This is honestly the best van review I’ve seen; no waffling on, straight to the point - a real user insight. Thanks so much guys this was great! :) love the van.
Hi.I recently subscribed to empty_nestadventures because my wife and I recently bought a hybrid Van similar to yours. We took our van out for 4 days to test down to Port Fairy to test it out and we could not of been happier. I love the honest reviews and took on board the hacks that you had on another video and I will use them for camping next time. E.G. Crock bin, the sullage hose fittings and the fusion-loc and the things you did looking after the van. I hope we get just as much enjoyment out of our little van the same way you do. Keep up the good work and my best wishes, safe travels and of course my love to the both of you. Well done.
Yay I have been eagerly awaiting this one! Thanks so much for running through the van, I wrote down so many of the tips for when we get ours. I also struggled to think about when I might use the outdoor shower, but perhaps on a hot day you don’t want the moisture inside the van, not sure. I had been thinking of upgrading to airbags (to help with levelling) but you might have convinced me not too. Glad to hear about your experience with Jawa as a company, it’s one of the main reasons I chose the infinity 13. So many similar vans but Jawa just seem like a good company to work with. Looking forward to watching your travels!!!
Thanks for your informative review. We are looking to get a hybrid & discovered the Jawa range yesterday. Really interesting to hear what you had to say which further confirmed to us that Jawa will be our brand of choice to go with.
I’m actually working on a 7 month, 30000km review of the van, but the short answer as to if we are happy- ABSOLUTELY! Jawa is one of the best companies we have ever worked with. They bend over backwards to help their customers long after they have your cash. We did a few upgrades that weren’t needed, but a few that were worth their weight in gold. We have pushed the van hard and it has stood up to all of them
Great wrk and advice guys😊 Keep it up awesome 👏 Wife and I are looking to start travelling more and enjoying our great nation 😎😄😊 looking into hybrid’s as we love the off the grid camping potential 😊 Enjoy your guys knowledge and tips for us beginners 😊😊 Keep up the great work guys Johnny and Giovanna😊😊😊
Hi mate. Feel free to check out the other 4 Jawas that we have lived in and tested. Jawa vans have been really strong in all the situations we’ve pushed them thru.
This is a great review and super informative, well done! I can see that your clearly respect your van and keep it extremely clean and tidy. We are looking at one of these but have concerns about the accumulation of dust that collects at the back on dusty roads. What’s the van like when you extend the back section after heading down a gravel road? I would appreciate your comments as you both look like you are fair and honest.
Hi Steve. Sorry for the slow response, been on the Gibb River Rd with no coverage. We have a dometic dust reduction system and it works almost unbelievably. Compared to the car, I am amazed at how little duct has come into the van. Can’t comment on what it was like without the DRS, as it’s been on since new. Highly recommend them. The GRR is an about 600km of dust and none in the van!
@@empty_nestadventures That’s very reassuring to know. I have seen a lot of videos on DRS and it’s appears to be a must have. Actually after your comments it’s no longer an option, it’s a must have. Vans are not cheap and resale value is important. Plus happy wife means happy life :)
Hi guys thanks for the video some great tips you gave. Where did you get the roof shower head holder and did you install yourself and if so how easy is it to do? Thank you 😊
To this spec (few upgrades), $59K. I also have to say, Jawa’s after sales service is diamond level. I called them Monday with some damage after a storm- parts received in Perth on Friday…. They are brilliant

I should have told you first. My wife and I have a Jawa Infinity Escape 15 on order with delivery by August hopefully.
Great set up Ant & Dee. It was great meeting you both at Warultee Beach. Look forward to following your travels. Enjoy.
Great walkthrough with some extra tips that we'll use thanks. Cheers and happy travels
Really enjoyed the walk through guys. Looking forward to watching your travels!

What a van! Great set up guys!
Thank you great review! I’m thinking this might be the van for us!
6 months into our trip and we love it more everyday!
@@empty_nestadventures very envious! Hope you are having an awesome trip!
Great review 👏👏👏👏
Good job team.
Thanks guys we are looking at the 15 and was wondering about the import side of things but seems like JAWA have thought of the Australian conditions

Sweet little van. You guys must of had kids young if they are out of the nest already. Cause you don’t look very old. 👍
We’ll take that! Oldest is 21 and youngest is 19. We were in our early 20’s, but worked out perfectly to be able to travel when fit and healthy
Hi guys thanks for the video some great tips you gave. Where did you get the roof shower head holder and did you install yourself and if so how easy is it to do? Thank you 😊
It was included in the van on handover!
HI guys, fantastic review. Can I ask you where you got the pantry arrangement on your fridge slide?. Fantastic idea and great use of area. Cheers.
Hi Jason. This setup is standard in the Jawa. It works so well…. I actually haven’t seen something like this aftermarket, but sure someone would do it
Great video guys! Where did you buy the can tops? I got some different ones from Tentworld but yours look like they will be better to store.
At a little kitchen shop called Dish n’ That. It’s at Capalaba Park shopping centre… not sure if they are a franchise or not
@@empty_nestadventures cool, thanks!
love the box on the fridge slide but how do you open other half of fridge or does slide come out further ,loving your vids
The back drawer of the fridge doesn’t 100% open all the way. Just undo both clips and take lid off. Weird at first, but easy now
Did you upgrade the bearings prior to delivery . Thanks in advance,
Yes we did. Also have a spare set to travel with
Hi mate the bearing upgrade is standard across the range I believe
@@Lime-Spider1959 I contacted Jawa re the bearing upgrade. They charged me $250 extra on my invoice which I am happy to pay.
@@rosswaugh3828 Ok thanks for the info. I was lead to believe it was a standard upgrade I'll have to check if ours were done.
Can you hook to the smart tv via blue tooth without internet
Not sure. We didn’t try that and have sold this van now.
I like the look of this, great video, how much was the van?
To this spec (few upgrades), $59K. I also have to say, Jawa’s after sales service is diamond level. I called them Monday with some damage after a storm- parts received in Perth on Friday…. They are brilliant
@@empty_nestadventures I see they do an orange one a bit cheaper but same size, did you look at that?
@@seandunn3116 yes, but as it is lower, there is less internal storage. Good van, but didn’t suit us for long term travel
