For the money this unit is spot on, has all you need to keep the wife happy and comfy and it is not too big to pull around, it really is a near-perfect setup. And great video by the way.
What an awesome camping weapon and review. Would rather fold down bunks or something instead of all the cupboards. You have your priorities right, can't miss the cricket!
Thanks for this video, we pick ours up next week, and I could not find a video or anything to let me know about the workings. Happy travel's, hope you make more video's. Cheers.
I'm picking this exact one up on Wednesday - 2017 model they only used once - still smells brand new - I can't wait - I'm amazed the bed is a KING size and the shower room is huge compared to some bigger vans - a great couples van - we're ready for some getaways -
Property Network Lockyer thank you! Yes I did forget to video the bed folding. Can be a little awkward but once you’ve done it a few times it’s pretty easy. The table does get used time to time but I could do without it.
Hey mate, Any problems you have found? Saw another vid and the guy has had so many dramas as soon as he took it off road. Any further would be mint. Thanks mate.
Hey mate, great vid. Looking at the Parkes 15 for my family. How have you found the van? Any dramas? Looks exactly what I need and hopefully reliable off-road. Would love to get away from the jayco train. Any info would be great. Cheers Scotty
Scott Terry hey mate, I’ve had no real dramas with it. Dust seal at the back fold out section was sort of an issue but I have added some foam strips to it all and just got back from a trip away with not dust 👌🏻 I’ve taken it down some rough tracks and it’s done them all so far. I’m very happy with mine 👍🏼
Hey mate how does she go off road? I’m looking at a 15.. gig a small family .. we want to go around aus in it.. starting with Kimberley, NT and the cape.. recon she is up for it?
Jack Mclaren mine has no solar on the roof. Newer models come with 2 panels fixed on top. I use 200w panels for mine and it’s more than enough to keep batteries full.
Looks like another made in china knockoff trailer. EZtrail is exactly like the Austrack Tanami, same trailer/caravan, different name, same China as the country of manufacture. Only Austrack assembles in Australia. why pay your enemy to make your products?
Yea mate you are right. There is a bunch of them that are all but identical, apart from a few minor differences. But they have their place. Not everyone can afford to buy a full Australian made van with the same features as something like this can provide.

"Too much" These things keep getting better and better. Amazing what they can engineer into smaller and smaller spaces.
That’s a decent video showing the ins and outs of the Parkes 13 .. Cheers thanks for sharing 👍🍻🇦🇺
Awesome and compact caravan, can’t wait till I pick mine up in the new year. Thanks for the walk around.
Love it, awesome video mate especially for the people like me looking for a hybrid will definitely keep this in mind thanks for the tour 🤘👌👌👍👍👍👍

Cool run down Josh. Looking forwards to a wheel at some stage... 👏👍😎

Great video mate, nice setup you've got there :) Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland) :)
Dons Shed thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Thanks for video. Would love to see where you have taken the Parkes and how it handle the conditions.
Chris Smith hey mate. Follow me on Instagram @xplore_aus
Will help keep you up to date on where I take the van 👌🏻
Great video, you have done really well. One thing you did not show the bed folding. Also like the commnet about the table, not worth having ???
Property Network Lockyer thank you!

Hey Josh, great video, thanks. What is the total weight and what are you towing it with. How did your tow vehicle perform with the weight?
Would like to know a year on if your still happy with the van ? Have you had any problems or breakdown s?
looks great mate!! a bloke at work just got the parkes 15 but I saw yours and it look great mate!!
How does the mattress fold up/fit when the back isn't extended out.
Mate can you do a video on the annex just bought a second hand one but nothing on you tube for a demo on putting up ?
Hi Josh, just bought a secondhand parkes 13 what do you do to charge the batteries by 240 my charger keeps running
Hey mate,
Any problems you have found? Saw another vid and the guy has had so many dramas as soon as he took it off road. Any further would be mint.
Thanks mate.

Nice but why couldn’t you see how how to put the awning up
Hey mate how does she go off road? I’m looking at a 15.. gig a small family .. we want to go around aus in it.. starting with Kimberley, NT and the cape.. recon she is up for it?
What do they toe like mate
I would love a video on how the annex is put up...I'm beginning to think it's not possible to erect it
John Everett haha it is possible mate. Not worth it for only a night or 2 stay but I have set it up on my own in about 30 minutes
I dont like where you have attached the safety wire, if the shackle fails it wont operate the brakes, put it around the tow bracket on the vehicle.
🙃
Thanks for the video. Have you had any issues similar to the TheOffroadTradies?
Bonaparte Findsya never had any issues mate
Have you had any problems with the Parkes 15
Great van mate, how much solar power does it have on the roof?
Jack Mclaren mine has no solar on the roof. Newer models come with 2 panels fixed on top. I use 200w panels for mine and it’s more than enough to keep batteries full.
gunna get one
Got any off road footage?
