Hi all,
My wife, my Staffie and I will shortly be commencing a new life in a 5th wheeler towed by a new Isuzu dMax 3 litre diesel 4wD and would greatly appreciate any constructive tips regarding the do's or don'ts, vital equipment requirements etc.
The 5th wheeler is new and on the face of it appears to be quite comprehensively equipped. At this time we have acquired a 2kVA Honda generator, quality compressor, easy plug puncture repair kit, UHF twin handset radio, under awning matting, camp chairs and table, thermal cooker and all the necessary crockery and cutlery.
We are contemplating an Aussie Foldaway boat (much the same as a PortaBote) which will be carried in a custom built "sleeve" fitted to the underside of the 5th wheeler. Fishing rods will be stored in a lockable 15cm pvc pipe attached to the rear alongside and under the bumper. The 5th wheeler is not an off-roader so I don't foresee us incurring any damage to the underside.
I have good sense of humour so don't hold back - my enthusiasm is dent proof.
Thanks in anticipation of the usual quality ExploreOz input.
No doubt we will catch up some time somewhere out there and I can apply some dents of my own.
Cheers
George
