Starcraft 20.62-3 Ob now delivered

[cancan]

Cancan - 24 ltr/100 km.

Is your Jeep petrol or Diesel?

As matty mentioned Petrol Hemi V8.

It averages 10.8l/100km when not towing on open roads. I will towing the van back to Brisbane next month but I will be on a tight time frame so will be pushing it a bit again but when I bring it back to Roma I will be taking my time so will be good to see the difference in fuel economy.

I still havent put anything down on the floor (restricted with flying in) and it has been -3 to -4 this week, slippers make a wonderful difference but I have a list of mods to do whilst it is in Brisbane (if I get time)

It was -2.6 when I got up this morning....cant't believe how cold the floor gets. Wife has been out shopping for slippers.

Clever wife knowing what slippers are. My grandkids in Brisbane wouldn't have a clue.
Pick up the what do you put on the floor? thread on this forum and get yourselves some carpet on your floor.

We are now on out first family holiday in the starcraft..... its a bit of a change from using it as a bachelor pad at work...... I can no longer play my music, watch my TV shows or hop out of the shower naked and then get dressed but worse I can't find anything. I have spent 6 months getting everything in the most logical spot and now the wife keep putting things in the wrong place. And just when I thought thinks can't get worse she finishes work today so will be here full time as of tomorrow.... It going to take me another 6 months to get MY van in order.... Still much nicer than the camper trailer

Thought that whilst I was down on the Gold Coast I would get the front porch installed. Nice change cooking in the shade (and out of the rain).
It is also keeping the morning sun off the beer fridge (most important job....hate having warm beer for breakfast).



Also the here are the girls enjoying there bunks. There is an open cupboard next to each bunk so these are filled with toys and more toys

Well the first holiday in the Starcraft was a hit....Its nice to be in a big downpour and stay nice and dry (not as nice as getting back after a big downpour and finding you left all the windows and skylights open).
We noticed our neighbours had a marquee to park there car in, thought this was a good idea so had ours bought down to have christmas lunch in and then used it as a car port...will be bringing the Marquee next time.



Pack up still took forever although that was more the amount of crap that we carted plus kids presents and more presents. Still love the bunks folding up. I managed to get the Marquee, Weber and 4 bikes (kids bikes were a last minute idea, they normally go in the car) and tables into the space.



Had a weekend at home where the van had a spring clean (the van didnt look that dirty but amazing the dirt that came off it), I have put a battery in, sick of resetting the radio everytime the power goes off and now back in Roma awaiting some repairs and a few mods....

That would be my choice of van if I was not to get another Expanda.

I recall you mentioned you could be upgrading in the future, what will it be too?? Pace.

G'day cancan,
Hoping you could help me out with a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind.
Just wandering what options if any, you have fitted as we had a look at one of these vans yesterday and SWMBO has taken a liking to it... Also what is the ball weight as we have a Pajero and the ball weight can be an issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

This is one we considered if we were to up grade, but the weights are getting close to the make, hence the other option is the 18-57-6 which is only marginally lighter but the whole idea was to do away with canvas. also the 18's standard dinette has less leg room than my 16.
