After discussions with our new friends, Peter and Sue,  here at Warburton we have decided to look at fibreglass built vans. Peter has designed and built caravans for years and his knowledge is excellent. They have a Seachange Van, model 595. It has all the features we want. He went over the Van from head to toe explaining what to look for and what not to. He designed a number of their models.

We are still deciding to go single axle or double. Again we need to look at other brands in April 2016 when we head to Cairns and Brisbane. For the same price of hybrids we can get a bigger Van, same features. Yes the weight will be more but not much more and it suits what we are want to explore the country over the next 10 years. We are in no rush when traveling. We were considering hybrids such as lifestyle etc but they would be too cramped and having a mattress that bends in half is not what we want. Time will tell but we are getting close to the design and style we want. Gee I am 55 this year, I need some comfort.  ;D

One thing I am sure off. If they the GTM of the van gets near 1900kg I would not consider single axle. A little more leeway  with the criusemaster type independant but the load rating on two wheels and tyres is just getting up there more so when you start droping pressures. Since going to a four wheel i find it tows smoother and tows more economically. Only down side is it chews up wet campsites when turning.

Here for a good time, not a long time!
