History of track trailer and their concept has not changed for 2 decades look at mk1 vs mk5 same same just technology improvements - tells you the concept is proven, age and tech have made it more comfortable. Overpriced but within their reputation imo.

@@AllTerrainAction many thanks for this. Ultimate have also been in the game for 30 years. What about functionality? What was about the functionality with the TVAN over the Ultimate Camper that won you over? I was so close to signing off on a new Ultimate but opted out with an eye on the TVAN now…. Cameron

100% on the plans change to 500ah storage for power and induction cooking, but mainly so we don’t have to content with wind and cooking! I’m still happy tvan owner and always loook forward to going away, easy to pack, easy to prepare to go away and reliable!

@ great thank you. I notice you have elected not to have the optional 70L water tank installed due to addional weight… How do you manage the lower 108L standard water volume over many days camping remote/ off grid? Cameron

@Camh1968 if you can take on an extra 40-50kg at the ball I would be getting it, at least then if you don’t want the weight on some trips you can just not fill it but on the trips where extra water could be useful you could fill it. What I’d didn’t realise originally was my ball weight reduces when I fill the rear tank, if you’re mindful you can balance your ballweight a little using both tanks and switch between as needed. We are towing with a max of 160 so it made no sense for us, we now have 250 capacity and if I could I would have gotten the front extra tank now.

@@AllTerrainAction very good info. Thank you for this insight. Can I also ask why you chose the TVAN over a smallish off-road caravan? Cameron

Where we go off road (and I mean real offroad) I couldn’t see a small Jayco JPOD for example been able to tolerate the articulated terrain very well long term. If you look under a tvan and then look under a lot of these smaller pod or “off road built” caravans of small profile just the coils, and structure underneath shows you the tvan is built for some serious off road terrain, these other vans I just couldn’t see them dealing with rocks and aggressive impacts like what the tvan could. Clearance is amazing and so isn’t the way the tvan articulates off roads on crosssxled tracks. Personal choice too, the TVAN’s width is smaller than my tug vehicle which means, if the tug vehicles is through, the tvan has width clearance easily.

We have them north and south, you guys use them east to west so your used to seeing them the other way that would be why.

From tarmac eildon Jamison Rd up mt terrible track to the hut, can try the side tracks for some challenges or drive the main track easy all the way way up to the hut go back down same way :)

@AllTerrainAction would you recommend my Terrible track over Newman's track? Which one did the X-Trail / Forester make it up?

@electropad mt terrible, new mans would be okay too. Try mt terrible first gives you some steep climbs to check how that goes! Reasonably flat with climbs up to the hut.

@@AllTerrainAction thanks heaps mate

No worries thanks for the super mate! Catch up for a trail one day.

😂🙆‍♂️

We dont go back into season until November (aka now), we always normally quieten up by July each year. Not long now!

Hey - Check in the description of the video, link to Google Maps pin.

@@MrMagnat007 happy travels mate

This is an easy answer as we wondered about durability and duty cycle of exactly what you’re asking when we started doing this. We have never broken a CV joint but have had a few boot rips over time per vehicle. We have had a front CV failure when we tried to use aftermarket GSP brand CVs (for something new) but we learned that the aftermarket CVs don’t have the same tripot design as the OEM German designed ones and since this discovery we just rebuild the OEM ones when we need to freshen anything up. No tailshafts, front prop shaft, diffs or transfer case failures. I’ve had 1 dusted engine due to failed filter on the snorkel intake and 1 transmission 3rd gear from suspected towing (only very recently occurred). V8 weak spot are the trans, v6 transmissions are quite decent they just need a converter change at 300k to prolong them to 450+ range. Transfer case gear based no chain they are the strongest part of the driveline. Surprisingly when you would think a cv would go it hasent, could have something to do with the traction control system hammering the brakes to bring down the speed and high shock you’d normally have.

Hey there! Can't see any issues with this, if anything you may see more oil in return but its of no negative effect.

Did u sort ur problem bro? I got same issue!

Be more specific? What fix is needed?

Carby cleaner

36mm nut Found something saying; 1st 130 N.m 2nd loosen the nut until loose 3rd 200 N.m For those searching, hope this saves you time.

ruts pretty deep haha

@@GS-kh5se Not just reduced. Zero access.

Same same, some ruin it for others theory really. We cant let this happen in the way they want. Its all about balance, GFNP will make it inbalanced if they get their way.

In certain Toyota models in Australia, engaging the rear diff lock disables the front A-TRAC system. In many situations, using only the rear lock, especially when a front wheel is completely off the ground, can hinder progress. A-TRAC, which operates on both the front and rear, is often more effective in some cases than using a rear locker with an open front differential. If A-TRAC continued to function at the front, like it does in the Tundra in the US, our opinion on this might be different depending on the track/terrain/obsticle.

Quite easily, small chain, some loop hooks and door hinges - can probably make a short video about it if you want to see it in more detail but there is nothing fancy to it - but it does work and held up for 3 years now and used plenty! So handy, you never realise how much a small table helps in a small space like that!

They would never let poor adventra in, it’s not a 4wd! 😂

😮😢😅😂❤​@@AllTerrainAction

Hey mate, thanks but I dont think we have enough exposure with the LS1 with the software to determine. We used HP Tuners because we already had it, but it has also allowed us to change low/high speed fan triggers, lockup on the 4l60 changes with the converter too - but beyond this, my feedback is limited and probably amature level at best.

@@AllTerrainAction good stuff bud. If you can tune with HP tuners, then you should be with any tuning software really. PCM hammer will do the reading and wiring. And you can use TunerPro to do the tuning. Both are free pieces of software……no licensing required. This is for the P01 gm ECU you worked on. Just a thought mate :) Take care.

@@davef2415 Thatll work with our VCM MPVI3 device/cable? I might have a play around, licencing PITA as you clearly know. What cables do you guys normally use?

@@AllTerrainAction check out PCMhacking about pcm hammer man, you need a new cable, its not that expensive

Thanks enjoy, although I must caution you the choice to go to an Adventra from a Paj is a big change, the adventra is basically best seen as a commodore wagon on steroids, with AWD system and more simplified vehicle. Small things make it amazing with the way it works but it’s certainly not a proven vehicle. If it’s just camping, touring and not really much true 4wd these things are perfect but anything for regular 4wd duty on actual 4wd tracks where you’d expect a wheel up it’s too much for the adventra for a purpose use vehicle. We only do this to show how capable it really is for a tourer really, it won’t let you down when it’s asked to preform you just wouldn’t want to do it regularly that’s all.

Nope Changed to plastic on 2013 models.
