We are still looking for our van..... Long long process.
We are thinking of a Galaxy Viper. Has anyone heard of these or have one? I did a search on the forum but have drawn a blank.
We were thinking of a Kokoda off Road van but have heard they are a re-badged van and you don't really know who is building them so that kind of puts us off.
thanks
Vic.

Personaly I think the best bet is to go with a van name /build that has been around for some time, a proven track record.
Being such a market for vans/motorhomes there are names that pop up over night & gone a few mths later, people trying to cash in on the market.
Hey Dibs !! Jim was not Praying ?? he was giving advice

Agree with Jim as well. Not sure of your budget but the Seachange looks pretty good on paper and I like the full insulation and glass finish.

I thought that Galaxy was a known brand of caravan. The Viper is their off road. I may be wrong though. I will look at the Seachange. Thanks for the advice.
I just had had a quick look online. The seachange is a beautiful van, but out of our price range. :(
We are looking at around $50k. It will be our first van. Maybe we are expecting a bit too much.
oh another question. The lady at the galaxy yard told us that if we get a van with a slide out BBQ the cooking smells go through the van so we are better off getting a small BBQ and keeping it in the too, box. Has anyone had any problems with this?

We have been told to stay away from jayco vans as they are mass produced and not very good quality. Hubby seems to think they are not as strongly made as others This is just so hard.

So has Jayco and they have around 60% of the market, they must be doing something right.

Think you will be hard pressed to find any big name caravan build that is not built from re cut flat packed gear.
Unless you get a one off type of build and have a pocket full of money.They churn them out these days like a production line in ..well a caravan factory, not like back in the good old days where quality was what mattered....
If they built houses like caravans,there would be a national out cry.
