Hello from Brisbane

[icetechaus]

I have just joined the site and there is some interesting reading. I bought a 2009 16.49.1B in February and so far it has sat in the yard the whole time.
I have have just woken up to the fact that it is nearly Christmas holidays and I actually have to get it ready to go to Maroochydore.
The only mods that I have made so far are Slide out wire baskets in the bottom of the wardrobe, I hate not being able to see what is at the back of the long low spaces and modifying the marine VHF antenna that was on the side of the van to take my TV antenna.
Anything else can wait until we have spent a bit of time on holidays and work out what we want.
The tow car is an VE SV6 Commodore with Haman Reese weight distribution hitch.

Hi and welcome...sounds like you have some serious catch up to do with the van sitting around that long

Hi Icetechaus and :welcome:

The drawers look good. When you get a chance throw up some more pics of your van.

Enjoy the forum, there is heaps of info on here.

Welcome Icetechaus. Amazing self control...at least you've started with the mods.
Get it on the road and see what you've been missing and keep us posted.

Welcome icetechaus, I used to have the same van in an OB....loved it. The time has more than come to move that van and get rid of the flat spots on your tyres enjoy mate.

Cheers.

Welcome aboard icetechaus!

Can I ask where you got the baskets from?

Thanks

The long narrow basket came from www.thestorageonlineshop.com.au and the large one came from Howards Storage World (www.HSW.com.au) Storage online had both but freight on the big one was the kicker and I could buy it locally.
As for getting out and using it, it is something I am looking forward to, unfortunately as both wife and daughter are team sport oriented free weekends don't happen.
