New Nova van is HERE
:)Well folks, it has finally arrived. After 5 months of waiting and hoping it was all going to be okay, it has and it is!!! The van is incredible - I've posted an album in the community section as I had 13 photo's and didn't want to take up too much room! We're really pleased with it - we stayed a few days in Perth in it and then drove it home to Karratha with stops at Geraldton (Drummond Cove) and Carnarvon (Big 4 Plantation). Our friends are sick of being given tours of it - maybe they're just jealous that we're off in 7 weeks while they keep working. thanks Sue and Stu

That's one nice looking van Sue and Stu, you should be very happy. We looked at this at the Perth Caravan show, but they didnt make a small one for us. How big is this, and if not too personal how much was it? Just want to compare thats all I spend quite a bit of time in Karratha, love the place. Happy trails, Cheers Mark

Beautiful van Sue & Stu. Just curious you mentioned fixed QS bed. Does that mean it doesn't lift up?

Thanks guys.
Yep - it's a beauty. Really love the colour of the paler wood with the red, black and grey. When you're standing in the van it feels really large. Mark - the van is 23 feet long and it cost $85K - but that includes everything, the leather upholstery, the fitting and purchasing of the engel slide, the purchasing and very particular fitting of the convection micro, the 22" LCD TV, extra sat wiring and extending the draw bar by 300ml. We feel that we got excellent value for money. Tassie - by fixing the bed I mean that you don't have to extend it to it's full length and add the bolster each night. It certainly is liftable - thank god, I'm going to need all the storage space underneath!!! Thanks guys - I'm really excited now for the trip to begin.
