Here we go..Here we go..Here we go....
Guys,
It's a happening thing, I flew to Melbourne, have picked up the "Yanky Trash on wheels" !!! LOVE IT  ... and have started the trip home. I'm in Adelaide at the moment so have only done 900Km (560 Ml) but am really happy with the performance at the moment although would like to change the shift points for the auto on the hills a bit. Mirrors don't fold and have tried the fold in and out manually trick, still no joy. When I fold in manually then try to fold out electrically only the drivers side folds out, will investergate when I get home, otherwise all is GREAT.....!!!
A pic of the H2 loaded for the trip home, will lose 3 of 4 the tyres and the 2 rims here in Adelaide as I'll put them on a truck/train and frieght them home. I've purchased them so I can put a set of offroad tyres on them. Wanted to try out the weight on the roof rack and car in general. Don't want it there when in the bush though. I also have 120 L (31Gal) of fuel in jerrycans, a 60" highlifit jack and my bed on the roof although I've got the rear seats folded down and am sleeping inside whilst in the cooler climates. The roof rack isn't real flash but beggers can't be choosers here in OZ and it's doing the job.
Will post up a trip report when at home. Will leave Adelaide Monday PM/ Tues AM and be home a week or so later.
OK catchya later.

For the hills give the tow/haul mode a shot, it will hold the gears better and I believe it may be what you need in terms of shift point changes that you mentioned. Definately worth a shot.
