Hey guys, been lurking for a while and have a camper trailer at the moment which I will be selling. Have been toying with the idea of a van for some time and found a really well priced and tidy 2005 12 foot outback expanda. Its just myself and my partner so the small van suits us perfect. comes with full annexe as well as all of the usual things here are some pics.
Anyway for now its pretty stock. Has recently had a new battery and new tires. apart from that its got a wall mounted air con, dual water tanks (unsure of size), normal 3 way fridge and the usuals.
I plan on rigging up gas hot water. I have an instant water system in the camper which works great so am thinking of doing this and mounting it in the front boot or otherwise potentially installing a Truma. Then I will add probably 400w of solar on the roof in the form of 2 x 200 watt panels just to never run out. Main reason is i will more than likely upgrade batteries and put a compressor fridge in as I like remote free camping and for me they are more efficient and work better but I will see how this little 3 way one goes first.
Basically I was after a lightweight yet durable off road van which I can easily pull up the beach and be quick to set up. Like many others I have looked at all of the super expensive hybrid vans etc but they are big dollars and in reality this thing is probably more practical for what I need and it is nice and quick to set up with good storage.
No doubt the mods will come, i do like to tinker!
