outback Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 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. admin 1
Rumcajs Posted May 22, 2013 Report Posted May 22, 2013 Nice van, how does a 4 cyl 3 L engine pulls such sized van? I'd be scared towing something of that size. Cheers
outback Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Posted May 22, 2013 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: Kitchen Internal Smev 3 Burner & Sink Combo, hot and cold pumped water 12/240V 140ltr. Waeco Compressor Fridge 12 Volt Water Pump 19l 240 Volt microwave oven Bed 2 x Single Beds Awning: 11 Foot Rollout Awning Annex: shade cloth style annex Storage 2 x Front Tunnel Boots 1 x Under Bed Storage access inside van 1 x Under Bed Storage access inside van or via outside door Overhead Cupboards Electrical 19inch 12 Volt TV with DVD Player CD/Radio 3 x 240 Volt double Sockets 5x LED Down Lights- Internal 2x Bed Side Lights 1x External LED Strip Light 12v Battery System 3x 12 Volt Outlets – 2 Int/ 1 Ext 2x 100 AH Sealed Batteries 240 Volt Battery Charger Battery Indicator Anderson Plug 1000 Watt 12volt to 240 volt pure sine wave inverter Solar 2x 80 Watt Solar Panels 1 x 120 Watt folding solar panner with anderson plug and battery clips.

TheLocksmith Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Nice van. I've gone with a 8x5 box trailer, aluminum and a blackwolf tent. Prefer all the toys and have a basic tent to sleep. P4trol 1
