Buying a Van

Doug,

Try outback trekker

Would you envisage living out of this van or just doing smaller trips?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Doug,

The van is made by Alpha Fibreglass fom Huntingfield in Tassie.- www.cambridgecaravans.com.au

My partner found a small adv in a magazine - I took a trip across from Vic to look at van - was impressed with construction process and finished product. Very basic & simple van. I going to have some further discussion re changing type of suspension.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Thanks for response. Van would be for wandering Oz for periods of 2-3months at a time. Some soft off-road, some bush camping. Tow vehicle is 2007 Prado TD auto. never had a van before. Trying to make sure pick right van before spending cash. Have been across from Vic to Tassie to factory to inspect - was impressed with progress vans & finished project. Two concerns that I have is living on the mainland & buying a van from Tassie re; maintainance/warranty & type of suspension?
Don't want to tow anything too heavy or big - at 65yrs "young" are past campers etc. Would buy full annex to give extra space for longer periods of stay. Extra gear carried would be fishing gear, fold-up bike, and tools etc.

Cheers.

No worries,

I just thought that, looking at this van it may be a little small if 'living' out of it for any great length of time. We have been going through this at the moment, though I have a young family so need something bigger that this one.

Otherwise it looks like a fairly good option.

Cheers,

Mark
