That is a nice van. Have been following you five for ages now & really look forward to your next adventures. Thanks for sharing & taking us along. 🙏
Cheers mate
Never going to buy a caravan in my life, but still watched this from start to finish....love your work!!!!
Cheers mate
Love the light interior, gas heater...everything!!
Cheers
Looks awesome guys, looking forward to your next adventures
Love the van guy's. Can't wait for you to hit the road again.
Vans looking good. Can’t wait to see your next adventure
Thanks guys, once again a great vid. I build the bloody things all day so yeah, it is your personalities that keep me coming back to watch.
Happy trails and stay safe.
Ps loved the slo-mo head smack. She's a keeper that one.
I can’t get this van out of my head now, I want this van.
Wow! Great looking rig. Can't wait to see more travels in it. Enjoy!
My whole family enjoy watching your families adventures. even my hubby now watches. my son and family currently travelling through south australia living on the road. nice new van
Unreal. Looks amazing. I agree, the white opens the layout right up to seem even more spacious! Well done guys.
Goodness Bec - I felt that 😬😭
Very nice guys. Got the same brand same colour but smaller van. That colour hides the dirt well. Also have white inside, certainly feels more spacious. I agree with your comment about gas. After a week or two over overcast rain you will be glad you went gas, which you found out.
I found that out two from the off grid experience we have had. We have the gas fridge, keeps everything super cool to.
I did find condensation an issue in the colder areas. Just got to mop around the windows in the morning and air out. I wasn't expecting that when I first got our van but apparently it's very common. We have five in our van too so heaps of hot air.
Also I did notice Sunseeker went galvanised instead of paint. Looking forward to seeing outside of your new van.
Once again great video. Been following you guys for years. Top of the bunch for videos. Love your work. Enjoy your new van. 👍
Well done with the white colour looks so bright and roomy
Love the van, the white is so fresh. The bin and laundry drawers are the best. I'm always kicking the bin from the bathroom to the kitchen and moving the laundry bag out of the shower.
Life changing items😂
What a lovely van, good job and good luck with it all xx
Love the white in the van, so much bigger feel. I have the same in my campervan. It’s going to be really good having the extra space your kids are getting bigger and fast, good on you both. Love the pocket thingy very good idea. I’m thinking of getting one when I can. Cheers Judy
Awesome van Bec and Justin. Congrats and thanks for the fantastic tour.
Love the bench space to the moon and back
And we luv our gas heater with e-kit also
Great watching your videos.
Awesome couple.
Love the genuineness in your relationship.
Great family life 👍
Great to hear you love the vids mate, thankyou
Love your new van. Agree the white looks awesome. Living down south and camping in the cold cold weather like -5 be ware that your gas pipes don’t freeze like some people we camped with did. Hope you have the best times coming in your new van. Can’t wait to see your upcoming travels. 💖💖
Congratulations on your new van, it look’s great! Totally loved your inputs, experience & very helpful idea’s that will truly help us getting started! Looking forward to your next adventure 👍
Good move sticking with the cassette toilet!
We went from cassette to compost, now back to cassette. It's actually easier to empty the cassette tank than the composting bin!
We stuck with gas also, though the builders wanted us to go full 240v.
Never had an issue with gas.
Keep up the great work 👍
Cheers guys
ABSOLUTELY LOVING VAN
Love the new van, looks amazing!! Glad you love the white because that’s what we’ve done in our new van and am worried about it looking too sterile. Can’t wait to get our van and get out and hit the roads 👍🏻
Great looking van, love the colour combo. X
Spat my coffee when Bec bumped her head. Slow mo was classic🤣
Congratulations on the new van and thanks once again for the detailed explanation on the fittings. Very best wishes for your continuing family adventures!
Cheers mate
Love the new van, guys. Re the white; we have a Zone RV, so it’s all white except for the kitchen cupboard fronts. Initially concerned about the all white, I’ve found that a wipe over with a spray made of 1/4 vinegar in water and wipe with a micro fibre cloth keeps everything slick and span, even though we have gloss all over (not my choice, just standard with the van). Composting loo; we have installed one after 2 standard cassette toilets and it’s a brilliant inclusion. We empty the wee canister every day or so and still haven’t emptied out the poo bit after almost 7 weeks. Enjoy your travels and look forward to sharing your adventures 😊😊😊
Absolutely love your new van. You’ve thought of everything. A hint on the blinds, especially with kids..make sure screen is attached before you pull the blind up. Can’t wait to see where you stow everything. Love watching your travels.
Thanks mate, we’ll have to give the kids a few lessons
Cheers mate.
Yes, definitely much easier to attach the screen first - even if the blind is half way up. Join them then put the blind up. Our Kitchen window is like that. The others with just the centre click mechanism are easier. The narrow ones can go straight up and click, but I find the wide ones easier to raise the blind to 70-80%, join them, then put the blind all the way up.
Can't wait for the outside vid. We have been looking at so many designs and love your little tips and tricks
We went with full solar/battery and induction for cooking combined with a new portable Honda EU32i. We find food and water requires management before our power ever does. Only time the geno comes out is in really cold environments.
Congratulations… love the new van, will go the darker outside colour for our next one. We went with white uppers in the cupboards and yes Bec it definitely makes it feel light and open, you won’t regret it.. have fun guys
Thanks mate
Beautiful van. Congratulations on your new purchase. Hope you enjoy as always. Looking forward to the next video and trips
The mirror is excellent idea love the front window in the bedroom looks lovely enjoy and I would definitely want white in my caravan too great choice :)
Hi folks love the new van. I am very happy you have a base to work from. Take care and safe travels. Bravo from Victoria Australia
Hey guys, watch every video, like every one because I do. . Just want to say have a great adventure in the new van. Hope the kids are excited. Stay safe cruising 😊
Thanks so much mate, love the support🤙
It looks FLASH ❤️
Enjoy. Looks amazing and love Bec's 'female touch' to the van. Stay safe.
The van looks great can’t wait to watch your adventures in it 😊
Wonderful, thought it would be, love the cupboard space. Happy travels.
Cheers mate
Flat bed microwave are good to use and ideal in a caravan. Love the new van.
Keen to give it a run
Looks amazing. Can't wait to see where you place everything and your new adventures.
Thanks so much mate
What a great insight on your new van guys…. Love it.. The next episodes are gonna be awesome… Cheers…👍👍
Love it,love it, love it the inside so far
Bec ~~~ you make white camping perfect! 🥰 You are a wonderful person, Justin count your blessings!😎🙏❤️❤️💕 love the new unit!!
You're the best!
Ooooh the lighter does seem much nicer and the extra room I can tell will make you all so much more comfortable. Great choice. You two should design off grid vans for others. 👌
Justin I think your description of how things work is fantastic but I do believe you knowledge goes far beyond the average caravanner keep up the great work guys Love it.
Thanks legend.
Get me a bowl 🙄
congra on new van,happy travelling
Congrats guys!! Absolutely smick and frothin’ !! Here’s to plenty more adventures and thanks for taking us along. 🗺🚎
Thanks mate
I love the new van. Can’t wait to see you take it out on the road.
Cheers mate
I love the coffee machine. I’ve got the touch model at home. I couldn’t travel without it - the extra space makes it fit so much better.
I totally agree! It doesn't take up any bench space now
Love your van and the colour scheme. The only downside why put the control panel above the kitchen instead above the couch? Then the pantry items above the kitchen for easy access.
Love the van pockets, great storage, which we had them in our caravan when we toured f/t for the last 12yrs.
Nihiihiicce!!!! Everything looks schmick, hope all of you enjoy your next stint of travelling, I know I will love watching it!!
Thanks mate
Awesome van, thanks for showing. Enjoy the snow. Love your pouches.
Thanks mate
I just ordered 2 pouches.
Pretty much everything in the van. I love that battery system.
Cheers mate
Awesome guys look forward to the next adventure
Cheers mate
Love your new van guys well done you have worked hard for it. It just shows hard work does pay off. Cant wait for your next adventure. The swift 500 cooktops manufactured after June 2021 have had the all clear so yours like ours should be fine.
Oh good to hear, thanks mate
Love the Van!! White surfaces look amazing and spacious! 👌🏻
Thanks mate
Congratulations on your new van. We also have a matte white interior on our van which is just as you said looks much more spacious inside. Cheers
Totally love your van
Enjoy it guys
And totally agree with the gas heater we love our gas heater.
Some interesting tips and info. Tks.
It looks so nice! Looks like the best build so far👍🏽
Thank you! 😁 All the past vans rolled into one
Congratulations on your new camper! 👍🤙💪🌟⚡ nice layout. Looks like you'll have many great adventures
Thanks mate
Awesome van guys always love the tech stuff happy travels 😀
What an awesome van!! Enjoy ur next travel adventures with this bad boy!!!
Love the new van! Super excited to see the snow vids! Thanks for the info and links to the pockets - want to put these in our new van (arriving tomorrow after a 10 month wait!) 😬 so excited to hit the road - you guys are so inspiring to watch, great tips!
Thanks so much mate, enjoy the new van
"I can slow mo that down"... hahahahaha ouch!!!! Poor Bec, hope you're okay.
😂😂
Wow this looks amazing Just looking at your house it looks like you have incorporate some of the same colours of the wood and the white in to your caravan love it keep up the good work 🤟👍
Great feel to it 👌
Congrats guys. Looks awesome. Great idea for the pouches. We need some more for our van but nobody sells them aftermarket. Until now. Well done. We will buy a couple. Cheers, Adam.
Glad we can help
Beaut van! Cant wait for the next vid. We have a Thunderstorm Mk2 underway, really like your upgraded windows! They will be part of our "ghost chips". Cheers guys!
Looks AWESOME!!!
Cheers
Oh Bec, watch out for those low lying cupboards, poor head, i definitely know that feeling. Lovin the new caravan yay for happy times on the road. ❄️⛄❄️
thanks mate
What a rig guys. Cannot wait to see where you guys off to next 🙌
We've got the split windows in bedroom and luv em. Your new van is fabulous. Will make travelling that bit more comfortable
So good
Fully agree with having a front window. We have 24ft 2015 van with no front window gets quite warm in the bedroom
We def love it too.
Love the no plate microwave
Love the new van guys. Great episode. Cant wait to see the new adventures in the van
Thanks heaps mate
Nice van guys, congrats! Been in the news lately, owners of caravans fitted with Swift 500 Series gas cookers are being told not to use them due to safety concerns, not sure whether yours is this model but might be worth checking out.
Love the new van it’s so sick! Great videos guys! 👍🤘🏼🤍 love from the sunny coast!
Thanks so much!!
Your new caravan is so nice love the design of it you guys did such a good job
cheers mate
Brilliant
Love the microwave. I was told once that the only reason they put a turntable in domestic microwaves was so it looked like it was doing something :-) Having to wrap it up every time you move is a pain, if ours dies I will be looking for one of those!
You guys are awesome, love what you do. Cheers
Thanks heaps mate
Love the new van!
Love the timber bench top. Congrats the van is super.
thanks mate
Awesome van gang. Cupboards are tough 😆. Hope your heads ok Bec👍👍🍹🍹
Fantastic guys. It all looks brilliant. Bec, I’m sure you had a nice lump after that head knock!! 🤕
Great run thru guys. Really enjoyed your video. Safe travels.
Thanks! You too!
Love the new van,would have liked a peek at the 3rd bunk 😜
Love your new van. But why do Australian manufacturers insist on putting the Control Panel over the kitchen area?? 👎It should be located in the storage area above the battery equipment! (Also shortest cable run). The kitchen storage area should be for convenience when cooking. Beck has cooking ingredients and sauce bottles above the battery location when they would be far more conveniently situated in the kitchen overhead locker...
The storage pockets are a real great idea and extremely handy.
Truma gas heating is quick and warms fast, but is a little thirsty if used continuously in cold conditions.
Thanks for the internal tour. Exciting brand new customised van. Frank🙂
Very much agree re the location of control panels. Convenience during the build perhaps, but not during the use of the van...!
Love the new van so much! Got to see it's Sister in person at Brissy show. Just ordered some of the pouches for our new van. Can't have too many of those. Thanks for doing what you do!
So cool! thanks heaps guys
Thanks team TIAV.Congrats on the new van. Fingers crossed I win the air conditioner as our one has packed it in.
All the best cooks use gas. My first microwave was a flat one, turntable was in the top sealed section, it was great for big dishes. White wouldn't be my choice for the walls, lower cupboards, straw, pale timber, light donkey colours, light green, are easier to keep clean. White on the upper cabinets are ok but still hard to keep clean. Natural colours that reflect the outside, not too light or dark. I have a white kitchen, it shows every mark, drip, spill and is a pain to clean. My previous house had pear wood cabinets (Formica) that looked sensational and never showed a mark. I wish I had recreated that look again. 😕 The new trailer is great, I love the large countertops and the family sized table, Bec you won't have to sit on the bed to eat now.
Hope your head recovered quickly, I felt that bump here in Sydney!
I can back the white 100% Bec, we have white and 3 boys under 9 and admittedly ours is gloss white but I love it, I would always go white again. Also the windows we have the same ones and love them. Your kids are old enough to not break them the same way my 2 year old did (kicked the block out panel when the perspex was open and ripped it off its runner) but it was a simple fix with a bit of silver tape so no worries since. We have white fly mesh though and next time would definitely get black as it shows the dirt and bugs get rolled up in there often lol. Your comment about them needing to use magnets in the windows is spot on Bec! The twin latches on the big window are a pain in the butt but would still prefer them over the concertina style any day. Love the window above the bed head, I don't know why all vans don't have it! Two things I love about our van that I haven't seen in other vans: I have a rail under my overhead cabinets in the kitchen that I hang macrame fruit baskets on, I actually also hang a hook off there that's meant to go on a pram handlebar and that's how I hang my bananas. I keep them in a bunch and hook them by their hand so no basket needed 👌bananas are a bit cumbersome in a basket I've found. I also hang the kettle off it when I want to get it off the stove but not burn the bench top. We also have a custom height over the bunk beds so the whole van height steps up about 6 inches over the rear of the van so we have a higher ceiling back there. It allows more generous head height for each bunk and it is noticeable. I am 5'10" with long legs and I can lay in the bunks with my knees bent and not touch the bunk above. We love it. Also this is particular to our brand of van but we have a rain water catchment system and it is 👌👌👌👌👌 cannot rave about it enough! When it rains and your caravanning full time it's a full on buzz kill but the rain water catchment is a silver lining. It is the only good thing about rain while caravanning! We can fill 240L of beautiful rain water (tastes brilliant too!) in a good downpour no worries at all. Love the new van guys and I was nodding my head pretty much the whole time with every comment you made. I'm interested to see that you went black pack again as I was one of the people wondering about the paint chipping and calcium build up but I do like the appearance so it's good to hear you back it and went the same again.
Oh good to hear!!!
Nice rig, congrats.
Looks spot on ! Looking forward to travel along with you guys😊👍🍷
Can't wait! thanks mate
@@TripInAVan 😊👍
Awesome van guys love the hat storage can't wait for the tech vid and if the BBQ is still the same
Wow great looking van , surprised you went with a satellite dish and not a star link system , oh and welcome to the gas heater club 👍
Sweet looking rig mate. Love it
