Gidday,
Just a quick introduction to the site. I'm Des (Spud), live in beautiful Tassie for the last ten years prior to that Far West NSW. I am a long time Adventure Motorbike Camper. Have ridden to most places of this fine country. I retired early about 12 months ago and bought myself a new Amarok Highline with all the necessary camping and 4x4 bling. My intention was to buy a hybrid van at the same time but I either couldn't find my wants or the price was excessive. However, by chance came across a small independent builder in Newcastle and will collect my Van next Friday. Comes fully kitted out for my independent off road adventures and am very excited. Besides camping I have two beautiful grown Children and wife and a dog called Ellsie who has been s my constant companion since I got her 12 months ago. Thanks for sharing your stories and I have learnt a lot already
Cheers Spud

His spec sheet is little out of date as my Van comes with a 2 Ton Cruisemaster suspension and some other bits and bobs like Solar, inverter and ducted air but you'll get the basics. Really impressive young Aussie bloke having a fair dinkum go. Did his time with a caravan company on the central coast of NSW which is well known but I can't recall there name at the moment.
cheers

Hi John,
Thanks for the welcome and I see your a fellow statesman. My first trip to try out the set up will be the Western Explorer so should give it a gentle introduction.

nice looking camper, perfect for Tassie with the lack of canvas. Enjoy the Western Explorer, I really enjoyed our drive along there when we did it, stunningly beautiful country it is.

That's a brilliant area for a test run Des, have a good look at some of the coastal tracks out there, you don't have to be a diehard 4wder to go part of the way between some of the access points. Pieman Heads for example ;D
