Brisbane and Van Buying

We stayed in Brisbane on Braedyn and Krishas last night at the Capitol Apartments. They were centrally located and really large.
The next morning we took them to the airport for there flight to Thailand were they had 3 weeks before flying to Dubai to see one of Braedyns school mates and then London.In Thailand they had a dive course and a boat course of 5 days booked so would be kept busy. Lloyd and I tried to be strong while at the airport but a few tears were shed as it could be some time before we see them again

Our mission now was to decide on a caravan, we had seen quite a few  but not the right one for our budget. Once again we poured over the net and looked at 4 in one day. We finally found the one and arranged to pick it up after it had a gas cert and road worthy done. We bought a 20ft 2004 Roadstar Grange. It has independent suspension which is required and 2 solar panels with a awning and even a built in Baby Webber bbq.The layout was what we both liked too with the shower toilet in the middle of the van. It also has a nice timber finish on the walls which is not surprising after our boat and house.It also has large windows with a L shaped diner area,even a TV which we probably won't use much. We are pretty pleased with it and with a few Lloyd mod cons it will suit us very well.
