The Rotel mob used to run safaris through Africa but just a V8 Merc 6x4 with the "coffins' over the arse-end. Affectionately known as "coffin tours' as they'd had the misfortune of a few of their aged punters expiring during their sleep. Had a run-in with one of their drivers on my last Trans-Africa in Tamanrasset in Algeria- I was lodging our passports at the Niger consular for a visa and the Rotel bloke pushed in front and tipped the nanny to speed up her work ethic which I didn't which meant I got our passports and visas back a day later. At this time in North Africa Toureg bandits were chasing down foreign vehicles and basically kicking everyone out of the vehicle and taking off with the lot- every thing leaving the stranded punters alive and with some water. Nervous times to cross the 2 days to Arlit in Niger and heaps of overland trucks and independents were banking up in the main campsite waiting for someone to take the gap. The Rotel truck did and got hit by the bandits but the driver was clever enough to bog the truck proper so the Touregs didn't get that but they robbed the truck blind. Saw the fella again at the Arlit campsite and he was not all that cheerful. Scarey times to cross that part of the Sahara and it's the last time I did it.

Hi,
the Rotels were operating in Australia at some stage. I did a bit of looking around last time someone posted a picture of one on here and found some pictures and articles from up in the Top End.
This link gives a few details of the vehicles.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

My father went to school with a boy whose surname was bacon. He was always called Piglet. Maybe he went to America and built a motorhome (RV, to you Brocky45)
