Bought this in September 2012. Finally got to use it Easter 2013. 

Still have a few thing to have added to it yet.

 

I was looking at one of their camper trailers and made an order for one, plus extra modifications. Saw this and told them to chuck the trailer I will take the van. Small price difference but worth the cost.

Actually it just looks big. As far as the towing bit goes the GU handles it very well. The picture was taken in Quorn so I had to tow the van through the Pichi Richi Pass  and had little problem. Just keep the revs steady at 2500 and don't expect to do a 110 km/h dash.

 

As it is I tend to sit around the 80 km/h mark when towing. 

 

As for the van basic specs are:

 

Width = 2.05m (6'9")
Length = 4.76m (15' 7.5")
Tare = 1700 kg
GVM = 2400 kg
 

I have just replaced the springs and shockers with standard height King springs and Ironman Nitro shockers. This helped to keep the van up. The old springs were a little limp for this.

 

the van is a full off road spec:
