So we left Brissy on Thursday, picked up the Van in Mildura on Friday at 10am. Had the induction from Halls Caravans which was fantastic. And then back into Brissy at midnight on Saturday night. 3247km all up but worth every one.
We didn't get too many options just what we needed which included an Awning, 100ah battery, Heron 2.2 Air Conditioner, Privacy Screens, Winegard Antenna, some extra power points and a gas bayonet fitting on the A Frame.
The first mod was done before the van was even hooked up to the car. We changed the standard ball hitch over to an Ozhitch.
Today we cleaned the van from top to toe. This was a big job due to all the bugs on the van from the drive home but this was expected. We also tightened all of the water pipes under the van and tested everything inside to ensure all is working as it should and so that we know how it all works. Also setup the beds with some linen the wife had purchased.
Things still to do: seal up underneath the van where the pipes enter / exit the inside. Replace lights with LEDS, protect the shocks from rocks, protect the van / car from rocks, tighten up the bed ends so they seal better. Im sure there is more.
Here are some piccys.
