Collecting our van

---

24 May 2012

Collected our van from Desert Sky in Adelaide and drove home the 160 kms through a 5 kilometre three lane wide traffic jam and some welcome rain. Welcome rain, but WHY the day we collected our new toy?

Our truckie friend Shane was waiting to back it into our difficult driveway and supposedly into our carport. Despite having taken soil out to ensure it would fit, it is still 3 inches too high, the show special of an air-conditioner caused the height problems. We have the highest car port around, 3 metres - more excavation to go.

We have one week to get all the stuff from our dining room setttled into the van and vehicle before taking off to Queensland via the Barrier Highway. Today it is cold, wet and miserable. No work getting done here.

First Viewing
All looks very compact and comfortable. Jim's comment "Is there room for Graham's long legs in the van." The beauty is the size stops you from doing a Judith and taking far more clothes than are needed. My downfall would be books. I can see the need for a Kindle or other e-reader looming large. Look forward to lots of updates as you travel around. I'm turning green.

Can you set up so we can read comments from other, thats half the fun. Also! results of my brain-spurt re: fitting it under Carport Roof.......think twice about removing soil, how about raising roof line, that way you wont be in a puddle when it rains........Gee I'm smart. Silver Kestrel No 2

Finally worked it out.
It seems I have to review all your comments before they will display for everyone to see. I have now done that. Haven't time to do more tweeking at this stage, out to lunch, but will get the tow vehicle up and check out the map situation as soon as I can.
