Great Aussie Odyssey - "Caravan Walk Around (2022 Great Aussie Xplora 19'6 Off Road / Off Grid)".

Bonus Episode - We reveal Beauty, our 2022 Great Aussie Caravan Xplora 19'6. After nearly 5 months of trouble-free ownership, including giving her a really tough shakedown in Tasmania, we can not be happier with our caravan and are excited to do this walk around.

I agree with you 100% regarding the jockey wheel, applies all caravan manufacturers. Piss off those useless things.👍

Hello Mike and Sam, we have just recently started following your channel, thoroughly enjoying your content. We have just finished watching your caravan walk through. Nice van, well laid out with all the comforts of home. Could you please let me know the brand of the mozzie zapper you have (I couldn't quiet pick up the brand). Thank you, enjoy your adventures, stay safe, travel safe. Best wishes, Debbie and Greg Mawhirt

[@greataussieodyssey]

Thanks for the support 🙏🏻 We do love the van ! and the mozzie zappers are called Ozzie Mozzie

Hi Mike and Sam we have followed you from the start what a nice inside and outside walk around of your car and van my wife would love to know about the bin in the bathroom and the mozzie zapper. Are you going to do a separate video on the composting toilet? We have just ordered a van and my wife is very unsure of the toilet on how it works and how you operate and change the contents thanks for the great content we love seeing them each week regards Jeanette and Paul

[@greataussieodyssey]

ozzymozzie.com for the zapper; bin was from amazon. 😂 we can do a vid on the compost toilet but if wish we can also message directly to answer any questions and even send a quick personal vid. the compost toilet is easy to use, easy to clean & maintain and means no dump points ! 👍🏼 Thanks for the support 🙏🏻

@@greataussieodyssey thanks was just wondering if it’s easy to do if you are in a caravan park, I don’t think it’s going to be like ke travelling to a dump point and cleaning out the old toilet cassette

[@greataussieodyssey]

@@Trip-After-Work the #1 bucket just gets poured into toilet (if in a CP we take it when going for a shower). the #2 bucket can be emptied into a garbage bag and put in bin but best left to putting under a tree at a truck stop. it is just like animal manure with a very earthy smell. for 2 adults, normal use, we empty about 10-12 weeks

Hi Sam, Thank you for showing us around the inside of the van. Very nice. Can you please tell me where you got your dinner plate holders and what they are called. We have just picked up a Pop top van so trying to make everything fit and was very impressed with your dinner plate racks. Also where did you get your fold out bins, are they any good? Thanks Liz

[@greataussieodyssey]

The dinner plate holders are $6 stationary stands from KMART. The bins are from Amazon Online and have been really practical in a small space. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Hi Mike & Sam, great rig, did you consider a slide out east west bed at any stage planning? Also just watched bay of fires, stunning thank you, enjoy living the dream.

[@greataussieodyssey]

Hey Tony … thanks for the support 🙏🏻 slide-outs were never really in the planning as Sam locked onto 4 brands of choice that did not offer it anyways. we could easily return to Bay of Fires permanently 🤔

[@priscillajones8084]

Love the walk a round and walk though of your van. I have couple of questions …. I want to get the Enjo mop for the van. Do you just use water ? Or do you use some product to wash the van with ? Also did you have many warranty things to get fixed on the van ? Can you lock the van from the inside ? Ours has never locked from the inside. So hope they can fix this for us when it goes in. Thanks for the videos too. It’s great watching your journey.

[@greataussieodyssey]

Hey 👍🏼 yes just water with no additives for outside but inside we use the acidic cleaning water extracted from our Enagic Water Ioniser. A couple of minor warranty issues that were sorted quickly. We can’t lock van when both doors are together but can when only security door - which doesn’t concern us. Thanks for the support 🙏🏻

[@priscillajones8084]

Thanks for your reply. I went to buy the Enjo mop but didn’t know which fibre you use ??? There were a few to choose from. We also have Ozzie Mozzies. Brilliant little devices. Can I also ask… we have instantaneous gas hot water system and it’s played up from day 1. We get E1 code. Hubby has worked out how to get it up and running but inconvenient hoping it will ignite when in the shower. How has your hot water system been ?? .

[@greataussieodyssey]

@@priscillajones8084 we have discovered that the instantaneous hot water only works as such when attached to mains but then gas is on constant burn unless turn mains off when not in use. otherwise does take a few moments to get upto heat. it is great 👍🏼 enjo we use House Fibre for checker plate and Indoor Floor Fibre for everything else

[@terrymarshall4964]

great video, very informative. We are looking at getting our 1st van and Great Aussie are the front runners at the moment for us as it seems to tick all the boxes. May I ask if you are able to run the AC off the 2600w inverter?

[@greataussieodyssey]

We are able to run any appliance off the inverter but not all at once. Through usage we seem to be able to run a combination of 2-3 power draw appliances at anytime before tripping occurs. Naturally if hooked up to power then it can run all night, but if offgrid your dictated to by battery and we are about 2-3 hours on aircon before needing to turn off
