You Won't Believe What We Found Inside! - The ORCA 15 Hybrid Off-road Caravan. IN DEPTH REVIEW

[@ataxpayer723]

QUESTION. Why cant all of the external locks have a master/shared key?

[@idig4udetecting73]

Just a tip those orange/amber lights down side on vans are not driving lights they're clearance lights 👍

[@ataxpayer723]

Be sure to check that the wheel bearings have been correctly tightened causing the bearing to overheat and fail, and that the end of the cotter pin does not interfere with the actual wheel bearing,

The keys 😂😢

May be like i keep telling campertrailer manufaturers look up "1 Key caravans" they specialize in one key for all locks and they have over 300 combinations of keys compare to the 30 keys normaly used across van units. This is similar to MDC, Austrack, Ezytrak hybrid campers, i realy dont see anything special about this particular van than what is offered by the formentioned manufacturers... So where is the shower curtain rail? OH thats good pull the toilet cartrage out and dump all the shit over your self....what happened to the cap? Probing rod....realy, that the awrning manual winder.... You dont even know how to drop the stabalizer legs to show how to use the wind down brace bar.. 300 watt solar blanket type panels to charge 300 Ahr AGM most manufactures are using Lithium these days.. Those spaces in the ensuite have no value at all, nothing going to stay in them when van in motion. Bunk bed,... how is some one suppose to climb up that so called ladder? The frame work what do you call it....it has some textured paint on it...seriously guys do your research befor doing a review of someones product. All good and tidy under here, no obvious issues to report there.....of cause not its a brand spanking new campervan that you havent even used..... Silicone sealant....realy this is not what customers want to hear. You guys are realy stuffing this whole review up...this is not a good review for the manufacturer.........Its a laugh.

A review like this is problematic when you both keep making statements as fact, “it’s really tough”, it will “withstand the rigours of the outdoors” etc without a clue whether that’s true or not. Obviously the key ring was stupid but you kept saying how organised they were, imagine spending minutes sorting through that lot every time you wanted something locked. With all the extravagant claims about how well it is finished off and the amazing attention to detail did you once comment on the quality of the welds on the draw bar? They are terrible, the welder team took no care and tried to tidy up the mess with an angle grinder later. This may not compromise the strength of the van but this is evidence of awful attention to detail. How did that boot get water in it? A little water was dismissed as being acceptable, it is not acceptable, a few days of drizzle or tropical rain and all the tools will rust, mould will grow on everything. To be honest I reckon that lid was left up when it rained, it’s hard to see how rain could have entered. No mention of the rear van tow hitch point between the recovery rings. This is a great addition and should have been mentioned. With dual cook tops it is disappointing to only have one fridge outside. We are out bush now and cooking inside and it’s cold. Every cup of tea, breakfast, lunch and dinner items means going out into the wet cold to open the hatch and slide the fridge out and repeat to put food away, what a pain. Perhaps they could have a way of accessing the single fridge from both out and within. Your rant about how fantastic the tyres were was disappointing as the Chinese are known for crap tyres and saying they’re great without having a clue based solely on aesthetics is a disservice to a competent review. Tyres are good because of the carcass and rubber composition not looks. It was not mentioned what size and whether they were LT or not. What is the composition of the wall panels? Typically Chinese vans are chip board, they swell and disintegrate when wet. If they’re a closed cell foam sandwich core then that would be great to know. How long is the warranty? What is covered in the warranty?

wow! awesome feedback, thanks for taking the time to write this. We are certainly still learning how to make a perfect caravan review video! At the moment our videos are more like "first impressions" & less like "detailed product reviews" that we aspire to create. We will definitely do more research and provide more factual information during review videos in the future. We also hope to be able to get test caravans for more than a few hours so we can do more real world testing/driving to see if the products we test are actually "durable" or not. Thanks again for watching & providing feedback.
