Story 20: The Travelling Rig—$100K for Camelot and the Nissan

The day we sold our home, a new chapter unfolded. With that first massive step behind us, our focus shifted to the next coordinate: finding the caravan that would carry our family into the unknown.

We set a crystal-clear intention right from the start. We were going to spend no more than a hundred thousand dollars total for both the van and the tow vehicle. And true to the lifelong, cash-only pact my husband and I had made after our early financial struggles, it had to be paid in full.

That boundary became our absolute anchor.

While our house was lingering on the market, I completely immersed myself in research. I wandered through the Perth Caravan and Camping Show, notebook in hand, absorbing every single detail. Each display offered a glimpse of what could be, but something essential was always missing.

The triple bunk beds—one for each of our kids—never seemed quite right. They were always three in a row, with the lowest bunk pressed right to the floor. I imagined the daily ritual of making that bottom bed, knees on cold linoleum, and I thought, no bloody way. There has to be a better design.

In those moments of uncertainty, I did what I always do—I listened for guidance. My inner compass nudged me forward, straight to an online listing in Mildura, Victoria. It was a caravan that seemed to exist only in dreams. Twenty-six feet of absolute possibility. Every single feature on our list was accounted for, and most importantly, the triple bunk configuration actually made sense. It had two bunks above in an L-shape, and one below. It was thoughtfully designed for real family life.

When I reached out, the van was already under offer. But something within me knew the story wasn’t finished. Sure enough, three days later, the deal fell through. The path cleared, as if the universe had orchestrated it all along.

We bought her sight unseen, guided entirely by intuition and nine photographs. Family and friends called us reckless. But when you know, you know. We trusted the feeling, paid the cash, and named her Camelot—our sanctuary where dreams take root.

The first day with Camelot was an absolute whirlwind. We were racing against a 3:30 PM deadline to get her registered, and every single moment felt charged with urgency. It was a mad dash across highways for last-minute parts, a frantic search for a welder, and a final sprint to the inspection centre. Each obstacle was met and overcome in real-time. In the middle of the chaos, I saw the hand of fate at work. The right people appeared out of nowhere, doors opened, and Camelot passed inspection with minutes to spare.

Through it all, I had that quiet assurance that this was meant to be. The journey had only just begun, but the universe was already guiding us home.

What I’ve come to realize from this is that struggle is absolutely not a requirement for receiving what I desire. The more I let go of the need to force outcomes, the more life seems to unfold with ease. It’s not about relentless effort—it’s about allowing myself to feel good and resting in the energy of trust.

This became screamingly evident when it came to the tow vehicle. A close family member appeared at just the right moment, stepping in to help us secure a remarkable deal on a brand-new Nissan Patrol. Because of their unique position, we saved a significant amount—nearly ten thousand dollars off the original price. They even threw in the extras: a bullbar, running boards, spotlights, and a full tank of diesel.

It wasn’t until we had completely finalized the paperwork and handed over the cash for the brand-new car that a memory hit me like a physical shockwave.

Eighteen months earlier, right after we had paid out the remainder of an old car loan, my husband had jokingly said, “Now we can get another new car.”

My fierce, defensive response to him had been immediate: “No bloody way!! The next car we buy, it’s cash only too.” But right on the heels of that bold statement, my old programming had whispered a cynical thought: And we will never have another new car.

Back then, I truly did not believe it would ever be a possibility for us to hand over thousands of dollars in cold cash for a brand-new vehicle. That was too far beyond my wildest dreams. It was just a briefest of thoughts that I had quickly dismissed because I didn't think I cared either way.

But the Universe didn't dismiss it. It hears even the slightest of requests, completely ignoring our doubts, waiting for the perfect alignment to deliver the goods.

When I shared this memory with my husband in our new rig, we were both struck by the sheer, staggering perfection of how seamlessly everything had come together. We had bought a brand-new Nissan Patrol and Camelot, paid cash for both, and the total came to exactly under our $100K boundary.

This journey proved to me that when I align with ease and trust, life responds in kind. The path unfolds, often far more beautifully than I could have ever imagined.

Postscript: The Dashboard Mic Drop

If I ever needed absolute, undeniable proof that the Universe was running the staging cues for our cash-only rig, it happened on a random afternoon shortly after we brought the Nissan home.

Ever since my very first magical encounter with an 11:11 clock alignment years ago, I have had a deep, obsessive love for number alignments. They are my ultimate universal winks. So, when I noticed the odometer on the new patrol was creeping up, I set a clear, light intention: I want to see the 1111 km alignment.

Now, I know full well how the quantum field works—you cannot force or chase these signs. If you try to control them from a place of desperate lack, something will always come along to distract you. Even sitting right there in the passenger seat, you’ll look out the window at the exact second the dial turns, missing it entirely.

But the Universe wanted to show off.

Nathan and I were both in the car as the moment approached. No distractions appeared. No old analytical thoughts pulled my gaze away. Together, we sat there and watched the digital display click right over to a perfect, solid 1111 km.

We were already celebrating the win, but our Inner Being wasn't done playing.

Right beneath the odometer, the car's digital clock was glowing in the dashboard light. I looked down, and the breath caught in my throat. At the exact, flawless second our odometer hit 1111... the clock read exactly 4:44.

It was the ultimate, unmistakable handshake from the Master Architect, proving that when you are riding the high of your own sovereignty, the entire physical world clicks into place right before your eyes.
