There is no way those vans are anywhere as good as ZONE caravans they are dreaming if they think they are
@@richardcharlton8259 I agree. They are at the upper end of normal method construction which is quickly being overtaken by composite construction.
Those hybrids look way better than the Zones, they're about 30k cheaper with the same spec. Also have 7 different options, Zone only has the one. I know who my pick will be!
Give me a ZONE any day
@@liamhouse5559 you might need to review your base of information.
Look forward to your next video
By the end of the week!
Great video showing an awesome family business building amazing caravans!
Love you guys, keeps up the awesome episodes 🥰
@@JayWilFo thank you!!🙏
Agreed! ❤
If I was going to spend 200k plus on a van I’d definitely fly to Melbourne to look at the factory.
@@GrantBennett-vb2nk 💯
@@caravansbythecampfire I think weight is the only issue with the titanium vans. My off road van now comes in at 2810 kgs ( 20.8 ft ) empty which is about the max I’d go towing with a LC200. I love the look and features on the titanium but the same size van would be over 3000 kgs and I love my 200 to much to get rid of and not keen on going a US tow vehicle.
@@GrantBennett-vb2nk a lot of bigger fitted out vans appear to come in around the 2700-2850 amount now. Fill up the water and basics and you heading towards 3.3-4 easily. I won’t tow anything heavier than my car (200 series 3.3t) just feels comfortable and under control.
@@GrantBennett-vb2nkthere are loads of changes you can make to these vans that allow them to carry lighter. Titanium won’t allow you to leave being over weight. We have a lc200 and tow a titanium. We haven’t got a gcm as we are strategic about what we carry, where and when. We travel full time and it’s been a learning curve but it’s doable in a non American truck 🙌🏼 you just gotta be nifty with things. 🎉
TALK about reviews..... 10/10 🥳💥🤩
@@jordanmarsh-rx2vb champion comment! Thank you.
Wow, thanks so much for sharing about the camping lanterns! Your insights are really unique and awesome!😉🥰
Those caamp light are impressive - as I said, we get heaps of products to review and most aren't impressive. I'm only into impressive so that's a good one.
Zone RV Expedition is way better value than the Titanium HS2 and better build quality as well in my opinion. The Expedition is pretty well loaded with standard features as a base spec.
We love the expedition too - until you go inside. Needs a revamp ioo - can't wait for that.
@caravansbythecampfire I haven't actually seen one inside in person, only via there website and youtube. If you are able to it's always a good idea to view anything in person before buying.
@@harleyboo6951 Always good to see first hand, I agree. The product is impressive at the end of the day, so is the service and support. I prefer fully composite vans from experience but these are solid.
Interesting walk through Craig. We looked at the Vision RV hybrid van all composite and alloy cabinetry.
We decided to invest today and collect our 21ft van next week. So much out there, it can become a daunting selection process...Looking forward to your next video.
@@TA-wg9oi the Titanium Hybrid is the former Lyfe RV product. They have purchased that company - interestingly it has many Vision RV vibes but made here. It has alloy cabinetry- I think the Vision has steel? Might be wrong about that but the ones we saw at a recent show were steel. Tracey likes the vision rv!!
@@caravansbythecampfire We heard that Titanium bought Wolf who make the front and rear boxes. Saw one on a Prime Edge the other day. They look really smart.
That's funny about the Vision steel cabinetry....We were told it's aluminium honeycomb then powder coated at the Brisbane Show..haha
Any news on your GVM upgrade to the Cruiser..
@@TA-wg9oi vision RV are made in China, I'd be very careful... Paying an absolute premium, about 60k overpriced those vans and resale is horrible.
@@TerrySmith-lv2md Thanks Terry. We heard Titanium were no longer making Sunseeker and there was a Chinese connection with them......not the Vision. Interesting how stories get around but we got a lot of dealers bagging other brands and yards....
The show price for the Elysium was 149K but have since seen them at 169K to order. Haven't seen any for resale.
We ended up getting a 2024 Legend Groundbreaker as a 1st buy so hopefully it works out okay.
@@TA-wg9oi I’m trying to get a Wolf rear bar for my zone! I understood they are a company set up by the owners of Titanium. GVM is on the way - contemplating a car upgrade given its age before forking out.
Would you? Can you compare a factory tour at ZoneRV. I think the materials, design and manufacturing processes are poles apart. Like Austin A40 to Ineos Grenadier. My personal opinion based on years of owning 3 caravans from different eras and watching what ZoneRV does versus the rest.
@@ACTMCC3150 we have a zone, a tour will be coming at some point! The only vans to look at are the composite ones based on everything we’ve seen by far. Can the others do better? Yes. Are they worth looking at? Maybe.
@@caravansbythecampfire I love your channel because your point of difference is reviewing vans from different manufacturers. If you can continue that point of difference by reviewing manufacturing methods, materials and design that's the type of 'behind the scenes' info that some buyers, like me, want to see. Some will, some won't, so what, but you can maintain some interest. When I watched your earlier caravan comparisons I bet you would buy the ZoneRV. In any case quality never goes out of fashion because 'poor man pays twice'. ZoneRV is my current choice for when I sell my home, hook up and head off into the sunset, but I'm always open to learn more and be persuaded there's a better product. Just have seen one yet except maybe Bruder?
@@ACTMCC3150 Bruder is next level - you better have a big house to sell!! Thanks for your comments! Much appreciated. Bushtrakker are very good just older style construction - and what about 48 volt power systems, they are light years ahead. We just had a van last week which had it in it. That episode is a couple of weeks away. Cheers.
The upcoming Titanium Hybrids are very much a Cub H16 clone. Copying is a sincere form of flattery.
@@donr62 Yes it is. Also has a zone feel about it on the outside and a Vision RV on the inside. The van is actually the former LyfeRV.
Wood/ply poor wiring and patchy insulation, they’d have been better off not showing you their build process.
Try Bushtracker for strength and arrogance, Mountain Trail for excellence in build and exorbitant pricing and Zone for a reasonable build at a fairer price.
@@TheTripleDubya That area they can improve on without doubt.
That wasn't a finished product I don't believe, half way through the manufacturing line. The photos I got of my titanium during the build, the insulation was perfect
@@TerrySmith-lv2md correct
@@TerrySmith-lv2md that’s great to hear. The production line was pretty organised.
@@TerrySmith-lv2md I understand that but if you saw how the other vans I mentioned were built, you’d soon realise that it was just not good. The wiring was terrible and not likely to improve, unless out of sight, out of mind works for you.
Still wish you all the best, just my observation.
Interested in the Harvock you’re sitting in front of. Are you planning on a vid on that?
@@ramsaysontheroad yes, that episode will be out in 2 weeks! Worth a look - plenty of good stuff in those.
love gas, induction unless ventilated well will over heat. That was funny when you touched the spot and got paste on your fingers, Lucy you didn’t cut yourself.
@@philiplucky7170 I love gas too!
What’s the name of the caravan starting with z. Thanks for the video it was very informative
Zone - check out their web site
Hey guys, are you reviewing the harvok caravan or do you own it? We’ve been looking at getting one. Do you have a video on it?
@@brendanconroy3542 yes we were in the process of reviewing it when we recorded this video intro, that video is in production now. It will be out late next week. There is a video on the new Titanium Hybrid later this week first. Harvok has a lot to offer so stay tuned.
I feel like I am listening to a bully with the number of "right" thrown into the dialogue
Right. 😂😂
be good if you let the female finish talking
all that plywood--- no thanks
@@thelonewolf666 Most non composite vans have plywood standard - on the inside. That means about 90% of caravans I’d say.
Hey guys love watching you guys. Do you have an instagram or Facebook page. Would love you guys to do a review on more hybrids. In particular AOR, Alpine 14 or Rhynomax Defender 😊
Thank you! You we do have socials to follow - links are on the home page here. We are getting into more hybrids soon, the issue is getting them to review in the first place - most manufacturers are reluctant to lend us a van to review so we have e to find them on platforms like Camplify etc. The brand names are particularly hard to secure. We will keep trying!!
