I live in Vegas is too hot the A/C works fine in these conditions?
Awesome content once again 👏 Beautiful rig , thanks mate 😊 Greetings and cheers 🍻 from south africa 🇿🇦
Great walk thru guys! Lot of clever space saving ideas in this Van, this rig will definitely expand your options of where you can take the family whilst touring offroad. Looking forward to following your adventures. Congrats on the purchase, enjoy 👍😊
Thanks mate.
We've got ours on order , to pick up this month and we are pumped!!!!! Off to the Big Red Bash as our "break it in" trip 🙌
Awesome guys, we have been to the bash twice and love it, very jealous.
The kitchen is up in your face, that was one of the main reasons I didn’t buy one previously. Conqueror wasn’t willing to change this dangerous concept.
Hi Chris, agree the kitchen is high mate, it’s a compromise with utilising the space. For us it’s not a big deal but I understand your comment.
@@SmartTouringSystems 👍 nothing is perfect and there is always a compromise. We are both 70 series owners…… haha!
@@christurner68 😂
I was just thinking the same thing in bear country like Alaska- this may turn out bad
You are the best mate, really amazing❤
It's a great rig. Loved the "secret" table. Looking forward to seeing where you take it. 🙂
Thanks mate.
Looks nice great features
Traveling on a budget? These teardrop camper trailers offer affordability without compromising quality. Embrace the freedom to explore without breaking the bank. It's the perfect way to discover Australia's beauty without financial constraints.
Ah, so ya did snag one. Good work brother!! You will haul that super light machine twice as many places!!
👍🏼
Bisley on board well done all those work shirts in the video's has paid off for you con grats
Thanks mate.
Love the table idea👍
Nice looking rig
I’ll be interested to see if you get any dust in that rear extension area
Can’t wait to see you get it out there
Cheers mate. Yes that rear fold up is def a point for dust ingress being at the back of the van, the cabin pressure system is good, and currently being made even better. We are enjoying being able to have input into improving what we think is a great product and making it better, importantly the guys at Conqueror are listening.
Nice unit
Been watching all your content going around oz and reviews on gear. Please don't take it the wrong way as i can see what your trying to acheive with more remote offroad but i can't see your wife and the kids coping for space coming out of a very nice 19ft plus van. Being outside in shocking weather cooking and the pack up would become tiring after awhile. Hope it all works out for you guys cause we can see the joy in your review.
No dramas mate, before we had the Titanium we had a smaller van than the Conqueror which we spent 3 months straight in and before that we had a camper trailer and swags in between them all. Time to get back to camping a bit more. I agree that at times the weather will be testing, but that’s life.
🍻
So many bad reviews in online forums. The layouts spot on but an $80k chinese made hybrid needs to be spot on.
Hi Joel, Conqueror have had their issues in the past, but the guys are constantly improving the product. Where have you read the reviews we are always curious about peoples opinions.
01:15 I have four small, double ended carabiners that are placed when the over-centre latches are closed on the roof. They go on the dash or my car key-ring when the latches are open - it's a good check.
A very good walk around. The tip about the awning legs is a great idea even though I have a mechanical awning which will work for me. The table option is very clever.
What do you think about gas heating versus diesel heating? By the time I got my van, diesel heating wasn't an option, I wanted to go gas-less with induction cooking as I have 2 x 300Ah Lithiums, 1200W of solar and a 2300W inverter.
My gas bottles are 2 x 4.5 with bespoke fittings, so I carry an eight kilo for the Weber Baby Q with standard fittings.
You recently asked me a question about a DPF delete - it's not worth it if you require a pink slip every 12 months. In the ACT, it's possible for quite a while. Other States and Territories, not so. Any good exhaust shop can disguise a DPF delete, with the DPF construct remaining in place.
Thanks for the comment mate and a great tip with the carabiners. I’ve had both now and they both work really well(diesel and gas heating) it’s hard to pick a favourite yet.
Absolutely 100% all positive review of this van, seems to much like an ad for the company, they must have written the script for you 🤔
Hi Lee, sorry you feel this way but we haven’t used it enough yet to review it properly and this video was meant to be a walkthrough to show the van, yes we do like it though otherwise we would not have chosen it.
Looks like a good "first" van. Have been looking at various options and this one seems the easiest to manage by far.......
👍🏼
hey guys this looks a great hybrid, is the top bunk a true single bed ? alot of them on the market are a really small size top bunk.
Great looking van and well done on the new purchase. I may have missed it, but how much solar have you got and can you plug more in? Are you able to provide a rough ball park cost with the options you have? Happy camping
Hi Baz it has 300w on the roof, with the ability to plug more in. Visit www.conqueror4x4.Com.au for more info and pricing.
Beautiful van, thanks for sharing.
Could you please state the TARE and ATM.
Cheers
Hi, the TARE is 2250kg and the GVM 2800kg
They are an impressive unit, however I think the draw bar is too short and those boxes would get damaged easily. Not sure if you mentioned if there was solar on top and just wondering how much you could get into the pantry door bags and still be able to close the door.
Surprised you didn't say too much about the rear suspension set up regarding the trailing arms. After watching your offroad vid, it appears the ramp over angle is compromised by the water tank and departure by the rear Step. You don't need that rear step and it wouldn't take much to damage it.
Set up isn't too bad though.
Also interested to know more about the composite panels and where they're made.
Being a Chinese van concerns me also.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comments and some fair concerns, stay tuned for a review shortly.
Cracking Vid Guys and cracking Van , What sort or money Guys,
Hey mate, around 80 depending on options. 👍🏼
Where can I find this trailer in the US at?
Is there clips to lock the rear wall from the inside? Other could be easy to break into.
They don’t have anything from the inside, but that is a fair point that I will take to Conqueror. They do supply some small padlocks, but yeah something on the inside would be convenient.
Love the Conqueror, but how do you cook in rain? I would rather have manual 360 awning .
Yes we would prefer the 180 awning also for that exact reason.
Does this model have the rear bed that converts to a couch? And if so, do you need still need to open the back to sit on the couch? Thanks mate
Yeah mate it does covert to a dinette and yes you could use it whilst the back is folded up.
Hi we are looking at one for a lap. how comfortable is the bed and what is the tow ball weight for your setup? thank you
Hey mate. The bed has surprised us so far as we thought it would not be that comfortable, we have slept well on it. Maybe add a topper for longer trips though.
Honestly I haven’t measured ball weight, the compliance plate says 268kg at tare. So I would say it would be around 300kg. Our last van was 350kg ball weight and the uev14 doesn’t sag the rear of the ute anywhere near as much.
Hi guys, are conqueror looking to do a couples version where hey push the ensuite forward and loose the bunk? That would be mint. Also would you spend 8-9 months in one, just you and the missus?
Hey guys.
They do have more models coming, but easier to Contact Conqueror www.conqueror4x4.Com.au
As far as spending 8-9 months in one. The best answer that I can give is that we did 3 months with the four of us in a Jurgens Tufftrax about 6 year ago and it was smaller and without an internal shower toilet, so yes I would and mainly so we can do more offgrid and harder to reach places.
@@SmartTouringSystems thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
What a great caravan, it looks pretty solid and plenty of practical solutions. And the weight figures are also so good, only 1,145Kg for the tare plus 255Kg for the payload. With the full tank of 190 liters of water, you can still have 65Kg available for whatever you need on holidays. Excellent product.
Cheers nick. The tare is 2245 and the gvm is 2800 leaving 555kg for payload.
I'd lose all those clips does it come with heaps of spares
AMPle?
titanium or conqueror would you take it where you guys went on your last trip / 4 months away ??
Yeah for sure mate, otherwise we would have it.
Hey guys, pretty much decided on the UEV14 for our hybrid choice. Would really like to adapt a bike rack. Have you worked out a way of doing this?
Cheers.
Congratulations 🤙🏼. Yes it’s something I have been meaning to do and it would be fairly straight forward, keep an eye on our socials and CZcams. I’m onto it 🤙🏼
@@SmartTouringSystems a couple of further questions.
Have you used the aircon yet? Is it any good? Is it loud? Do you have fans, ie. sirocco in the van?
Is the heater loud under the bed?
With the electric awning have you been in the rain and do you get rain coming between the awning and van? I know the 180 has a bit of a gutter with the bag but I do like the electric awning with an added privacy wall along the length when required.
Thanks guys.
@@absicme1505 we’ve used the air-con only as a heater and it works fine, is about as loud as any other caravan air con. Seems to be ever so slightly quieter than our previous van’s AC which was a Truma. Keep in mind, most AC units in vans won’t heat if it’s approx below 4°
Yes there are 2 Sirocco fans either side of the main bed. The gas heater is excellent!! And super quiet. It’s quieter than the Webasto diesel heater in our previous van and heats up quicker also.
No rain coming in off the awning between it and the van but we do get water blowing in on the kitchen when it’s out. I know Conqueror are looking into an additional canvas piece that will go at the kitchen end to prevent this. Personally, we like the idea of the batwing style awning, and we will be getting this next, as we believe the extra setup is worth it for a more superior undercover area.
@@smarttouringsystems-garage thanks for answering my questions.
Your responses have been very helpful.
How do you find the kind bed/cushion mattress? Do you use a topper?
Hi Georgia, we were dreading the cushion mattress to be honest but so far we have slept really well on it and no topper as yet. You can order it as a fold up bed rather than a dinette.
@@SmartTouringSystems great feedback thankyou …. Love the flexibility of the dinette but worry about a terrible nights sleep 😅
Is there a wind shield for the cook top?
Not one supplied. But we will be looking into rings around the burners, as this would help for sure.
Is the rear lockable?, and this looks to complicated, especially if it's late and darkness is coming
The rear isn’t lockable, yet.
It’s quite simple to set up though.
Does UEV-14 has black tank toilet option?
Hi. The Uev-14 does not have a black tank for the toilet.
what's the height weight length width. i've been looking at the 49 now i've seen this i'm changing my mind
Hi Gary the weight is 2245 tare with a gvm of 2800 hight is approx 2600 (roof down)and overall length from drawbar to back of van in travel mode is approx 6m.
Good luck mate.
Outdoor fridge ,kitchen area, too exposed to weather.
Wind, rain,sun no protection.
In due time you may need a shady gear awning.
Happy camping😊
Hi Leanne, yes we will be more exposed to weather, Conqueror are working on an awning extension for the kitchen end and there is also a batwing awning option we are keen to test.
$80,000!!!!!!!
Any chance of getting solar on the roof?
Hi Christopher, the UEV-14 has 300w of solar panels on the roof.
very nice ,price for you set up
Hi Lawrence. Get in contact with www.Conqueror4x4.com.au for pricing and more details
I was keen to watch this but the interest faded with every clip during the set up & a few faults like having to get a ladder up to the rear roof clips & step up on the boxes to the front clips , the uncovered truma vent to let in dust & the flat face gas bottle box to ricochet rocks into your vehicle. Being a new model I’m sure they’ll evolve & get better. Sorry but my MDC XT12 is better in my eyes. I’ll keep watching to see what’s next…
A few good points mate, and Conqueror are actively evolving and improving.
What happens when it's raining?
Yes the awning leaves the kitchen a little exposed. We would option the batwing for this reason
Stone Guard?
MEASURE & FITTING A STONE STOMPER TO A HYBRID CARAVAN
czcams.com/video/FqnYofWJLEI/video.html
This is what we use and love.
Bike rack?
We are looking into that
Didn’t really say why you sold the Titanium. Lost me after the first dozen clips, it’s like a big meccano set. Australian built is the only way to go, especially as $80k+ isn’t cheap.
Can't believe even these are made in China now.
Yes they sure are Mate, Conqueror moved production there a few years ago, there are heaps of quality parts used in these from all around the world and are still uniquely Conqueror that’s for sure.
@@SmartTouringSystems Yes true, with more snd more vans made in China, I'm sure quality control would have to be improving, or one can hope. A good company should back their product.
@@TechStories79 Yeah we are less worried about where it’s made and more worried about testing and improving the product, and have been very impressed with Conqueror4x4 in taking on feedback and wanting to improve. I understand your comment mate, as I believe in supporting Aussie made, when possible, but Conqueror is very unique and happens to made in china now.
Definitely profit driven, labour is is also cheap in South Africa but due to the declining manufacturing industry in China they will do anything to get the business. Metalian Campers from SA have done the same as the chinese have invested into Metalian campers.
you cannt use pop up roofs on cold wheathers ,
? Why do you say that.
@@SmartTouringSystems there is not a very good isolation systems that pop up will prevent you from cold wheathers and the other reason is the bears :) they can get in from there I faced up this kind of shit :)
moreover this brand is South African model they do not have any cold wheather :) I guess
Been camping this week at -6 heater is sweet. 👍🏼
@@SmartTouringSystems really :)) cool
All the in for except prices, I'm awear the price could be differant to what you choose in accesseries however why not tell us the basic price ...so disappointing...
Sorry to disappoint mate. Give Conqueror a call on Monday and I’m sure they will be happy to give you a price. This video will more than likely be up for years, so it’s pointless discussing price as things can change, as I’m sure you can understand.
8:37 weird to see a grown man trying to sell something over 100,000 dollars, wearing cheap flip flops.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated. 👍🏼
Takes far too long to set up IMO. Imagine having to do all that in the rain
Everyone is different mate. We find the setup quick.
$94K that is a serious investment
Spending 94k on a depreciating asset is an “ investment “?🤨
@@Chris-sf2cp Absolutely, I call it a 'Soul' investment, toys are always just for the fun of it and you always blow thousands in the process
Chinese or Sth African?
South African owned and built in China.
It's not exactly lightweight cheap camping....but each to their own. Technically, I'd be concerned by the number of metal-on-metal moving parts, which will soon destroy the paint and leave it vulnerable to rust, and of course, rattling.
Price as built?
Hi Jay. Around $83000
