Hi Guys,
This is the end of our trip around Australia, so it’s time for us to sell our van. If you are looking for a practical and reliable van with good resale value, our van has many assets (LPG, mileage less than 235,000 km, air conditioning…). You will make beautiful savings at the pump with the LPG. It can handle long-distance journeys with no problem at all, even travelling through the outback in the middle of summer is possible, thanks to the air conditioning ;-). Completely equipped and fitted out by our care you will find all the necessities to make a road trip in comfort.
General information
Make & Model: Ford Econovan
Year: 1999
Registration: until 12 January 2011 – New South Wales
Roadside assistance: NRMA until February 2011
Mileage: 232,000 km
Dual fuel: LPG (up to 2 times cheaper than unleaded) and unleaded (Saving space because you will not need a spare jerry can, the van can travel for more than 800 km on full tanks)
Consumption: 11L / 100 km
Gearbox: 5 speed manual
Colour: white (more discreet to sleep in town)
Other: Air conditioned, lateral window and back windows tinted (for more intimacy)
We serviced the van regularly. The oil changes were made by mechanics every 5000kms with the oil filter changed every 10,000 km. The air filter was regularly cleaned.
The previous owner made the following repairs before we bought: replaced the radiator, water pump and the alternator (08/2009) and installed the LPG system (2007).
We also made some repairs on the van, including:
* Maintenance of the air-conditioning and the cooling system
* Changed front-brake pads
* New spare tyre
* Ignition repair
* Repair of the air motor
* Replaced some hoses
* Cleaned the slave cylinders
* Replaced the fuel pump
* Changed the alt-belts
The van seats 3 up front, and is equipped with:
* Bull bar and rear bar (indispensable in case of collision with an animal.)
* Roof racks (great for surfboards or to carry more gear)
* Safety grill between the front and the back of the van (removeable, but we like it because it allows an additional storage space behind seats.)
* 300W transformer with two power plugs incorporated into the van (we were able to connect 1 computer, 2 mobile phones and 1 camera battery charger at the same time).
* 3 lamps: 2 lamps Ikea and 1 lamp incorporated into the van
* CAMPS 4 road atlas including all the free rest areas (indispensable for a backpacker) (upload available) + two guides of the free or low cost campsites (very practical to sleep in the national parks)
* Maps NRMA of all the states of Australia and big cities + more precise diverse maps
FEATURES:
The van was outfitted for long distance travel by us. We repainted the inside (white: more clean) and installed a floor for more comfort. It has lots of storage spaces: four large compartments and of numerous suspended webbing. Everything is easily accessible. We also added:
- Bed frame that folds up to make more room & folding Ikea mattress (10 centimetres in thickness, very comfortable), 1 blanket, 2 pillows, a new set of sheets (never used just washed)...
- Flexible outside table
- Internal tablet
- 3 camping chairs
- All cooking necessities (stoves, pan, flatware, plates, glasses, utensils, thermos, etc…) for 4 people
- 1 gas cooker and a double cooker in fuel (much more economic especially for the long cooking), 2 litres of fuel supplied
- Esky “Tropical Ice Box” 37L (value $175 ) with 3 isothermal tubs
- 2 tarpaulins with all tent pegs, cords, etc…
- Big sun umbrella;-)
- Tool box, jumper cables to recharge battery.
- Bin
- Solar shower
- 3 jerry cans of water, one flexible (more than 50 litres total capacity)
- Basin, clothes line, clothes pegs
... And many of the other things!
