The Sherwood took us to the South Coast in February for a week. It was a good to test the new vehicle and to go back to Suncamper with anything that needed changing or adding. We had had new power points added before the trip and were glad we did. A double power point near the table worked well for computer and charging the cameras. The fridge is smaller than the one we had in the Sydney, I've had to buy less freezer food and remember there is less cupboard space for extra food. We did ok for the week but the next trip will be three to four months.
I need another grab rail near the top of the steps as I enter and that will be added before next trip. John also is having some large hooks put in his roomy tool box on the back of the vehicle. The vehicle comes with two solar panels which will power the batteries when we free camp.
The single beds worked out ok. It's a lot easier for us to get out during the night. The downside is there is an extension to the end of the bed that if left extended during the day would cut down the bench space. If we were short people we could probably do without the extension. We bought cotton sheets for summer but will get flannelette ones to go with the thick quilts for winter. The temperatures in western NSW in the winter can drop to minus Celsius in some areas. We did have a deisel heater added for warmth if we are free camping as we intend to do. We won't be doing a lot of free camping as we like our creature comforts especially our air con in the hot weather. The caravan parks will still have our presence for much of the trip.
