That "trolley" would still be a tight squeeze in a few of the aisles in Coles.
Maybe "Ninety" or even a nice little 80 inch, on a trailer behind the motorhome would be a good grocery fetcher.
The Suzuki Vitara's are very popular for this sort of thing, especially for towing them via an "A-frame," most like because the transmission has a "neutral" position for towing.
I recall once seeing a Clipper motorhome where a Moke was carried in the belly cargo area. The Moke roof was folded down then it was winched up sideways on a purpose built ramp.
Cheers, Mick.

My BIL and SIL went over to USA for a few months holiday and purchased this while they were there. They toured about in it for a several weeks, then they had it shipped back to Australia (Perth), then drove it from there to where they live in the Riverland of South Australia.

SubscriberTook Chucky for a good run today, around 200KM round trip to Ballarat for a Military Vehicle display for the Ballarat RSL's 100th Anniversary.
A nice little display of vehicles - which I forgot to take any pictures of, so you'll have to wait for Mick to upload some.
Chucky was on a mission today and I had trouble holding him back. Trying to maintain 90 (GPS) at 3000 RPM proved difficult and it was more like 3150 and 95 some of the time. Micks 6x6 - admittedly cold - was a spec in the rear view mirrors heading up the Pentland Hills.
Chucky did give me some grief when we went to head home - click, no start... Thought it may be the battery for a start but a jump from the 6x6 proved ineffective. It looked like the starter may have died, and a quick push from some willing (or not) volunteers had him running again.
As we headed out the carpark, I put the indicator on, and got nothing but a strong smell of burning wire. Micks view of all this was me jumping from the 101 - fine extinguisher in hand crapping my dacks...
Nothing was found and I made it safely home without using the indicators - and only managed to **** one person off doing this.
So, a few tweaks and it will hopefully be right for next Sunday's run, and the Sunday after - it's a busy time for car shows at the moment.
That shouid see him fully shaken down and ready for Corowa - that's a 1000KM week, so need to get the bugs sorted now.

SubscriberYeah, I will be. Just got to have some stern words to that useless sparky that rewired the whole vehicle.
Oh, wait...

It's probably just "Lord Lucas" intervening!
Remember, he didn't invent "darkness" he just stumbled on it by accident!

SubscriberNo, the useless Sparky I was referring to is me...
There's no Lucas left in this vehicle - I rewired it end to end when I first got it as half the stuff didn't work when I got it and that was easier than trying to fix what the factory had installed.
It's blown a fuse (there were only 2 in the factory loom - now 8) but there's a short in there somewhere - I've only spent 10 minutes on it, but going back out there soon to have a closer look.
