Our New Van -

Roy really wasn't happy about us doing the trip around the "back paddock" with a single axle van.  On 2 April 2002, we upgraded to a tandem axle Hitch Hika caravan
I was sad to see the Eclipse go - we had so much fun in the short (11.5 months) we had owned it.  However, we have ordered a deep cell battery and also an annex with the new van - so... "onward and upward"...
Here are some photos of the Hitch Hika -

We decided to stay with "pop-top" but this time, rear-door entrance. We particularly liked the way the tail lights had been set in. Where Swanny shall, no doubt, spend most of her "off road" time.
Entrance to the van dinette area Fridge is set over the wheel hubs
This time I get a microwave and an oven. I prefer this dinette layout - gives us more floor space. Being set over the wheel hub, the fridge is raised - makes it easier to access.
Bed room area
Bed set-up same as the other van - but a wee bit more length this time.
