Sydney Caravan Show

Landy, I know what you mean. I have just finished looking at the new Bushtracker DVD and have a couple of comments to offer from my perspective even though there are other postings I know I could add it on to.

1) If Ivan did to our van what another Offroad van manufacturer does to theirs in their DVD's and Videos, we would be having a domestic which could be heard throughout most of Australia. If someone is going to pay the kind of money you indicate for a van, they would not want to be putting it through the extreme rotten treatment that would incur the kind of damage I have seen on the other manufacturer's footage. And despite whether there is justification to do that to a van (which I still don't think there is), there is no justification to do it to the environment. Therefore I think the BT DVD shows a more balanced approach in using our vans to get to some of the rougher places but without damage inside and outside the van. The "rough and tough shoot em up" kind of yobbo approach to using a van like ours is not one I would support and personally I don't know of any other BT owners who are interested in that kind of travel or who treat their vans that way and come away proud or laughing.

2) Steve, there are times when it is difficult to hear what you are saying on the DVD when you have your back to the camera.

3) Tracey, thankyou for your lovely cooking adventures on the DVD. From a female perspective I think one of the things that interests me is still being able to provide nutritional and well cooked meals whilst travelling and yet not have to spend all day in the kitchen to prepare or cook them.

4) I liked the humour that came through at times on the DVD.

5) Steve, perhaps an on-flow from this DVD is to ask owners to send in their own movies which could be edited together to make an Owners DVD. I reckon they wouldn't wait to hand them out to friends and prospectives if they had been a part of it's making.

All in all, I thought the DVD gave a more balanced approach to the lifestyle and what most owners have bought their vans to achieve, whether it be for permanent or holiday living.

Well done.

Thank you Bill,
That was a very nice comment, and we at Bushtracker appreciate your comments...
Thank you for taking the time, and for all the Newbies sake....

Newbies: There are people out there, that copy our style, but that does not make them a Bushtracker... I just wish we could somehow get the idea out to more people NOT to buy at the Show.. Instead go to the respective Factories and see how the vans are built on the inside... Even though I think we have a nicer finish and equipment, the trip to the Factory should be mandatory before a purchase and will instill confidence in your decision...

To copy our style is flatery, I don't mind... As long as people will take the time to look at the detail and finish but ALSO the structure that makes Bushtracker the top.... Please, don't fall for the outer skin in appearance for your own sake. Take the time to come to the Factory, and if you do, there is about a 98% chance you will own a Bushtracker.

Thank you again "Landy" for your positive attitude and your comments. Cheers. LR

Steve, I am just telling it like I see it. There will be others who may disagree with my comments and that is their prerogative. My little feelings won't be hurt, and neither will our bank budget through having to get needless damage repaired.

By the way, how long is the warranty on a BT? LOL.
