INCREDIBLY LIGHT WEIGHT 16ft URBAN ARMORLITE OFFROAD HYBRID CARAVAN FULL WALKAROUND / BEST HYBRID 

Great job, we'll all live vicariously through you! Have fun guys, awesome caravan!!! Thank you!

So stoked for you guys this van is epic! Will definitely make your travels more comfortable & can’t wait for the vids of your adventures 👌

That's a fantastic Hybrid Van guys, one of the best I've seen and a 16ft Van weighing in under 2500kg is well worked out and should be inter-operable for most 4x4s - Good luck travelling with this awesome new rig, you've nailed it

Love love love this van walk through!!! Great work guys and very nice to see it in depth. A request from me would be if you guys did an add on series every now n then? Like what little extras you added yourselves as you continue living in the van. Like the hat hooks Sara pointed out during the walk through. I find those little tweak videos awesome to watch

Wow! Congrats !! youve done so well and deserve this van !! top notch !! definitely enjoyed watching this video!! 2 years of travels to come !! you guys are so lucky !!

Yay!!!!!! About time you show us your van in detail can't wait to see

I’ve watched hundreds of walk arounds yours is top shelf well done guys great setup all the best to you both

Absolutely love it guys! So much space for you! Love the different water tanks and that your air con isn’t in the roof! Fab use of space throughout the van. Happy New Year xo

Great job guys, looks great, well thought out. Can’t wait for new adventures, merry Christmas 🎄

Wow congrats on your new van, you can see from the tour you have both put a lot of thought of what you needed for your travels ,great layout enjoy the van you both deserve it , I reckon you will have even more friends walking up and plugging in induction cookers , blenders , air fryers once they see this vlog 🤣🤣🤣

Top show..accurate simple appraisals as the young couple see it and live it..and are'nt afraid to mention their budget considerations. Also a very well spoken team..Keelan well displays his gentlemanship to Sarah seeking her opinions and listening to her comments and imput with intent.10/10.(would it be politically incorrect to say the 'strong chemistry ' is easily observed between these youngsters). Look forward to your series.

Awesome walk around guys, well done! We're so glad that it's all Ridgey-Didge! 🤘Yew!

Congrats on the new caravan seems very practical van on the outside with it features loved the red light idea instead of white or yellow lights Very nice stylish inside the van with plenty of storage in it

Love your Urban! Great choices, very impressed 👏 Looking forward to your new SKTravels💫🐨🎄💝

Looks like such an epic caravan, I hope it really enhances your travels. As always really enjoying the videos. Merry Christmas!

Hi Guys, we've really been enjoying the down the earth you guys present your travels. It was researching the urban Armorlite hybrid that lead us to your RU-vid and your enthusiasm for this camper that helped us reach a decision. Deposit paid yesterday 👍😁. Keep the awesome content coming!

Very impressed by the van. Unbelievable how many features it has. Well thought out by you guys.

Thanks for the great honest feedback great looking van and luv the battery set up well done

Great tour,thanks for the knowledge pass on,cool van ,you have friends all around Australia,for sure .👍thanks

Thanks guys perfect van just what I have been looking for thank you for the honest review definitely be in contact when I save a bit more coin

Well done guys, selling our Expanda Outback next month and I am on the look out to buy new, this van is exactly what the Hand Brake and I are looking for now. Your presentation is eggscellant too!

Love the van and your review. Probs the best van we've seen. Cheers. Travel safe guys.

Nicely finished off van guys, lots of thought. Love the lock dust caps.

Thanks for your tour on your van, new to the scene so like to pick everyone's brain. Well done and enjoy 👍

Good job guys, they are a quaity build, just waiting for ours to be built sometime early next year, we asked for all the keys to be keyed alike except for the door, they might have changed their build for the better. Took advantage of those tyre monitors you promoted too, got lucky and recieved the free signal booster :)

Great vid guys- love the new van. I think it really hits the mark for a well equipped tourer. Cheers

It looks great. Can’t wait to see you back on your lap with it.

Well done you guys! Both look so wrapped with it all.

Hi guys, great vid [as usual!] I love my new van and will be enjoying it each week as I ride along on your backs around Australia! [travelling vicariously with you two, of course, Ha Ha] Looking forward to your [OUR?] adventures... Merry Christmas from Perth, West Australia, Frank. And remember, Santa isn't the ONLY one watching you... LOL

The van looks fantastic behind the baby cruiser 😉 You might want to put some foam lagging over the PVC pipes under the am to stop rocks smashing them Heaps of power well done, I’m sure you’ll fill up the storage Love the outdoor kitchen Thanks for sharing the lessons you’ve learnt 🏆🏆

Great looking van guys and you look very happy with it enjoy your travels and have a great Christmas and new year 👌

Great little van. To maximise storage for clothes use packing cubes (from Daiso) and the felt drawer inserts from K-mart. Cheap as chips and you know what’s in each so you don’t have to pull things out to find them.

Hi Sarah & Keelan. I came across your adventures when searching for off grid hybrid caravans. I’m very impressed with the Urban Armorlite Hybrid and the customisations that you guys have done - not to mention all the great destinations that you have visited that we have book marked for future reference. Your set up ticks most of our boxes with perhaps some mods to the 12 volt/inverter/charging set up, larger water tanks, and from a comment, induction cook tops (external and internal). We currently have an 17’10” off grid single axle van with Cruisemaster air bag suspension (won’t mention the brand to avoid shame) that has a limited pay load (ie when moderately loaded for a short off grid trip we can’t put any water in the 2x 90 litre water tanks if we are to stay within the legal caravan weight (ATM 2800 kgs) and tow ball load of vehicle (350 kgs)) which is not very helpful! Living in Adelaide I called in to Great Southern RV today to start the ordering process but left disappointed. Must have lucked out with the person assisting as it was clear I knew more about the Armorlite Hybrid from watching your videos. Couple of questions: 1. Have you a name at Urban Caravans that you can refer me to that knows their stuff that I can talk to, starting with your specs/mods. I noted in one of your videos that you are looking to have some referral arrangements with Urban Caravans? 2. I was also wondering if you have done any ‘weigh ins” of your van and tow vehicle to check the ATM and tow ball loading - not to mention the axle loading of the van (GTM) and tow vehicle. I got a shock when I did the exercise recently on our current set up. The whole can of worms of ATM, tow ball loads, GVM and axle loadings is enough to do your head in! Happy to take the conversation off line on FB Messenger/WhatsApp and share my weigh in findings. Could make for an interesting and topical video in the future. Apologies for the rambling comment😊 Love your videos. Cheers John

Love your new van guys!! All the best from Mad Aussie Adventures. 👍😎👍

Sarah and Keelan thanks for the video and the van looks good 👍👍👍

Sick van! Love the 12v system ! Fancy ya doing ya walk around down one of my locals.. I saw ya both down PB the other day.. I was in the red 80. Prob should have said Gday but you guys looked chilled.. If I see ya again will def say gday. Have fun on ya travels!

You have learnt so much young ones your journey is long and your tips helpful. May the Urban Force be with you lol. Great episode Guys as usual That Van is tops keep the Faith and stay True

Hi Kellan and Sarah, great job. Your walkaround was informative, educational and very well presented. I'm looking to purchase a van right now for a solo around Australia adventure. Having zero experience and/or knowledge of vans I've found myself paralyzed with confusion around it all. Kellan, I've taken a whole page of notes on pretty much everything you spoke too. Thank you both ;)

Hi guys - love the new hybrid - so much room and so light!!! Thanks for the advice you gave me on your last van - choosing the right van could be an expensive mistake if you don't do your homework. We have a 2019 Hilux and weight is a big factor for me - everyone i have spoken to has suggested to add a 2inch Lift for the car and then they say towing is far more easier and a tad more economical - so they say! Loved the review on this van - a lot of great features not only on the outside but the inside. Looking forward to see what kind of deal you can organise with this supplier. Now i have to back track and look at some of your earlier videos. Safe travels guys looking forward to your new videos as well.

Great review enjoy your videos keep living your best life merry Christmas

What a great van! Love the Sirocco fan highlight. Thank you!

The giggle at 1628 ... Priceless LOL ! Great vid wish you guys well.

Great video, very thorough. Great pointers for me, thanks

Great van your first van let you know what you wanted and needed in your new set up So all you have to do is enjoy merry Christmas safe journey.

Good luck with your journey and the van looks fantastic

Great video. Wish we knew about Urban before ordering our new van, yours looks terrific

Great channel guys and I was waiting for this particular van tour. This pretty much ticks all of my boxes as far as a practical easy to tow van is concerned. I run a 94 model 80 series petrol Landcruiser that I love, but fuel economy is around 200 metres to the liter....... ok maybe not .....so a light weight van with all the fruit is a priority for me. I will definitely be checking out this particular van. Your channel and how you present it just gets better each episode and I look forward to watching fellow Sandgropers and their the channel grow. All the best for Christmas and the New Year guys cheers

Noice am so happy for you guys can't wait for the travel vids to come 😀 😄 😊

Looks great, have a safe Christmas n awesome adventures👍

Hi Keelan and Sarah, We have used a weight distribution hitch on our small off road van for years, this despite the van being way under our max ball weight and GTM. We have an off road hitch as well so a WDH does work with an off road hitch BUT what we do get is awesome safety, handling and braking. The vehicle is so much easier to drive, the van doesn't push the Prado around, it just feels planted on the road . It is so comfortable without the need for uprated springs, we run a 2 inch lift and standard rate springs. We get good tyre life and economy to boot. At night our headlights shine where they are supposed too. So many hybrids and and even big vans are not fitted with a WDH and I really don't know why. If we need max articulation on off road tracks, I take the bars off. When we don't have a van attached the Prado retains its supple suspension which is great for everyday driving and also off road work. We crossed the Simpson with the WDH three years ago and kept the bars on the whole time.

Can't wait for our van to get finished from getting built from the ground up might see you on the road in the future. Keep up the good vides cant wait for the next one 28 mins and counting hahah

Awesome channel. Thanks for the great vids to

Have a Jayco Expanda but downsizing soon.. this van caught my eye immediately, Aussie, weight, finish, smarts..

Great new van, big step up from the one I saw at Cervantes.

Loved the walk around….love the van!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I want one 🙏

Great vid and walk around guys, enjoying your channel and adventures, ur really livin the dream aren’t ya’s. Luv ur van & would consider one myself if I was in the market, hmmm, maybe. Im a Solar & battery freak too, so appreciate the system u have elected, well done. Im leaning toward the larger prismatic 310ah LifePo4 cells nowdays, with 48v & 24v systems, 8 cells @ 12 or 24v would give you nearly 7.5Kw in a much smaller form factor that could be customised into a nice little (Smaller) section of ur battery area, than the 5Kw u have now, but u have heaps of juice and setup looks good. It is a very nice system u have, I am curious how well the aircon works, I prefer overhead type AC heads for cooling purposes as cool air will naturally fall, but with the side fans I imagine this would help with circulation. Handy tip about red lights, i do like to incorporate dimmers with LED lights regularly, you can use a brighter LED (Outside for instance as a flood light) and dim it from 50-100w down to 1 or 2 watts for power saving, mood &/or night lighting. While there are pro’s & cons of induction cookers, I do think you guy’s could benefit from a single plate unit to cook a bit of Barra, sausages n eggs whatever, a single element is fairly cheap n u got the power, + maybe a single gas burner outside as well would work and give redundancy. Beautiful van and fit out, made a lot of great decisions here & points for considerations. So many great features & looks to be a great Aussie build, if I do get a van, I would definitely be looking at what u guys have done here with the Urban, nice, TFS. Enjoying ur Cape Trip vids @ the moment. Cheers

Thanks for another great videos guys! 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄🎅

Great stuff guys, happy camping

Hi from America., great video and Congratulations on the New Van, Your Great Grand Fathers Great Nephew .

This is amazing! I love this trailer. I love the modern look too. This is a go-to trailer for sure. It has all the basic needs inside to make a livable place to live. I supposed this trailer costs around $38,000. I am going to check into it. Thank you for sharing this!

Looks Mint! Thanks for the walk around. A lot of features we love. The table, is it bolted down or movable? Great episode!

Well done.. great choice an video. 👍

Finally we got to see the full van review, looks awesome guys, and well deserved. I reckon it will be nice and cosy on wet day too. Looking forward to following your next adventures, stay safe, great travels 👍👍. Btw Keelan, we all know you are under the thumb 👎, you only get two cupboards hahahaha 😂😂😂

Awesome top van. Have a great Crissy mateys :)

Wow what a van fantastic and OZ MADE

An incredibly well designed and appointed van

Love your van another good video

Great video guys!

Love it ! Had a look at one in Adelaide Won the wife over. Love your solar setup Will almost copy your van But will get two short seats with storage like yours and the microwave and storage on the other side. Fantastic videos, we love following you guys. We are to old farts living the camping life when we can . Big thanks on getting us over the line Ps. They need to get that front box to fit the babyQ lol

Hi Sarah and Keelan, I just came across this video today and I just loved the fun and honest Aussie presentation by you both. I do like the van. Most Hybrids are too heavy for the Prado (I have a 2018 model) with small payloads and they aren't that comfortable inside. After watching this I've started watching your other videos and researching the Urban. The NSW dealer dosen't get a good review so I was wondering how you went about ordering yours seeing that you were in WA and did the handover at a roadhouse? I look forward to getting up to speed on all your videos.

She’s a beauty 👌 Can’t wait to see it’s off road performance…

Looks great safe travels Cheers

Loving it. Live the dream guys.

Awesome setup guys 👌🏻👌🏻

Well done on the review, I've been looking for an off road van under 2tonne, and this one ticks a lot of boxes although price point is unfortunately out of reach. Thanks guys.

Thanks for sharing really interested in this van, will make an inquiries about it

Great review guys

Great walk around, cant wait for someone overseas to try and translate some of this! 🙂. Good luck.

Great looking van, I have just emailed Urban for some more info as I'm keen to look at them. Enjoying the videos. Keep up the good work and happy travels 😀

tip for the van, take a leaf spring from somewhereschool and put them between the leafs in the caravan so that's sticking out on the behind the leafs on the back.right. greetings from Naik

Looks like we are about to put a deposit on one of these due to your video and having just seen one at a dealers yard. They are certainly more expensive than others but should handle some off road we hope. Very heavy duty Van with the best design we have seen in this size. Nice Vid guys! Many thanks

Awesome

Love your van

Hi, my name is Ernie, Great van, and a great walk through, I'm interested in getting one very soon

Great video , you guys helped me decide to put a deposit on one. Thanks

Very nice van. 👌

Great van guys, very well thought out . Looks like Urban have really looked after you with all the custom gear . What brand of fridge are you running outside ?

Had you thought about fitting an indiction hob outside instead of gas that is affected by the wind? We use induction and with your solar/ battery capacity it would work perfectly.

i like youre van, youre setup more, id definately look into that, cheers.

Thanks for sharing your video, we have just ordered an Armorlite at the show in Brisbane and Bill and Sheree sugested we check you out. They are making us a shorter version with airbag suspension so it will fit in our garage when not in use, we having been looking for this sort of flexibility in a caravan manufacturer for quite sometime and it looks like we have struck lucky with Urban.

Love it love it love like the black and white colour skeam inside pitty the brown and tan bed cover don't match I think you've thought of everything love it that you have the dust suppression inside do you know the weight rating for the roof?? Good to see that if the air bags pack up your not in the shit to raise the roof have a great time in your new van can't wait to see your travels around the rest of the country you are going the right way anti clockwise around the country apparently you won't get so many headwinds

Grewt review and content.❤ Love your work. This vehicle seems to set the bar compared to looking at the moreton bay show in brisbane this year FLOODED with heavy chinese hybrids. Hopefully urban do a small one with bunks. Always wondered why there is Tv connections on the drivers side of the van? Or is that for an external tv aerial? Has a winegard on the roof i expect?

I just ordered my Urban. If all goes well we should have it in September, we are so exited about the product and very impressed how Steve got back into the business and thinking out the box. Loved your video, our first expedition is Uluru in December

Looks good hope you Injoy living in it

Great setup and well thought out 🍺🍺

Yep I am interested in the van

What a great van

Hey guys, love the van! Have you done a weigh in? I would love to get the weights of car/van as this is something we're considering. Weights are such a mine field!! In fact, this would make a great episode for you. Love the channel, thanks for sharing.

Damn impressive… 👍🏼 happy trails

Really nice unit and I hope that Urban take your mods and make them standard. They really work on this. My simple question is as an offroad/hybrid van, how does it actually go offroad? And have you found the extremity where you thought 'we're on the cusp of capability here'?
