Purchase of Motorhome





Dad has almost driven Mum mad since the sale of the irrigation block as he has lived on the Web looking for a motorhome. He came up with several options – one in Tasmania (but the phone wouldn’t work) and one in Mareeba in far north Queensland. Eventually he found another one on Ebay in Brisbane. In the meantime Bugs found one in the Pocket Trader in Mackay. On Sunday Dad drove to Brisbane to have a look at the Ebay vehicle - it looked OK - in fact it looked too good for a vehicle 19 years old, and I am sure that the bids on Ebay were theirs and the Reserve price was too high. So we decided to go with the vehicle in Mackay so Bugs has been negotiating on our behalf and we have agreed on a price of $11,800.00 the lady has a roadworthy but is yet to get the Gas certificate. We are hoping to go North and pick it up – we are hoping that Mary and Jo are going to take it for a spin for a few days before we bring it home.

The vehicle is a 1993 Mazda with about 140000 km on the clock. The upholstery probably needs some work. It has Gas stove, Microwave, Electric Fridge12v/240 (but can be connected to Gas), plenty of cupboard space, sink etc.
