Thread: New Discovery 4 on the way

Nice Xmas present.

What caravan did you buy?

Yes will go down well for a Xmas present.
We bought a friend's, Supreme Territory Special Build 22'6" internal and around 3200kg with all water tanks, gas bottles full, food, clothing etc onboard.

We came close to buying one of those they are a nice Van. The Salesman killed it by pulling the hard sell on us. I warned him about trying that kind of stuff he tried we walked.

祝你好運 or 好运气 ?

See, you good have driven it halfway home

Personally I decided to do over 5000 + k's on our new crate 2.7 engine along with one oil and filter change before hitching up our van behind the D3.

Maybe this is overkill when it comes to running it in but I would rather take it a bit slower and make sure the new engine is run in properly then stress it while its brand new.

cheers,
Terry

Bruce, I had only 1200 Klm's on my D4 3.0Lt prior to hitching up my 2.2 ton boat and going on a 4 hour trip.
I think if you dont over rev it, it will be fine...........in fact probably help bed things in quicker.
The extra load on the engine won't hurt it, providing its not pushed too hard.
I have now travelled over 70,000 Klm's and she still purrs like a kitten
