[@DieselDave]

Wonderful. That van seems perfect for you guys. Set up the under awning clothes line too for the washing. Cheers, dd

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers mate done a whole heap of trips in it now and absolutely love it. We have one of the spinifex pop up clothes lines that seems to work well will look at the awning ones. Cheers for the recommendation

[@mikemorgan4670]

Wow! Quite the incredible unit. You are going to be able to create some awesome adventures and memories with your family. Great rundown Dave.

[@4x4brothers]

Thanks Mike, really going to make those family trips a breeze now having a home on wheels. We are absolutely stoked with how the build came together.

[@paulgriggs3851]

Awesome mate, looking forward to your adventures. Another great video keep up the good work.

Thanks mate, hanging to get some trips under the belt in this

Bro thx for a great upload.

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers mate. We were sitting around camp and thought could be a helpful video. 🤝

Looks mint

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers mate, really happy with it. Its been faultless

[@TotalToolsAustralia]

Spot on😎 great family van

[@4x4brothers]

Thats what its all about. Going to make it heaps easier trips with the whole clan and now a empty car 😆

[@baumie461]

As a new caravan owner (Legand Caravan) with a Y62, I'll look forward to ya caravan videos mate.....I got a shock when I weighed mine when loaded with the car. Watch ya GCM 👍

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers mate look to adding a few different elements to the channel with the van. Went over a weigh bridge on the 1st trip, we had a little wiggle room with gcm not a heap though so definitely need to not over pack. That was part of our wanting to stay under 20ft too was weights. Definitely not enough allowances in cars for their advertised towing

[@MartyPhil]

Great van guys ! Can’t wait for the new adventures. I wish the n70 hilux had abit more tow capacity- I’ve been looking into same setup but a small hybrid or camper trailer will be the go for my set up 🛻

[@4x4brothers]

Thanks mate, we really want to get into a few more longer family trips and figured for us it's the best set-up. Nice little 16 footer would be perfect behind the lux

[@MartyPhil]

@@4x4brothers cheers mate. I’ll have abit more of a research. Like you said with your van the build quality unbelievable no ply joins, plumbing to the side it’s the little things that make a huge difference!

[@4x4brothers]

@@MartyPhil definitely take your time choosing and weigh it all up. We went well over our initial budget but we wanted this to be a van we keep for many years and figured it was worth it. Good luck with the sleepless nights 😆

[@awesometoursnz]

Look forward to seeing your adventures. Where is your van built?

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers mate got a few local trips planned over the next few months b4 we venture a little further. It's made here in Campbellfield

[@darrenrichardson6936]

Nice, looking for a new van for us. Upgrade from our outback expanda to something like that just have to save up$$🇦🇺🔥🍻

[@4x4brothers]

How come you want to upgrade the expanda? Easier setup?

[@darrenrichardson6936]

@@4x4brothers I loved the expanda and it was easy setup, but didn’t have a toilet or shower and wife wants a fully setup van now, getting older. We traveled many places around Oz on hwy and also lots of dirt roads including Oodnadatta track and it went well

hi, what's the tare weight please, these look great

[@4x4brothers]

They are a fantastic van mate, this one came in at 2860kg tare

[@lurge61]

Do you think vacationer is better than a titanium? Can you customise it

[@4x4brothers]

@@lurge61 I think a lot comes down to personal preference but I did look at them and have since some of the newer ones and I’m still happy as Larry with this. And definitely can customise things

[@michaeldiener8148]

How wide is the main bed? What does it weigh? Ball weight?

[@4x4brothers]

1380 wide going by the plans mate I'd have to double check van to confirm if you need. Weighed 2860 with 260 ball weight

[@adamrowell1718]

What's the Tare weight please mate?

[@4x4brothers]

2.8T mate

[@travisc7867]

Can I ask why 2x25 amp DCDc chargers, and how effective running 2.

[@4x4brothers]

In the initial build it was 1 40a dcdc charger but projecta had some issues with that unit so swapped it for 2 x 25a so effectively 50a Gives a bit of a back up this way if one was to ever fail I guess too this way

[@travisc7867]

@@4x4brothers thanks we have just ordered RR 18.6 and have 600 w of solar and was concerned about just having a 25 amp dcdc and not utilising all that solar, will enquire about putting in a second one. Thanks enjoy your travels.

[@4x4brothers]

@@travisc7867 solar will be not running through your dcdc mate it will be through your bms that should have your solar controler the dcdc will be just for when driving

[@trickymon]

Why is it no one on you tube ever mentions the number one thing about any review or as you call it walk around . The price of the item ? For 99% it’s very important part . Makes me very sceptical that it’s a sponsored product one again

[@4x4brothers]

Price is a hard one I guess to mention as it's ever changing this van when I purchased it was 100k this van now with all the price rises that have happened is probably 120+ k Price will change obviously too depending on options you want to include etc so even if it was a free van it still showcases the build they do and what inclusions and finish of the van so Price I think would be irrelevant. What's your thoughts?

[@trickymon]

@@4x4brothers did you consider Kedron? Nice but very expensive and super reliable off road . I have had two tvans and in a similar situation to you as don’t want canvas anymore due to as you mentioned weather conditions.

[@4x4brothers]

@@trickymon tvans are amazing I did look at them and was pretty sold back when looking at more camper trailer style. Kedrons and exceptional vans they are out of my price range though and fairly heavy so would have been over on my weights
