Hello everyone,
I have inherited my father's treasured Hiace campervan that he kept in mint condition. I am really keen to use it and discover Australia as he did - for as long as I can afford to run it.
But I am a complete novice (I've never camped) and would appreciate learning from your experience.
My first questions are:
The car has been stored in
Adelaide for a year - and has not been driven at all during that time.
Does anyone know who, in
Adelaide, could show me about the batteries, tanks, how to set it up, driving tips etc before I drive it to NSW.
The other issue at the moment is that I live in
Sydney with no off-street
parking and am looking for somewhere undercover to keep it like my dad did - but need to keep costs to a minimum after having to pay a fair bit to get in on the road. I don't want to sell it yet if I can help it.
Looking forward to any tips
ZEDjay

Hi ZED:
You may also have some luck checking out some of those storage
places for your van, and possibly the car. I have no idea on prices, but am aware of people who store many large and interesting things in them. Friend of
mine had all his household effects in one when he was moving/building and there seemed to be plenty of room. Brambles is one organisation that comes to mind that offer "storage solutions".
Good luck, and enjoy your travels.
