- In this video we take a tour of the inside of our Network RV - Terrain Tuff triple bunk offroad van.
See what we have done to make it our own and what we added from the factory to make it easier to house a family of 5 travelling full time.
Keep an eye out for our external walk around of the van coming soon.

Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. We picked up some great storage tips. We picked up our Network RV 19’6” last month, can’t wait to get on the road in Oct…restrictions permitting 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thanks Peter, I'm sure everyone in lockdown is chomping at the bit to get out and explore 🏕
I own a Network Terrain Tuff 19’6 van and believe they are a great van with a strong chassis and a tuff alloy composite skin.
The cupboards and kitchen build is very strong and fully sealed, so that’s a plus. The full sized shower is fantastic and the swivel door beats those stupid sliding doors.
Worth a look!
@@robertjohnston3658 couldn't agree more, we had very minimal trouble with ours and we put at least 50-60k on it during our travels 💪💪
Just thought I would let you know, we have the same washing machine. When I have been parked next to a running clean river, I have actually bucketed water into the machine and using the generator been able to wash clothes. You just have to keep an eye on it and when the wash cycle finishes , stop machine and bucket in clean water for your rinse. The advantage of a Top Loader.
Wow, that is such a great idea 👌👌
The van looks awesome inside, looking forward to the outside tour. Some great storage ideas we also love the Fusion-Loc stuff as well.
Thabks mate, we love the fusion loc but apparently it may damage the walls??? Will have to find out if we pull them off 🤪
Our van was made by the same factory, we installed Fusion Loc in the bathroom then realised later that we couldn’t open our overhead cupboard completely so after a few months we took it off and moved the rail else where, didn’t damage the wall at all.
Great walk through video guys. Awesome tips 👏🏻
Thanks for that Andrew 👌🍻
nice guys, we are looking forward to getting our caravan in the next month or so, Network but Nextgen which I think is the same... Looking forward to some awesome adventures.
Awesome stuff, you will love it 👌👌😎😎
Great walk through guys, and well set up.
Thanks for that mate ;)
Hey guys, I love the tips and tricks. Is it possible to tell me what the AV plugs at the TV are for?😊
Cheers mate, they are to hook the TV up to the van's audio system ;)
Thanks guys, great detailed video. 👍
No worries mate ;)
Great video, very informative. We’re coming into retirement : caravanning ahead of us & this is very helpful info. Just looking into what van to buy! Thanku both
No dramas at all, maybe a triple bunk is not up your alley 🤣🤣 but they do offer a lot of smaller and more couple friendly vans ;) happy travels 🍻
Hi. Great video. We meet with our dealer on Thursday to decide on colours (think we will copy your interior).
Thanks for the info on the battery set up.
Is your fridge 3 way or compressor?
Thanks again great video.
Thanks Matt, we love our colours too :) our fridge is the compressor fridge, we have never had a 3 way fridge before, seems like a lot of changing things over all the time and our 12v one has worked flawlessly 👌
Thanks for the info . We have a Network RV on order and found your video very informative. Since watching your video we have made many changes to our van. Lol . Can I ask how have you found the front window in the van ? Any problems ? . Keep the videos coming . Cheers
All good mate, happy to help 👌 we love our front window, allows a nice flow through of breeze and also to see some of the awesome spots we go to.... would definitely not go without it 😎😎🍻🍻
fantastic look through where did u get ur doona cover from ? ❤️
Thanks for that, we got it from Pillow Talk ;)
Thanks so much for the tour. Some great ideas! Just interested where you put the coffee machine and toaster when you travel? Do you pack them up or try to secure them on the bench?
Thanks Belinda, we put the coffee machine in the cupboard where the bin is (bin is emptied and just put on the floor under the table) and the toaster fits perfectly in the sink, wrapped up in the tea towels ;)
Awesome walk through guys! We're yet to get a caravan, hopefully order one next week at the Brisbane show. If there was one thing you would change about your caravan or one mod you would opt for during the build, what would it be?
Thanks for that, good luck with your van :) I would go lithium if we did it again ... in saying that our setup is fine for what we want (maybe get a dc/dc charger installed in the van) but we do have to monitor it a fair bit while off-grid... a decent lithium/solar setup would mean less keeping and eye on things ;)
Go with Lithium upgrades for sure if you plan to remote camp and stay out of caravan parks.
But consider doing that after purchase using an experienced caravan electrical contractor, as it will be a better system for your money. But these systems are not cheap and only use branded quality products not cheap Chinese crap, as you can’t afford to risk an electrical fire!
Thanks very helpful.
We are vetting a 19.6 Network RV
What was the model of inverter that you supplied for installation?
Thanks heap
No worries mate, it was an enerdeive 2000w inverter with a/c switch....
Thanks for the run trough. Do you know what DC/DC charger it uses when plugged into CAR ? And the Brand of the 240V Charger? Any issues with the solar long term?
hey mate, just another video on our lithium install now andthat covers a bit more. Ac charger is just a generic charger and the DcDc charger we have put in our van in the Invtervolt 25amp one :)
only need one fan if it gets hot both crawl on the one side of the bed
Ha ha, lucky it is on my side ;)
Hi we just picked our colours for our network rv 21.6 rear club and have copied yours. Can you remember the floor colour that you choose was it swan dark grey?
Hey Matt, yes it was Swan dark grey ;) be getting exciting now being that close 👌👌🍻🍻
What is the brand of the pressure fan? Did you install it yourself?
I don’t like to one they put in my van. It’s operates while driving and the system sucks air turning and blowing air in the van but it also sucks bugs. I have to clean bugs on my bed anytime I travel. I need to change it.
It is an ARL pressure fan, very similar to carafan but a bit cheaper. It has a filter on the outside so that would definitely stop the bugs coming in. It is also hooked up to a switch so we can turn it on and off when on dusty roads.... it was installed during the build but I'm sure retro fitting it to tour van shouldn't be an issue.
Great video. Did you have the inverter and extra battery installed by Network or a different sparky after you took delivery?
Thanks for the Ben, we had the inverter installed (But we bought it and had it delivered to the factory) during the build in which they incorporated the A/C switch style inverter. This makes all of the power points live during use of the inverter instead of only 1 dedicated GPO. The battery we installed ourselves after pickup as we had a near new one after converting our Landcruiser to Lithium....
Hope this helps :)
@Muzza makes a statement thanks mate, the battery box doesn't have a lock on it but I'm sure if u wanted to it could be easily done. The invertor was only an extra $250 to be installed and wired up to a 3 way switch, but I paid for and supplied the inverter separately.... good luck with ur van ;)
Hello. Thanks for your beautiful video. Was the Concertina Door fitted at manufacturing or aftermarket? It looks pretty cool and I would like to have one installed in my Van. I am getting the same van and you have given me some ideas. Thanks heaps
Thanks for that, the door was fitted during construction as we opted to have one. It is a Lotus doors brand one if that helps...
Thanks Ducruznoz. It helps. And did you order the swirl shower door or it came with the standard price. What is the difference between the sliding shower door and the swirling one?
@@dr.edsozfamilytravel the swivel door was just fitted from the factory... the demo we saw has a sliding 3 piece door. Just ask them when it is being built and they will tell you what style ;)
Do you get noise from the fridge at night, being close to the master bed ?
Not noticeably as we have a concertina door between us and the fridge, but there is a night mode you can put it on and it cuts the noise down a fair bit (also saves power too)....
How do you find the bunks being so close to the door? Wife is worried we will wake the kids coming in and out
We haven't had a drama, our kids are pretty heavy sleepers but we usually have a routine of either staying outside for an hour or so before heading in (after they go to bed) or just going to our bed and reading or watching TV etc. Good thing about having the concertina door also is we can still have the light on etc.... hope that helps 🍻😎
@@DucruznOZ thank you
@@matthewsultana8748 all good mate 🍻
Hey how are you finding your van after all this time? Are you still happy with it??
Reason for my question is we are looking to buy basically the same van as yours.
Hey, we love our van and have put it through some pretty tough tracks and has held up really well. Is a great value for money van in our eyes and couldn't be happier 👌👌
@@DucruznOZ Thank you for your reply. Makes me feel better knowing that someone that lives in their van loves it. We are going to be living in our van too 🥳
@@wanderingmorgans4719 we know a few other families that live in theirs full time too and love thier's just as much.... too many people "poo poo" them over petty things, but we love ours 💪
Hi guys do you have any sort of affiliation with network or sponsorship ? How do you rate the van now ?
Hey Mate, we have no sponsorship or affiliation with Network RV... we love our van and have done some quite gnarly tracks and roads with it and has held up quite well. We have only had a few little things that were easy fixes but that is expected on any van. It has held up really well and wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone :)
@@DucruznOZ cheers mate appreciate your time 👍
@@wazheamadman6086 No worries mate :)
