JAYCO 17.56.2 Outback

[Deano]

Well good excuse to start a thread.
We bought our 56.2 back in Feb 2012 and have been true to our word by using it once a month. It suits our family needs and is a very far cry from the 1986 Coleman Camper we owned prior.
NEXT TRIP........Maaroom QLD. 15 mins from Maryborough QLD for the QUEENS BIRTHDAY Long week-end.

Good on you Deano, ours was 12 months old around Easter, I love it but I hate how work and school interrupts our ability to use it as much as I would like!

Nice van mate.:whoo:

Did you leave it with the bunk set up?

Love it Deano, looks great behind the Triton too. A great combo, seems to be common on the forum.

Deano ,what's that sticker on the back of the van , maybe you need a navara ?????

 

[Deano]

No chance Sals. The Trites sits on whatever speed I want with the help of the Hayman Reese. The sticker is a 90 speed limit to advise those other motorists to back off a bit. It seems to work. People seem to respect it on the open highway.
Thinking of getting a Mandrel exhaust for the Triton.
Cheers Deano

I was just stirring you up I sit between 90 -100 kmph whatever the car can get to without pushing it to hard , always want more power

 

[Deano]

You can guarantee you'll get a bite from me. The wife is always saying I bite. In a clean way.
So how does the Vara go pulling the 56.1? Do you try and get a run up those hills?
Cheers Deano

Deano
Every car I have ever had I try to get a run up on hills and go back through the gears to keep at max torque , the place we go to most is in the nsw south coast and the hills are big and just don't stop coming at ya .the navara does a good job but not as good as a 6cly crewman .the diesel struggles a bit at overtaking and you need a bigger gap and if your in the overtaking lane up a hill a need to increase speed no chance but happy with it( got to love company cars and fuel cards)

Sorry BOD for the delayed reply. Yes the bottom bunk is permanently setup for the 6y.o daughter. She has customized her area as expected.

Hey Deano,
Nice Van and Tug combo.
Camping pics look good too!

Camping around.

It seems that the setup is generally the same. It must work!

 

[Deano]

It does work. Have you got the SAT dish? Bought a solid wall for the 2.4Mtr squared Compact Gazebo. Worked well on our recent getaway.
Cheers Deano
