Cheers mate. Yes that rear fold up is def a point for dust ingress being at the back of the van, the cabin pressure system is good, and currently being made even better. We are enjoying being able to have input into improving what we think is a great product and making it better, importantly the guys at Conqueror are listening.

Bisley on board well done all those work shirts in the video's has paid off for you con grats

[@stuartkcalvin]

01:15 I have four small, double ended carabiners that are placed when the over-centre latches are closed on the roof. They go on the dash or my car key-ring when the latches are open - it's a good check. A very good walk around. The tip about the awning legs is a great idea even though I have a mechanical awning which will work for me. The table option is very clever. What do you think about gas heating versus diesel heating? By the time I got my van, diesel heating wasn't an option, I wanted to go gas-less with induction cooking as I have 2 x 300Ah Lithiums, 1200W of solar and a 2300W inverter. My gas bottles are 2 x 4.5 with bespoke fittings, so I carry an eight kilo for the Weber Baby Q with standard fittings. You recently asked me a question about a DPF delete - it's not worth it if you require a pink slip every 12 months. In the ACT, it's possible for quite a while. Other States and Territories, not so. Any good exhaust shop can disguise a DPF delete, with the DPF construct remaining in place.

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Thanks for the comment mate and a great tip with the carabiners. I’ve had both now and they both work really well(diesel and gas heating) it’s hard to pick a favourite yet.

[@kylecameron3313]

Nice unit

[@natek189]

Been watching all your content going around oz and reviews on gear. Please don't take it the wrong way as i can see what your trying to acheive with more remote offroad but i can't see your wife and the kids coping for space coming out of a very nice 19ft plus van. Being outside in shocking weather cooking and the pack up would become tiring after awhile. Hope it all works out for you guys cause we can see the joy in your review.

[@SmartTouringSystems]

No dramas mate, before we had the Titanium we had a smaller van than the Conqueror which we spent 3 months straight in and before that we had a camper trailer and swags in between them all. Time to get back to camping a bit more. I agree that at times the weather will be testing, but that’s life. 🍻

[@bazradventures]

Great looking van and well done on the new purchase. I may have missed it, but how much solar have you got and can you plug more in? Are you able to provide a rough ball park cost with the options you have? Happy camping

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Hi Baz it has 300w on the roof, with the ability to plug more in. Visit www.conqueror4x4.Com.au for more info and pricing.

Cracking Vid Guys and cracking Van , What sort or money Guys,

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Hey mate, around 80 depending on options. 👍🏼

[@joelfrancis5391]

So many bad reviews in online forums. The layouts spot on but an $80k chinese made hybrid needs to be spot on.

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Hi Joel, Conqueror have had their issues in the past, but the guys are constantly improving the product. Where have you read the reviews we are always curious about peoples opinions.

[@michaelnugara1]

They are an impressive unit, however I think the draw bar is too short and those boxes would get damaged easily. Not sure if you mentioned if there was solar on top and just wondering how much you could get into the pantry door bags and still be able to close the door. Surprised you didn't say too much about the rear suspension set up regarding the trailing arms. After watching your offroad vid, it appears the ramp over angle is compromised by the water tank and departure by the rear Step. You don't need that rear step and it wouldn't take much to damage it. Set up isn't too bad though. Also interested to know more about the composite panels and where they're made. Being a Chinese van concerns me also. Thanks for sharing

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Thanks for the comments and some fair concerns, stay tuned for a review shortly.

[@felishagathright4013]

Love the Conqueror, but how do you cook in rain? I would rather have manual 360 awning .

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Yes we would prefer the 180 awning also for that exact reason.

[@ironnatz6791]

Hi guys, are conqueror looking to do a couples version where hey push the ensuite forward and loose the bunk? That would be mint. Also would you spend 8-9 months in one, just you and the missus?

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Hey guys. They do have more models coming, but easier to Contact Conqueror www.conqueror4x4.Com.au As far as spending 8-9 months in one. The best answer that I can give is that we did 3 months with the four of us in a Jurgens Tufftrax about 6 year ago and it was smaller and without an internal shower toilet, so yes I would and mainly so we can do more offgrid and harder to reach places.

@@SmartTouringSystems thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

[@patryanlrd666]

Is there clips to lock the rear wall from the inside? Other could be easy to break into.

[@SmartTouringSystems]

They don’t have anything from the inside, but that is a fair point that I will take to Conqueror. They do supply some small padlocks, but yeah something on the inside would be convenient.

[@nicknick7052]

What a great caravan, it looks pretty solid and plenty of practical solutions. And the weight figures are also so good, only 1,145Kg for the tare plus 255Kg for the payload. With the full tank of 190 liters of water, you can still have 65Kg available for whatever you need on holidays. Excellent product.

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Cheers nick. The tare is 2245 and the gvm is 2800 leaving 555kg for payload.

[@CH-ef9he]

Hi we are looking at one for a lap. how comfortable is the bed and what is the tow ball weight for your setup? thank you

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Hey mate. The bed has surprised us so far as we thought it would not be that comfortable, we have slept well on it. Maybe add a topper for longer trips though. Honestly I haven’t measured ball weight, the compliance plate says 268kg at tare. So I would say it would be around 300kg. Our last van was 350kg ball weight and the uev14 doesn’t sag the rear of the ute anywhere near as much.

[@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek]

Does this model have the rear bed that converts to a couch? And if so, do you need still need to open the back to sit on the couch? Thanks mate

[@SmartTouringSystems]

Yeah mate it does covert to a dinette and yes you could use it whilst the back is folded up.

[@absicme1505]

@@SmartTouringSystems a couple of further questions. Have you used the aircon yet? Is it any good? Is it loud? Do you have fans, ie. sirocco in the van? Is the heater loud under the bed? With the electric awning have you been in the rain and do you get rain coming between the awning and van? I know the 180 has a bit of a gutter with the bag but I do like the electric awning with an added privacy wall along the length when required. Thanks guys.

[@smarttouringsystems-garage]

@@absicme1505 we’ve used the air-con only as a heater and it works fine, is about as loud as any other caravan air con. Seems to be ever so slightly quieter than our previous van’s AC which was a Truma. Keep in mind, most AC units in vans won’t heat if it’s approx below 4° Yes there are 2 Sirocco fans either side of the main bed. The gas heater is excellent!! And super quiet. It’s quieter than the Webasto diesel heater in our previous van and heats up quicker also. No rain coming in off the awning between it and the van but we do get water blowing in on the kitchen when it’s out. I know Conqueror are looking into an additional canvas piece that will go at the kitchen end to prevent this. Personally, we like the idea of the batwing style awning, and we will be getting this next, as we believe the extra setup is worth it for a more superior undercover area.

[@garymatthews7363]

I was keen to watch this but the interest faded with every clip during the set up & a few faults like having to get a ladder up to the rear roof clips & step up on the boxes to the front clips , the uncovered truma vent to let in dust & the flat face gas bottle box to ricochet rocks into your vehicle. Being a new model I’m sure they’ll evolve & get better. Sorry but my MDC XT12 is better in my eyes. I’ll keep watching to see what’s next…
