Washing machine - retrofit

A few years ago when we were camping on the Roper one member of the group had a Lemair washing machine, I chortled at the concept. This year we spent time on the Roper & at Limen Byte & two vans in the group had Lemairs - were were fortunate enough that the use of these was shared - no chortling this time!

One of the group (the famous Sammy) had his machine in an aluminium box on the draw bar - fully plumbed & wired so that it was just a matter of starting the generator & having water available. We liked the look of his setup & so decided to take the plunge, which gets me to the point. Sammy's installation was done by the brother of a BT owner who trades as Bowline located at Morayfield (near Brisbane for the southeners) so we lined up for him to do the job. We are delighted with the final product, the box is two heights with the Lemair in one section & a 2kw Honda & 3 x fuel cans in the other. As an aside we also purchased & had fitted the fold-up aluminium boat trailer he makes which fits in the cut away at the back of the van.

If anyone is looking to have the same sort of job done I can not imagine anywhere you would get a better result, the drawback is that he works on his own so booking ahead is essential, particularly now, as the 200 series Toyota requires mods to the Tinny Tosser roof unit he also makes so he is doing a bit of retrofitting for a few owners.
