Our Touring Past

Hi, thanks for the reply. I found the same, thats why I was chasing used. A friend was wrecking a van and I grabbed the floor. One large piece of ply that I cut my profile from. My problem has been finding another floor piece to cut the second piece. PS, Finding a old chassis in sound order is also ...

Hi, I have been planning a teardrop for a while now and its time to start. I have made a full size profile from a caravan floor. What I am after is a sheet of ply 3/8" thick and 10'x5'. Anyone got a floor from a wrecked van I could cut that size from?

Hi, Still chasing parts, please let me what you have.

Hi, We are looking for a van for 2 and a dog. Our budget is tight, our drive has a steep pinch so tail dragging is a problem. Looking around I seen a 1961 Quest, it has a upsweep at the rear great for bad drives. Are there other vans with this idea?

Sounds better with each reply, although I can't match Reddo's blurb. We haven't been away for decades and its time to venture out.

Sounds good, 2 replies and both positive. Need to find a van for the dog trips, would be easier than a camper.

OK thanks, sounds fare enough.

Hi, We would like to spend some time away now the kids have left but we have a problem with our dog, a Lab. Has anyone had experience with dog friendly parks? We have googled and found there are a fare few but what are they really like. Thanks.

Hi, Can anyone recommend a place to get repairs done, zippers, screens ect. Somewhere between Newcastle and Port Macquarie would be good, I have looked into a few but there has been some poor feedback on them. Thanks Peter.

Good to see it saved, it looks like the inner pieces were ok. It would have been a gentle trip home. I wouldn't mind something like that myself. The one on ebay is good but moneys a bit tight for that one.
