  Thanks Mick,

It was a pleasure to meet you and I really appreciate the time you took to show me through all the bits and pieces that come with the TVAN.

It is all that you advertised and more.

Very happy camper (TVANner..   )

All the very best with the move to the caravan.

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks for the kind words Mark, It was a pleasure.  I'm glad you are happy with the purchase and appreciated the work done 

Good luck and safe travels mate.

The Tvan is now SOLD and gone to a nice new home......

Deposit taken.

Mate, Lotus are on the shortlist.....from what we have looked at.

Mick

G'day Ranger,

Thanks very much for the compliment........I am proud of it 

Mate, as for selling, we have loved it for the time that we have had it and I have had a ball doing the mods etc but we have decided to buy a semi-offload caravan. 

Mick

Durvilaea, I have decided to sell my Tvan as We are going to buy a c/van, see this http://www.tracktrailerforums.com/index.php?topic=1667.0   I am about 2.75 hours from Canberra on the coast.

2005 Mk11 Track Tvan.

Purchased from the original owner in Sept, 2013 it's always garaged when not in use by current and previous owner.

This Tvan is in EXCELLENT condition and would especially suit a fussy buyer, hence all of the modifications/new items added (I'm a bit OCD).  All of the NEW items listed were only fitted in Sept/Oct 2014 for a trip we did up the coast to sunny Qld, since then she has been back in the garage.  There is a little bit of stone chipping to the silver powder coat on the front of the van above the height of the stone deflectors, there are no scratches or pinstriping. 

This was a special build from Track trailer hence the cream body colour and the aluminium walls as in the later models.

Seriously, all a purchaser would need to do is add their own linen and go camping.

The 2 setup photo's were taken Nov/Dec 14 and the rest were taken today, 30/4/15.

PM me if you're interested and I will send you my phone No.

That is an awesome idea, well done to you both......

Cut some ply 12mm thick to the correct height, measure the gap between the underside of the bed and the top of the floor at the sides to get the correct measurement and fix that vertically to support the bed base.

You can make it so that it runs from the front edge to the back wall to divide the storage in 2 or if you use 3 storage boxes across just use 2 vertical supports and have 3 storage bays.

You could fix them in position down through the bed base and up through the plywood floor, thats an easy fix.

When I made my drawers to go in that space I made them a tight fit and took out the dip in the bed, its as solid as a rock now.

G'day Merilyn, we usually only use it when we stop for multiple nights and we put up the big awning.  When we use the sail, we normally just use a small mat I got from woolies in front of the tent door.

If you fold it the right way it does go back into the bag pretty easily and it keeps it snug.  I store it in the front offside locker (opposite the kitchen) along with a rectangle 9 litre bucket, other small odds and ends, spares such as wheel bearings/dust caps, all of my awning poles plus extras for the ensuite, all pegs and ropes in another 9 litre normal bucket, a collapsible bucket, multiple occy straps, banister brush and tray, pull apart normal floor broom, club hammer, peg remover, a mesh privacy/sunscreen wall for the end of the large awning, sail and 1 of those fold up mini clotheslines.  It all fits in nicely once I worked out a plan of where to put everything.

We do have the smaller cgear mat, 2.4m x 1.8m that I am going to put into the back of the ute now that I have SO much more room than the Landy  that we will use under the sail when required.

Mick.

G'day Geoff, I just checked back through my eBay purchases and the mat size is 5.2m x 2.4m from eBay seller autoelecau who was the cheapest at the time.  I reckon its pretty good and worth the 5 mins or so setting/packing it up if I'm not on a nice grassy site.

Mick

You're right Norm, you could see the outline of the window under the vinyl wrap.

Yep, I saw that myself this morning.  The poor Pathfinder looks like it needs some work in the rear end, I reckon it would be on the bumpstops by the way it looked with the Tvan hitched up.......

Good thinking Batman! Thanks.
I'm a tad concerned that the 'pulled up' end of the rivet may pull through the rubber, but I don't suppose that would really matter if it did. The 'head' end of the rivet has to go on the Stayput side or the rivet fouls the Stayput 'mechanism'.

Yes you're right it won't matter, as its just to stop the rubber sheeting from bulging.  You could dab a bit of black paint or similar on the end of the rivet so it blends in.  The ones I used have a 'grip' length of 3.2mm and only protrude maybe 1.5mm from the face of the stone guard.

Exactly, the head is on the stay put side otherwise you would have no holding power the other way around.
