[Buckleys]

Well we FINALLY have our VAN!!! Almost didn't happen yesterday and hubby was about to kill someone to get it... (the lights on our ute tray were not wired right!!)but we drove out with it!! We got home about 8pm last night and the kids were beside themselves and wanted to sleep in it last night... that is tonight!! We will set it all up today and get some more pics for you with the annex set up!!

We have decided to sell our Hilux and upgrade to a duel cab land cruiser!! We have been thinking out getting one for a while, so guess this is our chance to get one!! So, we have solved the problem!

is it me, or is that the funniest looking Landcruiser Dual Cab seen.....

hahahahahaha

just kidding, looks good (the Van, not the Landcruiser)
bet thats a weight off your mind now that its home......

cheers'

what kind of annex is that

I got them from Howards Storage, had to cut to size.

 

[Buckleys]

what kind of annex is that

It is a "not just canvas" annex. It is full but the walls are made of a material that is very thick mesh, keeps the wind out (haven't tested with rain, but I think that it will go pretty good!) this is how they have got around the fridge issue with the gas. But we are very impressed. We got it through Brisbane Camperland, Paul being our salesman, he is the one that suggested it.

Hi, I got them from Howards Storage, they do have some like this at Bunnings also, we cut to fit.

Gee haven't been on here for ages!! We have been away in the van over the xmas holidays and had a great time (storms and all!) we have a few issues and we are taking it back on the 29th for its service, so hope that they can fix all the problems then!!

We ended up getting a 2014 Landcruiser 200 series.... well we have no problems with towing now!!! The hubby LOVES the power... I just look at the fuel gauge going down down down when he is behind the wheel!!

Hope that everyone had a great holiday!!
