Austrack Tanami x11 / 6 month review / Full walk around / Trip around Aus in a hybrid caravan 

Thanks for the honest review, really helpful for us as we are brand new researching what to buy so we found this really valuable 🙂 cheers!

Great review guys, so cool to follow your journey and improvements of caravanning life, thanks so much, love your current camp, fantastic view and got a good vib form the vid.🤙🏻😎

Thank you guys we have been watching you both from the start, we would like to upgrade from our camper to a bigger caravan very helpful. Thanks again

Thanks for your review guys. We are just starting our research and your review and practical discussion have been most helpful. I noticed they put a little seat now inside the van I think that’s a winner.

Good review guys. good to follow your review after 6 months after chatting on your first night on the road at Cervantes. Enjoy the road as im now in lockdown in Canberra. Cheers Alan

Glad I could be the 1000 like. I have the X15. Love it! Great job guys.

Absolute legends lovin watching your stuff keep it up.

Hey, thanks for both your insights and experiences. This is one of the vans/companies I'm looking at. Great review!!!

Thanks for the review. Always good to hear the good and bad, especially after you have been living in the van full time. Enjoy your travels and Keep the vids coming

Sarah and Keelan thanks for the Austrack Tanami x11 / 6 month review 😀😀😀

Good review guy’s. We have a Tanami x13 and love it. As you say value for money you won’t beat it. Safe travels.

Really appreciate your opinion of the Tanami 11. Have one on order and good to know we have made the right choice for us. Hitting the GRR next year. Love all your videos. Thanks.

Thank you it was a great video very helpful, the Tanami 11 looks good. I may go however with the Tanami x15 L. But I think I will put it into a caravan maintenance workshop for mods such as better solar, more batteries, better hitch, better TV aerial, stronger frig slide, grease up hinges etc. also upgrade suspension to heavier shocks. A dust suspension system is an obvious must. I will do a couple of short hard corrugated roads as a tough shake out before doing an extended trip to try to iron out any susceptible design or construction flaws. I think Austrack is fine for the price but with some pre trip shake out hopefully the potential issues can be mostly eliminated during an extended expedition and post trip analysis, assessment and rectification maintenance activity. In any case it is all a learning experience and someone famously once said life wasn’t meant to be easy, but it can be exciting and I think you guys are doing a great job helping all of us, vicariously living your amazing adventures in the great Australian bush. Thank you.

Great videos guys

I'm glad I stumbled over your video. Great honest review guys. Best one yet for the Tanami X11. We also have the Tanami X11 and agree the ensuite is brilliant. On the Lithium, we went with Enerdrive 200 AH and DC2DC charger, so all Enerdrive. With that you can access the battery power with an iphone App and it is spot on. And dust? Wow, we had a carpet of red "paprika" dust over everything after our first trip to Western Queensland so invested in a Carafan. Brilliant, not a speck of dust now on any road now. But the best item we purchased (and they are cheap) was a Stone Stomper. Please consider one as you will be amazed at the difference it makes protecting your van. Again, thanks for a great video. I'll now have to go back through your other videos. Looking forward to that too.

you are right its all about compromise we have a road van done a few gravel roads in it with no problems but now we want to do some roads like the Gibb so we have bought a small tent and we will leave the van somewhere along the way and rough it for a week or two great review guys

Great review Champs well done

Excellent review guys. Cheers.

Well done on your honest review.

Thanks guys for the awesome review I’ve been following you guys from Day 1. We bought a x13 and did outback NSW for 3 weeks recently and loved it. It’s a great little van and we also tow with a 150 Prado. We are putting in a diesel heather and the dust suppression system as we too had bull dust issues. Keep up the great work and look forward to more videos soon! Cheers 🥂🍻

Good review, honest and objective with some good travelling tips thrown in! Luv your vids keep up the good work!

Like your honesty guy’s….good vid 👍

Good honest review guys, that's a sub for me 👍

Great video and what a fantastic location

Great honest review. As you know I've followed you from day 1 and have seen what you've put it through. Friends of mine have the X15L and are also happy with it with similar minor issues. We've got the Savannah X and love it for what we do and have had no issues yet. I've heard that dealing with the after sales can be a bit tedious and frustrating. Your background for this episode was spectacular, I wish we were there with you. Cheers guys, catch you Saturday.

Awesome content guys .

Great vid guys.

Weve had a 30ft 5th wheeler then a no toilet 19ft Hurricain Travller now looking for what you have sometimes big is not better love your round up on the camper trailer well dun guys

Great review guys.

Had mine for 12 months now, everything is all good so far... except the gas heater will not light on the last trip, then when i tried the cook stove the gas would not light. Rang them up and yes the service is a lot better. Just waiting to get a book in date to get seen to. The gas is at the back bayonets as my webber works. So not too sure. Good to know you have given it a bit and the only issues are cosmetic, and most of these items are all the same near enough in these campers. I love the bed, being 6'5" it's awesome. Yes Sarah my wife loves the ensuite!!! and she is all good with the potty talk. Great review, honest with without the stabbing knife talk. 10/10

Thanks guys very helpful video.

Only thing putting me off getting a hybrid fold out is the dust, get video guys, good honest review

Hey guys thanks for the shout out lol. Really happy to help. Only last night I was tossing up selling my boat and getting something like you have to travel in a bit more comfort. I'm not surprised you want a table and chair to do your work. Maybe you should bite the bullet and get something from Bunnings and set up the annex and use that space for working. I do get that wind can be a factor though. Wouldn't it be nice to have everything lol. Don't forget though that money can't come close to paying for the great experiences your having and the memories (good and bad) that you will have forever.

Hey good review. We have a 21ft semi off road full Australian built van and don't worry little things go wrong with them to.

Great vid 👍

I would like to say thank you very much on the video very informative on hybrid camper trailer I have currently have rear fold camper trailer as get much older am now 53 yrs.old & will be looking for something like this as much easygoing set up & Few more comforts. Hope have safe travels ahead for the pair of You’s for the big tour of this country & looking forward to watching. other videos post in the future

Hey dudes great vid . You guys speak so well and natural and easy and honest . Keep up the good work and stay safe . Hope Bushmans come to the party for ya as they gain the advertising. Look fwd to your travels 😎

Great set up mateys :)

Interesting review on your van guys! Most of us start off with something we can afford then build on that. We started with a Jayco Expanda, towed that up the middle and down the West Coast was an awesome van and suites our family of 5. Now we have an On The Move Traxx 17.6 just for me and my husband! Love it and miss camping! Keep enjoying your trip guys! How long until it’s over?

Great review, thanks :) 🥰

Thanks great feedback

gday guys .. that was a cool setup video. didn't see the stabilizer legs go down on the trailer as it shook a bit lifting the roof ?yeah didn't use them just for the video .. lol .I reckon don't push too hard on that electric awning to speed it up as you might strip the ring gears eventually .. your setup is very good !! . I'm jelous !! full off-road touring capabilities!!

Hi Keelan, the van seems to be very well setup and excellent price, everyone wants more room . A friend of mine spent $105-000 on on of the top brand vans, still had issues, try some silicon spray on the awning , step, etc

Thanks for such an honest review, I’m looking into getting the 11 or the 13 sometime this year and couldn’t find any fully in-depth detail about the van.

G'day, very informative! sorry gotta go, more back episodes to catchup.

Try PTFE Dry Lube for your awning etc. You can get it from Bunnings, Supercheap etc. The trouble with CRC etc is that it's wet and will attract dust.

Great tour. So beautiful trip. Thanks my friend. Have you ever been to Vietnam?

That electric awning looks like it’d be a lot simpler and faster to have a manual one🤔 Great honestly reviews as always 👍

Hey guys. Love the vids. Any chance of a Annex setup video

Hey guys. Great video. Can you put a portable small gas stove top to boil your jug or throw a pan on to cook inside.

Hey Guys ... awesome Honest review!! ... but you guys are right (no not about Keelan Being the girl and wearing a skirt LOL), i mean about creature comforts ... inside seating cooking etc ... but that comes at less fuel economy towing bigger and maybe needing a bigger vehicle to tow it ... is there a way to extend your awning full length (like buy a new one or add an awning) and then enclose it with side walls etc? that would reduce some of the wind and give you more undercover room also maybe less bugs at cooking times. also maybe an idea to check youtube or google some of the broken stuff like the fridge slide catch, could be a real quick fix. You guys rocked this episode as you do with all i have seen!!

The Prado is technically a landcruiser... But not... 😂 It has the right badge. I see so many unsuitable vehicles towing big caravans, they look ridiculous. After this review I'll be looking at a 13 foot i reckon for the inside kitchen and seating. I am worried about the fuel economy though. My 2008 troopy is already pretty thirsty at 13-15L/100km 😬 cheers for the review.

Did you stop in at Elenbrea Station and have some scones. We have the x13 ,had it 2 years now and very happy.

Thanks for the 6 month review. We have been looking at Tanami 11 or 13. To know what it is like to live with really helps. Would you go for a 13 next time.

Thanks guys, great review! Not too many hybrids out there to pick from that are Prado friendly. I can see a Landcruiser in your future to go with that bigger van.😁 Any idea what sort of dust suppression system could be integrated in the X11?

no one watches he says... with 15k views 😂 Nice vids, keep up the good work!

Hi guys, we have been watching yr videos with great interest and we were looking at purchasing a Tanami 15. I note initially you seemed to have problems with after sales services, then another video seemed to indicate yr problems had been addressed and you were happy but in yr Big Announcement video, you have again indicated bad after sales service. As you say a big investment so would appreciate any comments on issues you had. Unfortunately we can't afford an Oz made hybrid so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you fully open the prado rear door when hitched up! Great review!

Do you get dust into the external storage spaces? Fridge, kitchen etc..

Just a comment that Australian made caravans also have their problems, Jayco the biggest manufacturer has had some identified on RU-vid. Just like a new car regardless of make they all have issues. I have an X15 on order.

How have you gone with the stock bearings and suspension? Any issues?

Hello! We are picking up our Austrack tanami x11 beginning of May in Melbourne and heading off for a year of touring Australia! I had a question concerning your towing vehicle..can you confirm it is a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado? Are you happy with its towing capacity in off-road conditions? We’re hesitating between this car and the more powerful V8 version, which of course is a step above budget wise… Thanks for your advice!

MDC comes with every thing

Could you open the prado door with the Austrack hitched up?

Hey guys, great videos, but the Gibb is only 700k long... just saying.lol keep rocken

Anyone who tells you that they have had no issues with their new caravan is talking Crap! Even those 100K+ van have issues, talk to any grey nomad and all of them will tell you something has fallen apart etc etc..We have the kitchen inside and never used it in our travels around the prison island!. If you need to cook(well you make coffee) get a gas bottle and burner and make coffee inside, that's what I do when I'm in port lincoln and its blowing a gale(or one of those expensive gizmos(jetboil or kmart copy). Our new cooking( we have not outdoor kitchen) gizmo is the gas frypan(bunnings and supercheap have them) . we use this for nearly everything. the poor old weber got only used twice in our last 8-week travel outing. Keep it simple and light, we also carry way too much shit with us that we hardly use. Safe travels youngsters!

Why don’t you just use the fan in the ensuite? Set it to pull air into the van and boom positive pressure!

Have a look at fantasy caravan a lot cheaper and well built

So what are you doing now?

Look into the camera, when doin a VID, you are looking to the side of it, just check your vid b4 posting,, keep the Vid's coming

I don't think degreaser is the word you're after. Good video though

Why don’t you get yourself one of those little single gas stove .

🔥they are $44,000 now. Do you still think they are worth the $6000 premium over what you paid?

Omg

Is this van made in China?

So what are you doing now?
