Our new Outback 18.57-6

[Are We There Yet?]

Well, she's finished and there at the dealer's waiting to be picked up, but we can't get there until 4th August
Hubby was passing Jayco today and got a photo of her sitting and waiting for us

Did you want me to pick it up for you to make sure everything works I can then drop it back at the dealer for you

 

[Moto Moto]

Thats a very nice looking van!

Thanks, I can't wait to get her now. I feel like a kid who is counting down the sleeps until Christmas :laugh:

Just thought I'd put it out there :happy:

 

[Are We There Yet?]

So today was d-day

We're very happy with everything although there was a lot to take in at hand-over, but I'm sure we will get used to it all soon enough
Here's some more pics;

Here's a few pics of the outside, as it got too dark last night to take any.

 

[Moto Moto]

WOW! That looks fantastic!

It would tower over my poor little 14 footer. Did you tow with the new Challenger? How did it perform?

 

[cruza driver]

Awesome !! I've seen a few new ones on the road lately and one was actually getting towed by a challenger down the eastern freeway last Sunday night, very impressive.

Have you got any trips planned yet?

 

[Are We There Yet?]

The van towed very well behind the challenger and even though we had to sit in peak traffic, we still got 11.4 L/100k economy so it will be interesting to see how it goes on the open road.

We've got 4 main trips already booked to Big4 parks, spread out over Sept school holidays, Melb cup weekend, January holidays and next Easter.
I like to be prepared and get in early, especially with the kids being very young still

We will do last minute weekends away too when we can. How does that ad go? "Life will be one big holiday" :thumb:

 

[cruza driver]

Sounds like your very organized :thumb: at least your not going to miss out on a site

 

[Bushman]

Awesome rig, saw a triple bunk on the weekend though it was the older external stripping colours,

Hey Moto, note how the rear is done, reckon your should have been done similar to that, would have solved the bike rack number plate problem. Note the rear mount spare :focus:

Well done, the van looks great and now I really can't wait!!!!!!

Is the drawbar extended?

 

[satyoga]

Looks awesome, well done well done, that is a really nice van and one that is certainly get plenty of use by the sounds of it

 

[Are We There Yet?]

Well done, the van looks great and now I really can't wait!!!!!!

Is the drawbar extended?

No, it's just the standard drawbar.

We had a lot of fun today putting everything into the van, it's so nice to have a lot of cupboard space, especially after previously cramming it all into the Eagle. We might actually be able to put all our clothes into the van now, rather than having to live out of a bag!! I also have 2 big cupboards set aside for food
