The Truck

As people have been asking about the truck this will give some idea of what it is like. It’s an orange and blue coloured Mercedes Axor 1823 chassis, right hand drive, with driven rear wheels.

The rear locker holds the folding chairs, under the chassis are racks for gas bottles and water containers, while the tents are stored in locker at the front .

This could be called the working side of the truck as various lockers hold fresh and tinned foods in plastic stacking crates, two tables, two gas rings with a gas bottle, cutlery and a drinking water tank.

The tents are named after fancy hotels worldwide

Inside the truck looking front to back (The orange thing is a silly squeaky toy). From the front, on each side, there are two sets of seats facing forward, then front and rear facing seats about a table and at the rear a double seat facing inwards (20 seats in total). The area below the seats is boxed in to provide extra storage. This is not so an all the trucks as we have been seeing others now and again and one certainly does not have the boxed seats, much to the annoyance of the people on that truck as their luggage stored under the seats ends up all over the place with the bouncy roads. On one side by the door is a small fridge to store fresh food (and beer). Then opposite the door is a locker for sleeping bags and roll mats while across the inside rear of the truck is a locker for the larger bags.
Turkmenistan, Darvaza, I didn't think that food would take this long!

A normal on the road lunch. The bikes were extra on the truck and left a Special Home in Georgia. The rack hold wood for fires when they are able to be lit.
