Hi all,
I just got back this morning from a 9411km trip from Perth to Tasmania and back over the last 3.5 weeks. We left on December 26th and visited family in the Huon Valley (Tasmania), Melbourne (Victoria) and the Eyre Peninsula (South Australia).
I ran mainly on LPG, but did some small runs on Petrol.
The vehicle is a 1985 110 with 3.9 V8. Passengers were my wife and I, our 17 year old son and 15 year old daughter. Gear carried included individual clothes bags with enough clothes for 7 days for each of us, two 2-second tents, self inflating mattresses and sleeping bags for each of us, 40L of water, 40L Engel full of food etc (strategically placed between the kids), cooking gear and dry food, spares and tools. It was literally packed to the roof, but we got away with not needing the roofrack, so it was left off for this trip.
The hottest leg was across the Nullarbor, heading East to West, in 45.5 Degree celcius temps for 4 hours straight yesterday at 110km/h to reach cooler weather as fast as possible.
The Megasquirt handled the lot without a hiccup.
Big thanks to Nige for a quality kit, and post sale support for spares etc while planning the trip.
If you are interested in my setup, you can see it here:
