The Tuckers 18.58-2 Outback

[Tucker]

Well today is the day 6.5 hours till we pick up our 18.58-2 outback I think the lil kids are more excited than I am but I don't know how that is possible the bad thing is our next 2 weekends are chockers so we can't even go away but I can sit in it and pretend thou.

Good luck. Next best thing to going away in your new van is sitting in it in the driveway.

Nothing wrong with camping at home either! Having a fire drum helps as well.

[Smergen]

Awesome stuff! Yep, certainly looks like the lawn took a bit of a beating in those shots!

 

[Tucker]

Yer it did. Trying to keep it close to the house with a not very big front yard and plants all in the way

We got a wheel clamp for free with the 18 it had a $150 rrp on it but looked like an eBay $60 special but I seen this hitch and got this instead and will buy the matching wheel clamp so I'm wondering if anyone has had these and what are there thoughts.

Hi Tucker, Love the new van! I was also worried about security as my dad had his Jayco Penguin stolen from his driveway even though it had a hitch lock. Those hitch locks look the goods though. We use the standard galv hitch lock with the biggest and best pad lock I could find. We also store it behind a 6 ft gate. The harder you make it, the better chance they will go look at someone else's that is easier. Happy travels.
