    These seem good value.

    Yes, but the fitouts seem to vary quite a lot.

    The Mountain Trail LXV 6.2 looks to be closest to the Zone I am interested in. It is heavier than the Zone and seems to have every option ticked as a standard inclusion. Zone seems much more customised. I have mostly keep my needs simple which saves me money and weight. I have deleted some things and added others like a composting toilet. Zone seem to accommodate almost anything if they can fit it in their design. They also use external suppliers that are expert in their fields rather than do their own, such as Cruisemaster for suspension and Enerdrive for 12V electrics. I want to free camp lots but not necessarily do the really rough stuff. If I was doing that then I would look at the Zone Expedition series. They have lots of Youtube videos to see how the different models perform.

I hope to keep mine under 3 Tonne.

    How is the Zone going, I am still not in a van yet, and as I can;t get to shows and haven't sold my business can't place an order.

    Have to work out the power supply yet but have been offered help from the board members. Brakes are in so I only need the Aux Power connection done. Anderson Plug for the DC charger is the last thing .

    For those driving a Sport and towing I have a question ? Mirrors, what do you use for extension mirrors? I understand using a camera but am told that all states require mirrors that allow you to see the end corner of the van ?

    Now for Camera , I am thinking a link to the video input would mean we could use the OME screen to see what is at the rear, has anyone found an easy solution ?

    Thanks

    Hi Bails,
    +1 for the Milencos; I had the aero model not grand aero model. I was able to fit the attachments at the bottom of the mirrors, sliding them in between the housing and the actual mirror glass, just. The bottom of the mirror housing is horizontal not like the upper which slopes. Cutting off the extension tube of the extension mirror, I was able to ensure that the mirror still folded without hitting the door, just.
    Gone - RRS SE SDV6 with Dynamic MY15.5 Yulong White, with LLAMS
