The 2015 Caravan of Courage is all packed and heading north. Team members are "Doc " and Jenny in the super deluxe Avan. Mr B and editor in the Jayco (mit working Fridge) and Caroline in the Bongo van ( mit new floor). Caro was gifted the bongo van from her son. Mr B suggested he would not let his mum drive it to Darwin with 600,000 km on the clock.  Son had a new floor (aluminum checker plate)  put in and it was like walking on a Trampoline.
