Saw an A'van for sale today
Permalink  

Driving past a car yard in Lithgow (NSW) today & noticed an A'van similar to Dougwe's for sale if anyone is interested.  Not certain but it looked a bit larger than Doug's.  Price indicated in very big signage (assume that means the want it out of there) was $19,900.  Used car yard on the Great Western Highway near Macca's, think it's Lean & Bennetts

Probably is the bigger on Darrell, I have only seen a couple of my BIG rig around so far but heaps of the bigger one. I love my "Sportliner" suits me fine. I see all the big CV's and trouble they have getting in and out and around trees etc and am more than happy with mine, works for me anyway.

Purely as a matter of interest, how many does the A-Van sleep?

Milo the Sportsliner Doug has is, I think the lightest of the Avans.

I have a 08 Corolla and evidently it would be ok for me to tow with.

Now whether I would need reversing camera, electric brakes and

some ratchet thingamy to move this monster around is yet to be seen or decided.

Milo I tow my sportliner comfortably with a Suburu Liberty 2.5i. I don't have a reversing mirror but I do have electric brakes and do need towing mirrors as my car mirrors are just a little bit short to see traffic behind safely.  Don't think I would like to tow with anything smaller, it would be fine on a average road but it would be a struggle for instance driving up the Toowoomba range.

Hope this helps smile
