Now that's a great setup. Lotus vans have been my choice for a long time and just love the Y62, you are making me very jealous there. If and when you do the west coast, must drop into Exmouth, love to catch up and check out your rig. Enjoy your travels, I'm sure you are.

Is the TARE standard for this size caravan? I have a Triton so am restricted to a max of 3T (3.1T). Is there something that is near that size with a lower TARE ?

[@Travellingcampers]

Na mate we added quite a few extras, each van is usually different, a standard 17'6 is usually around the 2.5 2.6 tonne tare, you have the 16'9 single axles too which are lighter. Go on Freestyle RV website if you like mate there is a tonne of info on there. Cheers!

Great video & van set-up with a lot of planning & thought into all the mod's & design including the suspension & timber rack on the back that a lot of people don't have but makes a big difference when & where you can have an open fire & need timber! Noticed your camp chair's looked awesome too! Could you forward some details if possible? Have been looking for some sturdy chairs that are comfortable & can handle a little more weight! Many thanks & safe travels enjoying your new rig & van!

Hi guys is it too early to compare your new dust reduction system compared to system in last van, interested to see what is better on the gravel dust. Thanks andrew

[@Travellingcampers]

Hey mate! We haven’t done as extreme dust with the carafan as we had with the DRS yet, but so far mate I am definitely going to say the Carafan is a better option! So far even our shiny sections haven’t had a bit of dust or fluff from floating around in the van and we haven’t covered any vents up yet! Definitely pricey but worth it so my in my opinion!

[@waynejeffers8711]

Take my word for it after having vans for over 15 years your are over in the ball weight. Go over a weight bridge with full tanks and see where you stand.

[@Travellingcampers]

No mate, the van was made knowing we were putting a 100kg bike on the front, 200kg ball weight, with the bike and water fully loaded etc it would of only added 50-70kg if that. Well under our weights mate but thank you for your concern.

[@jockwar]

That’s what I was thinking 🤔 😎

[@trackingaboutaus3013]

Vans nowadays are a hell of a lot better designed when it comes to weight distribution. Being 17’6 twin axle it would be very well balanced. As long as the tow car can handle it you’re better off with more on the ball then less anyway.

Mate mines the same as yours except for a long range tank, and I'm over, just. But that's without towing anything.

Out of interest what's the towball weight with the ktm on?

I’m definitely under mate, full tank I am prob just over, but I’m not worried I’m not doing a long range tank to add more weight then 7 grand for a gvm upgrade. I haven’t weighed it sorry mate!

@@baumie461 Mines overweight and I tow a Patriot Campers X1!! Just under 200kg ball weight. No rear bar, no long range tank. Very basic drawer system that’s not hugely loaded and 75L fridge in the back. Sliders, flat rack for awning solar and trax only and TJM front bar, that’s got to go though.
