Newbie In Vic

[Jazdiver]

Howdy all. Just joined and thought l would post up a pic of my van and tow vehicle. Van is 18.57 dual end Expanda with slide out lounge, ensuite, oven etc.Truck is 2015 Colorado LTZ with a few mods and Redarc Tow Pro. We are in outer south east Melbourne. Thinking of lifting the van for a little more clearance but then the new annexe will likely not fit.
Migrated from a camper trailer, have our own weekend freecamp escape not too far out of Melb on 13 acres with freshwater creek, dams, wild brown trout, crays, and the odd Koala. We don't eat the crays tho.

welcome to the forum.. A bit of a step up from the trailer.

 

[Smergen]

Great work @Jazdiver nice to have you on board mate. We usually throw a few Vic meets together every year so keep an eye out.

Naturally, I'm a fan of your Tow Rig... quality right there. @Drover... we've got another troop to fight on the beach with!

 

[Jazdiver]

Will do. Yes the Colorado Is an amazing tug. Had a Hilux prior 2013, Patrol 2009 and Navara 2006 models consecutively. This rig blitzes all of them and l had a fairly big boat back then. Only winge l have is when l went to pick it up, the Z71 was released. Had they communicated that at point of sale l would of bought that instead. The small lift made it handle so much better.

Welcome @Jazdiver to the forum and hope to see more of the van and Colorado.

 

[Bluey]

Yes welcome we may have a new place to go for a group meet sounds nice

 

[Jazdiver]

Yeah l could entertain that idea. It's about 50-60km's further north up the road from the wineries of Yarra Valley. Alexander and Eildon, Bonnie Doon not to too far away. Goulburn River up the road. No toilet there tho as l sold the moble home l had on the property.
