Hello Billy. In an earlier video talking about your van, you stated that you had a suspension lift using a spring maker in Morbank?? You said that this resulted in a payload upgrade. How much was this upgrade? The Crafter 4Motion only comes with the lighter van which only has slightly more than 1tonne payload. (I am doing this off the top of my head). UA-cam videos of these camper van gurus in the states show that the full timers living in their van get to carry around 3 tons (US short tons). They either carry this full time or have a storage unit/ home base and pack for winter or for summer. Lighter 4 wheel drive vans means that payload dictates what goes into a van. So you have to weigh between a 4x4 towing a trailer or van, vs a 4x4 van vs moving to a cab chassis with an expedition box. Hence the question.
The payloads vary between the can sizes, mine is a medium with low roof & they go all the way up extra long with extra high roof. Which van you choose really comes down to where you want to go, so if it’s off road then the choice is simple…..4Motion. The guy in moorebank closed, im currently looking at overhauling the suspension and am l considering custom front coil overs and factory leafs from a 3ton model
@@SaltyGypsea Thanks for the reply. I would be looking at a medium with a high roof. I was looking at an indication on how much the upgraded suspension uprated your van's payload?
I like the van. I assume it has a wet bath ? Also I didn’t see a black tank gauge. Is the toilet a cassette or dry flush ? Are the Fiat vans sold in the US ?
Love it. Safe travels
Thanks 🙏
Good job Billy !!
Awesome set up too and what a brave chick all on her own! 😎
It’s really not that hard, just need to make the first step 🙂
Great video
Thanks!

It is wet area and the toilet is cassette which she doesn’t use as she has a lot of other options.
I call BS. No one can live in their van and keep it like a photo shoot.
She did tidy up but it all took 5 minutes.
Vans are so small in comparison to a house. Only takes me 5 mins to make it look spotless 👍🏼
All depends on whether or not you’re a slob.
She could simply be a compulsive cleaner
