Toy Hauler MY 2013 Basestation Outback

and you know what???? It fits in the back of the Basestation!! but... just about everything does!
That`s a ripper mate! just pop around and i can give you a couple of barrows of nice boxwood
!
yeah cruza driver it did, but I only ordered 1 bracket for some stupid reason... its exactly the same as the jayco ones...
Hope you are happy with the new rig Bigman, I am about 3 weeks away from shelling out some of my hard earned for the same and wanted to quiz you on a couple of things if you have the time:
1, I have an LC200 on order and see you have the same - do you have any leveling bars at all for the van or does it sit ok?
2, I see an extra is the 4 burner stove over the 3 burner - do you know if it comes with an oven or grill?
3, Did they sting you much for the bigger fridge? and does it just impede on cupboard space?
4, The BBQ is a fair whack extra ~$800, not sure if you have seen the Webber Baby Q, reckon one would fit in that compartment?
Looking forward to getting mine - been told it will be ready by Chrissy and loading up mine and my sons bikes and heading out into the bush.
Cheers, Lonski

Hey @bigman0510,
What brand and where did you get your 3rd tank? Was it of the Camec / Caravan plus site? I am looking at a 3rd one and the web sites i can find a 82 ltr that looks the same, but seen as you have been there it takes out some risk.

How did you go with the tank senders and the Contorl Panel hookup?

Hey @Lonski
I love it, and most importantly the family does too!!
1 - I have the ARB suspension upgrade and I still have to have the easy lift WDH, there is about 200kg of ball wait when empty.
2 - The 4 burner does have a grill underneath and the 3 burner has nothing.
3 - The Fridge was $1350 extra, but I would do it again in a heartbeat!! has the Microwave about it and that's it works well!!
4 - We had the BBQ on our 17ft'r but decided not too this time 1 because of the location and 2 we use the baby Q more. The Baby Q does fit into the front hatch with the lid on easily...
Another note, we changed the door that leads into the back area so it swings into that area rather than the kitchen, makes it a LOT better when people are sleeping etc in the rear.
an Extra water tank in the rear might be a good idea too... I had to do mine afterwards.
Cheers,

and the brackets:

The tank is exactly the same as the ones already installed.
I had to beg a dealer for the extra sensors, they are really hard to get!!! and just followed the wiring diagrams on another thread here, you know which one
see how you go....
Thanks for the feedback, keen on the fridge, will ask the dealer RE; door and good news with the BBQ. I am going to go with the single set of bunks out back and a bed converter; i have 3 nippers; 16yo that prob wont want to travel too much with us after the next year (too cool) and a 13yo girl will stay in the bunks and a 7 yo boy that can chill on the dinette conversion until the bigger kid moves out. I want to put the bikes in the back and dont want to make it too congested.
We did a trip across Oz a few years ago in a Finch (yep - 5 of us!) And i had a custom made box for the 'A' frame up front which was great for light stuff and will do something similar so you can have the gas bottles inside the box with other lighter stuff.
Need to sort some goodies out for the new Croozer too; ARB Winch bar, spots, maybe suspension acc to your post but hope not at this stage, might take it for a run without it or try the leveling bars first - going to be an expensive year, thats what money is for isnt it?
No point being the richest man in the cemetary : )

A New mod today... really quick one and cheap.
Kids can't reach the light in the bathroom..Lazy man finds a solution...
Only downside is that is doesn't work with the blue light for some reason, but you can dim it right down so no need for blue.
has some funky light functions so you can do that strobe effect when your having a shower.... (because thats what you want)
It is pretty cool though, cheap, small and it works.

Imagine the parties you could have with the strobe function...LOL
Where were you looking at putting it? Don't go with where the factory wants to put (over the door, you lose a overhead cupboard) we have ours off the cupboard on the opposite side, only a pain if you want to watch TV when all at the table, but we usually lie on the bed I that's the case. I think I have a 22" I will check, could easily go bigger.
Could probably fit a 60" in the back... Lol
