Like the " parking" lights i saw at the beginning

Any particular eeason you chose a JB van? Did you consider Kedron or look at one?

[@brettandamber]

G'day. We looked at a huge range and narrowed it down to jb, masterpiece and a few others. In the end jb was better value for money for us and they had a good quality reputation. Would have loved a masterpiece or lotus but they're just way too much money and the budget didn't allow. There's so many good vans out there.

Excellent Vlog presentation, I’m guessing this vans value is quite high?

[@brettandamber]

Thankyou. We're getting better at it haha. They're towards the higher end but buying second hand definitely got us the extras we wouldn't have afforded in a new van.

@@brettandamber What is your legal GCM? With the van loaded, how much weight can you put in the car?

[@brettandamber]

@@trickster8635 gcm is 7800. Van is 4500 but I can only tow it at 4t.

[@ultimateadventuresblog6564]

@@brettandamber HI, im confused. At the start of the vid you said it had a D035? That is only rated to 3.5t ?

[@brettandamber]

@@ultimateadventuresblog6564 I've had it all upgraded now. Will do a vid in the coming weeks.

I have no idea, how all these companies DO NOT go with 48V Lithium Systems like Victron or SAFIERY?????. 12V is dead as dead, super inefficient, and old school. Any good caravan company would use those 2 brands ( or others) - that offer 48V systems, as they are soooooooooooooo much better than 12V. Plus SAFIERY now offer Sodium Ion batteries - SO MUCH SAFER AND BETTER than Lithium batteries. I also cannot figure, how for true, off-road vans - why you do not incorporate a water desalination system????- The 2 biggest issues ANY off-road/remote touring people have is food and WATER!!!!!!..... If you have a desalination unit - you can stay anywhere that there is either saltwater and/or brackish water.......I am so surprised, all these caravan companies, never consider the newest tech into their builds, yet hoodwink customers who have no idea!!!!!

[@brettandamber]

Maybe it's a cost issue. Vans are already expensive. In regard to desalination systems... We've never had an issue with getting free fresh water in the whole of Australia... Most towns are on the coast and supply fresh water so I'm not sure why you'd need a desal system.
