Love the tour. Wishing you many enjoyable adventures in your new van. 🙌
Thanks guys we need to come and do a factory tour 😜💯🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks for your comment and support 🤙😎
Excellent van. I can understand why you are so pleased. I'd advise Moving intelligence for alarm and tracker. Always had an excellent service. only ever set off the alarm accidentally and every time I got a text within seconds and a phone call within a couple of minutes afterwards if I didn't respond to the text quickly enough.
Hi David.
Sorry for being late in a reply.
Thanks for the advice.
I’ve gone for a scorpion S5 tracker with a ghost immobiliser from the tracker shop.
Sounds like a similar thing.
Hope you good thanks for your support thanks again 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Very nice….we have a ‘23 68 with pop top. There have been some good modifications/improvements to your model. On ours solar panel mounts on the rear roof( you can fit a small rack on the back), pop top ladder has to be stored in the van or garage, your solution superior and the kitchen draw and cupboards look good and probably better.
We’ve been to Greece twice in ours since we’ve had it…….it’s brilliant - loads of storage and coped really well off grid. The fridge is amazing and uses very little power. Gas lasts ages. Enjoy “it”!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for the sub! Your '23 68 sounds amazing, and it's great to hear about the adventures you've had with it-Greece must have been incredible! I really appreciate your thoughts on the modifications and improvements, especially the pop top ladder and solar panel setup. It's awesome to know how well yours performs off-grid, and I'm definitely excited to make the most of mine too. Thanks again for the support, and happy travels! 🚐✨
You van looks great and well put together. It looks like a winner😊
Thanks so much 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Top class bit of kit ideal for a top class couple ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much brother 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Looks ace you guys! Glad you both love it!! Really looking forward to seeing the modifications in due course 👌💪
Definitely mate can’t wait to get stuck in sort bloody tracker out 1st 🤦🏼🤣 we’ve gone for a scorpion S5 tracker and ghost immobiliser from the tracker shop.
Can get to the mods now 😎
Gonna load ours up this morning after collecting our 68 yesterday, I’ve bought the tracker nano , thatcham s7 approved , which was on caravan guard insurance list , it was £114 pounds from Halfords , comes with a years subscription, and then yearly subscription is £42 , runs on a 2 year battery and also has geo fencing.
All I got to do now is to try and remember how to use the gas etc , our first trip is to the peaks next Saturday.
Have fun guys 👍
The new stereo that auto trail fits , is a pioneer big flat screen , 10 inch I think , plus our camera works through it and you can the camera all the time ,
Cheers for that bugger they wasn’t sure when we ordered the van so we didn’t have it 🤦🏼
For the tracker we’ve gone for a scorpion S5 tracker and ghost immobiliser from the tracker shop 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Awesome nice spot hay thanks for your comment and support 💯🙌 we really appreciate it 🤙😎
Cracking van pal, I’ll see in the flesh soon - when the bike coming out
Cheers pal can’t wait to catch up been to long mate 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻
We use Outsmart the Thief, it’s a Yorkshire company and once fitted it’s £100 for the year. They text you as soon as the alarm goes off to ask if you are with the vehicle. As soon as you say No they start tracking and notify the police. We have set it off loads and had a text within seconds. Nice can by the way 👍🏻
Notifying the police is kind of like peeing in the wind. You need a police to be available 😮
Thanks we decided to go for a scorpion S5 tracker 🤙😎
Thanks for your comment we really appreciate it 💯👌
S5 is fab
Love love love love love it! Think when i get mine i deffo need a garage space but i also like the u shaped rear lounge set up for chillin. Its not gonna be easy. See you in a few days and ill bring my own soap for the shower 😂
🤣 Cheers brother can’t wait to get out in it now 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻
We’ve just added a tracker to ours (don’t know anything about it though😅) Dave will show you next weekend 😅 x
Brilliant vlog as per! Can’t wait to see the van in the flesh ❤
Cheers mate we’ve gone for a scorpion S5 tracker and ghost immobiliser from the tracker shop 🤜🏻❤️🤛🏻 see you soon
We have just come across you on RUclips & Instagram (now following) 🤗
Love your videos - great content which has now made our decision to upgrade from our VW Transporter to a van like yours !!
Quick question, are you able to sleep comfortably in the roof too (being 6ft tall). My hubby is 6ft 2” and also has CPAP machine so wondered how they would work (if at all)
Many thanks, Paul 👍👍
Hi Paul,
Sorry for the late reply.
You should be fine I’m 6ft and sleep sound with ways with a little spare.
As you get in bed nearest the fridge you can remove a cushion that leaves a shelf at the side of the bed.
I put the eco flow on there and my machine on top of that work perfectly.
I’m going to a vlog on it as loads have asked how I get on when camping.
You will love it we do perfect for us mate.
Thanks for your comment always here for any help is I can mate 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures thank you for replying, I really appreciate it 😀👍
That’s great, we will be sure to keep an eye out for this video.
All the best, Paul 👍👍

Awesome van pal 👌 Ive got a scorpion S5 tracker , would recommend , installation about an hour and monthly subscription of £12 but worth it
Awesome cheers mate just ordered one 🤜🏻🤛🏻 see you soon for a few slurps 💯🙌
Jameson the second!!
He’s to much of a legend 💯🙌 gutted to have to sell him.
Thanks so much for your support 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I have a scorpion tracker on my CV40 Ducato and it was a requirement from my insurer caravan guard. The app seems a bit slow to update but scorpion are quick to phone you if you forget to take the tracker fob with you which I did at least 3 times shortly after picking up the van😂. I paid for the lifetime subscription which was around £500.
I have the 9 speed auto and it was very troublesome in the lower 3 gears when I bought it in March this year. My van was an ex show van which I believe may have been trailered to different shows. It had around 60 miles on the clock when it was registered to me. I’ve been told it has a learning Transmission Control Module which if it has had only learnt getting on and off trailers in its first 60 miles. The main problem was severe 3rd to 2nd down shifts which in the end tore the rubber out of the lower engine sway bar. The van was recovered to Fiat professional who claimed the van drove like a dream, yeah right. Anyway a new sway bay was fitted and I was told it has fixed the problem. Now this is where trackers are good. It was in the workshop for a day and a half to fit a part that’s held on by two accessible bolts. I think the TCM was updated because since I’ve picked the van up the gearbox is sublime and operates completely different to the way it behaved before.
Finally I have an underslung gas tank. I’m lucky as I have a garage 7 miles away that I can fill up from. Failing that the next one is 25 miles away. Something to consider when thinking about underslung tanks.
It sounds like you've had quite the journey with your Ducato! I can definitely see how the Scorpion tracker would be invaluable, especially with the issues you’ve experienced early on. I’ve just ordered the Scorpion S5 Tracker with the Ghost Immobiliser from the Tracker Shop, and hearing your feedback about their quick response times gives me some peace of mind. It’s good to know they’re on top of things, even if the app is a bit slow.
That’s interesting about the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and how the van's early miles might have impacted its learning. It must have been frustrating dealing with those rough downshifts, but it’s great to hear the gearbox is smooth now after the update. Your experience with the sway bar shows just how important trackers can be for keeping an eye on what’s really happening when your vehicle is in the shop.
Also, thanks for the heads up about the underslung gas tank. It’s something I’ll have to weigh up, especially with the limited refueling options nearby. I’ll definitely keep that in mind!
Thanks for your comment and support 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I’m really happy with the scorpion tracker and mine is also the S5. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It’s also recognised by most insurance companies I believe.
Enjoyed the video, we are thinking of getting this model, do you find the shower usable, I’m sure it will be fine for me, but hubby is bigger😊 than
Hi Suzy
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes I’m a big guy rugby player build 6ft 17.5 stone and I can shower easily in there it’s tight but perfect for a quick shower.
We love it perfect for us this van 🚐 keep us posted on what you do 🤙.
Maybe see you at one of our events 🤜🏻❤️🤛🏻
Motorhome Matt just done a podcast (think they’re on RUclips too) on trackers and the different types, worth checking out for guidelines on some of the main ones available and what to look for 🤙
Cheers Kevin we’ve gone for a scorpion S5 tracker and ghost immobiliser from the tracker shop 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Cracking van name wise looks like a Jeff lol
🤣 Can’t beat a Jeff 🤣🤜🏻🤛🏻
Double check there is no plastic on those metal oven trays, commonly left on plastic wrap from factory and you don't find out until you turn on the oven 😎
Thanks for the tip found some on a tray 😳🙌🤜🏻🤛🏻😎
Thanks for your comment and support we really appreciate it 🤙
@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures awesome 👌
Cracking van, we ended up looking at them new online also.
I believe the chassis is galvanised, that correct?
So I’ve been told yes of the Facebook groups trying to find out for certain.
So no need to under-seal it, they are great vans for the money well impressed so far.
A lot of van for the money compared to others 🤙
Does the rear lift up or is it fixed
Half of it folds back mate so you can get some bigger stuff in the garage 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Toying with this or ADRIA TWIN SUPREME 640 SGX but the latter is a lot more money , also seen the dreamer sport which has a huge garage but not out yet
We can sort tracker and radio yuf, and you can have rear view and reverse. Might be better with a mirror monitor dash cam for front and rear, then you can use the mirror all the time for rear view, looking back, and then reverse for looking down. #hinthint 😂😂😂👍
Thanks for the suggestion! A mirror monitor dash cam for both front and rear sounds like a great idea, especially for constant rearview visibility and ease while reversing. We’ll definitely consider that setup. We will definitely be in touch to sort out the radio and cameras out. Thanks again! #appreciateit
Yesssssss m8 ❤❤❤❤
🤜🏻🤛🏻
How do bikes fit in the rear area?
They lock into the trays with brackets through the front forks. You have to take the front wheel off and you top and tail the bike to get 2 bikes in one tray 💯👌.
Thanks for your comment and support we really appreciate it.
🤙😎
@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures that make more sense 😅. Enjoy your adventures 😊
Cheers 🤙
Motorhome Matt recommends gps bob for trackers
Cheers dude we’ve gone for a scorpion S5 tracker and ghost immobiliser from the tracker shop 🤜🏻🤛🏻
You need to ask your insurance company which tracker they want fitted as it has all changed with them as they all need one fitted now
Cheers dude we did and decided to go for a scorpion S5 tracker and ghost immobiliser from the tracker shop 🤜🏻🤛🏻
😍😍👌👌👌👌

We’ve put a deposit on a new Knaus motorhome on a crafter chassis. Your van looks great 😊 we looked at loads of van conversions but settled on the Knaus as we want to do more European travelling so will be away for longer periods of time
Thank you so much for your comment! The Knaus motorhome on the Crafter chassis sounds like a fantastic choice, especially for longer trips across Europe. I'm sure it will be perfect for all your adventures, giving you plenty of space and comfort for those extended stays. It’s great to hear you’ve found the right fit after looking at so many options. Wishing you many amazing journeys ahead!
How bout silver lady!! Sleek and lovely..
Oosh nice I’ll see what the boss says thanks we’ve had some great recommendations 💯
🤜🏻🤛🏻
What is the price for this please?
Hi mate we had pretty much all the extras apart from the stereo upgrade ours was 68k
The base van is around 54k main upgrades for the price where the automatic gear box and pop roof.
Still a lot of money but compared to other vans great value we think.
Thanks for your comment 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I use the Auto Trail tracker which is pre fitted £100 year connection fee and you can controle some of the vehicle features from your phone.
Presume it is still fitted to 25 model mine is a 23
Have fun.
Thanks mate really appreciate your comment we have just ordered the scorpion s5 tracker.
We were never told about that being on the van interesting.
Great van. Do you know if you can buy the screen for the rear of the bed? Would love one for our new van when we get it. Thanks 😊
I’m not sure I bet you could make one quite easily great little feature though hope you find one.
Happy adventures when you get your van exciting times 💯🤜🏻❤️🤛🏻
@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures thank you, we have thought about making one. Got a VW California now, going a bit bigger with a Malibu, cannot wait 😀💙
@@michellep5956 awesome 🙌
Name - AXL (Pronounced Axle)
🤦🏻♂XSL PRONOUNCED AXLE
🤙😎
Axel the auto trail
Ha ha awesome we’ve had some great suggestions.
We are going to go over them this weekend 💯🤙
Thanks for your comment 🤜🏻🤛🏻
What an ugly front grille. No doubt it cost less to produce than the previous one.
I love the updated grill, much better looking than the previous gen.
Just my opinion obviously.
Each to their own brother I said the same at first TBF but I love it now.
Looks mean as 💯🤙 it will look cool as penguin 🐧 piss either way with the boat on the back 💯🤙😎
I don't think you said yeah boi once in that vlog 😂😂 it's a good job we aren't playing the Urban Monkey drinking game.🍹🍸🍷🍻🥂🥤🧉

Hope your good mate
