SubscriberQuick update. Been on the road 10 days now and the van is great. Only downside is trying to tow it in gale force winds with the 101 - not fun...
Anyway, down at Victor Harbor for a couple of nights glamping in a caravan park on a powered site (I know, but it does make a nice change having mains running water and being able to leave the TV and all the lights on.)
No real issues apart from the left side wheel arch leaks when driving in the rain - this caused my inverter to get quite wet, but it still works fine so I've relocated it for the time being. Also got a small leak at one end of the van when it poured the whole night on Monday evening. I haven't done the windows yet, so that's not too bad in my book.

SubscriberGlad it wasn't just us suffering on the way back from Melrose.
Did you find somewhere green to camp? We are in a lovely lush flood irrigated park for a couple of nights.

Yep, even I struggled, fuel economy wise, on the way back. :-o

SubscriberWell, made it home in one piece.
2,460KM in total and averaged 23.4 LPH towing with the 101. Pretty happy with everything, but still some work to be done. It will be taking a bit of a back seat for a couple of months while I sort out a few other things around the place now.
Got the RRC and Cam's series 3 to be cracking on with now.

SubscriberIt is, but SWMBO seems to think it needs more than just a drivers seat for an interior for some reason....
Then there's the respray, winch and bar, new suspension, etc, etc....
Plenty to do.

That was because the average speed was about 70 kph = 70 km done in 1 hour ?
I am worse then Ron

Although 70KPH wasn't far off the mark

I guess that 23.4 per 100 it is not bad at all considering the brick shape of the 101 and the van.
I get that on the 3.9 without towing but then again I am a bit heavy on the foot
