Thanks for your comment. For clothing you would use the 3 big drawers at the back of the trailer along with the 3 drawers under the bed which for most people is sufficient for all clothing and towels etc needed. You also have the open section underneath the bottom drawer at the back of the trailer for shoes to tuck away in. As our trailers are a narrow body which is key for offroad ability when going down tight tracks this does limit our internal space so it may seem less than what wider trailers offer but this is the sacrifice we make to allow the capabilities our trailers offer. In regard to induction cooking, this could be done if desired. We have set the electrical system up to handle an induction cooktop which most of our customers take with them portably and use it inside if they do not want to cook outside on occasions. We have not yet found that many people want to delete the external gas cooktop so at present we are sticking with this as the standard, but as outlined this could be deleted if you wanted to run off induction.
Thanks for your comment. We are doing this the same way we do our gas bottle compartment which we do not have issues with and have been doing this for many years. We are running the hose towards the rear of the trailer which prevents scooping water in. This hose comes up into the box and is then roughly 40mm higher than the floor which is already around 600mm off the ground. If you are moving through water we do not see you having any issues, we just do not advise stopping in water higher than 600mm if possible. We cannot fit valves or covers to this hose as it would impact the venting aspect so we have done everything we can to comply with the regulations with as little impact as possible on our trailer’s performance.
Just want to say Luke and team... really appreciate you doing these types of vids, as well as the vids walking viewers through your various vans. I've sold my old camper trailer and looking to upgrade.... it's this type of customer service/consideration (as well as being Aussie made) that keeps me coming back to AOR as my next upgrade. Keep the vids coming. Cheers 🍻
Our new builds meet the latest battery regulations. Any older trailers that after November 2023 have changes to their charging systems must comply with the new standard battery and solar requirements. We can't disclose the standards publicly due it is copyrighted material licensed to SAI global caravan industry association of Australia.
The dust cover for the door vent is just begging to be turned into a step. It's already there might as well use it instead of removing and storing it somewhere. Just my thoughts.
The new legislation is the AS/NZS 3001.2 electrical installations- connectable electrical installations and supply arrangements. Unfortunately we cannot send a link to the standards as this is for manufacturers only. It is copyrighted material licensed to SAI global caravan industry association of Australia (they have stated that distribution, storage or use on a network is prohibited). Hope this helps!
Note, this new regulations are not retrospective but these fault-containment design features are very important and people should consider ways to upgrade their existing lithium battery installations on any make or model of camper or caravan.
@@DIY12-24v which I can't see being possible to police for DIY installers provided your van has a pre Nov 23 build date. Imagine insurance companies might end up adding a clause to place burden of proof on the owner of older systems to show when the install was done.
I really like a lot of the features of the outdoor kitchen, but being 157cm tall, it looks like I'd need a platform to cook on the stove and a ladder to get anything out of the pantry! Would suggest a move to induction too for longer off grid. Although the dark colours look "tough" I'm tipping it's going to be roasting inside in the heat.
Thanks for your feedback on the Quantum. As part of the S5 design we reduced the kitchen height from the previous models but as this is an offroad trailer and requires good clearance underneath(making the body naturally higher) it is hard to get the kitchen height down anymore without sacrificing the storage drawer underneath which is such a great feature we are hesitant to delete. In saying this, the airbag suspension option does a great job of been able to reduce the suspension height therefore naturally lowering the kitchen height if needed which in turn will also assist with accessing the built in wall pantry. We are starting to look at induction cooking externally but the issue here is that the trailer is based on cooking outside which inturn means you will use this 2-3 times a day which then can impact your battery power quickly especially when the weather is not great and therefore you are not getting any power back into the system as induction cooktops draw a lot of power to operate. Although gas is now regarded as ‘old school’ this still operates off a separate fuel source to battery power which is still appealing been that battery power is one of thee most important things you need when living off the grid which is what our trailers are designed for.
Hi Luke, that looks very innovative, all AOR need to do now is get away from the manual lift roof on all their designed trailers As owners of a Odyssey it is its biggest bug bear.. it is So old school to have to manually lift a pop top trailer nowadays.. Most other manufacturers have automated the roof. Please put some thought into it.
@@davtreloar9236 running out of power when off grid is a lot more likely, you can easily accidentally do it. Can’t even close electric actuators to drive without power, let alone the failure rate on the actuators themselves. Besides the fact that you can open the manual roof in about 3 seconds instead of a full minute plus for an actuator to do its thing.
Just because ya changing over to a diesel hot water system you still carnt block up the vents in the van because they still probably running a gas cook top stove and oven be careful what you say guys
nice trailer. seems odd listening to a Yorkshire twang advertising Aussie trailers. That outdoor kitchen needs a redesign, most of it is unusable, nice features but unusable. something to think about for Quantum 5.5
Thanks Graeme, did you post the FAQs somewhere? Any chance you could kindly provide a link? Perhaps they could be uploaded to the Facebook ground or the AOR forum? Thanks
Can 16" rims be used (assuming adequate load rating) or are there clearance issues over the drum brake? I want to run 265/75/16 tyres (803 mm diameter) to match vehicle tyre size.
Hi! Yes you can fit 16" wheels and tyres so long as they meet the minimum load requirements, we don't supply 16” as an option but you could supply them at the correct specifications we require. Hope this helps, thank you!
You have shown and described the new jockey wheel bracket for its intended purpose. That is really informative but I got you to fit this bracket to my Sinergi last year for the sole purpose of attaching a BBQ arm to it, and I think it would have been really beneficial for future customers, to actually show this BBQ ARM demonstrated in the jockey wheel bracket. I have found it invaluable. Maybe prospective clients will too.
We have a MPT with Fighter Jet Grey Armor wrap on the lower half and I have found about 6 little razor cuts in the wrap. What do you recommend to seal these cuts?
👍 nice, because I've only got a limited height in my carport it's in the list of vans that are under 2400mm height. i do agree with all your mods , i believe that the series 5 has a lot of them as standard. great job with the review. now i just need to think about the money side of it because it's up at the top end
Hi I was wondering if you could do a RU-vid on the OGO composting toilet, so we can make a decision on the toilet that we want in our Quantum Series 5. Thanks
