Yep Next priority was for my wife to tow which she never did….. 😊 We downsized from an Urban Caravan to another Urban being the Armolite…… and love it!!!! Great value for money and tows so well with our aftermarket suspension upgrade on our Ranger…… Would love to know your opinion on the Armolite (a hybrid before the hype)……. We have lots of bells and whistles with enough solar to the moon and back…… weighing in at 2020kg……. So so good!!! Keep up the great work you two!!!

How did you go about hiring all of these vans? I’m contacting manufacturers & none of them have a hire before you buy option. I’ve tried camplify but not many options to try the vans I like.

@caravansbythecampfire 7 месяцев назад

That’s the problem, all ours were via Camplify plus one I just asked an owner to hire. It is very hard - there are several hire companies out there. What vans are you looking at?

@LostMtbkr 7 месяцев назад

@@caravansbythecampfire I went to the caravan show last week in Melbourne and left there more confused than ever! I think I like the 'hybread' haha. I need a quad van and of the ones I walked through the Mars Elite 15 was a standout. I'm upgrading from a camper trailer, I really want to hire and try the version I'm looking to buy but rentals are all older vans or different specs.

@caravansbythecampfire 7 месяцев назад

@@LostMtbkr those shows do you leave you a little spinning so to speak. The rate of upgrade of all vans makes is hard to find the same thing to rent out there - Camplify doesn't allow you to search by van either so that means you have to spend hours looking through and changing your start location. A van of the brand you are looking to purchase will give you some indication - it's always good to ask this question of a company you want to buy from - "Can you summarise for me all the improvements made over the past 2 years?" Then, what are you looking to do next in the development of this van?"

@MAD-HATTER-1996 2 месяца назад

any opinion on MDC offroad range please

@caravansbythecampfire Месяц назад

Sorry for the late reply. I thought I’d answered. MDC appear fine and in line with possibly 10-12 others, very hard to tell the difference and it comes down to internal layout, storage, weight and whether you want a seperate toilet and shower. We looked at these many times - I suggest you check out the leading brands and drive the best deal for yourself.

@johngunning2123 6 месяцев назад

I enjoyed this video. Here are my thoughts after spending 13 months in a brand new 18' New Age Road Owl travelling around Australia. New Age are very hard to deal with once you have parted with your hard-earned and I have had two New Age vans over the last 8 years. So a big NO to New Age although I do like the older Manta-Ray vans (warranty is not an issue with second-hand vans). The price range I have in mind is $50k to $80k and I have a Toyota 200 series, so weight is a concern. I also hate the older wooden interiors used in some caravans. It must have a built-in washing Machine and a Night Heater. I would add a slide-out barbeque. Completely dismiss all pop-tops and single-axle vans. I quite like the Jayco slide-out, good service around Australia, but modern vans are made of too flimsy materials. So a big no to Jayco. My current pick is NEW GEN, 5 years structural and 2 year manufacture warranty. My choice is the NG19R. Vans over this length can be problematic when you ring caravan parks in advance to book a spot. I am not interested in off-road caravans but when the time comes to sell the van it makes a big difference if it is semi-off-road.

@i.m.peterrific 8 месяцев назад

I had a Jayco SLOB for 2 weeks.... never again after the amount of manufacturing defects and design flaws we found with it. I won't list them here, but needless to say, some were significant. We were in a hurry to replace it after we returned it (for a full refund) and ended up with a Crusader X Country Extreme off the lot. Better in every way to the SLOB from our personal experience. So much more useful storage compared to the SLOB IMHO. But everyone of the brands has it's supporters and critics. Things I have learned is that looking at the quality of the build, including the attention to detail with things like routing of wires and plumbing, is a strong indicator or the overall experience you are likely to have with a van. Companies that pay attention to detail, generally seem to have pride in their products.

Your new van will be a Zone Rv. JUST GO AND BUY ONE! If you bought a Base in 2021 you would have got the 18.6 for $104000 with all the extras and today sold it after 2 years use for over $120000. I did. So if you are getting one of the 10 Van's my guess it's a second hand Zone. As a new one will be 6 months away to build. Just go do it. All the best happy trails. Allen

I agree re the wood grain look. I hate it, and 99% of caravans have it.

@caravansbythecampfire 7 месяцев назад

That beautiful wood grain eh! Shocker.

@mrharro3281 8 месяцев назад

Just a bit of advice if you are going to buy an off-road van read the warranty terms and conditions regarding off road use eg; I was recently told at a caravan show that Jayco don’t have a off-road warranty I’ve had a look and part 12 of what was excluded is basically off-road driving, driving on gravel or unsealed road is ok anything other than that is not covered by warranty. So a heads up when buying an off-road van ask if their warranty covers off-road use and what they deem is off-road. Happy travels.

@caravansbythecampfire 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for that!

@seapea7979 8 месяцев назад

If it’s not a Zone I’ll eat my hat lol😂. I’d personally pick a Zone out of all those for the tech and the weight I think. Also they just look good too. Hopefully their after sales service is on the improve like you guys mentioned. 👍

@caravansbythecampfire 8 месяцев назад

You’ll need some flavouring if a hat must be eaten! Tracey might save you.

@seapea7979 8 месяцев назад

@@caravansbythecampfire what flavour would Tracey recommend for a straw hat ? I’m really hoping now it’s a Zone. 🤦‍♂️ it’s going to be tough chewing otherwise.

@michaelnugara1 8 месяцев назад

Ditch the Jayco idea and just get the Zone from your list. Spend the money once. Having said that we have a vision rv and love it

@aussieoffroadjunkie4054 8 месяцев назад

I reckon you guys are gonna be tourin in a sunseeker in 2024. You won’t regret it. We picked ours up just before Christmas and are lovin it. Was good seeing you actually got under the vans for a look. Did you notice how dodgy the diesel heater fuel line was run on the majestic.

@caravansbythecampfire 8 месяцев назад

That would be great!

@caravansbythecampfire 8 месяцев назад

We spend a lot of time under vans - most are very ordinary - most are below 1st year apprentice quality, amazingly poor.

@aussieoffroadjunkie4054 8 месяцев назад

Completely agree mate aye. It’s surprising the amount of people that don’t lay under a van when they go to shows or looking at them. I pointed so many faults out to salesman at shows and they didn’t seam phased by the poor workmanship under some vans.

@jeep2701 8 месяцев назад

Given the number of Snowy River Caravans and the entry point into the market would have been good to see one on the list. Realise there are hundreds but I confess I have one and we love it.

@caravansbythecampfire 8 месяцев назад

Yes, we’ve looked at those and the most recent ones are many times improved on their already reasonable market entry vans - impressive. None are for rent and we did reach out to Snowy River twice without any response. Hope their after sales service response is better than that!

@jeep2701 8 месяцев назад

@@caravansbythecampfire unfortunately no.....love the van but not the company. I look after my van myself for the little thing. Thankfully, no warranty issues to speak of
