Our New 16.49-3 OB has Arrived

[mccrlc]

After a nasty week of wind & rain in Tassie, Mother Nature gave us enough time yesterday to drive to Hobart and back to pick up the new van without any wind. Lots of snow about on the hills though, but I didn't mind that.

Lots of tinkering to be done in the next few weeks & then a trip planned in the Sept/Oct school holidays.

A couple of photos attached, I hope

Congrats on your pick up.
What extras did you order/ mods have you planned?
Our 16-49-4 touring is on order due early sept we hope.
Of course more pics please.

Looks like a rippa mate. Well done. What are your first mods? Am sure that won't be the only bottle of red consumed near that beast. Enjoy.

Thanks Delano.
All the standard features with the drifter control panel, external table, table conversion for the extra bed & privacy screens.
Mods, I have been pondering them today, diesel heater, stone guard, move the spare Tyre to under the rear, home made water proof bed ends if we deem them necessary after a few trips (or buy them), hopefully not many more as I think it has all the bits we need.

I will get some more pic's up soon, been busy today better half's birthday so been out and about with the family.

Cheers and thanks.

No breaking across the drawbar, Josef Chromy champagne is way to good for that, apparently.
