🎉BIG NEWS For 2025! Re-Thinking Design For Off Grid Caravans 👌

[@jenpatjen]

Really interesting to have a look at this van, I’m a huge fan of keeping it simple. And even though I’m stuck with my colour way, I love seeing what others do, my favourite hobby is looking at vans ☺️ so bring it on Liz 👍

[@ronrogers9610]

I have seen recently awnings made of solar panels just roll out the same as normal a little bit expensive but could be a good idea all the best Ron

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

They're a really interesting idea, but they won't fit this style of van.

[@ThisVagabondLife]

That was a great run-through of the systems and features you're looking towards for your new build! Have been looking at changing out the gas hot water for a diesel unit, so as to be gas-free internally. However, a side benefit that I use heaps is the 240v electric heating circuit on the gas hot water. With solar filling the batteries well before midday, that excess power is now used for hot water heating (turning the inverter on). Haven't used gas for hot water since January (when I twigged on to this). So far I haven't come across any diesel hot water units that have 240v electric heating elements as well, so I haven't made the change yet.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks for the insight, we used to have a similar gas system for hot water with 240v as an option, we don't miss it as much as we thought we would. The diesel is so effictient.

[@gailhellmuth]

Love the seperatt tiny toilet. We had ours 18 months got rid of the cassette. Best toilet ever.

[@Travelbug68]

Hi Liz I would recommend earthy colours down below, nothing too dark as it will show all the dust and not matte as that will show all the marks. Darker colour in the uppers will definitely close you in, especially at night when there’s no natural light coming in, so keep it to the lighter neutral shades and maybe in a matte for a modern look. Have fun with the colours and I can’t wait to see what you do 😊👍🏽🎨

[@rolandhollingsworth4558]

We have ordered our next van with Gloss cupboards which has always worked. We have matt in our home kitchen, and after time it shows all the wear marks around the handles and you can't clean/remove them.

[@Travelbug68]

@ I renovated my last home and put in a gloss white kitchen, I loved it and it opened up a smallish space beautifully. This home I purchased with a matte white kitchen and I love it too. It’s not as reflective but much easier on the eye and still gives the sense of space. In a small area with artificial lights on at night, a glossy ceiling, cupboards and walls can be a little bright to the senses after a while. It would be great if you could have a matte ceiling, that would fix the problem of the glare 😊👍🏽🤣 Materials are much better and a lot easier to clean now, I see a few influencers have done matte in their new builds for this reason. You must be incredibly excited to hit the road in your new van 😍 Happy travels 😊

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Appreciate the colour suggestions - we'll definitely keep them in mind!

[@brianmercer0113]

Would love to be in the Bluetti draw. Was great to meet up with you all the other day.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks for saying hi! Hope you enjoyed the show.

[@ianking6772]

hi 24 V solar is a good idea but use victron controllers for your solar. I have tried enerdrive and itech and ebay ones . victron gives the highest amps out if you keep your batteries at 12 V especially if you have two controllers as they don’t counteract each other with battery voltage. there is no need to use a 24 V inverter as the cables are normally right next to the battery and the cable runs would be short. I don’t know if you read my last message but putting a dishwasher under the fridge would give you a lot more room width and height depending on the fridge of course. I hope this information was useful. Have a nice day.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers, we're leaning towards using all Victron components this time around. We'll be fitting a pretty big inverter so a 24v one might be the better option to save some space and weight. The dishwasher won't fit under the fridge unfortunately, as the cabinets aren't big enough. Cheers.

[@kamgirl64]

Love you guys. I have always enjoyed the amount of information you guys pack into an episode. I am getting closer to being able to set off on my own adventure as a single woman. I would love to be in your draw. x

[@BaileyRoadtrippers]

Yes please, love to be in the draw for the Bluetti 😊. Internal colours - highly recommend the white gloss, it reflects light beautifully and in a small space makes it feel so much bigger! Something to consider with dark overheads - in the heat they do make the van feel hotter. Another enjoyable video 😊

[@OzSafe1]

I’m building an experimental 18’ composite van which is mostly done. Looks like a Zone RV but there’s a reason for that. Because I have no interest in caravanning (I’ve never been though) and I have 3 trades behind me there’s freedom to think differently during this build because I don’t have to filter everything through ‘the norm’. You guys were talking out power and I agree so I went with a 5kw EcoFlow, 3700w inverter and 2000w of solar on the roof. There are 3 fixed panels (1200w) and 2x400w remote controlled panels on an invented slide system. Pulls about 1.6kw per hour. I’m just about to do all the cabinets and I agree with you Liz so I’ll be making them all out of composite with a wooden Victorian Ash insert with a stainless steel strip. Saw it on a $10m yacht and it looked classy. There will be no door handles either on any of the cupboards because of another invention. Everything will be press to open with an electronic locking system behind the scenes. There’s a stack of other ideas on this thing so I get what you guys are thinking with your ‘what’s in what’s out’ attitude. I think there is so much copy/paste in the industry that everything just looks like the same.

[@fleurneumann8430]

Have got my MU X set up as a tourer and getting my caravan in a month so trying to get things i think i may need, it seems never ending lol

[@rossharvey1496]

Simon, I have an electric Ziggy in my toolbox slide-out. It works fine. We don’t have any gas, but we do carry one of those little $30 gas cartridge cookers you can buy anywhere just in case we get low on power. I was interested in the desalination device but opted to make my own creek water purification system. It’s easy to do and we find ourselves next to fresh water lots more than the ocean. Even so, we’ve only needed to use it once so far so it may not be worth it in the long term.

[@carmelwest2100]

Happy to watch any of the suggestions for future videos. Have you seen any videos from "Sailing La Vagabond"? They've just built a new Catamaran and they have awesome interior colours, dark and moody with pops of colour. May give you some ideas. Would love to be in the draw for a Bluetti as well.

[@1000adstar]

Great van. Agree with the east west and combo shower/toilet. We have both and prefer it. So much more space in the van and makes a small van, big. We also have the Tiny toilet. Changed our world. We have 20L external tank for it. You can bury it if you really want. Just need to use composting bags. Re aircon, I think you will be better off keeping it off the roof. For the reasons you said, plus they shade your panels. We get shading on ours from aircon and we get more power from the mobile panels because of the shading. Especially if you go 24v, any shading with knock out even more solar. Good luck. Cheers, Adam

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks Adam, great advice on the aircon placement!

[@OurOutbackJourney]

Some great points. I have a couple of questions: 1. interested in a review of the toilet in a future episode please, as we are undecided on what to do with ours. 2. is it easy to retrofit a grey water diverter in a Titanium van? 3. Did you say your dirty dishes container was from Kmart? 4. Have you found an easy way to clean the van blinds? TIA

[@NatalieJ-v2b]

Hey guys! Great episode! I would love if you could cover content on awning mats, storage inside the van (life pantry items and getting weight down and getting the most out of the storage room (containers for instance) , how much water and solar you need off grid for a family, more on the toilet pleaseeee, ford ranger storage for use without the van and whether you would have done a GCM/ GVM upgrade?

[@veo_]

Love the information guys. I'm looking forward to all the upcoming informational videos. The interior design content sounds really interesting as I'd love to see a good non-white-box cafe-style caravan realized. I'm sure you can do it! I think a "Dark Scandi" or even a "Dark Japandi" sorta vibe could work well in a caravan as it can do darker matte or muted color matte while maintaining openness and brightness. Food for Thought. I just subscribed to the newsletter and would love to be considered for that Bluetti unit. Cheers!

[@zoezoe610]

The achillies heel of a big power system is induction and it is best to always have a gas option to use when the cloudy days roll in even if it is a portable gas option. We have a reasonable solar battery setup and having a gas external gas option for cloudy days saves heaps of power. When cloudy days come and you want to camp for a week or two another option is handy. I know you are not generator people but they give you the ultimate freedom when off grid and you are never bothered by cloudy days. In your next van lift the bed higher to give you more outside boot space underneath. Check out Zone's latest van ( The summit ) they have done away with a front tool box and have done storage differently and they have now added colour to their vans which are a light touch which Liz might like.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks for the great feedback - we're definitely thinking about these things for our next build!

Cool episode guys. If your concerned about the gloss on the internal roof, you can always get it wrapped in a colour of your choice

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

True, but it's a no cost option to get the matte finish so we'll go with that (it's what we had in our old Titanium)

[@JohnMiddleton-sv4hf]

Have you thought of putting a wrap on the cupboards as i have seen some amazing prints done that way and you can have anything you want on them, my favorite one was a tropical forest.

[@janphillips295]

I think with the east west bed, the worst thing would be sheet change day. Trying to get a fitted sheet over the corners whilst you are kneeling on the mattress is very sweat inducing 😅

[@robtampion4009]

Guys, we have a combo toilet & shower. It saves space, it is at the rear of our caravan as is the entry. Walking in from the outside we have on the RHS a large pantry then the fridge then the combo toilet ensuite. To ensure both the toilet & the toilet paper don’t get wet we have installed a small curtain rod on the ceiling & when showering it’s drawn across to keep the water from the toilet & paper. I don’t know how to send a photo to show you guys but if the designers or yourselves & the bathroom design lends itself to the above it surely will negate the need to store the paper elsewhere. We also have 2 water outlets in the fibreglass floor that runs the majority of water out into the grey water tank, minimal left on the floor. Finally, how long does one use the facility, our comment not long to warrant a separate facility for each. Cheers.

[@hsvme6508]

Hey guys, great vid,thanks for that. To help us with our next build, I’ve got 2 questions. First, You mentioned going a smaller roof hatch, we’re thinking of deleting roof hatches, I’m interested why you are going to keep the hatch and not free room up for solar. Second, you briefly mentioned the chassis coating, I’m a bit of a Galv traditionalist, how have you found the black coating in the stone impact areas ie drawbar and directly after the van tyres, is it chipping off? Keep up the great content. Ps darker/moody interior colours are brilliant, had them in our last van and will go that again. Can send you our colours in the van we just sold if it helps. Jason and Mon

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

The roof hatch just worked out with the solar layout. Deleting it wouldn't allow for any more panels so we figured why not. The chassis coating is holding up really well, even better than gal. We're a big fan of it.

[@hsvme6508]

@ thanks for that, I’m still struggling with the thought of letting go of galv :) Makes sense with the hatch if there’s no benefit from extra solar panels. one thing to consider we noticed on our last van, that a reasonable amount of heat came through the closed hatch. That was another reason we were considering deleting. The insulated roof without openings will do much better at keeping the inside cool and help make life easier for the AC. Food for thought. I think we’ll still delete them in our next van, even if the solar panel numbers aren’t affected.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

@@hsvme6508 interstingly we find having the hatch helps the hot air escape and helps keep the van cooler without the AC on. Having had both (with and without) we're keen to try and keep one.

[@hsvme6508]

@ that makes sense, but alternatively, wouldn’t the exhaust fan be better at that? Also have you tried the DRS to push out the initial hot air when first opening the van after being closed. And not being critical at all, I’m genuinely interested as we’ll be making the same decision. Middle of the day when the suns belting in we found it too hot.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

@@hsvme6508 potentially, we have the ensuite exhaust fan, but like the natural light the we can get in with the hatch as well. I don't think the DRS would push enough air to be effective, but it probably helps. Agree with the direct sun being a problem though, we often keep it closed with the blind pulled over during the middle of the day.

Hi Guys, love the experiences and info, simple but important question from a W a a couple about to set off on a 3 Month Kimberly Adventure. Starlink and PLB are they absolutely a necessity? Need to close out an ongoing discussion? T.I. A.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

The Kimberley is a vast and remote region, so it’s definitely a good idea to be prepared. We'd recommend a PLB at a minimum. Starlink is great if you can fit it into the budget and you can pause the subscription when you return home. If you're not using it often there's a 50Gb plan which is more affordable.
