Well the wife and I went out and checked out some of the local caravan dealers and were very taken with the Avida Topas caravan. They were offering an attractive offer with Isuzu for the van and a D-Max so I was just wondering if anyone had some feed back on either? Thanks :)

Hey. Welcome.
Don't know about the Lightweight vans but I wouldn't be too keen on our roads
if you ever going off them some areas.
The D-MAx.
Value for money. reliability and economy.
None other can touch them. seriously.
Look at their sales ranking rises, over the last 7 yrs.
Not as fancy as some but. You want a tug. or a car.
Plus. another little thought.
You ain't had vans b4 right?.
Me. after a lot of yrs at it. and 3 new expensive vans on there.
now buy second hand ONLY.
A year or couple old.
A lot buy van. do trip. sell van.
Plus lose a lot of dollars in value too (let somebody else do that)
Most niggly things fixed. and usually a few nice extra's already built in.
Same with Tow Veh.
I bought new veh's at end of warranty for decades.
Last 3 have been run out demo models.
Di's Honda was $27k new.
340 km on clock full tank. full warranty and roadside assist.
Taxi fare from airport. $23.5k.
My Patrol $57k new. prev yr model 32kms. $53.5k.
This D.Max. 3 months out of 3 yr wty.
67k on clock.
ex gov't Plumbing managers wheels Really "As new"
$23.5.
over $43k new.
Tows my Tandem van without a murmer.
When you get older. you realise.
NEW is a con. from both Dealers. Manufacturers and Governments.
They getmore money out of you in sales and taxes.
WHn. a few miles on clock. Still new veh.
Somebody else had the depreciation. You got any glitches already fixed.
WIn. Win. WIn.
Once you get your brain past the "NEW" vhicle syndrome.
As said. it's all a big con.
Think about it.
even if you one of those.
"I'd like to have a new one just once".
It's Lots of money to pay extra for a 2 second dream.
Once papers signed. Depreciation sets in.
You lost.
