Love the van, and the new solar setup. But my favourite part of the episode is the quotes Kelan comes up with. For example " More excited than a dog with two tales "😂, and " stronger than a garlic milkshake". Your a bloody legend mate. We are hitting the road permanently in the next 6 months and we learn so much from your videos, thankyou.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

​@@SarahandKeelanTravels How do you get in touch with the Winner of your give away?

[@rogerclift2705]

Hey SKT! For me it’s a no brainer. Hands down, the best feature of this new van is the smiles, the joy, the un-adulterated pleasure that it brings to you both. The freedom that it gives you both to enjoy your best lives. 12v, showers, rims, all of that is really cool. But, as anyone who has an old, beat up 4WD will tell you, it’s the joy it brings to you. That, my friends, is the BEST feature of this van. ❤

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks mate and I couldn’t agree more Roger!! ❤️🤙🏽🍻

[@suedenby2370]

I love the fact that the batteries are outside now! Also like the starlink tip and your tip about the diesel fill being on the same side as the car fill! Im on countdown to getting our new van!

[@ianhayman637]

Awesome, run down, guys... My favourite part would have to be the suspension... interested to see how it goes.. oh yeah, and the warranty... can definitely vouch for that... cheers

[@lisahudson3531]

LOVE so much about your van but the very best thing is that it’s all Australian. We Aussies are so innovative and this needs to be supported no matter the cost. My father has lapped Oz at least 2.5 times and has so many stories to tell about the Chinese van carcasses he saw abandoned out there. We head off indefinitely in 3 years’ time so will be following you guys as we get organised. Thanks for your channel- so pleased I recently found you.

[@allycat2125]

I am a 65yo woman with a small fully-off road hybrid van that I take away in my own so I am envious of your awesome new big van. It looks beautiful but my favourite feature has to be the amazing 12v system. I can't believe how much solar you have! PS: I love it that you maintain your integrity and are honest about not endorsing products you haven't used. I rely on the expertise of others and purchased some iTech products because of your endorsement and have not been disappointed.

[@intimatespearfisher]

As a 40 year old dad who takes two kids camp with a box trailer and swags fairly often, I envy your small hybrid caravan lol

[@ronluthe1552]

That suspension looks indestructible. 👍 And I love the development of the no replacement bearings.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

no more packing bearings!!

[@robertwilson1827]

WoW... man of detail! Good pick up!

[@Seriously1969]

It’s a game changer and it’s your home. Enjoy the journey and thank you for taking us on this journey with you.

[@michaelfredericks6404]

Hey SKT! You can't even imagine how thrilled I am about this new van! It's simply mind-blowing! The best feature, hands down, is the pure joy, the happiness, and the sheer excitement it brings both of us. Not to mention the freedom it offers to live our best lives to the fullest! Sure, the 12v, showers, and rims are cool, but let me tell you, as someone who's been through the ups and downs of owning an old, beat-up 4WD, nothing compares to the unparalleled joy that this van brings! It's the BEST feature of this van, my friend! Are you as excited as I am?.

[@guitarv5]

Hey you guys, love it. repairing an old 91 coleman Newport and me and my girl putting in a 12v solar system . Starting off with 200watts into 2 12v 210amph batteries.. Not gonna be the end system but its a start, and were gonna travel out west where we never been.. Cant wait to get going.!!!!!

[@suedenby2370]

I love the fact that the batteries are outside now! Also like the starlink tip and your tip about the diesel fill being on the same side as the car fill! Im on countdown to getting our new van!

[@suedenby2370]

And the new suspension! We are getting that too! Looking forward to hearing your views on it

[@robbiemccleery8098]

WOW, what a van. Congratulations and i'm sure you will have many awesome adventures in this new setup. I love your honesty and how transparent you both are about everything you share on your channel (be it experiences with products, places or people). Your centent is so enjoyable to watch and even though i'm not a caravan person myself (i own a camper trailer), watching your walk through and guide videos are still very enjoyable to watch as you share so much insight in to everything (filler caps on the same side, manual filler points on airbags, keeping things in certain places to avoid running around finding things at setup/pack-up). The new suspension is next level impressive and i'm really looking forward to see how the testing goes, i'm Keelan will have more than a few 'Full Send' moments to put it's through its paces. The 12V setup is also just as impressive and to be able to still charge while running an aircon is almost unbelievable. I'm sure Keelan would have loved to design his own system for this van, the fact you are running a factory recommended and designed system is awesome. It's a transparency thing, i as a customer could have the same if i bought an Urban Van (and believe me, if my taste ever changes, they are probably the only one i'll be looking at). My favourite new thing in this new van is the 12V control panel in your doorway. Having all that information at your fingertips is a game changer, our camper has the redarc version and it allows for such enjoyable and comfortable trips knowing whats going on at all times. Would love to see a collab video in the future with F2F Keep on keeping on, and i'll keep sharing your channel and content with everyone i know that enjoys the same, Safe travels SKT

[@mikedew380]

Great review of your new caravan, and i like all the skid plates protecting the water and grey tanks. Enjoying watching you both. Take care.

[@pieterscott792]

Hi Sarah and Keelan, great run down on your new Van. You have an amazing solar array there to support your batteries. Love the layout and your set up. Enjoy your travels and stay safe. Cheers Pieter.

[@tooleman60]

Hey Sarah and Keelan. My favourite part of the van, which is not easy to pin down, has to be the wonderful open space in the van. All that light is wonderful. Looking forward to all the adventures it brings

[@rayforbutt1100]

Love the van. Love you guys. You are so down to earth and natural. Keelan you crack me up and Sarah you are just the cutest little Poppet. Keep up the great work guys 🩵🩷

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks mate glad you enjoy the videos!!

[@followmetourswithainsandte9574]

What an epic van, stylist look and all the comforts of van life. Looking forward to your future travels. See yas on the road Legends.

[@user-uu8in1gp2o]

Awesome video, guys! Thanks to you guys, we take delivery of our new Urban 20' X-Treme van as we researched through watching your R&D. We are about to head off on a 12mth lap & will be airing downs heaps, so your give away wld make life easier 😊

[@terry2833]

Hi Guys great to see you two again, man as soon as you said Tare weight standard 2850kg's and 19'6 Mmmm thats heavy I do like that they have finally woke up and now using Victorn. The only thing I would have specified was to have the new Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC X 2 chargers.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks for watching mate! Xtreme model is there most Specced from standard mode (meaning 90% of extra options are standard) Xterrains are lighter again

[@A-contented-Aussie-life]

You ask us to comment on our favourite part of the caravan. I can't just pick one. I have to say with us just starting out. Finding a spot for hubbies fishing rods has been challenging. That side hatch is perfect for rods. Definitely keeping that in mind for when we build our new one. I am going to order that draw for the side tunnel. I think it seems like a perfect solution. The laundry nook, hidden and well planned is up there for space saving and tidiness. I have been trying to talk hubby into a composting toilet and the biggest drawback has always been seeing the Urine bottle and accidently overfilling. This new unit is small, stylish and much more cleaner looking. The extra-large windows in the living area and then split windows in the sleeping area seem like a wonderful idea. I am a huge fan of those tables, especially being able to bring up higher. With bench space being at a premium it instantly becomes one long bench to help with prepping. I could keep going on and I haven't even really touched on the outside stuff... I figured plenty of big burly men that like Pussycat songs would help you out there hahaha. Stunning new home on wheels, you guys have done an amazing job.

[@warrenbartsch8340]

The suspension looks great. Would love that in our van. We have springs in our Urban which was great at the time. Now it's old school🤦😄

[@ericvanderwacht2210]

Thanks again for being real with no bull. Looks like a great company Urban. Great video update of your new van👍

[@shanebadman6727]

Hello, it is hard for me to choose the best part of your new van when it is so good in every way. I like the idea of have everything close on the outside to set up the van but i guess my favorite part is the technology inclusions to do with the battery, charging and solar system. The ability to camp with all the luxuries of home is the way of the future. To be totally self sufficient on batteries to run air conditioning in the heat of Australia is fantastic. I love watching your channel, you guys are great, and down to earth. Keep entertaining us please!!

[@Stuart66]

Gotta love the suspension upgrade. It will save a lot of damage to the van over the rough stuff 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bevandrews6911]

Great vid guys. The best feature about this van is by far the suspension can’t wait to see it perform over time! Cheers!!

[@AidanCran]

Love it guys, epic build and setup. 😍 I hope to be able to get something similar in afew years for a family with 2 kids.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks legend!! Cheers for watching and supporting! Go for it mate that’s all I’ll say!! You won’t regret it!

[@marita486]

G'day Guy's, well done you two. To be able to make life happen and be able to do you. Yr honest no BS approach is refreshing. As someone that is rather vertically challenged I love that Keith 2.0 has the set-up and the room in thing 🎉

[@bitminerbob6731]

Looks incredible. Love the suspension system. Just had the front and back suspension upgraded on my Ducato camper van and it made the world of difference. Glad to see you have a decent size battery bank now too. ;D

[@MagnumJack]

6 minutes in so far!! what a fantastic van, i did watch the build videos...love it.....

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks legend!!

[@lukehutchinson6754]

I love the look and it has the strength to last. Cheers for the walk through and I look forward to the 12V walk through with figures on A/C run time and general daily power averages. Cheers 🍻

[@douglaslamb8709]

Congrats on the new van 👌 Love the look of the new suspenion❤ will be good to see how it all goes safe travels👍😇🤩

[@rjg73]

Hi Sarah and Keelan Van is 🔥 🔥 hot as, game changer with the Terra Glide, will get plenty of use with the TPMS getting off road to really enjoy where you haven’t been before not to mention the extra time for frothies not having to get dirty doing bearings. Great inspiring Van for others in the future. Well done team.

[@Peil_lc200]

Bad ass van guys. The suspension is my favourite part. It looks like it will perform unreal on the rough stuff. A close second is the huge window in the kitchen. Congrats & enjoy.

[@heftymerv]

awesome vid again, my wife likes the fridge and I think that new suspension is the end all of end alls.. Urban have gone above and beyond in these new vans.... great work

[@hoody6954]

Loved that suspension! Fkn wow!

[@paullubcke8554]

Glad you kept to a van you can still basically take anywhere. Is probably on the big side over a camper but looks very good 👍

[@maxwhiting7954]

The strength of the ali frame construction🤩🤩

[@nuttyboy5419]

Love the power management system 🙌

[@nathanhumphries2163]

The loooong kitchen window. Best way to not miss out on the view while prepping a meal.

[@user-rh2tf5mj8d]

The new suspension looks to be a game changer all the rest still looks good thanks guys

[@sharongreaves759]

Love your new van ❤ Love how open and spacious it looks inside. Beautiful finishes Sarah, you do a great job with minimal additions but great effects ❤ I WANT AN URBAN VAN!!

[@Stevensue7175]

Just try and wipe that smile off Keelan's face.. outstanding van guys love it. Enjoy

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

haha good luck doing that! thanks for watching legend

[@user-rw7qy9ql1o]

Hello Sarah and Keelan, love the layout but the power system impressed me the most as it makes your new caravan a truly off grid and off road adventure.

[@susanmccusker5931]

Love the look of the new caravan. The colours are really nice as is the layout. The new technology is really cool

[@ShaneLongman]

Hey there SKT. Awesome segment I just watched. That Urban van is the best. The integrity and the info, but importantly, the fun you give. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@user-kj9px6iy3d]

So hard to choose just one thing. Great job guys it’s a credit to both. Designed a van that’s user friendly. Do love the wheels on the van . They look great and are super tuff . Safe travels ❤

[@stuobrien3132]

Susprension sounds like the go. The wheels look really close to each other. Love the bearing idea. Heads up with the fridge, just fitted Trerford one to mine van after removing 3way, have had the freezer open 3 times on very mild dirt road leaving icecubes to melt on the floor. Have now been taping shut for time being.

[@neddya5311]

Best part about the van is the van as a whole, everything there’s nothing to fault and everything seems perfect, what more can you say. Keen to see the new suspension set up but

[@paulsmit8147]

Just wow, that's one awesome camper...... With all those upgrades you can now do some serious off grid camping. Thanks for the share 🤙👍

[@pasveritas1872]

Can't wait to hear how the suspension performs Keelan. Wicked epic home Sure is next level 👍 Can't wait to see the adventures it can take you on 😍

[@roccomarafioti9016]

Fantastic van well done I love the extra battery power for all off road and remote area you go too have been following the build great van

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks mate! cheers for following and supporting us!

[@sharynhillton8193]

Awesome tour of your amazing van. Have to say that suspension looks brilliant! Look forward to all your vids ❤

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

What we love is knowing it will not be a bitumen beauty 😂 The Terraglide looks interesting especially the use of effectively sway bars. Bit wow what an awesome Van Shane it’s too heavy for our Gladiator. Can’t wait for you to head off road and get rowdy with it 🤙

[@sharonavis6339]

My favourite part of the video is your open & honest candor about your relationship with Urban. The caravan advancement look great too, I’m a Vacationer customer & know they work closely with Urban developing great caravan for us the customer 😊

[@RPCaravan-Bella]

New van looks great. Looking forward to hearing how well the new suspension works on the van. Enjoy!!

[@jeffrotman8754]

We have a 2022 20' XTreme which is an awesome caravan so it is great to see the evolution of a great product. The Terra-Glide system looks to be a game changer so will be interested to see how it goes. The other main difference which I really like is chassis coating. It looks great and durable and certainly better looking than the galvanized chassis as with ours. Plus the weight saving concept. Look forward to your 2024 adventures and the positive attitude you both have, so keep up the great work guys!!! 😀😀👋👋

[@gavinoliphant1321]

Bloody nice van guys. Suspension looks interesting.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

thanks legend!! yeah thats what I thought too haha

[@nigelbrowne7009]

Hey guys love the new van , the larger kitchen window is just awesome and i love the wanky led strip lights , I installed some in my old van after seeing them on an Urban van at a caravan show

[@user-pk2vs8rz7n]

Great video thank you. Our favourite part of the new van is the suspension, so interested to see how it goes on your travels. Travel safe 😊

[@Goose_JB74]

Hey there, New Rigs Amazing, top class build. Tell me did you ever need a second spare for your rig over the last couple of years touring ?

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks mate!! Narh we didn’t aye, touch wood and I know you should never say this but we havnt had one flat tyre on our van ever haha

[@rochfoster]

Best part of the van is its Australian made fully tig welded solid construction , perfect van for all conditions , the is add as you please

[@jeanettebosustow4283]

Amazing caravan. Love the suspension and 12v system. A lot of thought has gone into the build. 😊

[@MyLittleFarmhouse]

Wow, that suspension looks very impressive as well as all that power ⚡️😍👍🏽 I think you’s have sold me on Urban. I’m down sizing my farm this year and will be taking off on my own lap next year👍🏽 I truly love your No Bullsh!t about it honesty 💕 Looking forward to watching how it all performs this year 👍🏽

[@damiandehaan2968]

Hey SKT the new van looks awesome also love the look of the new suspension, very impressed with the testing video of how stable the chassis of the van was 🤩🤩. I love the Victron gear I have it in my van Keep up your good work.

[@Kim-qx8np]

Hey guys! Love the back end design of the caravan and of course your 12v system.

[@bitminerbob6731]

One upgrade I suggest is flat mounting your Starlink to the roof. It's great just to flick on a switch for the Starlink to be up and running. Saves storage space too where you would have had your Starkink stored.

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Thanks mate appreciate that tip!!

[@user-sl6vs4pm6j]

Gotta love that suspension. You could go anywhere with that setup! Would love to have that much battery power too. What a van :)

[@jorggrozinger921]

Best feature of this van looks to be the suspension. The proof will be in the testing and I’m sure you’ll have fun with that. Enjoy.

[@petersmith9669]

Hey Guys, the best features are the new memories, the adventures and the videos that will be coming out. Looking forward to seeing them. I bought my first ever camper trailer two years ago and love the memories and adventures I am creating due to you guys.

Love the shower and the flat windows as well. I want this van!!!

Im about to fit the Multiples II 12/3000 inverter in my Van, I have the Enerdrive 2600w in the car. The Multiples is 12v, 3000VA - 120Amp charger, the 3000VA = 2400w, not 3000w. I thought it was 3000 watt also until I looked into it a bit more but they are capable over going over for short periods. Still one of the best inverters / systems on the market, the Victron gear is fantastic.

[@robdog6130]

What a beast of a van 👍 love the no replacement bearing guys that’s a game changer right there 🇦🇺👌

[@philandclarepatch6262]

I subscribed over a year ago and have so enjoyed bring a part of where you've been and how you've felt about life in a van!
