May 21, 201312 yr comment_7295 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. Report
May 22, 201312 yr comment_7298 Nice van, how does a 4 cyl 3 L engine pulls such sized van? I'd be scared towing something of that size. Cheers Report
May 22, 201312 yr Author comment_7301 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.
