Lil went to a car boot sale today and didn't do too well, but she is also having a garage sale so hopefully we will get rid of a lot of gear.Most of the motorbike gear is gone, the washing machine is gone and the other big items are listed for sale on various sites.
We are now mapping our route and calculating the cost of fuel. I think we will be heading up the coast and spending a great deal of time exploring the places we have not seen.
I'm not really a beach person as I don't sunbake or swim, however my new 12ft surf rod is going to get a hammering and Hamish and I will be on the beach fishing and crabbing.
Ive mounted a fishing rod holder to the camper so I can carry the rods without them banging around in the trailer.
The trailer is beginning to look like an adventurous bit of kit now with all these add ons.
We have bitten the bullet and bought a compressor fridge too. We have our 3-way fridge which cost us $299 from Aldi and so far its been amazing.
When living full time on the road we have been thinking about food storage and our Aldi fridge will be our general fridge for everyday and the new 45lt Evakool will be our freezer.
Lil is great at buying in bulk and saving heaps. The vacuum sealer she bought recently will be put to great use! She is also a very good cook so the menu will be very varied as she experiments with her camp oven cooking.
I will get around to posting up a list of our gear, what we use and the general cost.
There is a great deal of gear snobbery and debate over Engel vs. Waeco and the very heated Landcruiser vs. Patrol argument.
We are not made of money and cant justify spending $1800 on a fridge. Our home fridge was about $400 and its now 7 years old...........
We will be aiming for a very tight budget on our gear and travelling. We will see the things we want to see as memories are priceless........
Hopefully we can give an alternative lifestyle without the big brand names.......
I'm Scottish ........ did you guess that already?... !!!!!!
