jherron Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hi Scott,We have a 2001 ATV poptop since new #73. We recognized the strength and build quality back then when no other van came close.I can assure you that as long as it has been reasonally maintained you will have a lot of fun with it.They are built like a brick s---house in fact you will find that the checkerplate surrounds is the real deal not like the more recent models. We love our van it may lack some of the modern additions,no toilet etc but have outside shower and at our stage of life are still happy to rough it a bit. We have added some extras, (solar,DC to Dc charger,reverse camera,stone guard,LED lights,) Hope this helps with your decision Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hello Scott and welcome to the Kedron Family,We too had a 2001 Kedron Pop Top van and only sold it late last year to buy another Kedron XC, we upgraded to a full van with shower and toilet.Our 2001 model took us everywhere. Some of the trips we did in our faithful old van, the Savannah Way, The Great Central Road, Oodnadatta Track, Strzelecki track and many more, too many to mention. Like John we had solar and a few other additions, our last addition was a gas heater to keep us warm during winter. Also agree with John about his description on how they were built in the early days.Our fuel consumptiom was a lot less with the pop top than the full van. At times we miss the old van.Look forward to seeing you on the road somewhere.Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
