Hmmm...
Can I convince you to build one a little bigger. By about 300% or 400% ought to do it.

I would love to, but it's not on my property (yet) and the FIL doesn't like having cars sitting around...

You'll have to wait until they shuffle off, but that won't be happening any time soon.

Build the machinery shed ............. Put some large roller doors down the open wall. Roll 'em up, you have a 3walled shed with some supports, roll 'em down and it's closed .............. Obviously do this AFTER the permits have been approved :)

Bugger that this is nice, very nice :cool:
Why the old cars have that character that it is lost in the new ones ?

It's only a little single axle 'van isn't it :)

The ATM of the 20' dual axle is ATM 2,722 kg and the 6 m single axle ATM 2045 k

The airstreams? Are they really that heavy :o :o :o Anything short of an old truck or modern 4wd probably doesn't have the tow capacity to move it .....

Yep, the big banger we looked at came in at 3,400Kg. They are designed to be towed by F trucks or similar. It's one of the reasons we're looking at 5th wheelers instead. You still need an F truck or the like to tow them, but you can get something with twice the floor area - 2 or 3 slide outs, that weighs in at around 4,000Kg for similar money, and tows much better.

You do need to break the bank or sell your kids for purchasing a proper towing vehicle, this smart 1973 F250 do the job just fine :cool:

I am not so sure if the LR like in this photo can do the job as good specially in Tasmania

In USA you can get cheap old Airstream to convert to 5th wheeler but here starting @ $135000 it is better to get an Australian made unit.
