- We spent months working with the team at Titanium Caravans months designing and building the ULTIMATE Off Grid/Off Road Caravan - the DESTINATION X. We have really stepped it up in this build and taken caravanning to a whole new level! With weight and size no longer an issue thanks to the Silverado having a large BTC, a lot of our previous restrictions have disappeared which made the design process so much more fun.
In Part 1 - The Build, we take you through the full caravan build from creation of the Cruisemaster Suspension and S&M Chassis, right through to each part of the process in the brand new Titanium Caravans factory in Campbellfield.
In Part 2 (to be released next week), we take you through the colour choices, give you a van tour plus reveal what we have decided to name this BRAND NEW MODEL! Any guesses?
We want to give a huge shout-out to all the legends involved who have helped make this incredible caravan possible:

You don't realise how much work goes into building a caravan. I sat mesmerised watching that it was so interesting & exciting 😍 I can't wait to see your new van 😉🥰
It brings a whole new level of appreciation once you see the build process 😁😁
And that’s why I’ve ordered a Titanium van. Your best video in a while. Loving the new colour and looking forward to next weeks episode.
Thanks Mark. It’s quality all the way for sure. You made a great decision 😁👊🏼
Titanium Factory is awesome the staff are unbelievable heapful and answered all questions. Can't wait to design our new home.
They are the best!! 😁🙌🏼
You did an amazing job documenting the build. Great to see local manufacturing is alive and well. Shout out to the build team.
Thanks so much! It was a 3 month process 😅
How enjoyable was that episode. Did I count 8 solar panels on the roof. Quality looking van. Congrats. 🇦🇺 made.
Thanks Mark…We are so happy that you enjoyed it.
Haha and yep you counted correctly ✌🏼
Congrats and its refreshing to see how caravans are put together. Good on you Titanium!! Looking forward to the finished product!!
Titanium do an incredible job and it was great to be able to film the build process 😁
What a build guys ! We have been fortunate to see this van and all we can say is “WOW” looking forward to next weeks video 🙌🏻
Thanks buddy…there is always room in the bathroom for one of you 😂
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown 🤣🤣
Wow, such a well oiled process. Loved our factory visit when we were van shopping, so glad we chose Titanium and our build is so close now. Getting very excited 👏👏👏
It’s great they offer the factory tours - it’s super reassuring seeing the process for yourself! 😁🤍
Well done Ladies & Gentlemen ..
Thanks!! Wait until you see the new van later this year! 😁😁
Excellent, glad you smashed out the build in one video. Nothing nicer than a new van.
It’s such a great van!! Was amazing to film the whole process 😁
Wow guys. Absolutely aweosme. Can't wait to see the rest!!!
It’s pretty cool hey - Titanium really stepped it up this time! 😁🙌🏼
Makes me glad we have a Titanium on order.
Wahoo!! Best choice you’ve ever made 🙌🏼
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown You guys were there at the time. Sydney Rosehill Show 2021.
How exciting!! Looking forward to your new adventures in the van.
And 1440w of solar!!!!!! Awesome
Thanks! Yes, the power in this van is next level 😁🙌🏼
Kick Ass build!
😁😁
Loved this , Titanium caravans, well put together little show of the factory 😀
Thanks mate 🙌🏼😁
Looking good can not wait to see inside next week! Our count down is on till we get ours! Congratulations she is a ripper!
WOW! That cable management was amazing, wish mine was like this.
Next level isn’t it Coop. You’ll have a Titanium one day 🙌🏼😁
Our son told us to watch your CZcams on your new van, it looks amazing can’t wait to see inside. We have had our Sunland van for 4 years now we built it from new. We put the cruise master ATX but with drum drakes. Our van has no gas inside the either. We have the Eberspatcher hot water & heater combo, and as you said the hot water is amazing. We did have some issues with the heater but that got sorted. We have a diesel cooktop inside. No Oven. We have 1 gas bottle outside to power our Ziggler & Brown BBQ. After watching your vid on your new van we fell quite chuffed with what we have on our Sunland. Going to start following you guys.
That’s great! Well done 😁 Gas-less is the way of the future for sure!
Congratulations guys. Good luck and can't wait to see the inside.
Thanks Sam 🤙🏼
What a great video that shows the whole process from a-z. Thanks
You’re welcome 😁🙏🏼
Wow Chris & Mim, the van looks sooo awesome on the outside, can't wait to see what colour's you chose for the interior Mim 👌🙌

Thanks! It’s such an incredible van … we are so happy with it 😁😁
That was 11/10 awesome to watch.

Congratations.That was fantastic seeing it being built.Gives everyone a great understanding of how it all gets assembled.Great for looming for problems when on the road and doing mods.
Thanks! Yes, it’s an eye opener that’s for sure! 😁
Congrats legends !!!! Looks bloody mint

Great vid cant wait for part 2 now. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if vans could be built that quickly. Looking pretty good so far.
Thanks! And yes … would be great if it happened in 30 minutes 😅
Looking the goods guys. 💪
Cheers James 🤙🏼
Congrats guys! Looks really nice!!
Cheers guys 😁👍🏼
Super interesting video. Well produced too! Well done
Thanks Robbie 🙌🏼
great work , would be nice to see workers wearing safety glasses when using routers drills etc considered essential in this day and age
👍🏼
Fantastic! Looking forward to part 2 too! Would love to know how you feel about the compost toilet please. Not many Aussies have talked about having a compost toilet in their vans, they appearing to be more popular now. Cheers Jen n Co💫👏💫🐨
Thanks Jen!
We LOVE the composting toilet. Best thing we ever did.
Awesome vid guy’s 👍
Thanks mate 😁🙌🏼
Aussie manufacturing at its finest. Awesome stuff!
Thanks! We agree 😁🙌🏼
Very very nice caravan, but geez, do you think your elecs could do a much tidier install of the wiring.
Thanks mate. The wiring is fine. They run plastic grommets through every hole.
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown if you think that wiring is a nice install, well all I can say is you don’t know much about professional wiring installations
Awesome great to see how they make there vans
It’s a pretty good insight! So good to see and very reassuring! 😁
WOW !
🙌🏼
Ain’t nothing new except for more modern testing and electronics, I worked for coromal caravans in the naughtys and they The did exactly the same Thing manufacturing.
Ok mate 👍🏼
Amazing access! Thank you for the insight. 100s of hours worth of filming and post edits. Appreciate the effort. Will definitely consider this manufacturer for our next build. Mind if we name drop? 😄
Thanks again Dave! And thanks for seeing and appreciating the hard work that goes it it.
Mate not a problem at all with the name drop.
Love your Vid, any chance you could let us know about the recessed cupboard and draw catches you have used in the new Van..
Thanks Greg. The cabinetry and handles are Titaniums new 2022 range. We love them!
Awesome setup guys. Are you still in Exmouth? Love to meet you and discuss as we are in the process of doing the same. Cheers Clint
Hey Clint - we are in the Pilbara now - I think we may also be chatting on IG 🤔
Amazing van, where do the kids sleep?
Thanks! The kids haven’t been with us for a while now - this is our second no-bunk van. 👍🏼 So, they’ve been sleeping in their own beds back in Qld. The eldest is 25, so well and truly settled in his own place. 😁
Great video.
But you know what would be great TURN DOWN THE MUSIC VOLUME to match the speaking
I do. I spend more time on volume than anything else when editing 👍🏼
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown its still to loud in that one you cannt hear what you say, so you turn it up tyhen the music start and blows your eye away, its just to uncomfortable to watch. Sick of up and down of the volume
Looks like a well planned process and high quality build! How do this routers cut the holes but without damaging the frame as the holes don't appear to be marked? It looks like to solar panels are purely glued on - is that right?
Thanks mate…yea extremely well built caravans.
In regards to the holes, are you talking where the wiring goes through in the frame?
Correct..the panels are just glued.
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown wow, glued, must be great glue. I meant the holes where the windows and hatches go - they seemed to cut then with a router but without a guide line I wondered how they didn't cut the frame but mistake?
Hello! I really like the Floorplan of your van. I can't find this Floorplan on the Titanium website. Is this model only custom-made? I'm from Russia and this is the perfect van for our roads!! Please tell me, is it well isolated? I suppose if it keeps the Australian heat, then with a diesel heater it will keep the heat even at -20 C. Is it possible to order additional insulation and heating of tanks? And greetings from cold Russia)
Hi! No, It’s not custom made, it’s a brand new model - the name and walk through video launches tonight and next Sunday night 😁 And yes, it’s very well insulated 👍🏼
Cool, puts the junk we have in the states to shame. I will stick with my FWC though
😁👍🏼
I just "discovered" your channel and I find your trailer build very educational. It's quite an improvement over most of the units we have here (Canada), except for the lack of cold proofing the water systems. lol I observed one thing during the wiring segment of the frame which surprised me. The view was brief and it looked like the tech. was running a bundle of wires inside the frame rails. This seems like a potential problem zone. Should the loose wires vibrate/ shake enough, I suspect a hard-to-find fault could result. My experience has been positive with running HD 6 or 7 conductor trailer cable (with a good outer sheath) the length of the trailer and terminating in a junction box. The individual connections to each light, brake, or camera etc., then branch out from the junction box. This way any diagnostics is fairly straightforward. I could not see if Titanium's system is better overall, and just the idea of wires hidden in frame rails causes me concern. I look forward to working my way through your library of videos. On the side, your driving a Chev in Australia really caught my eye. I like the build.
Thanks for your feedback Rod and a Happy New Year to you.
In regards to the wiring, if you noticed in the framing section all uprights have stamped holes. Every hole that has wiring pass through it has a strong plastic cap to protect it. Titanium has never had a problem with this. It’s well and truely proven to be a very good solution.
Haha and yep we love our Silverado!! They are such an amazing tow vehicle. Australian cars just don’t do it in my eyes. As long as we tow we will always have an American truck 🙌🏼
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown I drive a Dodge 5.9 Cummins and I do like the GMs. I hope it gives you trouble-free longevity. Thanks for the reassurance on the wiring.
That wiring is going to be impossible to service if you ever need to...
There is no need to service wiring.
Sorry if I missed it but what length is the van and what is the weight
Hi, it’s a 22,6. 29.5 feet in total
Cheers mate, looks way bigger than that inside
Love the layout🏆🍻🍻
How much for that particular build.
🇭🇲👍🍻
$215k 👍🏼
un frontally vatical down doesn't not produce a strong weld strong., it needs to be a vertical up get any strength
Hasn’t broken yet 👍🏼
Why don't you answer me? I'm sorry for my English, I'm writing through a translator.
All good buddy…these caravans are built for the Australian environment. Not sure how it would go where you are from.
So many places for water to leak into.... Nope not for me thank you
Not sure what you are talking about?
