    Some Tvans don’t have a slide out kitchen. So this will affect price.

    Thanks Nick,

    I'm moving house end of Feb early March - Hence my planned time-frame for the TVan - I figured I'd wait until I have somewhere to store it and I have one less thing to move.

    On the other hand.... I spent an hour today up at Track Trailer's showroom in Bayswater with Dave (DI5CO), talking Tvans and Land Rovers - he was super helpful, discussing pro's and cons of different models and what to look for etc.

    Thanks for your time today Dave, it was awesome...... I am sure to bug you more before and after I purchase .

    Just picked up my new (to me) Tvan. I now own two Track products! I was going to keep using my RAAF trailer for camping but decided we really needed a bit more comfort. Mostly we hope it will make setting up and packing up a bit easier. With three small boys it was becoming a major operation. Will need to change hubs and wheels to match the landy and work in getting the ball weight down on the Tvan. Moving batteries to rear floor, etc. Probably ditching the spare on the van and carrying two on the landy.

    Yeah it's a lot of dollars. I could certainly never justify buying a new one that's for sure at 60k but plenty of people do along with a 100k plus vehicle to tow it. We camp a fair bit on weekends and go away for a at least few weeks every year. I expect to own it for at least 10 years and be still towing it with my 300tdi.

    25K is bugga all for many people these days.

    There are heaps of vans around in the $75 to $120K bracket,being pulled by $120K plus vehicles,with around $20K of mods done to the vehicle as well.

    Your right though, its ridiculous,way out of my price bracket as well.

    Congratulations Trout


    My purchase has been delayed by a few things - but is definitely still going to happen, most likely late this year.

    Eevo, you are right it is a lot of money.

    Plenty can't justify the cost - but they sell plenty of them and they are popular enough to really hold their value.. so there must be more than a few out there that can justify the money.

    I cant justify a new one for my needs.... but a good reasonably recent second hand one fits what I want and can afford. History says it's unlikely to depreciate massively, so why not.
