2025 Zone RV Peregrine Walkthrough | East Coast Shakedown Trip | 19ft Off Road Caravan Tour [EP65]

The Our Australia Trip 2025 Calendar (only a few left) : www.ouraustraliatrip.com/store
Welcome to our new caravan walk-through episode, done a little differently!
We spend a week travelling down the East Coast of NSW in our new 2025 Zone RV 19ft Peregrine. Along the way, we find plenty of cool campsites including Red Cliffs Camping Area, Platypus Flat in the Coffs Hinterland and Trial Bay Campground in South West Rocks. At each spot, we show you through a different part of our caravan and review some of our favourite features so far. We also get a chance to test both the off-road and off-grid capabilities of the new van during a week of very minimal sun. If you have any questions about our caravan or travels, leave them in the comments below.
We hope you enjoyed watching this episode and thanks so much for the support and kindness on our videos! We're on the trip of a lifetime as we travel Australia full-time so subscribe now to see the whole adventure.

Zone have achieved a big win by partnering with you lovely young people. Fantastic and comprehensive overview of this marvellous van. Haley is a natural at such presentations and her detailed look at the features and benefits of the interior were first class. Well done to you both. Wishing you many happy travels!

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hi Ian, thanks for the kind words mate 🙌 Could you tell she was a teacher in a previous life? 😅

Amazing whale encounters, with perfect weather !

Thank you so much Louise 🥰

[@mickhill4576]

Great walk through on the van. You can clearly see how excited Brad was with the new zone. Looking forward to seeing you 2025 adventures.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers Mick! Loving the new rig & looking forward to an epic 2025 😁

[@ThisVagabondLife]

Great walkthrough in some epic locations (love the contrast). Good to see continuous improvement from Zone. The systems are just brilliant. Comfort wise - electric awning and pillow top mattress are the bees knees 😊

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks mate! Was an unortodox trip down the coast, very enjoyable nonetheless! Would have to agree with you on those options 🙌

[@UncleDobby]

Thanks for refreshing presentation of a new van walkthrough - done in the wild. Well done! Love the van too.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers Daryl, we're looking forward to some epic travels in 2025 too 😀

[@philg2468]

Great van, but just a heads up - if you use much of your 800Ah and you have shading and bad weather you'll struggle getting the caravan batteries back to a usable capacity. So what we have done is add another 400Ah lithium to the car and we have up to 80A charging via 2 xDCDC chargers and a bit of roof solar. Can simply run a 240V cord from the car's 3000W inverter to the caravan when it is needed. Whenever you're unhitched and you take the car for a drive you get heaps of charge back despite the weather. Much simpler installation too.

[@our.australia.trip.]

The 100amp charger pumps the charge in, with a full day of sun or plugging into 240 you can be charged back up from 10% SOC in less than 7hrs

[@jethorse1816]

We love your videos. Awesome new van. Red Cliff is a great spot. Sandon River is just a bit further south and is also another hidden gem. Happy travels.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks for the support! She's a beaut hey 🙌 So many gems on the East Coast, if it weren't for the poor weather we would've hung around a bit longer!

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome guys , great new van and some fantastic camp spots 👍🤠

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks legend! Love getting the best of both worlds. The East Coast is so good for that 🙌 I must thank you too for providing some great recon on Yadboro Flat, if it weren't for your vid we might not have tried to get in there, another cracking spot!! 🍻

[@shaddonaghue]

@ oh wow , thanks so much , yeah we loved it down there. Been watching heaps of yours lately, you guys have inspired us to head of on a longer trip soon 🤠👍

[@our.australia.trip.]

Looking forward to seeing where you guys head off to 🇦🇺🍻

[@t4tpsi]

Congrats on your new van. Little to clinical for me personally, lacking the character titanium and lotus offer. But still very nice

[@our.australia.trip.]

Different strokes hey! We like the simplicity. Like us, I think a big tick for most is the standard options and tare weight.

[@mazymonroe8749]

Agree!

[@aaronhunter7062]

Nice people

[@jacquiyoung8703]

We love the clean lines of our Zone. For us we bring in colour and character by quilts etc. it won’t date like other vans.

[@johnmckie-xy5ob]

Hi hope you enjoy the new van by the way I just brought 2 bottles of the musket you are drinking . Monday 9th now🍷🍷

Great episode. Always enjoy your content. We love our Zone and so Jealous of the new model..it looks amazing with the new bits.. Keep up the great work.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers guys & Sorry!! It’s has been great though to get our mitts on the latest gear 🇦🇺

[@mayaguest4048]

We were at Platypus Flat a few weeks ago. Could have stayed a week.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Us too, cant wait to get back down there. So peaceful 🥰 Did you see any platypus?

[@mayaguest4048]

@@our.australia.trip.we stopped in on a day trip doing the forest drive only staying long enough for lunch. There were people swimming so no platypus. That’s why we want to go back.

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Thanks for showing the real world fully loaded ball weight. It is hard to get a feeling for the difference between the tare and fully loaded ball weights. I almost purchased a Peregrine last year but ended up buying a second hand Zone 18.6 Venture series (no longer part of the line up) due to the lighter ball weight. Otherwise I would have been up for a new car as well. Despite my vehicle being rated for 3.5 tonne towing and 350kg ball weight there is no way the rear axle could take the extra 490kg that a 350kg ball weight would have added. 320kg would also be too much. Looks like I made the right decision and have around a 270kg loaded ball weight with our van. Pity though because the electrics in the Zone vans have come a long way. In many other respects though they are very similar. Thanks for the video.

[@our.australia.trip.]

I reckon you could get it down to 300kg pretty easily. We carry a lot of extra gear for remote trips in the front box. Glad your still able to enjoy your own Zone though 😊 Thanks for watching

[@dianewade2517]

Congratulations on your new van. We picked up our Sojourn this year. Love it but there has been issues. My husband and I saw you at Yardie crossing in 2017 before we knew you were KZbinrs. We love your travels and your photography & drone footage is outstanding. I noticed you have leather pockets by your bedside. Can you please let me know if they were provided by Zone or purchased elsewhere.

[@gavinhowie8189]

Love the new van guys. Well done. While we have a fabulous van I would still like to move into a Zone I think they are a quality product. A question for you however and maybe I should be directing this one to Zone themselves. Is there another option other than an induction cook top. My wife has a pacemaker and cannot be around an induction cook top. And before I get all the smart comments about me doing all the cooking. She likes to cook!

[@our.australia.trip.]

Hey Gav, thanks for tuning in mate & we appreciate the kind words. There unfortunately is no substitute, being a gas-less internal any other method of cooking other than electric could compromise this.

[@gavinhowie8189]

@ cheers guys. Thanks for the quick response. Enjoy your travels.

[@user-tq4zm9yr6l]

The mini is on special this month

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks for letting us know, We might have to grab it 😀

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Congrats on the new van. The Zones are in my opinion one of the nicest full size vans and I like that they still embrace outdoor cooking. Starlink has a sale on at the moment until end January. Do some research as the mini will be a little better than your current set up the V4 is faster again. Also pretty sure you can use your own promo code. Great episode guys. Matt and Leisa.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks for tuning in guys! Absolutely, one of our favourite things is cooking and enjoying the outdoors. Makes it easy with all the modern amenities. I didn't realise the new one is faster? Just saw it on sale, might have to look into it 😊

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

@ we have just mounted our new V4 flat on our tow vehicle so we have coverage even when away from the van.

[@Gary-xt3eq]

Hey Guys - great to meet you both at Hanger O - ZPP376 going well so far. Just a question - is the coffee machine fixed in place and if so how? Cheers

[@our.australia.trip.]

Was great to catch you briefly too Gary! It stays on the bench using Silwy Magnets 🧲😀

[@guymilton8299]

Loved the walkthrough guys - I supply a product to Zone so good to see our gear - where do you store the coffee machine while on the go ?

[@highvibe4839]

Merry Xmas Brad and Hayley, looking forward to seeing your east coast travels, so much to see and do, we’ll be following your tracks in February, we have the same set up. I only wished we’d chosen the automatic awning, as my sailing hubby loves his ropes 😂 and wanted the fiddly manual pull out to cope with strong winds during the nights. I wonder if it was mating season with those Roos having a boxing match over the female! 🤣you wouldn’t want to step in and stop that match. Ouch!

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks guys & trust your travelling well 🙌 Merry Xmas to you too!! Where are you guys spending it? Haha, the manual awning is definitely a workout sometimes! Feb will be perfect! The best place to spend summer beach hopping this coastline 😍

[@highvibe4839]

@@our.australia.trip.probably spending Xmas at home ( Sunny coast region) but then we may take off in van and hopefully find a quieter spot somewhere in the S.E. away from crowds. I have to be near water though, ( lakes, rivers or dams included it’s just too hot otherwise, to be honest the quiet days don’t exist at Xmas along our coast lines anymore, so it may end up a mystery tour!

[@dotwillcoxson5352]

Nice van and excellent presentation. However please keep your hands on the wheel and stop looking down at the brake controller. Safety first.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Sorry!

[@sonmumanddog]

Still love the videos and now loving the new van. Can I ask, does the coffee machine stay out when travelling, if so, how do you secure it? If not, where do you store it, I can't find a suitable place for mine where I have easy access.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks for tuning in 😁 Yes it does stay on the bench! We hold it down with these (www.everythingcaravans.com.au/products/magnetic-power-bundle-black-by-silwy) - hasn't moved at all 🙌

[@hudson2476]

Firstly, I love the videos and your Australian Adventures. Also loved the colabs with SKT who definitely should have won TFI. So i think you may have let this slip by accident, but i heard Brad say around the 11min mark that you are going to miss the V8?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers Hudson! SKT were up against some tough competition, they delivered an epic film though 🙌 Good ears, that was a little easter egg for those paying attention!

[@hudson2476]

@our.australia.trip. I look forward to seeing what you choose for a new tow rig. Actually come to think of it, I might recall in another video you guys were saying something about more than two seats. 🤔

[@kevinsmith902]

You guys are amazing, by far the best episode representing zone RV so far. We have a 2025 peregrine on the way. Hope to see you on the road one day we learn so much from your videos. Only question we have is the whole toilet paper in the Ogo yes or no? Heading to Bunnings now to make up that manifold that is perfect for filling the van. Keep up the good work !

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks so much for the kind words Kevin! Thats bloody exciting & yes we will have to keep an eye out for each other 🤩 We chuck the lot in there, even the coffee grounds sometimes to keep the moisture level right. Just break the TP into single squares so it doesn't get wrapped around the agitator. Get this manifold (www.bunnings.com.au/aqua-systems-4-way-tap-adaptor-outlet_p3110315) its perfectly spaced to the zone manifold eliminating the hoses (i found this out after i made my brass one) 😅 Have a great Sunday mate & thanks for tuning in 👍

[@highvibe4839]

It’s a Personal choice, you will figure it out as you use.

[@dalecaddaye5555]

Great video guys. I tow a 2.5t van with a 79 series ute (which I love). Just wondering if you have changed the clutch or put in a heavy duty one? (You may have mentioned it in a prior video so apologies if you have). I still have the original clutch after 30,000 km and its still working perfectly but with your vans being a bit heavier I'm interested to know how your clutch has lasted. I always look forward to your travels and as I'm based in Brisbane, it's great to see you back on the East Coast.

[@our.australia.trip.]

Cheers Dale, yeah HD clutch is essential to towing a big van like this. Im surprised yours has lasted so long! Plenty of EC travels to come, grateful for you tuning in 😁

[@steveseeney3864]

Hey Guys , did you sell the old van ? And if so did it hold its value? Cheers great episode thanks!

[@our.australia.trip.]

Yes she's gone to a new home & yes they hold their value awesome. We touch on resale in this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWG3nJZrjriHl80si=FJg3EPPk1gV7v4pC

[@NateIcke]

Beautiful caravan 🎉congratulations, well done on the run down walk through, I just about spat out my coffee when you said 800amp of battery and 1200watts of solar haha epic. How much for one of these 19ft Zone caravans? Can you run the aircon at night time and how much battery would it draw down overnight? Love the look of the van also 😍

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thank you! The power system is awesome on these vans 💪 You could run the ac overnight off grid, when cycling it draws around 80amps. If it was cycling on half the time during an 8 hr period you'd draw around 320amps. We've never had the need to run the ac at night though. These vans start at around 162k Zone have an online configurator where you can build your own & see pricing and tare weights 😊 www.zonerv.com.au/off-road-caravans/peregrine

[@StephenLyon-b3q]

New vans pretty flash, and your comment “I’m gunna miss the V8” suggests a new vehicle as well, what are you getting a 300?

[@our.australia.trip.]

Its still up for debate 😅

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely ep and area and awesome van guys, I just wonder why you go such a big van, When there's only Two of you , why not go a 17,ft Tandem setup, that drops you hole weight on your towing 4wd and your rear axle weights and then can have a Tinny on the 4wd,

[@our.australia.trip.]

Thanks Craig, was a nice change of pace checking out this neck of the woods 🙌 We have talked about all different combos. The 19ft i think is the perfect size for us to tour and work full time without compromise. Whats interesting is we were going to bring a boat on this East coast stint, but last minute decide against it. Best decision we made, because there might've been 1 day out of the last 5 weeks where there were suitable conditions to use it!

[@therocks-p2b]

Great van guys as we have the same but please don’t keep telling people the hot water is continuous because it isn’t. It is only capable of delivering hot water for 3-4 minutes before cooling down.

[@our.australia.trip.]

We have back to back showers and do washing up and never wait for hot water, to us thats continuous! The only time we've had to wait is in freezing temps where the water in the tanks cools the glycol much quicker. But in usual travelling conditions, we've found it to be the best system 😀

[@our.australia.trip.]

Zone are constantly innovating and the Peregrine model has received a lot of upgrades since we got our first one. It’s part of our job to take content for Zone and talk to people about the van, so having the upgraded model helps with our work we do with them. We talked more about the changeover into the new van at the end of this episode here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWG3nJZrjriHl80si=zmORu4HlUY-hQWho

[@sarvon-rockefellas]

if all powerful benevolent god is the true creator of every thing not the satans ruling you human slaves then why would god want & need to create creatures of hell called cockroaches flies mosquitoes snakes spiders scorpions centipedes termites ? why would god want & need to create system of life where any thing clean becomes dirty by default but any thing dirty never becomes clean by default ? why would god want & need to create system of life where any thing intact crumble into pieces by default but crumbled pieces never become intact by default ?

[@glenndavis5179]

WTF

[@our.australia.trip.]

From an ecological perspective, these creatures contribute to the balance and sustainability of life. What may appear as "creatures of hell" often have a purpose that benefits the greater system. It’s not necessarily a flaw but a fundamental part of the dynamic, ever-changing universe. Without decay and change, life as we know it wouldn't evolve or adapt. Growth, renewal, and creativity often emerge from the breakdown of the old. From a spiritual or philosophical standpoint, some believe that imperfection and challenge are integral to life’s purpose. They encourage growth, learning, and resilience. A world without flaws, decay, or adversity might lack the depth required for souls to evolve, appreciate beauty, and seek meaning.
