. Anyhow they sat down to a cuppa, the old girl went inside, came out with the sponge cake on a plate, home sweet home. After the cuppa n' cake mum said something with started a bit of discussion, which resulted in the whole lot being packed up again so they could drive the 2km to town, cause she wanted to have a look in the shops. When they came back and hour or two later, the space had been taken by others and they had to drive off somewhere else in the approaching dark to find another camp..... somewhere.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
