We head to the Moreton bay expo where we discover some ridiculous costs for some new vans. There is no way we would pay this much for a van, its a vehicle at the end of the day. You can buy these and have all the bells and whistles of a new van or you can buy and oldie and make it your own like we did :)

We recently visited a place that sells all things motorhome. I could not believe how expensive some vehicles were. It made me very grateful to find my campervan at the price I did. Those overlanders are very awesome. 😊🚚

Thank you AJ 😊🙏🚐yes we agree the prices are just so unrealistic for the average guy to afford 😮and we’re so glad we built our own van 🚐 ⚒️🛠️

It would be such a blessing to have a Tim, so precious and willing to help, and so handy/knowledgeable about designing, doing and fixing such a wide range! Of course it would be great to have a Sandy as well with all of her skills and precious attitude. All in all great folks, and not forgetting precious Pablo! You hit the nail on the head about prices- at the end of the day they are still just a vehicle. For such high prices they're not built even closely as well as Sandvan! Boggles the mind how flimsily they are built. It's starting to warm up some here so I know it'll be cooling off for you. Stay safe and GOD bless

Thank you Alice 😊🙏we appreciate the kind words and compliments 🤩you are such a lovely subscriber 🤩one of the best in our opinions❤️ Yes unfortunately money and greed plays a big part in those prices and the quality is just barely enough to seem worth it🤦‍♂️gone are the days of quality that lasts a lifetime 😔

Hey guys. Loved this week’s instalment. Nice to see you getting out of the van a little bit rather than going stir crazy. I bet there was potentially a lot of ideas you’d like to try out from the show but from what I saw the prices for minimal quality was way way too much. Love you guys 🤗🤗🤗👍

@SandVan 4 месяца назад

Thank you guys 😊🙏yes we agree the prices on these vehicles are ridiculous when you get the most basic of quality 🤷‍♂️they seem to lack the real quality to justify such high price tags 🤦‍♂️

Loved your Expo video - I ended up buying a RV hose bag after watching. Great work !!

Thank you Garry 😊🙏glad the video helped 😊

@Millionaire-Paul 4 месяца назад

Our neighbours always joke we spend at least two hours tinkering with the van for every hour we spend away in it! It's definitely at least half the enjoyment for us. warm wishes from Millionaire Paul :)

@SandVan 4 месяца назад

Thank you Paul 😊🙏I think the tinkering about in the van is actually just an excuse to be in the van so you can get extra time in it as it’s a favourite place and invokes thoughts of good times and adventures 🤩

@Millionaire-Paul 4 месяца назад

@@SandVan So true, the weather's warming up here now (a little!) so we'll be getting the mattresses and food staples back in it in a week's time now, if all goes to plan. Happy travels my friends :)

@TristandKez 4 месяца назад

@@SandVan I still haven’t done the conversion but the prices seem insane 🤣. TBH the price of a lot of new vans is crazy. Saw some newly converted campervans on a 73 plate over here and they were just short of a £100k 🤪😬. Who’s out there spending this kind of money lol 😂. Safe travels guys…

@Bartonsrving 4 месяца назад

Im with yall thats way to much money to spend on a vehicle. We could use that hose bag. Our budget on a carvan is 20,000 US I think thats around 30,000 Australian. Our current one we paid 14000. Thanks for sharing have a good day.

@SandVan 4 месяца назад

Thank you 😊🙏yes the manufacturers are getting way to greedy with their products and prices

@autumn-dusk 4 месяца назад

It was interesting watching you both walking around the show. I've been interested in the 4WD version of the Explorers for a while. If money was not an issue, I would go with one of those or a Trakka Jabiru. It's fun to dream. 😄
