Introduction

The last time we were in Adelaide for the TDU was Jan 2013 when we did the trip in the Mazda CX5. At that time we were toying with the idea of getting a caravan, but wanted to explore the car and self-contained cabins option before spending a lot of money for a set-up we may not enjoy. Whilst we had a good holiday, sleeping in a different bed every night, having to clean cutlery and crockery prior to using it, together with having to lug everything out of the car into the cabin and back again, became quite tiresome. So, we bought a van! And a bigger vehicle to tow it - a Mazda BT50! Since having the van we have done almost 18 000km and are still enjoying it. We are going to Adelaide to watch the TDU AGAIN, one because Greg just loves it, two because we are accompanying Gunther and Yvonne as they both (well probably mainly Gunther) wants to see it live, and three, we love going away in the van and this is a jolly good excuse. We are a bit wary of travelling in the height of summer though, especially to SA and VIC where the temperatures can reach into the 40s. Time will only tell.
