Our First Van - A New Experience


Have just purchased a MDC XT14.  

Delivery delayed for a couple of months while Customs went through their wage disputes and had a "go-slow" clearance program on the wharves.

Have conducted the initial deployment and are very happy with the set-up and towing performance, albeit the first trip was not a true x-country trial.

First fix will be to eliminate the plastic taste from the water system - suggestions viewed from the "Techies" section of the forum will hopefully provide the fix.

The trial trip also proved to be an experience when setting up the annex in a rather lively breeze - the pull-down was as equally challenging.  

Regards to All

A friend of ours is in the process of purchasing the same.

They look a neat and tidy unit.

Happy Trails

Mostly assembled in Oz - chassis, aluminium frame and outer shell come from China.  Like a majority of other Oz caravans,  stoves / sink combos (Thetford), air-conditioners / annex awning (Dometic), fridge/freezer (US), TEAC TV, Fusion stereo (NZ) - all this stuff is imported and has to pass through Customs clearance.
