Thank you to everyone who replied to my post, RE a Small Caravan.
Your replies helps greatly in searching for what would suit us, and Bruce it did become confusing, the options that are available, however we stuck to guns and we weren't dazzled by all the bells & whistles.

We have just paid a deposit on a 2018 New Age Owl, 16ft,  private sale.
It's in mint condition, comes with annex walls, solar input, seperate toilet, shower, a 165lt Fridge, microwave, Diesel Heater, it was used a half dozen times, always garaged. It ticked all the boxes.
We are pretty happy.

Thanks again for all your advise.

If we were looking for a caravan to replace our camper , this would be exactly what we'd be looking for.
 Everything you want/need and no extras to make life more complicated  eg single axle.

Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,
We looked & looked. Listen to what swaggers suggested and other Mates that had vans.
The MUX will tow this comfortably, it has everything we needed, doesn't seem to be anything we need to do, except change the 7 pin flat plug to a 12 pin.
We'll keep our Hardfloor rear fold camper, and the 80 Series for two night camps off road/off grid.
I thing daughter No 2 has her eyes on it.

Thanks Pottsy,
It does come with a cover, however I will build a carport to put it in.
It'll have to be big, I'm about to kick off another bow to my quiver, I have a 4.8M trailer, that I have been modify to carry a Zero Turn Cox Cruz, and advertise to do small acerage mowing.
More news of this come mid April.
Trying to get smarter, not work harder, body is stuffed, still waiting for a Knee Replacement.

Nice!

Very similar layout to our 18', & for only 2 people, it's fine

Have fun!

 

[Bird]

Congrats Mr... looks very clean! You'll have to work on that...

[Hairs]

Cheers guys.
Fysh is over the moon.

MUX goes into tomorrow to change the plug from a 7 pin to a 12 pin.
Then Wednesday we'll collect the van.

Hey, just a question, besides a grey Anderson plug, the van has a Red Anderson plug.
What would it be for?
Is this something we'll have to take the van to an Auto Sparky for?
Cheers.

Hi,
   Some (Jaycar and Kickass) red plugs I have bought in the past are interchangeable with genuine grey plugs. Genuine red plugs are a different profile so won't fit.
I use the red & grey to differentiate solar and battery power.
Not sure if others use the same method.
Cheers

Cheers mate,
I've googled, red seems to be used as another solar input.
If it does, the panel would have to match the current panels on the roof, or would it need it's own regulator?
Another couple of google results, said it maybe a stability control system.
Hmm, I'm still thinking I'll take the MUX & van to a Auto sparky.
I really don't want to stuff it.
Thank you for reply.

Hairs, the red Anderson on my van powers the van stability control unit that works of the electric brakes.
It has its advantages when motoring down the highway but a pain going over speed bumps etc where it will lock the the brakes from side to side. Off road I unplug it.
You can drive without it being connected.

The other potential reason there is a red Ando is that it may provide power to the brake away brake control. I think NSW had a different requirement to other jurisdictions. Is there a  little box on the van drawbar with a LED light that run either green for good and red for bad. There will be an associated wire that I attached between the car and van .

Thank you for that info.
It was mentioned to me it maybe for that, Stability Control.

We'll pickup the van on maybe Wednesday evening.
I'll reply to your questions after that.

Hey, I'm learning all sorts of stuff here,  Thank You.

Yep, as per the others, the red plug on ours is for the ESC, & boy, do you know about it when that activates after hitting a bump / pothole or similar at speed!

Rather than changing to a 12-pin plug, you may like to consider another Anderson just for fridge power

ask the owner?
