We had planned to leave at 5 after piano lessons. \u00a0Somewhat delayed after the van and ratchet jockey wheel didn’t quite go to plan. \u00a0With Craig’s help we turned it and hitched then. \u00a0Then the electric brakes showed a short. \u00a0Decision was taken to go without after unsuccessfully tracing the fault. \u00a0Oops – the van brakes are locked on. \u00a0Almost 6 so may as well try and further diagnose and wait for Fi.<\/p>\n
Then the good wife has an inspiration! The Sorento was wired up for brakes. \u00a0Quick tow vehicle change over and voila, all good!!<\/p>\n
While being behind a bit we left, then just past Healesville, the Morton’s hit “Nullabor” syndrome with loss of power . \u00a0I think i can i think i can they slowly climbed the hills. \u00a0We know all the good slow vehicle lay over spots as we had regular peak hour stuck behind us.<\/p>\n
Made it though and the Waldron’s feel “grown up” with hot and cold running water, an awning up in minues and tons of room. \u00a0Excellent.<\/p>\n
No 4wding unfortunately as the Prado had tO stay at home and Craig has minimal power.<\/p>\n
Good to iron the kinks out before Cup day, the Murray and the big trip next year.<\/p>\n
Highly recommend U-bute bbq’s! Double butant stove that has a hotplate. Light, compact and cooks for a family!<\/p>\n
Lets hope no more dramas. \u00a0Ask Fi about how to actually plug in 240v leads so the van has more than battery power………<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
