Makes my 3 weeks in Spain seem a bit boring 😁

Only got the ninja out once.
Well... second time it got out of the garage, the battery died, so it didn't leave the drive. I jumped on the back of the VStrom 🤣🤣

New battery €36

Should be good for October.
Hoping to get to the GP at valencia.

We did something similar in 2019. Great RV with good roof A/C. We only did 7,300Ks last time. This trip will be about 11,000Ks but a lot lot longer to do it. Some days 700/800Ks is dead easy. We love it.
Don't know about a metal detector, maybe a little hammer to do a bit of Opal hunting around Coober Pedy :D

You have had a bit of bad weather there NC. See on the news and reading on the Motorhome forum with people down there. Soon clears up though eh. When i think back i really do miss those roads. Propper riding.
€36 is not bad for a battery, i mentioned my last service was £600++ (did include a new tyre but)

The RV we have is called a Jayco Royal Conquest.
Jayco very popular in Aussy. Probably on a par with your Swift or my Bailey.
