A bit of disagreement with the GPS to start with – we need to get used to each other I think. It didn’t help when it tried to send us down roads which never got constructed and got upset when we missed a detour sign, adding 10km to our trip.
The bus is running well although the gas stopped working on day two – seems to be a faulty fuse and it’s working again.
Problems however with the tandem trailer. Just out of Orbost, our destination for day 2, a weld broke allowing the brakes to lock and in 200m we had worn a hole right through two tyres. We off loaded Scruffy and removed the damaged wheels from the front axle of the trailer so it would run on the back wheels only. Got it into Orbost OK with me following in Scruffy. Settled into the caravan park by 3.30pm and by 4.30 had arranged new tyres and the welding repair for Friday.
All fixed and ready to hit the road again Saturday.
