Yesterday I picked up our new van from New Age In Epping. Its a 16' Manta Ray deluxe off road van. Had a full annex, diesel heater, grey water tank and generator box added on.
After owning a couple of motor homes this is a bit of a new adventure and will be heading out in the next couple of weeks for a few days here and there to check everything out.
Cheers for now
Brett

Very nice Brett. New Age make a nice rig for sure.
It's very interesting how you store the van at home though Brett, upside down and sideways. Are you trying space saving ideas mate

Shogun, I hope you will be happy with your new van, ours should arrive in Townsville the end of next month. We ordered the 19e Manta Ray, with a 2" life kit. We will stay down there for a week to get ourselves sorted out then return to Cairns and prepare for our trip south in October. We hope we will be as happy with the van as Sol from Tully is!
Happy and safe travels

Thanks Sol, it's good to hear that someone else has the same one and likes it. it just ticked all the boxes for me and can't wait to head for a trip away for a few days in a couple of weeks.

Well all we have gone and done it as well. Finally retired the Great Wall after its final epic trip across the Canning stock route, and first bought a landriver discovery 4 as the tug! Then today bought a 2nd hand 2016 june build one 1500km trip Manta Ray deluxe with grey water tanks, diesel heater, and a few other bits for a very cheap price compared with new. Have been looking and lurking around for a NA MRD, thinking I would have to buy new,,. But one came up and bag now we have it. 1st shake down trip to Bright planned in early Feb to get to know the van then off we go on a few adventures for the next couple of years.
