Gday mate welcome aboard

Welcome mate you look pretty set up already

[LaughingBeagles]

Welcome mate. Looks in pretty good shape already. Have you thought about drawers? I have ordered a set from Drifta, which includes an extension so I can fold the back seats down to make the space a bed.

Hello and welcome to the forum ,enjoy

Welcome mate. Seems like it's fairly well setup already. Any pics??

[pedals]

I don't see a "kitchen sink" ?

Drive it mate. Ready to go.

Welcome to the forum mate! Seems fairly well setup for touring already.

Possible nods to add. Cargo barrier and some sort of storage setup (drawers, shelves, whatever suits)

Also look into doing NADS. Plenty of info, just search 'nads' on the forum. Being a late model it shouldn't need it but worth having for peace of mind.

Cheers

Just reread, boost and pyro gauge is half your nads already. It mays have the rest fitted, you'll have to look.

Also what do you have in the way of lighting? Worth having good light for when we you drive at night


Cheers
