Ahah Deryck is very happy with it. Going to house the outboard motor which is great 👍 Vacationer were awesome in working with us and meeting all our individual needs and asks!
It’s amazing how quickly they can put a van together, great vid guys looking forward to see the finished van🤙
100% Andre, we were gobsmacked at how quick it was! A finely tuned production line!
It’s pretty quick but most of it is pre made
Nice van guys, we’ve got an 18”6 duel axle and it rows like a dream and that configuration real helps with ball weight.
Your video is one of the best van builds I’ve seen. As always you guys make fun to watch.
Good luck with the new home.
Thank you 🙏 . We so glad you enjoyed the video . We can’t wait to tow ours
Epic build good on you guys 😉 the van looks really cool 👍 and great colour choice aswell looking forward to seeing the end result keep on Vanning It cheers

Brilliant video. So interesting to see a can being built. Can't wait for next week's reveal
Thanks Erin, very excited to show the final product!
Really interesting video, looking forward to the second part. It would be interesting to see a video where you discuss the decision making process that lead you to ordering this van, and what has worked, and has not worked for you in your previous vans, which impacted your choice of van 👍
Thanks Cam, great advice and will def include that in our reveal. We learnt so much from. Our previous cans that all impacted our decision on this one.
Also keen to see this. Its such a tough decision when it comes to your van
All the best
Congratulations 👏. Great video. We pick up our Roughrider next week.
Oh wow that is so exciting! I reackon your van would have been in the same production line as ours then! Very exciting for you. Hope you enjoy it and let us know how you go!

Hi Sue and Deryk. Really enjoy all your videos. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in the new van. Quick question for Sue: what sort of work do you do on the road?
Cheers, David and Moira.
Thanks so much David I work for a company leading their recruitment team. We recruit aged care professional for care homes across Australia. My team also works remotely from NSW, Vic and Brisbane. It is the best job in the world, am very blessed to have a company that supports remote working!
@@suelandolt6840 Thanks Sue. Sounds like a great job and the perfect arrangement.
Interesting to see AL-KO Components on an Australian Caravan :). Just one question: I see it all the time with caravans not built in Europe. Is there any reason why these caravans do not have an anti-sliding / anti-swinging coupling / anti-twister coupling (I don't know the exact translation sorry)? They seem to be a stock feature with most european caravans.
Great video of the build process and the van looks like a beast!
One question, you made reference to no timber in the floor so no rot if there is a leak, no timber in the frame so no rot if there are leaks, did they offer an option for something other than plywood for the internal wall panel?
Thank you 🙏 . They do offer a fibreglass interior one piece wall and ceiling . The top end caravan offers that as a standard but on the roghrider it’s an upgrade
Well done,new van
looks good so far looking forward to seeing it finished,are you going to be running lithium batteries
Thanks so much Alvin, yeah we are, will reveal full electrical set up in next week's video!
Thank you 🙏 keep an eye out for the walk around for the battery setup
Did you look at Zone RV for off road?
Hi Lee, we looked at most of the Aussie off road van manufacturers.
Well done guys, looks awesome. Where are they built?
Hey neighbour, hope you, Emma and kids are well! They are built in Campbellfield in Vic.
If you get an electrical fault do they need to remove outside wall to fix it or get to wiring ? How are outside speakers secured to van? Glue? Silicone?
Great van, I am looking at a new van what do you think of the DAKAR with airbags and disc brakes this will be my first van
Hi, thanks for your question. The Dakar is an amazing van and would have been our first choice but couldn’t pull the weight as it is a heavier van. So decided to spec up the rough rider with Dakar specs.
Vacationer offer airbag and disc brake options but you would be better off specking up the Rough Rider (or other) with the Dakar extras in terms of weight. Vacationer are really flexible to accommodate this.
We have watched a Dakar get built which was just behind our van and they are a beautiful van.
Thanks for that DAKAR is of my list I have a ranger wildtrak what’s the tare on your van
@@Jm-bp5zw tare is 2680
Hey Derek what was the waiting time in line from order to build for you? Just wondering :-D Cheers
Hi guys, sorry we missed your comment. The wait time is approx 12 months...
@@suelandolt6840 Thank you Sue. Thought that would be the case. Rather fast compared to other brands though. Cheers and happy travelling.
Loved watching this one also good to have you guys back
Just wondering what made you choose this brand ?
Thanks so much. This is massive for us, our first ever brand new van! And really grateful that Vacationer let us share the build with our viewers. So so interesting to watch the process. We decided on Vacationer for a number of reasons, Australian built, value/price, quality products and design of the van and Vacationers willingness to build this to our very specific needs. We asked for so many changes to suit our personal needs and Vacationer were on board and made them all happen. We got industry feedback that it's a good van manufacturer. Will do full reveal and talk through each specific change they made for us and all products/design aspects next week in reveal. Please feel free to hit us up with any other questions.
Why no air bag suspension ?
Airbag suspension is more money and weight .
Why no air bags?
Cost and weight
