What did you not want to park next to

No worries, there’s one on the other side too.

Right Hand Side? Well, I guess that explains the whole Aussie steering wheel thing.

Sorry Cam, couldn’t resist.

Well I could have said off side but that would have confused things even more! At least left is still left and right is still right.
Something the British left behind and we chose to keep. The Indians, Kiwis, Singaporeans, Malaysians, most of the Pacific islands, and South Africans the same.
Interestingly the Indonesians, Thais, and Japanese also drive on the left, and the Brits were never really there. There was talk back in the 1960's about switching, but it was judged to be too costly, and also as I said most of our local region also drives on the left so it was abandoned.

Hillbilly roof top tent.

Maybe when he gets to his destination, he winches it down, puts the wheels back on and has a camper all set up! Then again maybe not...

But, your "down under", so your left is actually our right and your right is our left....
So actually, to us, your driving on the "right" side of the road.....the/our left !!!!!!!

Oh my eyes, if you saw that here it would immediately label that person as a Victorian.

That's a pre-requisite there and here in AZ for anyone over 70.

That sounds like a Monty Python sketch.
The thing I found hardest to get used to when we've visited the US was watching water going down the plug hole the wrong way, and inadvertently looking the wrong way before crossing the street.
Since primary school, you have drilled into you look to the right, look to the left, and look to the right again. That's a recipe for disaster in the US, Canada, and Europe.

Please tell me that is held on by more than just one flimsy looking rope jammed in the RHS rear window track.

Did both of you miss the tailgate holding it in place, too, and serving as an instant patio when they get to where they're going?

Don't worry, @AzScorpion sold them a bunch of extra dampers to reinforce the tailgate.
