Hi Sandshoe

Glad to hear your looking at some other options. There really are some nice vans around. Glad to hear your not looking at upgrading your Rav.

Have just come back from a trip to Yarrawonga. The Rav did really well. It was quite hilly as you know you go up over the Great divide. I didnt use cruise ever thought it would push her to much. Was just happy to let her ease up on the hills. In saying that we sat on 110 and we made it to Yarrawonga on one tank of fuel, roughly 350kms. Mind you I did fill up with Shell Optimax. I have been using that recently and have found the Rav is running so well, good fuel consumption and feels nice and smooth.

Sandshoe I will send you a message with what I have dont to the rav to try and improve Fuel consumption, it has most deffinatly worked. I am very impressed with what has helped and as you can see I am getting good mileage. I will not post it on here as there are a lot of well lets just say (f*#$*) that dont like other peoples help and opinions.

Anyways, am planning a trip down to Robe in couple of weeks. Have planned to do the beach trip from Robe to Beachport. Have been told to allow a full day and to take some special equipment ect. But cant wait. AM not excpecting the Rav to have any problems. You can clearly see the track on Google Earth and it looks great.

Will let you know how it goes.

Get out and about, Enjoy.

Oh my Dog, you lot frighten me. I was going to tow a small caravan behind my 2.4 RAV4 next year but am confused now. Can I or can I not tow a van safely and economically with my car. Help?

Hi All

Firstly let me say to sandshoe, Wow I hope you have a fat wallet.

Secondly, My caravan is here. Jayco Swan, it is brilliant. It tows perfectly, up hills it drops down a gear but nothing major. Took her down the Great Ocean Road, not a problem. Caravan pulled realy well, no swaying not over heating nothing.

I got the Hayman Reese intermediate system and it levels out the car just perfectly.

Fuel: I always track my fuel every fill. Prior to getting the van I average around 10.2L/100kms, average.I normaly get aroung 460+kms out of the tank before fuel light comes on. The trip down the coast 12.5L/100kms.

Planning a bigger trip over to Robe and up to Adelaide latter in year so im looking forward to seeing how she goes.

Planning to head up to Yarrawonga for a long long weekend in couple of weeks so Im sure that will give me so more good info.

Glad to hear that there are some more keen caravaners with there Rav's other than me.

Get out and about.. Enjoy.
