We are about to embark on a trip from the
gold coast and end up at either
Darwin or
Alice Springs. We would like to fly
home and have someone bring our Prado Grande and Windsor Rapid (twin axle 17.5 foot) back to the
Gold Coast. We want to find a couple of experienced caravaners to bring the rig from either of these two
places home to the
Gold Coast. We will give the couple a month to come
home and stipulate that only bitumen roads be driven on. Ideally we would like to have in return a vehicle to drive whilst the rig is brought
home. No payment is offered for this service. The van itself is 2 years old and the prado is four. The van is airconditioned, has a small hot water system in it and a
toilet and shower. . It has an awning and a annexe (havent decided if we are taking the annexe). The prado has a Waco freezer in the back. We carry a honda 2kva generator with us for out of the way camps. There is 180 litres of water carrying capacity. The start date for the return journey is the 25th of July so the rig should be returned by the end of August 2008. References are required as are current driver licenses. We had a couple who were going to do it for us but their situation changed. If we cannot find the appropriate couple we will do a return journey. This is a genuine request so only genuine replies are greatly appreciated. If you put your phone number on any replies I will phone you.
John.

I actually think its a great idea , for the fact that these guys are willing enough to put faith in fellow members of this
forum and secondly they are offering a setup free of charge that someone would have to pay at least $800 + a week for - and then you guys jump on them and even ask for free fuel ? There giving you a month to get back -- not a few days - so its a driving holiday for yourself and family - not just a transport job
Im sure they are clever enough to know what pitfalls there may be , so they do not need to be spoon fed in those matters. Clearly this
forum is full of Pessimists that only think of themselves and feel the need to force upon others there
views of life
I for one think this is a very Generous offer from sweetcaroline & co and wish them all the best of luck in finding a suitable , responsible couple to take up this excellent opportunity
