the amount of fuel we use is nothing ,when you compare it to the sights, sounds, smells ,the people we meet it is an amazing expereance

Gaz,

Am understanding your math correctly? $1.73 (US) per litre X 3.8 (litres in a gallon) would be $6.56 per gallon for diesel! Ouch!

I have another question: I have heard that in Australia the width of a motorhome can not exceed 96 inches. So a 102" Newell could not be legally driven on the Australian roads.

How much does it cost to ship a Newell from the US to Australia?

I would love to go to Australia one day. I have heard that it is beautiful. Maybe we could have a rally in Australia! That would be wild!
