Hi, we just purchased a 22 model base station. Looking at conversions for the couch to bed. What is the best way to do this please?
Can the main bed be used a single without the pop out open? If I buy a base station there will be times I want to keep it closed due to noise and temperature.

Hi We are looking at buying a secondhand 2010 outback basestation 23ft and not having had a van before the weights and towing all seem a bit over my head! We have a land cruiser 200 series and just wondering if someone could please explain the towing capacities before we commit? Thanks!!
We towed the 2012 model with a 2012 Grand Cherokee for 2 yrs & it killed our gearbox, but we were camping 2 weekends each month & it was loaded with 2 x MX bikes & a Generator also. Google the Specifications to get the van tow capabilities then add on for water weight & camp gear to get a better picture.
Great thanks so much! I have started to Dow bit of research and starting to understand the weights a bit more. When you are talking about water do you mean the water in the on board tanks for showers etc.?? If you don’t mind me asking also were you happy with the van overall?? Thanks
We have a 2018 base station outback we carried a 330kg 4 wheeler and a full size motor bike 110kg . We have taken the bunks out weight ratio is an issue for swaying. I’ve been told the payload is 600 kg in the back ?
i have a 2016 Street Glide Harley Davidson 370 Kg or 810 Ib is this too much for the VAN.
Should be fine
would a 2015 4wd colarado tow 21 foot basestation
Yes easily. Indeed we have a 2014 Colorado and it tows the 2013 Outback base station far better than our previous Landcruiser. 2 laps of Australia including real Outback etc . Still looks like new. And have used with 200kg motorcycle. It's Tare is about 2300kg The new Base stations are 23 foot and Tare is 2790kg! This is a problem. While a Colorado can tow the new Base station you actually can carry allot less stuff! Our rig is economical and reliable. The 2014 Colorado is also rated to carry 1 ton. The newer Colorado's have a lower rating. The van is very strong but it's in no way comparable to say a Kendron. Very happy with current 21 foot van and Colorado. I wouldn't change them.
What size TV is in a 2008 model
They have a 'TV point' on the wall - you provide your TV.
Thank you
Can another set of bunks be installed in the basestation?
Yes, we had bunks either side but they were put in by Jayco.
Did you get them put in or that's how you brought it?
Looking at buying a 2019 Base station 23ft and an option in the brochure is a larger parents bed front and rear. I know there isn’t a rear bed apart from the bunk beds, but can you get a larger front bed?

Can any one tell how wide the back door is on a 07 model basestation??
About to buy 21 foot x 8 foot jayco 2013 Basestation. The didn’t realise they sold 21 x 8 ft.
It is a off road version. Do you think it is worth the extra for the off road version. Thanks in advance.
I suppose it depends where you plan on using it, if your headed outback on a lot of unsealed dirt roads with Potholes, then Yes. If you're doing more bitumen driving then 'No'. We took ours to a lot of MX events all over Qld, NSW & SA, so camping was offroad & a few internal tracks but sealed roads to each spot. We also camp on 5 acres of a little rough but grassed paddock 12-24 times a year & haven't had a problem at all. We've had ours 5-6 years now, 12 months ago hubby did have the suspension flipped over to give the Van more clearance due to our short but sloped concrete drive-way entry but this is def. a good idea to do earlier on instead of buying the 'offroad' version. Personally 'No' the huge added expense of the Offroad is not at all necessary & we pull ours up a 150m rough steep slope to a Hillside block with a view. The car is where the money needs to be spent... something that will Tow well & last. Ps. our Brand New Jeep blew a gearbox within 3 years from towing the Van, so we ended up getting an F250 to do the job & hubby says you don't even know its attached. This is not always possible so based on our extensive vanning experience, I would be inclined to turn the vehicle over at least every 3 years to avoid very expensive gearbox costs as they do work very hard if doing a lot of vanning.
