It’s great to see some baffles, it’s amazing how many people don’t understand the benefit of them. i like the slot and tab concept for the baffle plates, makes fitting them a lot easier, looking forwards to seeing the finished tank

I wouldn’t get a loan for a a RV, if I can’t afford a hobby/recreational purchase with cash, I can’t afford to buy it, it’s as simple as that for the majority of hobby/recreational purchases, I would deem them depreciating assets, a little fun is going to cost dearly in the long run.

Ouch, that hurts, but you will have a decent resale value if you ever decide to sell it. It looks like a great platform, yes it would be great to have more space, but like you pointed out, you will have more exploring options in a smaller rig. looking forwards to the build

Yeah, It does seem a little odd that Simon hasn't posted for a long time, I hope he is all good, for those who have his contact details, is he ok?

It'll be interesting to see what it weights. You did lose a few KG's by changing the over to lithium, having said that, weight always creeps up over time

This is what happens when u use a head gasket that’s not formed from J B Weld :( hopefully you find an answer to the issue, and it’s a easy fix. how are u still sane after everything this girl has thrown at you……

Im surprised that they didn't offer a HD version with a higher GVM, allowing for more payload. I understand that 3500kg is the limit for those on a car licence in Euro and UK, but here in Aus it is 4.495Kg and other countries could take advantage of more Payload

awesome to see some progress, hopefully the fix works, that crank is holding up :ROFLMAO:

I can see a decent demand for the server rack sized battery packs, they seem well made, good BMS's and they communicate. I looked at these, but ended up ordering eight 304ah EVE cells and a few JDB 200amp BMS's as i didn't have the space for the rack sized batteries and my Votronic works fine...

Awesome work as usual Iain, looking Forwards to your review and thoughts after you head out for a trip

Aus Registration is still required as far as i know for the Carnet to be valid while overseas, others will chime in, its worth asking this question in the travel planning section, RACQ or any of the other state based motoring associations have info on the Carnet system i'm sure there is a way...

It'll depend on who did the conversion, some use 200 series land cruiser parts. It could have been done by these guys https://www.bus4x4.com.au The single wheel option would be a great upgrade. As for LHD conversion, how deep are your pockets and i can't see it being able to get rego in Aus...

You are going to need a bigger tube of jb weld ;) Good luck with the fix, from reading your posts and following your thread, there isn't nothing you can't fix

I can see you having some awesome adventures in that van in NZ, its a great place to explore. we are looking forwards to getting back over there at some stage with our van

white roof for sure, it'll reflect the heat and not absorb as much heat compared to a darker coloured roof colour. That skylight frame looks strong enough to support a turret gun :LOL: enjoying the build thread (y)

its amazing how a new paint job can do to an van

I guess when you have a protected industry, you miss out. its Nice to have options, although we miss out on a far bit here due to our stupid ADR Rules And due to being a small market.

the H3 roof is a little to high for my liking

Well it looks like they are finally getting shipped out, due to the COVID delays. my local dealer here in Aus, said it is still at least 12 -18 months away, due to shortages But im looking forwards to see some real owner reviews on the brake upgrade, the transfer case over the last model with...
