Oh wow, I didn’t realise it was that much of an increase. Good to know, thanks for the feedback 🙏

The only way is to get out there and do your own testing and research, as you can never be too sure.

Definitely a beautiful spot that’s for sure

Glad you enjoyed it mate, part of the enjoyment is seeing the dogs having a good time.

@@sandyexpeditions Yes I agree 🐶🐾🐾👍👍

Thankyou 🙌🙌

All part of the fun! 😅

Hey buddy, was in 4L, had the rear locker on in a couple of spots and engaged the fronts also on the last climb out 👌🏼

Be Jesus, you got your hearing aid set too high.......

Thanks for the feedback. Audio is something we're working on... stay tuned!!

Thanks for tuning in! Setting up a van is definitely a personalised experience! We recently visited the Sydney Supershow and must admit, loving the new designs coming out with the double doors (front and rear). Separates the spaces really well, especially if you have kids or are planning to in the future. Happy caravanning!

Was either a 79 or chopped 200 series to tow our size van and suit our needs. Wasn’t a fan of a Ram as they aren’t as practical on the tracks. But it’s not for everyone 😉

Rams are actually brilliant. Have more power for towing, far more comfortable than a 79, better turning circle, heaps better sounding V8, silky smooth auto. And they would be better on fuel than a 79. 79’s are a farmer vehicle, old in every way really, and the small v8 is underpowered. Better in the 200, but still short of a petrol v8

Thanks mate, have you been before ?

@@sandyexpeditions no never been, but I’d like too 👍

Thanks for the tips! A few places in the Vic High Country yet to be ticked off our bucket lists. More of Crooked River is definitely up there!

This is at the top of our wish-list too! 🧞‍♂️🤞

100%. Once you have them, they’re a non-negotiable!

Interesting thought! Our guess is you’d probably lose a little bit more the further the water has to travel through the pipes.

Thanks for watching. I’m sure you’d have a wealth of knowledge and we’d love to hear about your experience! 😊Hoping we’ll be able to hit the road full-time within the next 12 months, if not sooner🤞

That’s a great point! Lotus have a few different floor plans but for us, we haven’t experienced any issues. Our slide-out outdoor kitchen is on the same side but a fair distance away and the cassette hatch is lockable and well sealed so we haven’t noticed any stench.

I can see as a couple not as much as an issue but with kids think it would be an issue at some point. I am looking to buy and I like having an annex more than an awning and it would be like emptying into a room

Another great point, can see how that’s not ideal. We’ve actually thought about getting an annex but we’re yet to consider the impact of emptying the cassette. Currently we are emptying every few days to keep it fresh and as we do more touring and weekend trips rarely stay in the same spot for more than 2 nights so it hadn’t crossed our minds.

Thanks for watching, hope this video has helped in some way 😊

Thanks for tuning in! We hope so too 😊

Thanks for your feedback. Tare weight is just under 3 tonne from factory unloaded. Setting up a van is a personalised experience and different set-ups suit different trips. It requires compromise, especially with 3 dogs weighing over 100kg combined 😅 If we did add an additional water tank, we’d compromise in a different area to reduce the weight. Cheers

Thank you, we really appreciate your support and feedback!

Thank you! 😊

Great track, can’t wait to head down that way again… Craig’s Hut is still on the list!

@@sandyexpeditions yep, beautiful country. Pop Merijig, Jamison, Kevington and Woods Point on the list when you are over that way.

Glad you enjoyed it

Cheers mate - it’s definitely some steep country. The Cruiser performed exceptionally well, being twin locked definitely helps. When we aren’t towing we let the bags right down. We opted for a lighter spring set-up so we’re still able to enjoy the tracks without the van and also have the option to pump the bags up when towing, makes a difference!

Thanks Archie - indeed an unreal experience. Might have to plan a trip once you get your Cruiser!

@@sandyexpeditions most definitely mate 👍👍

Thank you, appreciate your support! 😊 Stay tuned for more to come!

Thank you 😊

You won’t be disappointed - one for the bucket list!

It was the powerlines track in Glasshouse Mountains QLD 🤦 Edit: Based on the title of the video, I'm going to guess the roll over occurred early on on the Billy Goat's Bluff Track?

@@intimatespearfisher Junction Spur Track, a few km south of Billy Goats.

It also features in this video by some one else coming down hill on a motorbike. czcams.com/video/m4yu8JKhAQI/video.html

Thanks for the support mate, can't wait!

Thank you 🤗

They are! If you haven’t been, you’re missing out!

Thanks for the support mate!

Doesn’t disappoint 😊

Thanks mate, was definitely a fun getaway.

Thanks for the support mate. We’re in the process of doing a Cruiser run down… just waiting on a few extras to add 🫢

@@sandyexpeditions no problem, look forward to it 😀

I love it also, however we do have a tray and canopy going on in the near future 😁

Thanks mate appreciate the support. I’m glad our video was able to inspire you for a future set-up! We’ll need to check out Sundown National Park! Sounds like a gem of a spot - thanks for the recommendation. Vic loves her organisation… Stay tuned for more tips! 😏

It’s an awesome spot, been there a few times myself so I was confident. In saying that, we didn’t buy an off-road van not to put it through its paces 😏 and it did exceptionally well.
