The previous owner fitted it out with 18mm mdf and chipboard, which I have slowly replaced with ply where I have been able. The actual weight was around 11.5 ton, we were carrying a lot of gear when we first left, a lot of which we didn't use plus we were topped up with 500 litres of water. Old battery technology has been replaced saving more weight. GVM on plate is 10.5t and had to pull in to a weighbridge up near Darwin and was given the green light to proceed, in SA I have been waved passed.
