16 footer for sale ?

I am keeping the 16' van, but getting the new upgraded 200 diesel. I am waiting for the dollar to go up a bit more, to bring the price down.

I saw you photos and it looks very nice.

You'll love the 200 Willie.

My 20' van came out with a tare (dry weight) of 2660kg and it tows beautifully behind my 200.

May I suggest you resist the urge to upgrade the suspension and just put in Polyair bags. I put in the OME 200kg springs (lifted the vehicle 80mm) and it complicated things when it came to choosing the corect Reese hitch.

I just have a standard AT-35 hitch and do not use those weight distribution arms. Will I still have these problems you speak of when I put in the HD suspension ?

My current 100TD has airbags and ARB HD suspension and I like the setup.

Did you get that new KDS (?) suspension option on the car ? I was thinking of giving it a miss as I am happy with what I have now on the 100.

Willie

Yes, I got the KDSS. I would recommend that, it's great ON and OFF road.

The issue was lifting the suspension caused me to have to buy a special 150mm offset hitch to get the towball down to the same height above the ground as the std suspension.

WDH may not be necessary with a 16' van. I didn't use it with my Trakmaster but our friends do with their 16' Trakkie and they reckon it's pretty good.

Personal choice, I reckon.
