Pics of the Isuzu

These pics are a few years old but nothing much has changed.

There's an awning on both sides now. The newer one (from mid last year) is on the driver's side. 

The table top has been replaced because it was a bit bowed.

Same fridge but the steps aren't there any more but they could be screwed back into place if you want to use the bunk.

It's got a tow bar now.

Has had seat covers and a dash mat since we owned it.

Range Rovers have been the default choice for affluent hunters who seek off-road supremacy and luxury while on expedition for decades."

Why not a caravan?

This really says it all:


This doesn't happen in a 4x4 motorhome.

Other 4x4 Motorhomes

The makers of Wotthahellizat have made a list of other 4x4 (or better) motorhomes.

Look at the price on this!

Just wandering around looking for information on replacing the dual rear wheels with a single wheel and I found this ad. This vehicle is a couple of years older than the motor home with about half the kilometres on it.

Off to inskip again

We camped at Inskip Point again. The Zu handled the beach effortlessly.

Camping in the Zu at Inskip Point

The motorhome did well on the flat sand around Inskip Point. The only problem we had was getting back up off the beach. We don't really have the raw power of the F100 to just charge off the beach. I went to talk to the Bridgestone Tyre Service dudes who set the trucks up that service Frazer Island. He thought that the dual tyres on the rear were probably the problem as the inside tyres have to cut a second track through the sand. I was seeing the front tyres dig in so I was looking to replace them. His idea was that the front tyres were working well but they can't drag the back tyres through. Between the front wheels digging and the inside rear tyres dragging too much power is being lost.

The unfortunate thing is that replacing the tyres to allow singles on the rear is very expensive. Suitable tyres are $600 each!
