That Escape look's shmick @Bushman "congratulations" looks like Santa came late this year :whoo:
You won't know yourself in a full height van with all that room.

Looks great! And it's the first van I've seen for a long time that has the door hinged so if the lock fails the door won't blow off
Santa got it to the dealer on time we just couldn't get it before.
Dealer claimed he could have sold 4 times in the time he had it, said he even liked it more than their display model.
As for full van, thats going to take some getting use to after the poptop especially the handling in the wind.
Got interesting yesterday in our travels.

I asked how he found the ESC and he said he didn't know because it never came on. I suppose it's one of those things that will prove its worth when it's needed!
Did you end up with ESC? I met a bloke that had ESC fitted to his van down at Eden yesterday. He had traveled from Eden back up to Moruya and brought some stuff with him from ARV for me.

Yep it has ESC though its not ALKO, it's Dexter Sway Control with the same brand axles and suspension, and I'm pretty sure it got a worrk out yesterday.
I'll be calling ARV tomorrow when pass Eden on the way to The Bay

Cool, sounds about right we landed in Batemans Bay about 330, the big girl overhangs our regular spot a bit.

Looks a bit dirtier than earlier in the week
It sure is, rained all the away to Phillip Is and then some.
And just so we dont miss the step in the dark after to many Lemonades
That sort of light @Bushman I thought only existed in Kalgoorlie on the Main Street
ound:Good idea though:eagerness:
I don't think you will have too worry about getting lost in the dark with those MCG cricket lights out side. Did you get any on the off side as well for those late night set up's?
Certainly knew it was there the first few days with drive rain and winds going to Philip Is and only having a light load probably didn't help much, wasn't sure if it was me the van or the weather, mostly likely all 3. certainly slowed down on a few of those hills on the lower NSW South Coast, though the ltrs/100 on the dash of PJ showed 16/100 on average.
I measured the body length external, came up a 6.7 mtrs (excluding standard drawer bar and rear bumper) Internal front window above bed to rear bunk window 6.4 mtrs approx.,
Certainly good to walk in and know your bed is waiting already done,
Original specs stated it was Pajero/Prado suitable, hence why we looked at it, @2100 tare and 2500 ATM only giving it a 400kg load rating which isn't much consider my Panda had 375kg load.
However ours rocked in at 2100 tare with a 600kg load, and ATM of 2700kg. interestingly it doesn't state a tare ball weight on the plate, I'm a bit scared to physical check it.
that was one thing I had indeed to do but for some reason didn't get one on the off side, it dose have a nice LED one in the front boot though that also lights up the drawer bar enough to see what's going on.
