Sorry for the late update!! We didn't get home until 4.30. All went well at handover Kelly @ Bayswater did a great job the van is GREAT!!!!!!!!!, only had 2 small issuses 1 there was no converter for the lower bunk but that was soon sorted got one out of a demo model. 2 the winegaurd antenna wouldnt wind down properly, again that was quickly sorted by the service guys. Then went to plug in the 12 pin plug and it woundt fit into the cot-out of the Territory?? go figure didn't even consider that one. Some quick temporary mods and all was sorted.

So glad we went with the underslung axles much better clearance to get in & out of driveway. We are rapt with the finish and quality of the finished product :D:D:D

She's a thinka your wife, thats a great idea, no stacking it and then taking it out when it doesnt all fit. Glad it all went well for you mate, look forward to seeing pics from the first shake down trip.

Good job mate.
Yep, nice floor colour. I'm glad we picked the Boston as well.
Post-it notes worried me at first. I thought they may have been a few imperfections.
Everything looks great. I'm sure you're happy with your new toy.

Now, sit back and relax on your next trip.
Although, by the look of the table, it looks like you already have!

Enjoy.

Happy times there Darcy,
curious about how you went with the clearance with your hitch set up that way? I have a Territory also pulling an outback 17ft van and I'm concerned with ground clearance of the tow hitch neck grounding out on gutters, speed humps etc even though the it puts the car and van nicely levelled.
