I got the job offer a couple of years ago and was all set to go. Had the flights booked via USA and the RV booked for 28 day's. We were going to tour round the states while waiting for our stuff to be shipped. But then had an accident and put everything on hold. My oldest son is now starting University in September so it might be time to start the ball rolling.

No time like the present, I won't be leaving Nz so if you make it look me and we will break a few cv's and have a beer after.

Nice pics, had 3 weeks holls in NZ a few years ago, loved every minute of it, Hired a big RV so no off road stuff but lovely country, Started Auckland and got as far as Rotorua, so much to see, shame about some who continue to knock the locals, long term I would find that intently annoying, Rick

Yes all Mistrals had them as well as auto folding wing mirrors, Rick

terranosaurusdoug · 14-08-2016, 22:08

I think they look cool, what is the actual use for them?

weedave · 15-08-2016, 04:31

yea it is a mirror but I can not actually see the purpose, it does give you a view of the N/s wheel though so maybe it was for parking? It swivels and that day I have it turned in so its easier through the bush.
