Hello all,
I should start by congratulating every single one of you, that has posted or contributed to this magnificent site. It has allowed me to research and select every individual choice for our van, before the final sign of.
My name is Paul and i will be a proud blogger on this site from today. The van is a 16-49.1B O/B with all the bells and whistles. Here is a quick rundown of the items in our package:
Expanda 16-49.1B Outback
Simplicity Independent Suspension (rated @ 2000kg with 12" brakes)
Extended drawbar ( by 300mm)
150L fridge
Bed converter for dinette seating
Roof Aircon. - Reverse cycle
Wynguard aerial with signal booster
Control panel
Stereo/MP3/CD system with 2 internal/2 external speakers
22L Hot water system with external shower
Dual water tanks (2 x 82L)
Dual gas ( 2 x 9kg) Bottles moved forward, giving 500mm clearance from van to allow for full width tool box with 4.4 kva gennie.
Roll out awning
Full annex
Extra annexe room. ( adding 2m to the annexe, to allow storage of things like bikes on rainy days/ or an extra play area for kids.
120w solar panel and solar pack (adding an extra battery to a total of 300A/H available)(Solar panel position specified, to allow space for another panel if required)(30A regulator)
Privacy screens and Weather proof screens to both bed ends
Treg coupling
Extra external 12v plug
" " TV point
" " 3 annexe lights (2 @ front making it 3 in total and 1 @ rear above external shower)
2 External large foldout tables (allowing for decals to be placed right from factory)
2 gas bayonetts ( front/rear to move bbq according to wind direction)
Extra double power point under dinette seating
Cabinet of standard wall mounted aircon to be replaced by overhead cabinet
Centre rafters for awning ( for those windy days)
And that's that. They are all the extras selected by us, on top of the standard items for that model.And the price????? (drum roll) DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR $42,000 driveaway... a good buy i think.
If anyone is looking for a similar setup, contact me for the dealers details in Victoria, on paul.s.costa@gmail.com and i'll be only too glad to direct you to the same sales guy, that bent backwards and copped a bit of grief with my hard bargaining tactics. The end product, is what i wanted, not what they were trying to sell me.Cannot wait for the July delivery.
Keep ideas coming fellow enthusiasts, and safe travels.
