That hitch looks easer to put on and of the tow ball,is that correct? Also what is the name of it and what's it worth? If requested can Jayco put them on at the factory too do ya know?

The ESC might be worth a look too I am impressed with that?

skippy Don't know if it is easier or not yet... LOL!! I ordered it with my Van but the dealer has to put it on, I don't think the factory does it, and from what I hear some dealers don't do it either!! Its called a Hyland hitch, I can't remember how much it cost, I will dig it up and edit this post when I find it....

I also installed some tie down points under one of the beds to hold chairs and the table for the Webber. The bed can be lowered and stowed away with them attached.

Brilliant storage you've got there Bigman, my BaseStation envy is growing by the minute!
Love the internal camera! Also might come in handy when your girls are teens and the boys are hanging around!

Hey Bigman,

Out of curiosity, does your Compliance Plate show the "OB" at the end of the Model Number?

I have yet to see a Toyhauler with either it shown on there or on the outside anywhere. Our WnP has arrived in Adelaide and is currently having some extras added prior to us getting to it in August. Despite asking for a selection of pictures etc to confirm that they have what we ordered they've only sent a drivers side shot, a couple of "A" frame ones and the Compliance Plate.

Sorry PhilD I don't know how I missed your post?? its probably too late now but it doesn't have OB on the end.... Sorry

Ordered my extra 82lt water tank today. I was also looking around, and I think I could fit another 70lt tank under there too. This would me I could potentially have 310lt of water!! hmmmm what to do. I will see how it goes with 240lt first....

 

[Meanderthals]

No problem, still interesting as to why Jayco don't bother when it comes to Toy Haulers. As to your water tanks, 310 litres would be half your weight allowance so you would have to give up the toys or leave kids or wife and at home.

 

[bigman0510]

Yeah the 2 rear tanks will only be used when there are no toys in there... IE Gympie muster 8 days camping without water and power....
lets call it "weight distribution"

No toys in the back, i could give you a 1000lt ibc liquid container no water worries then!

 

[bigman0510]

yikes, that might test out the suspension!!

 

[Meanderthals]

Let alone raising the CofG or the sloshing around when part full.

 

[bigman0510]

true

 

[17triton]

Take your pick bigman0510! And Phil i am only joking. I know Bigmans titanic can handle it

 

[bigman0510]

17triton I will take the firewood!!! I can get those pods out here from the dump shop cheap, they have HEAPS out here in the mines.... but that wood pile is something else!!

 

[17triton]

Keep your eyes off me wood!

What does the wood get used for. Must be a southern thing not known to us in the tropics. Up here it's only used to feed termites.
