Another TVan in the mix
« on: May 16, 2013, 09:01:44 PM »
G'day all,
the wife and I are keen campers, now with a genuine TVan, having spent the last 6 years with our own home-built copy. Towing it around with a Patrol and looking forward to sharing our experiences with you all

Cheers

Wagga Wagga NSW is where we are based.

Most of our camping is done in the highlands around about including Vic High Country.

Furthest afield so far has been Arkaroola SA, Malacoota VIC, and BrisVegas QLD. We've camped and seen a lot between those points. I just can't resist a dirt road and hate having to travel the same road.

Looking forward to crossing the Simpson this year!
Cheers,

Clancy & Anne

G'day & Welcome.

I can't recall the last member to join with a TVan, and I have been wondering why we don't see more on here given what a top unit they are.

Clancy & Anne,
welcome to the forum....you'll find a great group of people on here.

A Tvan was on our list as well.
But the KK won.

Which model did you go with Clancy. My wife was watching Patty Callinan today and saw the TVan. I think she is sold. When the kids leave the nest we will have. A good look at these.

I don't think it's quite sunk in, we signed up for a TVan Canning just this weekend, so I look forward to reading some of your experiences as our Feb delivery gives us time to save up a bit more money and feels a bit like a 9 month wait when having a baby with plenty of reading between now and then I'm sure!

We love our Tvan, better half especially. taking it on a school excursion to Lightning Ridge next week. Thing off me with a class of 11/ 12 year olds. It is worth it to see their faces, just wish I got a few days off to recover.
