One of the nicest van fit outs we have seen. Very homely and practical.
Thanks Michael. We think we got it right this time! Have a great week!
Thank you mate . We absolutely love our van
Great episode, you guys are the real deal and not just about advertising products rather than giving good content which all the others I was watching are now doing. Really impressed with your van and looking forward to the video re the off grid electrics set up. We are 1/4 way into our 18 month trip around Oz in our on road van and loving it, hopefully will cross paths somewhere in this amazing country. Keep on just vanning it 👍👍
Thank you so much for the message 🙌🏻 it really does lift our spirits when we get messages like this 🙌🏻 we really appreciate it .
Glad to hear you are enjoying your travels and safe travels . Who knows , maybe we will cross paths soon
Ioved the view of your van with the backdrop of the boulders and the sunrise glowing off them fantastic. Happy Travels 😁👍

Good real world review on the Van guys ( I mean caravan reviewers have a Van over a weekend and say this is good that’s good but really they are NOT living in it ) have fun in the sun 🌞 looking forward to your next Van cross country dirt road review 👍👍 over and out. LoL 😂 😂 😂
Thanks Paul, yeah I agree you have to live in not to truly test it out. Am loving it so far but will keep providing updates. Have a great week and thanks for your support 🤙
Thanks mate . We head up the dirt very shortly
Diesel heater watch John McK47. Prime press the bottom two buttons, when using at the end run full power to reduce soot. Do not turn off power, it burns out microprocessor board. It needs a cool down at the end of use, carry spare fuel filter and hose, any air leaks it will not run. Russell
Thanks for that . We will check it out 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks so much, this is hugely helpful!
With the Diesel heater use you onboard compressor blow air in through the exhaust it will have dust on the glow plug this is common when in dusty conditions
We are heading to Tassie at the end of the yr. Would be great to meet you. Hubby thinks maybe a fan inside unit might have stopped working on your heater.
We are not sure what our plans are going to be . We will see how this inflation affect everything to see what we do
That would be awesome 👌
White smoke from the heater means the diesel is too cold. You can buy a additive for it in cold weather.
Not if the smoke is coming from the inlet. Unburnt diesel is also shown as white smoke. Thats means the heat exchanger has probably cracked and now filling the van with carbon monoxide, even burnt diesel and partially burnt diesel contains carbon monoxide. I know there are thousands of Chinese diesel heaters getting around but personally I payed the extra dollars for a safer units with better build materials.
We had this issue with our diesel heater when we switched it off. Turns out it’s important to switch the heater off first then the electrical switch . Our dealer spoke with the importer of our heater ( which is German not Chinese but I’m sure they are all essentially the same) and this was their advice, problem solved.
Can’t remember the exact explanation
I run my heater on pulse. 1.6 the lowest. But at the end I run it to max 5.5 pulse rate for more than 10 min. I think it sorted up. You may have done the seal. $150 is not much. Mine been running for two years. The motor that drives fans is small motor. I only have one vent in van. No tee. The air intake filter had more holes drilled in with a sock. My exhaust is not a long run but it's blowing out. Follow john's video. He fitted and repaired the expensive ones in trucks.
Thank you . Will replace the motor and see how we go
Another great video troops.....Diesel heaters....because its diesel, its a "dirty" fuel....Had one in first van, worked fine for several weeks then same problem as you, along with 500,000 others that made the same mistakes as we did...When you start it, must be run for considerable time so combustion chamber can burn the fuel completely....Units do not like short on then off cycles....we all do/did that.. also, running kerosene thru, mixed in the diesel is a big help. But second van has the gas heater because cleaner burn doesnt have same problems, and current price of diesel makes LPG very affordable fuel...Just sayin...
Thanks for the heads up . Will look at some options when we decide to replace the heater
Another great video from you guys. Sue - I’m also a coffeeholic like you & have a little Nespresso pod machine in the van, which coffee pods do you buy when you’re travelling around?
A couple drinks before cooking?
Please do not move your steaks after just placin them on the grill. Let them sit for their allotted minutes before touching.
Like the Vids, keep them coming and hope to see you on the road I ever get a van.
A couple of drinks before cooking . Nothing wrong with that .
Got to say the van is quality! Well done on all your colour choices and fit out, looks superb. Just a question, when are you going to do WA?
great view, "light" wine .........PI$$A
Ahaha either way it is a delicious wine 🍷 😋
great episode guys you haven't got sofie on your episode

We had to put Sophie down due to cancer

Hi can you please send me the dimensions of your alloy box
Cheers Robert

Nice video guys :) Just wondering how you have mounted your booster pole to the back bumper and also what is your entry point into the van for the wires for it?
The kit comes with a bracket (well made) that attaches to the rear bar and kit comes with all hardware and was installed when we built it
@@justvanningit oh OK, thankyou
Internet in the NT is total crap outside Alice Springs and Darwin. Is that canola in the yellow van? That stuff will kill ya. Must be a South African thing this getting up early on the road?
Agreed the internet is tricky on the NT. Luckily the booster did the trick in all but 2 spots. Ahaja, early mornings are so I can get to work onntime. I work full time Mon to Fri, also do big travel non weekends when required = early mornings!
SpaceX's Starlink for RV'ers is really taking off over the last few months since its release too, its kind of expensive at the moment $175 au a month, but elon musk is offering month by month no contract plans with unlimited data, once your a customer and you have paid for the equipment, you are not charged any cancellation fees and you can pay for a month anytime you want without incuring any sign up fee's again, which makes it great for van lifer's and people on holliday's and the internet speeds are increasing every time he launches new satelites, suggest checking out van lifer youtubers who have the starlink RV setups, sitting on mountain tops in the middle of the wilderness with no cell towers for thousands of kilometres the internet speeds are almost on par with our current fibre optic land lines!... by the way, no other company in australia is offering unlimited data, every other satellite internet company in australia has download limits.
Hey Sue. What internet connection do you use when you work on the road. I am thinking of Starlink but the cost is up there
Be careful using the spray oil. When I used it on oven trays it leaves a sticky residue on them. impossible to wash off. Trays ruined.
Thanks for the heads up . Much appreciate it 🙌🏻
What colour lights did you go with under the van
Hey mate , here is the link to them . www.stedi.com.au/led-surface-rock-lights-6-pieces.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6PrG4M_t-AIVEjErCh0bngaYEAQYASABEgIG7PD_BwE
The lights can be any colour really as you use an app to pick your choice of colour
Why the hell do people flip the egg,what the haha
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
How good is Mataranka
Love it there
Do not buy Chinese shit box diesel heaters, get a webasto.
Just buy a non chinese cheap brand, buy once cry once.
Enjoyable episode guys. Our friend had an issue the same issue with their chinese heater and it was the fuel pump, it’s easily interchangeable. Have a chat to Karl’s Kool RV in QLD, he has all the parts and will make sure you get the right bits.
Thank you so much . We will look into 🙏
