DEALER ADVERTISING AND PRIVATE ADVERTISING 07 3340 0000 6 TradeRVs.com.au MOVING WITH THE Offroad caravans from various manufacturers often seem to have a number of similar build characteristics including a heavy weight. Some though, like Summer Life RV’s Xplorer are a little TIMESWORDS AND PICS malcomn street different. 8 TradeRVs.com.au Tested Summer Life Xplorer 5.8 Presented by Caravan World hemax.com 9 any offroad caravans built in Australia have similar characteristics — they are relatively heavy and usually require a heavy-duty vehicle, like a Toyota LandCruiser, for towing. MIt was something of a surprise, therefore, when I came across a Summer Life RV Xplorer 5.8 caravan, which is built for offroad use, but has an external body length of 5.8m (19ft) and a tare of just 2300kg. Summer Life RV is headed up by James Kaufmann and based at Newcastle, NSW. It has been around for quite a while but previously concentrated on the fifth wheeler and slide-on camper markets. More recently though, Summer Life made a move into the caravan sector, using the same building techniques as in its other RVs. STEELWORK Starting at the base, the Xplorer 5.8 has a 450 grade steel chassis with 150mm x 50mm (6in x 2in) main rails and drawbar finished with a two-pack paint system. The chassis is not built in a total box section style, instead using the 30mm fibreglass floor for some of the strength component. A benefit of the thickness of the floor is the insulation it provides. Being an offroad caravan, the Xplorer comes fitted with Cruisemaster XT independent suspension fitted with coil springs, dual shock absorbers and trailing arms, and 12in electric brakes are fitted to 16in alloy wheels. In addition to a 160L freshwater tank and 100L grey water tank — both protected by alloy checkerplate — the spare wheel and the two deep-cycle batteries are mounted underneath the front area of the van. While it’s a convenient storage location, it does make them a bit awkward to get to. 10 TradeRVs.com.au Tested Summer Life Xplorer 5.8 Presented by Caravan World NO FRAME there’s a wall strip light beside the door, but I reckon a Undoubtedly the centrepiece of the Xplorer’s light above the BBQ wouldn’t go astray. construction are the high gloss composite walls A feature point of this van is the external storage.

Along with the grab handle light, tank, should satisfy anyone’s remote travel needs! hemax.com 11 ROOM TO MOVE Stepping aboard the Xplorer van, almost the first thing noticed is that it’s rather a big step up, so the fold-out two step is a welcome feature. Inside, the front bedroom/full-width bathroom looks a bit familiar, but some things, like the individual leather recliner chairs and the bed up front, don’t. More about that shortly. All the furniture is constructed with aluminium tube framing, aluminium composite and plywood. Except for items like the bench tops, it’s all finished off in a glossy acrylic finish. The end result is quite a clean- looking interior. KICKING BACK Recliner chairs are a little unusual in a caravan, but there’s no doubt about the ‘sit down and relax’ offered to anyone who steps into the Xplorer — which is what I did to contemplate the van layout. Both the chairs are strapped to the wall, so that they don’t move around when travelling. It’s quite amazing just how much difference the freestanding chairs make to space perceptions. Between the chairs is a small wall cabinet with a small compartment built in, as well as a 240V power point and USB charger outlet. At first glance there doesn’t seem to be any sort of table for the chairs. However, under the bed is a table top that clips into a wall bracket and, hey presto, a table for two! If something a bit larger is needed, a freestanding table could be used.

    I SEPTEMBER 2007 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE Retrofitting Passenger Restraints to Buses Prepared by Vehicle Design & Research National Transport Commission National Code of Practice for Retrofitting Passenger Restraints in Buses Report Prepared by: Vehicle & Design Research ISBN: 1 921168 04 8 2 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE: RETROFITTING PASSENGER RESTRAINTS TO BUSES FOREWORD The National Transport Commission (NTC) is a statutory body established by an inter-governmental agreement to progress regulatory and operational reform for road, rail and inter-modal transport to deliver and sustain uniform or nationally consistent outcomes. Following the research that was commissioned for the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) into the retrofitting of seatbelts for buses and coaches, as well as advice from the Bus Industry Confederation, it was concluded that the original guidelines (“Guidelines for the Voluntary Modification of Existing Buses and Coaches to Improve Occupant Protection”) needed to be revised. These guidelines were originally developed in 1994 by the National Road Transport Commission, the Federal Office of Road Safety and the Australian Bus and Coach Association. The NTC led the review and a Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee was involved in providing key input and overall direction on the review. A Code of Practice, which is intended to replace the original guidelines, has been prepared. It sets out requirements for modification of existing buses with the intention of improving occupant protection in crashes. The Code of Practice has been endorsed by the Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee and by Transport Agency Chief Executives after a period of public/stakeholder consultation. It was approved by the Australian Transport Council in August, 2007.

  • Buses – Global Market Trends
    2017 BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key Figures Extract from the study BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key figures In all regions across the globe, buses remain the most widespread public transport mode. Their demand goes hand in hand with several, mostly region-specific factors, including demographics, increasing mobility of people and environmental awareness, as well as public funding. Buses are comparatively to other transportation modes cheap and easy to use, since their use does not necessarily require the implementation of a specific infrastructure. This makes buses ideal vehicles for both short- and long-distance services. Based on the current developments, this Multi Client Study offers a comprehensive insight into the structure, volumes and development trends of the worldwide bus market. In concrete terms, the market study “BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS” includes: A look at the worldwide market for buses differentiated by region An analysis of the relevant market data including present and future market volumes Information concerning the installed fleet and future procurement potential until 2022 An assessment of current developments and growth drivers of the worldwide bus markets in the individual regions An overview of bus manufacturers including an analysis of the market shares, financial backups as well as a brief description of the current product portfolio and strategy outlook A list of the major production facilities in each of the regions including product range as well as production capacities Presentation of the development stage of alternative propulsions, their manufacturers and their occurrence worldwide The study is available in English from the August 2017 at the price of EUR 3,400 plus VAT.

Soprano Sarah Brightman and duo 2 Cellos are classically trained musicians who implemented crossover into their career and used their classical training as guidance of become successful. Musicians who restrict themselves only to classical music may approach danger regarding a career and livelihood, which includes audience interest, employability and financial instability. In this study the term “crossover” refers to classical artists’ who use their skills to perform other genres. Crossover gives artists the chance to appeal to larger audiences and extend their repertoire of music while using techniques used in classical works.

  • 8 June 2016 (Extract from Book 8)
    PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIFTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION Wednesday, 8 June 2016 (Extract from book 8) Internet: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/downloadhansard By authority of the Victorian Government Printer Following a select committee investigation, Victorian Hansard was conceived when the following amended motion was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 1865: That in the opinion of this house, provision should be made to secure a more accurate report of the debates in Parliament, in the form of Hansard. The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.
