Holden Man's new van - Lotus Freelander

[davemc]

the waiting kills you.. Do Lotus send you those nice pics of it being built like some other places do?
One of the reasons we brought the 22' from Mount Gambier .... the waiting It also saved me some cash and weight as well as I would of optioned outback and fiberglass walls, the bigger air, bigger hatches he he he

@17triton and @Holden_man

It's no Expanda but tough looking van the Lotus Vans.

 

[DRW]

Can't wait to see it @Holden_man maybe at flinders???? its not that far in a cruiser (about 3 tanks full main and aux)
I go back to the old place full time on 1st Feb so I will have to be on my best behviour to make it to Flinders now as well.

 

[17triton]

Yep Flinders under warranty period is a great idea @DRW and yes you better behave so you can make it. That's what we will be doing with the newie.

 

[DRW]

Don't worry @17triton I am working on it, as long as there are no trade shows overseas in September I'll be there

 

[davemc]

Can almost smell it now if you come to Flinder's happy to swap her for the Starcarft he he

 

[17triton]

Any delivery dates yet @17triton.....

At this stage still coming off the line on the 9th of Feb. I rang the other day and spoke with the dealer. The factory only went back this week. So I'm hoping mid to late Feb by the time they get it to the dealer. Fingers crossed I'm over this waiting lol

Come on @17triton are you really surprised by the delay? Just another day in the Jayco world.

No dishwasher?

 

[Dean Anderson]

OOPS

No delays here Pete. HM has had his pushed back a little. All running to schedule at the moment.

 

[Dean Anderson]

There's a dishwasher alright, I have two of em....

Please send instructions, I can't get mine out of reverse, they just make dirty dishes.

 

[chartrock]

I thought the arrow in the first picture pointed to the wife's sleeping position.

 

[chartrock]

Brave mate, very brave, I thought it, wasn't going to say it.....

Life on the edge mate, and I don't have to sleep in the other position.

Three cheers for camp fires and paper plates............Plastic knives and forks at $1 for 12 in the recycled grocery bag as a rubbish bag..............A BBQ plate that kills all germs by excessive heat..........and one poor old lonely Barbemate that needs cleaning by rubbing in the sand where I'm camping............

Why are the dishes such an issue when I'm at home? Feed man meat and potato.............Man happy.....Even if have to cook himself....Ug.
Feed kids same......Kids not happy....That OK........They complain but not starve...........If hungry eat meat and potato.............Ug
