For roughly twice the price you could get a second hand bushtracker .

All depends what you want in a van? The KK will go anywhere your 4wd will go ( up to a point ) and that I think is the attraction. It is relatively small compared to other vans ( will still come in near 2 tons though ) and it has a lot of features that are new to van setups, one being everything is diesel powered ( heating, ceran type cooktop etc )

Would I have one- yes if someone donated me 50,000 big ones.

I like the idea of towing the smallest possible size and still get all the features ( alas except the extra room )

Read all the info on net ,studied the brochure ,spent over an hour looking all over one in the flesh ,, I WANT ONE ,,is already a long waiting list ,,$50k is a big ask but eh , you only live once and contrary to some belief you cant take it $ with you.

At nearly 60 big ones for the top of the range, and even though I could purchase one, I think I'd be looking at something that took less effort in setting up. I've been to some pretty remote places and if properly set up, a good 4x4 tin top set up would be a lot more comfortable with less folding parts to let the dust in !

Did you forget that you had already asked this question 2 hours ago?

Hi Garth,
We went along to the Rosehill show and the Maitland show and while we were there checked out what we couldn't afford...
And to be honest I wasn't overly impressed with the 'karavan'. If you're paying that much money for it I think things should be a little more 'practical' instead of what was inside this van...
I guess it all depends on the comfort levels you want and the one we looked at certainly had all of that, but practically, and i being the cook and cleaner, I would hate to have to try and make dinner in that thing.
Dean is more practical in regards to its capability, but in my opinion the interior doesn't warrant the price tag. The cupboards were poorly made and didn't shut properly, and I certainly didnt see the need for the mood lighting under the benchtop.

We walked away thinking we would be better off spending the time and money making one ourselves. but each to their own. our idea of camping and fourby-ing might be different because luxuries like these are out of our price range. I just think that if i looks that pretty it won't last long, and won't look that good after a couple of weeks on the road. when its getting to massive amounts of money i want it to be able to look after itself almost. my idea is that if you want to take a house take it but id much rather sleep in my camp rather than on top of it.

Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for!
