Our research into our new van continues.... Found a Mag with reviews of both Driftaway and Billabong vans, and they both look good on paper.
Does anybody own either of these vans? Comments would be very much appreciated.
We are heading off to Melbourne next month (after scool hols) to check several types of van and hopefullly place our order. Dreaming of retirement!
Thanks

I've been happy so far with my Goldstream. Their factory is at Packenham east of Melbourne and they deal direct although they may not have anything that suits you or you may be looking at the second hand market.

Thanks Jim. Yes the Goldstream is first on our list. And unless theres a miracle and we find a second-hand one that suits us, it will be a new one.

Hi Rosey, We have just placed an order for a Billabong GottaGo or Bushbasha. Off-road 16 - 17 footer. Spoke with the manufacturer and he is more than willing to make changes to the usual layout - so we are very happy with the prospect of getting the van in the next few months.
