- Welcome to our caravan walk-through episode, done a little differently! We spend 2 weeks travelling from the east to west coast of Australia in our new Zone RV 19ft Peregrine. Along the way, we find plenty of cool campsites along the Murray River, in the Clare Valley and even the iconic Bunda Cliffs while crossing the Nullarbor. At each spot, we show you through a different part of our caravan and review some of our favourite features after living in it for almost 3 months. We also get a chance to test both the off-road and off-grid capabilities and even manage to blow a tyre! If you have any questions about our caravan or travels, leave them in the comments below.
We hope you enjoyed watching this episode and thanks so much for the support and kindness on our videos! We're on the trip of a lifetime as we travel Australia full-time so subscribe now to see the whole adventure.

One of the best walkthroughs I've seen yet. Well done Brad & Hayley!
Thanks for the kind words Anthony 🙏
Great walk through guys, really easy to watch and so nice with some travel footage in between, really good idea. Beautiful Bunda Cliffs footage, pretty sure that place can never look bad 😊. See you next episode.
Thanks Robyn & so good to hear you like the format! I agree, Bunda Cliffs were epic & we were so blessed with the weather 😍
I reckon that was one of the best caravan walk throughs I have ever seen it wasn’t boring and you had some traveling content as well the new Zone caravan looks great
Thanks Jade! Thats what we were going for, try keep it interesting 😊
One of the first good showings of the bolster arrangement , great walk through , Tofty chose well.
Cheers for the feedback Ryan!
Thanks for making this walkthrough video. I've seen lot of Zone RV walkthrough videos but you have shown lots of aspects of the van that are rarely if ever covered in the others. Plus your commentary has been clear and precise.
Zone RV should add you as one of their product ambassadors. Enjoy your travels.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in & safe travels 😀
Lol Hayley and her Flamingo pose
She is know to rock this pose quite a bit.. Usually in the kitchen 🤣
So happy for you both, congratulations 🎉
Thanks Deirdre 🥰
Thanks, that was a better tour and explanation than a zone caravan tour and explanation. Chears.
Glad you enjoyed it! Exactly what we were going for 😊
What weapon of a van, guys. So cool👌
Thanks Steve, she is a beaut!!
That caravan is what dreams are made of

And font forget to puttheCentral Coast in NSW on yourlistof beautiful places to visit too! Hopefully when your here we can shiwyou someone thebest spots to visit, hike in and swimming holes! Awesomeand thx for the rundiwn on your new van as well, nice one! Phil
Thanks guys & same to you 😊 We both actually grew up on the Central Coast. Have enjoyed decades of exploring that area & still love to call it home ❤️
Looking good legends, I so love S.A.
So do we mate! Felt a sense of familiarity and nostalgia heading through SA again.
Best walk through video I have seen. Congratulations on the new van.
Thanks for the kind words! 😊
Hey guys. Looks like a bloody ripper. Great walk through. Looking forward as always to your adventures 😊
Cheers Mick, we are loving getting back on the road in our new home! 😊
You guys are really kicking goals with your vids. You've come so far since the early content. Keep it up. Enjoy WA - Wil keep an eye out for you on the road. 🙂
Thanks for the long time support Brendan! Likewise mate, safe travels 🤙😊
Awesome video and great van. The info on the new diesel hot water system was very interesting. Keep up the good work. The best caravan walkthrough by a long shot.
Thanks guys the diesel hot water is unreal. Appreciate the support 🙌
Great video guys! Been watching you for about a year. My first one I watched was Esperance! Great to see you back on the way back to that area! 🙂
Thanks for tuning in Mark, looking forward to doing some more exploring down in the SW paradise. 😊
This was the best and most unique walk through video we’ve ever seen. Awesome job guys! Happy travels for your time in WA.
Thanks guys! Like you know all to well, the Zone is a 5 star hotel on wheels 😍 Safe travel & all the best 😊
that was a great look through of the van and most of it was the same as i would picture my next van if i could make it
Cheers John & hope it helps you with picking your next home on wheels 🙌
Weapon of a van.👌
She sure is 😉
Lovely vid Brad and Hayley. The production is awesome.
Well done. 🥂
Thanks Kath 😎
That was great guys, what a lovely van and the white inside is a great move. You two together seem to really enjoying yourselves and having a great time together. Not so sure about the one spare wheel though I know it’s a pain carrying two spare wheels but you guys seem to do a fair bit of off reading and I remember that blow out on the Nullarbor in your old van😢😢. Well enjoy your adventures in this great country see you next time Jon
Thanks for the kind words! The blow out on the car last year was due to a delam 👎 Its worth noting that the stud pattern is the same on the car/van so i can interchange spares 😊 Also you cannot have 2 spares and a ladder & id much rather have the ladder and keep the weight down. Cheers Jon & thanks for tuning in again mate
Another comment. Best Zone review I have seen to date.
Glad you think so! Thanks for tuning in mate 😊
I did not notice what brakes you have? Also didn't know Zone produced the panels. I spent years researching Zone before my purchase. The fact they had their own engineered chasis was another big plus for me. Your review with the rationale was very good.
Great video showcasing the Zone. We can’t wait to get our Zone Peregrine in less than 2 months. Safe travels!
Awesome Lisa!! The count down is on, bet you cant wait 😀 Safe travels & see you out there soon!
@@our.australia.trip. yeah we keeping pinching ourselves that this is actually happening. Got a 3 month trip planned later in the year. Hope to cross paths some day perhaps at a Zone meet up.
What a excellent van, my dream van in years to come, when I can afford it. I’m gathering you got a new tyre before hitting the crossing.
Nah, was only crap chinese ones available outside of Fowlers Bay, we can use our ute spare in a pinch and vice versa.
Great rundown guys! Looking forward to seeing some WA adventures 😀
Thanks team!! Loving the new rig 😀
Good insight to your van, can tell you guys love it. Sorry to see you got a flat. I learnt my lesson in the inland Murchison area, so now I always carry two spares (car and van). I took me 600 km to get a new replacement (however was able to get a temporary bold tire at 200 km at a homestead.) Hope your travels in WA are just as good or better than your previous visit.
Safe travels and might see you on the road somewhere as we travel this magnificent country.
Thanks Wolf, fortunately the car/van stud pattern is the same so we can alternate if required.
Very beautiful caravan mate.
thanks guys 😊
Hey Hayley and Brad, cheers for the reply re the grey water tank size and position! great travels and chat soon, Phil
Thanks Phil 😀
Awesome walk through , I think you have both just made our decision a little easier. Just need to see and touch one. Let us know when your in WA 🙂
Sounds good Shawn! Where are you located?
They are awesome vans, enjoy & safe travels, cheers Rob & Alana ZSP034
Thanks guys, same to you 👍🇦🇺
great caravan
thank you!
Good trick with the chain saw don't cut down towards the sand/dirt if you can avoid it as soon as it hit even the tiniest bit it acts like sand paper and take the edge of the chain
Thanks for the tip Tom!
Air fryer, best invention in cooking. I use it for everything from frozen steak, sausages, and corn on the cob. 😂 anything you can think of.
Its been great! Looking forward to doing some baking when we get some spare time!
Great way to present the walk though. I’ve been fitting the sheet over the zipped in bolster - your way looks much easier.. off to change ours now!
Glad it was helpful Liz! Thanks for tuning in 😀
Awesome Ep guys and such a great set up, what a shame you do not have a tinny.
Hey Craig, even if we had the room i don't think id put on on. For the amount of time we use it probably wouldn't be worth it for us.
Ok no worries, @@our.australia.trip.
Great walkthrough. I’ve been following you now for 6 months. What a lovely couple you are. Would love a video of your new camera gear and what you go through with it all & editing? Happy New Year
Thank you! Looking at doing something on this in the future regarding our work etc.
Super keen to get our zone peregrine in late June and hit the road. Bit different for us as we have both just come out of 30+ year relationships sold up split up funds and now it is our turn to just live. (M53 and F52) can’t wait.
So proud of you guys. Love the van, especially that outdoor drop down table. Such a useful space! That chilli & lime looked so delish on the 🥩
Looking forward to reuniting back in WA very soon. Stay cool Legends 🤙
Cheers legends, looking forward to it 😎😎
Hey guys! I LOVE your new home! Congrats big time! May I ask where you got your multi reel from. Thank you. Im so excited for you both having a Zone. ❤
Thanks Kerri!! Appreciate your support 🥰
We are not affiliated, but they make a great product 🙌
flatoutmultireel.com.au/products/multi-reel
Congrats on the new van and for living your dream. Our van starts its build in a couple of weeks. Have you had flame failure fitted to the Weber?
Thanks guys, How exciting for you 😁 No i never leave it permanently connected, always pack up and shut all the gas down after use anyway 👍
Awesome video guys. Really enjoyed watching.
Can I please ask what kettle you have. We pick up our new zone Sojourn first week of Feb and I have been looking for a kettle for the induction cook top.
Keep up the good work guys and enjoy the travel. Look forward to your next video.
Thanks Lisa! How exciting 😁 Its a snow peak kettle 😊
Great vid i got some ideas for my van ,when you drove through Morgan you pasted my house, any way looking forwood to the next vid.
Great stuff Andrew & a lovely part of the world you live 😀
Awesome tour
Bad luck with that flat on the van but now its baptised
I see you ditched the OZ Glide??
Cheers
Johnny&Rene
Hey Johnny, thanks mate. We are really missing our glide, our chassis is rated to 4t so we need to run the DO45 hitch. There is a 4.5t OzGlide in the works so looking forward to seeing that come together & hopefully getting it on the van 👍
Great video and congratulations on your beautiful new van. You gave a very thorough tour. I'm sure a lot of people would like to know the all up price for your van as delivered, if you're happy to share?
Cheers. David.
Thanks David, You can build your own Zone RV and receive an instant price & weight for your build on the Zone RV Configurator. cms.zonerv.com.au/en-au/peregrine. Ours comes in at 165k.
@@our.australia.trip. Thanks so much. Keep up the good work.😀
Your caravan is truly beautiful. why hurry to WA? 👍
Hey John, we have bookings and plans for the year. Plus its easy to get behind the seasons if you don't get in early!
Hey Brad and Hayley, great van review! Just one thing- howbig is your grey water tank? You mentioned it being small? And where is it under the van? In front of or behind the wheel axles? Cheers again and love your work! Phil
Its 100L, its in between tank 2 & 3 at the rear. It also has a bypass so water cannot stagnate in there when stationary if you don't need to use it 👍
Hi Guys - love your work. Picking up our new Zone in a couple of weeks. Can you please tell me the measurements of your "dirty laundry" soft bags you keep above the diesel heater mechanism. Would like to get them before we head up. Cheers.
Thanks! Here is the product: www.bunnings.com.au/flexi-storage-clever-cube-lilac-geometric-compact-fabric-insert_p0385968
Is there a range hood over the stove i carnt see one my eyes are getting old 😦 , nice looking van tho 👌the diesel hot water heater is very interesting i like that idea
Hey David, no range hood. We just open the window or the all weather vent over the kitchen. Haven't found this to be an issue 👍
Great presentation guys, we have recently ordered our van. Would you be able to tell me the brand of the air fryer you use. Cheers, keep on having fun on your great adventure together.
Thanks, we have a phillips, they make great appliances
Well done guys. Love the free camp reviews. Where did you get the anchor tracks to secure the BBQ? Are they one lenght on each side or two?
Thanks mate! They are just XTM anchor track from BCF. The tracks are 2 lengths each side that are end for ended 👍
Great video guys nice Van do you have a dcdc charger I'm not sure if i missed you say it anyway enjoy the trip back my home state all the best Ron
Yes we do, redarc 50 and 30 amp charger. Cheers Ron 😊
Awesome walk thru. Have loved following your journey and can’t wait for more awesome content. Just a question re your chairs, can you please advise the brand for both? Many thanks 😊
Thanks for following along Kerin! They are snowpeak chairs 😊
@@our.australia.trip. thanks for the reply! Safe travels 😊
Hi guys loved the walk through of your van, we have ordered one and hopefully will be ready in May, just wondering how you’re rear view cameras connect to in car and did zone supply the receiver mirror?
Hi John! Thanks for tuning in and congrats on your purchase 👏 Somewhere along your journey Zone should send you out the kit for you or your auto electrician to install 😊
Nice van and choice guys. Very cool. For the Compost Toilet, do U drop thw toilet paper in too? More so when doi g #2? I see a little bin on the side? Smell? Cheers jeff
Yes paper is actually good to chuck in cause it helps regulate the moisture level ( you dont want it getting too moist)
Hey guys just a long shot but if you are in West Australia would love to see the van up close.
Also, just your thoughts on a front door van.? Really love the zone but we were hoping to get rear door. Do you have for and against.! The zone has everything we want. But would love to see one up close before dropping a deposit.
Hey Andrew, shoot us an email gday@ouraustraliatrip.com & we will be in touch 😊
The places you are going would help to have 2 spare tyres!!
I should've mentioned we can use our ute tyres on the van and vice versa
Let's hope you don't need that 2nd spar.. 🤞
We can use our ute spare too if ever in need 👍
Hey guys, love your work, keep it up.
I am curious, do you have some sort of Australia wide roadside service at all? Or do you have to purchase each states local service, like NRMA and RACV and so on?
Thanks
Hey thanks for the kind words! Yes, our roadside covers us for all gazetted roads in Australia. Zone RV give you 12 months complimentary roadside assistance when you purchase one of their vans too which is awesome 🙌
Brad, I like the look of the carbon fibre starlink pole. Where did you get it fitted? Do you run a 12V DC supply for the Starlink as an option to avoid having to power up the Inverter?
I had a mate install it for me, and no just running it off the 3000w inverter - for us its simpler and cheaper this way rather than buggering around with 12v conversion.
The thing is those vents are still needed for a compressor fridge to breath. We will see I guess see how u go
There is permanent airflow through the internal and out the roof
Hi Haley & Brad, outstanding video. Just a note; have you investigated the need for a flame detector on your Weber? I have just installed one on my Weber Baby Q 1000. We added this because it may affect your insurance in the event of a fire. Not sure if the Q model you have has the iQ flame detector available yet? Cheers Pete
Hey Pete! We have one but i never leave the bayonet hooked up or the gas on after cooking so never really been worried about it.
Great video on your van, can I ask what size compressor fridge you have please?
274L Thetford, its HUGE
Hi guys, we love watching all your videos. Just a quick question what was that level app on your phone, please?
Hey Peter, its just called level remote
Hi guys wondering what diesel hot water system do you have?
Hey Nardine, its a Webasto Thermo Top Evo 5.
Enjoyed the walk through mixed with travel, it was easy to watch
What is the name of the product you buy from Big W for the toilet?
Do you rent this van from Zone?
Thanks! Its just peat moss for the toilet.
Hi Guys, new to the channel, loving your content.
Is there an option with Zone RV to have extra capacity water tanks fitted over and above what they have standard?
😀👍
Hey Brad, no mate. Its so they can run off the production line with precise weights and weight distribution.
@@our.australia.trip. No worries, our Sojourn only has 240lts of water storage. I thought we may have missed ticking a box for an extra tank. 😀
Have you done any mods on the cruiser re; GVM/ GCM to accommodate the van ?
You say the van is loaded to over 3000 kg
From memory the GCM on the cruiser is 6000kg
These vans are the best
Also can you show how the inside overhead cupboards open as there are no visible handles
Must say that this has been the best informative vid on a caravan I’ve ever seen
Bloody well done
Hey Wayne, we have a gvm upgrade to 3630kg which helps keep us under when the ball weight is added to the vehicle when hitched. GCM is 6800kg for our 79.
Thanks mate! the handles are hidden underneath the centre of the fascia panel. you can see it in the mirror at the 41:02 mark in the mirror.
do you leave you inverter on during the day to run starlink?
Yeah it runs pretty much full time throughout the day
Your review almost makes me want to upgrade my current Zone. Did you sell your old van?
Haha sorry Ian!! Yes the old van has found a new home 😊
So good guys,!! where is the WA outlet for these vans?
Not just yet but it’s something the team are working on 🙌🏼 Zone are looking at having a pop up display later in the year over in Perth 😃
Hey guys what is your fuel consumption towing the Van?
Hey! We get around 20-24 lph depending on how much we are hauling and road/weather conditions
12V conversion for Starlink ??
Nah just running off the inverter 😊
You said early on it was gas less then you connect a gas bbq??????
gas free internal, you must've missed that part
Oh man, windows took a beating (czcams.com/video/j52ZPJfsKcE/video.html). Hope you can get that polished out. Aiming to place an order for a Peregrine next month so would be good to hear what you can get done, if anything. Enjoy your travels. The Peregrine looks great. Cheers.
Its deceiving, thats just where the leaves brushed down the side along the dust. You can see my finger mark checking for scratches when i enter the van for the internal walk through. Since then i've washed her down and she's looking brand new again with no scratches.
@@our.australia.trip.Yeh, I can see what you.re saying upon closer inspection. Good to see your windows aren't trashed. Safe travels. Cheers.
PS: Brad, your better half, is it Haley or Patsy? I'm confused.
PPS: Can you tell us what brands of induction kettle (inside) & coffee pot (outside) you are using. Wife and I really liked the look of them. Cheers.
- The windows are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is known for its scratch resistance and strength.
- Patsy is Hayleys nickname.
- Snowpeak kettle & bialetti 'venus' moka pot
@@our.australia.trip. You guys rock! Thanks for the detailed reply. Wife's googling the kettle and moka pot as we speak. Safe travels, Cheers
What is the level app . Name please
Hey Paul, it’s called level remote on the App Store
wide view on GOPRO is not good 🙂
Yep, kept playing with the settings for certain things and forget to change it back. It will take a vid or so before this is corrected 👍
I guess it’s unfortunate for you guys that the Gall Boys from Kedron don’t need influencers to sell their vans, because I know you said once before that they were your inspiration and if you had to buy another van you’d def go with a Kedron. Let’s hope the Zone lives up to the marketing hype…and that this doesn’t become just another Zone RV channel! Hope you take this constructively because we’ve enjoyed your travels from the beginning.
Hey mate! We have to do walk throughs, although they may seem like an ad to you we will get far more questions than we can field if we were not to do it. We did enjoy our old van, Just the new builds are far too heavy for us going forward with what we want to do. We will be back to our regular travel videos next ep.
@@our.australia.trip. That’s good to hear, and we look forward to your new adventures. I’d be interested in knowing the difference in tare weight between the new van and “equivalent” Kedron. You said the Zone was about 2700 kg, and as far as can find out the new 18’ 6 Kedron is about 2800 kg. It’s not always easy to get these figures, so if you’ve got anything you can share I’d appreciate it. Cheers
Well, this van is pretty much the same weight as our 2016 Kedron. We had 200ah lithum and 600watts solar. If you built a 19ft with the same specs as the Peregrine you would be well over 3t tare. The bigger you go, the heavier they get to which was a major motivation for us knowing in the future were going to want a 21ft family van. Those i know come in over 3.3t tare cause i got a quote about 12mths back.
Lovely van guys congratulations.
How do you like the diesel hot water? Love the idea even known in theory it's a gas less van, zone still think of allowing for a gas bottle for the bbq.
Nothings beats a good old fashioned gas bbq
🥩🫕
Thanks guys! The diesel hot water would be our top 3 changes (diesel hot water, compost toilet and airbags). Cant beat a weber!! Love the gasless though, we were running through a bottle every 10 days in the old van 😅 Such a pain it was! Now we will be lucky to replace a 4 kg every 3 months 🤣
@@our.australia.trip.Nice we don’t use all that much gas but definitely something to think about.
Crazy how the van industry is booming leaps and bounds so many options now days
@@our.australia.trip. Airbags btw are are Number 1 ✅ couldn’t live without them now ☺️
