Hyundai iLoad


I'm looking to buy a van to go solo in the near future and was considering a Toyota HiAce LWB High Roof but the Hyundai iLoad

caught my eye. Well priced and a reviewer said it may be popular with Grey Nomads.

Anyone here have one or met a fellow traveller with one?

Opinions?

TIA - Bob

A lot of commercial users are going over to the iLoads, not just a good vehicle but also when new have a 5 year warranty compared to 3 years for the Hi Ace. Some taxi owners are going over to the passenger version as well.

Some info & pic's here;

Thanks for the quick reply.
It seems the NRMA are using them as well.
If I get one (or anything else for that matter), I'm keeping it simple with minimal conversions to keep the weight down
and maintain good fuel economy.
Will keep you posted.

I didn't think I'd have to do this for you, Vic.

Sounds like there are still some glitches Vic.  Thought it was funny your links weren't clickable.  I've re-posted on the cooking thread.  Hope it stays there this time.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Have a look in Helps and Hints in the General Forum Vegemite.
The Dog Lady has done exactly that and has explained it well.

 Thanks but she has a HiAce. I'm considering an iLoad.

Thought I'd just pop in and let you all know I ended up getting a Mercedes Benz Vito 109 CDI XL.
2.1 lt diesel, 6 speed manual.
I won't be modifying it as a camper, instead keeping it simple by tying everything down in tubs and leaving myself plenty of sleeping space and room to move.
I may even get a small tent with standing room to cook in.
I plan on basing myself in Tasmania, probably a flat and do week long trips exploring the Apple Isle.
I have about 15 months 'til retirement so plenty of time to plan.
