[Robert RIGG]

Robert from Aust. No Calis sold in Aus. We have next best thing, 2015 T5 "TRAKKA" TDi400 4Motion poptop.

Bought new only covered 20000 km as yet and loving it. Just about ready for the big lap around Aus.

Love the site.

Welcome allong from Belgium !
Guess the heat and having fresh water is a major factor while camping in the outback?

 

[Robert RIGG]

Yes to both, you can do without one though NOT the other.

I like that. We're visiting Sydney and the Blue Mountains in January 2017 as my youngest son and his wife have just emigrated, so the first of many visits.
Like the awning leg fixings - can you open the slide door fully or is it stopped from hitting the leg?

By the look of the photograph you would need to fit a stop on the sliding door, or be extremely careful, as you could damage the door on the pole or bracket.

Yes the sliding door will fully open (see 1st Pic) & the front door also opens with the awning all the way up.
Note: the Trakka is based on a LWB Transporter.

You may end up an Aussie!

. It saves having to tie the legs down. Note: the Trakkadu is LWB

Nice house, nice van too
