Here is the specifications page that doesn't seem to be linked too from their website for anyone who is interested.

Spada, if you have crawled under one, where is the 200L of water capacity hiding, I haven't been able to make it out from any of their pics/vids

Sorry about the thread hijack OP

split over several tanks all mounted up between the chassis rails. EVERYTHING underneath has been designed to be fully enclosed within the confines of the chassis rails so nothing protrudes below the bottom line of the chassis. Even the swingarm mounts are behind the rail rather than under it.

Thanks, I thought that must be the case as couldn't see where else they could be, not the cheapest way of doing it but that's what makes it so impressive, its the designed for what is best, regardless of cost.

A small group of cyclists here in Brisbane this morning having a "die in" by laying on Vulture St near the Lady Cilento children's hospital. What a bunch of d-heads!
wrong thread?.....nothing gets motorists on your side, like holding them up with a protest in morning traffic  ;) ::) organised by a Green's candidate apparently, the local cycling mob asked for it to be called off I saw on last nights news.

No stress, I was busy procrastinating at work and thought I'd start a conversation. ;) Don't really care where it ends up...

I was watching a couple of the Bruder promo videos the other night, then straight after I watched a video of the latest model Tvan.
That got me comparing the pair;
* Bruder:
I'd only want a "bare bones" build. Rip out all the luxury stuff (forget about the washing machine, espresso coffee maker and all that junk).
Surely that would get it as close as possible to the $100K mark.
* Tvan:
I'd want all the options (extra water tanks, the new super quick awning, all the options for the rear hatch, etc) and your up around $75K.

Total no brainer there, keep saving and buy the Bruder....




All fantasy talk here of course, at the moment I can't even afford a new set of 35" tyres to upgrade my current trailer....  >:D

Thought I remember hearing about them being cheaper originally from here http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=48503.msg829591#msg829591

$105k base, $120K full spec.

On their website now they are $155K, and that's without the washing machine and coffee maker. It would seem the price of supply and demand has allowed them to up their prices somewhat, doesn't really make any difference to me as it is well and truly out of my price range no matter what. Wonder how far away MDC's version is.
