Back from Esperance with the rig. Maria won't let me call it Thunderbox 6 or DunnyRoaming, and its a bit bouncy on the rougher roads, so the Tigger Rig it is...
Its a 27' vision in beige inside and out, but comfortable and spacious and we've lived in it for the last 4 nights. It also wobbles a bit every time Maria turns over in bed - she really does need to learn to be a delicate flower
Tow vehicle is a Nissan Navara 3.0 turbo diesel which is about as different from the Boxster as you can get. Maria used to struggle getting into a low slung sports car, now she struggles climbing up into this. Never satisfied. And yes, that is her practising her reversing technique against a shovel tied to a washing line - I figured that would be cheaper to repair if she got carried away.
She did later hitch it up properly, and towed it out of Vicki's farm and to the end of the dirt road, then I got to drive the rest of the way back to Perth and reverse it onto Harry and Jenny's front garden after a few attempts. Should piss the neighbours off for a few days while we stock it up
We managed most things on the journey up from Esperance - road trains going the other way don't affect it at all, and I didn't notice the one overtaking us until he came level with the drivers window- rear view mirrors are not big enough to see round the beast. Even managed a U-turn in the cemetery overflow parking when I missed the turning for Narrogin....
we'll do a video of the inside in daylight sometime and post
