Todays plan is to Drive from Benger to Tauton Park near Cowaramup where we will meet up with Bruce and Gina for a few days and giving us time to get ourselves into the routine of living on the road.
After months of planning moving belongings into storage and living in the caravan parked in the shed for the last week and a half the day has finally arrived we are heading off. Today's plan is to drive to Mandurah get the caravan serviced then head to Benger for the night and catch up with Steve, Jen and the kids.
With only 5 days to go we have moved from the house over the weekend and into the caravan. As much as I am looking forward to traveling moving house is not high on my list of enjoyable tasks. The though of all that packing, throwing out old things, selling the stuff you don't think you will need again and finding a place to store what you want to keep is not that appealing to me. It would have been easier to leave everything in it and lock the door but since we were relying on rent from our house it was our best option.
Every tool-mans dream and every partners dread... You can hear the conversation now "Whats wrong with it as it is...?" "But I can make it better..." Of course the company who built the thing spent literally hundreds and thousands of dollars on development of their designs and production process but hey what would they know, I can improve it.
Since were going to on the road for an extended period the Caravan will literally be our home. We needed to make sure we make the right decision and enjoy being in the space otherwise evertime we entered the van we would be reminded of our bad choice. Having said that it doesn't have to be perfect just functional, reliable, comfortable.
