Another safety mod to add to the van........ thanks again @TRAKADU will let you know how the install goes
Burnsie's Unexpected 17.56-2 Outback
- Thread starter burnsie
- Start date
Called past Caravanland to check up on the van and it looks like most of the accessories are installed.....
Unfortunately the guys have installed the storm cover strips on the outside, but I am sure they will still work fine..
I did notice however that the tyres are LT's which is great...
The installers have done a great job though especially as they have installed the internal speakers at the ends, instead of in the sitting area, gave it a quick test....sounds good.
Just a few more changes so hopefully ready in the next week or so
Getting the Prado sorted next week with the TowPro and electrics and we a nearly there......

Looks good @burnsie and guessing the anxious feelings are setting in. We had to wait two weeks and that was bad enough!
The bed end cover strips were originally designed to go outside so guessing that's why they fitted them there but others have found different options (All too late as I installed ours before hearing of the underneath option) but as long as they do the job.... and ours do
Still contemplating putting a stereo in ours and was going to fit the speakers in the sitting/dining area but now seeing the speaker near the bed might go down that track.... Listen to the Footy while laying down

Wednesday is the day........we finally get to pickup the van 
We just miss the long weekend over here in WA but that could be a good thing, not sure how reversing the new van would go whilst everyone is looking.....will hopefully book the shakedown trip in a few weeks...

The Prado is all wired up ready to pull the new rig, reverse camera, 12 Pin and Anderson......
Ledge will be perfect @burnsie and was our first location too. If your lucky you can drive in and out with no need to reverse! Saves the drama of newbie reversing!
One caravan park that is great for newbie reversers is Mandaly at Busselton. They take you to the site and talk you through reversing into the site.
I bet you cant wait burnsie. Congratulations and hope it all goes well for you tomorrow. 
I'm excited for you!
Enjoy, fingers crossed for a smooth handover.
