Yes Roachie, you right on most counts. Yes he has one. Yes he is swanning around somewhere but don't know where. No he won't be on shortly. See above.
How was Nurrung?

We spent about 5 weeks or so in May/Jun 05 travelling with BigKidz through the Kimberley. In leiu of the Doc apparently not being around to answer the question directly I'll tell you that their TVan performed well and they had no drama's at all with it. A bit cramped for floorspace at bedtime with 3 kids sleeping on the floor but otherwise good and would be well suited to a couple. Even with the extra bedding for the kids, they would just chuck all the kids stuff on top of their own bed when packed up so it was all pretty easy with no need to fold or pack any of it away. No problems with dust infiltration etc. Almost as good as our Camprite ;-)

Hi Guys! This is the other half of big kidz and believe it or not the Doc is not on holidays but is at WORK!!!!!! ( first full day back after 2 weeks at the beach!!)

With regards to the Tvan, Melissa has done a great job in describing it for me!! We are more than happy with the way it has performed. We have taken it to the Kimberley Region, the Corner Country, Flinders Ranges, The Vic High Country and each time it has just followed along behind the cruiser. It has also done all the top end and centre on a holiday with my inlaws and they loved it. They had tons more room with just the 2 of them. Room was never a problem though really as if we were camped anywhere for 3-4 nights, the kids would pitch their own tent. As we do all our living outside, the inside is just for sleeping! I guess it depends on where you are camping...the high country in the pouring rain was not much fun, but the Kimberley...now you are talking the best camping around by far (in my limited experience!!!)

Love the kitchen on it, the new model is even better, the staff at Track are really friendly and helpful, so I guess you could say we are happy!!

Hope that helps!

Jen
