Well as you can tell from the blog title, I’m a bit stoked as we got our internal fit out in this weekend. It’s looks great and I’m happy to report that the bike box doesn’t look monstrous at all, (was I concerned, maybe a little lol) and the big Continue Reading
Blog 19 – Awning and Winch on
As we approach the pointy end of our build, about 8 weeks to take off, we went through our checklist of jobs. Even though we are ticking off, we continue to add new items and the list seems to remain at a status quo. While we have the physical evidence Continue Reading
Blog 18 – It’s a Roof Rack kind of Week
This week has been much different to last, with it raining most of the week, I picked up a crappy virus and Fred has worked night shifts. When thinking about the blog and considering what I’d chat about this week, I was thinking there wasn’t much to say but in Continue Reading
Blog 17 – Ticking Boxes
Firstly, Happy Birthday Freddy! Tomorrow marks his last revolution around the sun in his fifties. This hasn’t slowed him down though! What a productive week we have had, finishing off bits and pieces and tackling some bigger projects. The last mudguard has been attached, “Back Rack Man’s” lights are wired, Continue Reading
Blog 16 – Central Tyre Inflation System
I have mentioned in previous blogs that we purchased a Central Tyre Inflation System for De Trucksta and promised that I would dedicate a blog to it and the installation. With this type of vehicle we decided that it was a no brainer to allocate some extra dollars for this Continue Reading

Blog 14 – The Beginnings of Power
It has been quite a bitsa week – bits of this and bits of that with a few major things as well. Sometimes we reflect on the week just gone and think we don’t seem to have achieved much but then I begin to list it and realise that things Continue Reading
Blog 13 – We Now Have a Habitat Box
I left you last week with 3 of the 4 walls up. Before we can put the back wall in, we cut a whole in the passenger side wall to allow access to the inside of the box. This will be where the door will be fitted but at this Continue Reading
Blog 12 – False Floor Prep
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog and a lot has been going on. I flew to Melbourne and spent a week visiting the kids and a real highlight was having a 2 night sleepover with the grandy, Lincoln. Ol’ Grammy G and Lincoln were left to Continue Reading
Blog 11 – The First Floor Is On!
We’ve had another steady week chipping away at various jobs. On Tuesday we travelled down to Brisbane to pick up our shower. What a day for it, it poured rain most of the day and Brisbane had record rainfall. We weren’t to be deterred though and were lucky enough Continue Reading
