When is the next video with the electrical review coming?
Only saw a DROP DOWN BED in a motorhome before, thought they were a good idea
then and still do
Thanks 🙏 mate!! It really opens up the space.
Drop down bed. Great video 👏🏻👏🏻
DROP DOWN BED
Hey Guys, Thanks for the awesome videos, I also just watched your previous van tour. Just a question about the wall mounted washing machine, how does it compare to the floor mounted 4kg Camec you had in the old van. I'd love to see a quick video about how it all works. Also how difficult would it be to install one in my van after market or do you need all the pipework plumbed in from factory?
Yep 👍 we actually love the smaller machine! It actually uses a lot less water and is far better of grid when you only need to wash what you need to.
If we want to wash sheets etc we will tend to use a park when we are there.
Drop Down Bed ⬆️⬇️👍
Hey can you tell me how thick the foam is on your lounge ?
My lounge is so hard looking to upgrade the foam. Do you reckon your is comfy ?
Thanks
Fantastic! What awesome people!!!
Code word: Drop down bed.
Can’t wait to get ours :)
Thanks 🙏 we love hearing your kind words!!
Great video! Nice van including Drop Down Bed!
Cool
Awesome set up! Got us looking at upgrade! Especially for the DROP DOWN BED :)
Looking forward to following you guys! Happy Travels X
Love it all, every bit oh and... Drop down bed ❤️😎
❤️🙏
Such a good run down, we have been looking at the royal flairs.
Codeword drop down bed 🤙
Yeah we love the bed and was the main reason we went this way with our first van.
DROP DOWN BED is the bomb and the reason we got a Royal flair van!
Also the review on your last van is the reason we got a Royal flair van😊
Thanks 🙏 Kate! That is so good to hear!
It is really something special especially for people that want that extra space inside 😄
Your "Drop down bed" is phat ✌️ noice review..love your van and your wheels
Good on ya and enjoy your week 👌❤️
Great video, btw you have beautiful azure/purple eye color.
Amazing vid guys. We loved it. We have the dropdown king in our razor and have just ordered a new razor with the drop down king. Hard to go past it.
with all the power you have running on there what's your battery storage like?
Thanks for the tour! You guys are the reason we are ordering a new van, that DROP DOWN BED!!!!! Van looks great, enjoy and hopefully we'll actually meet one day.
Thanks 🙏 guys!!! We love ❤️ it
would love to learn more about how much solar you have to run the van in this way. Very very cool!!! Love the bed
*drop down bead
Hey mate we have 1600 watts with 65volt panels! Will cover of more in detail when we cover the battery system.
Hey guys, just a quick question. How long is the van? Looking at something similar and got told a 21-22ft body would be more than enough?
Hey mat its a 21’6ft plus drawbar
Have you put out your battery system and solar panel video yet? Keen to see it pretty please
Drop Down Bed
Amazing set up guys, love watching you for inspiration, can't wait to join you all out on the road 👋
Thanks 🙏 and appreciate the message!
Loved the video guys. Still not 100% sold on the drop down bed but OMG it’s so big!!
Can’t wait to see the next video 😎
Thanks 🙏 mate and the bed isn’t for everyone. Being in it Fulltime gives us room for school work, work and just relaxing when we don’t want to be outdoors!
Thanks again and enjoy your weekend!!
Drop down bed
Have been looking forward to your update review of the Eco Mate since you first got it, thanks guys!
Any idea when RF will go into production, am keen for a smaller size and tare weight just for a couple as the Drop Down Bed will give us plenty of room. Can’t wait for your next vid on the electrical 👍
Mate it is definitely something that would be sooner over later but again it’s also wanting to ensure there is enough supply of necessary parts in this tough manufacturing climate we are in!
Great video guys. absolutely LOVE the DROP DOWN BED !!! Amazing use of space.
Question, do you have a TV? Or do you use screens/laptop?
Hey guys, we opted for no TV as we only ever use iPads and our MacBooks.
It just seemed like extra weight for no purpose 👍
We hope you guys are well
@@freetoexplore yep cool makes sense. We only seem to use the tv for movie nights
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 guys you have won a Companion 40ah Rover Battery Pack. Contact us at hello@freetoexplore.co to claim.
Hi, love your review. Quick question, did you leave in the speakers and only remove the TV?
We have the speakers in there for the stereo system
Congratulations on your new van great to see you again we are big fans of yours safe travels 🤗🤗🤗
👌 Thanks so much
Apart from the solar and lithium setup, that DROP DOWN BED looks absolutely amazing!!
Thanks 🙏 legends appreciate it!!!
@@freetoexplore now I (the cool & funny hubby of the Fam) Just have to convince the wifey to go with a composting toilet 🚽! Help change her mind before the build starts! 🤞🏽🙏🏽
Killer way to see the country best setup I’ve seen👏👏
Cheers mate appreciate it 🙏
Fantastic van build. We are thrilled to have our Sirocco fans installed so you can adventure in comfort.
🙏 TY guys when the weather warms up they are on 24/7 😂
@@freetoexplore Thank you!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Stunning van, thanks for the tour guys.
Appreciate the comment 😍
Loved it- you two are hilarious
Just ordered ours today 😊

That is mint 👌🏻
How do you make the king bed, ie. getting around it?
We only had a fitted sheet and a duvet so just laid it out in morning. No need to make it properly as its up away on the roof during the day
The ‘DROP DOWN BED’ is such a great use of empty space.. Maybe when I win lotto 😜
The biggest reason we went this way! not always do you want to be outside!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 guys you have won a Companion Performance Cooler. Contact us at hello@freetoexplore.co to claim.
@@freetoexplore wow awesome! Thanks so much guys 👏🏻
Love the "drop down bed" bed in these vans 🤙
Not when you have to pull the roof off to repair it

DROP DOWN BED
Great video, Awesome Van. What is the empty weight of the van?
Drop down bed
Cheers.
Mate it’s 3.1t Tare with 4t ATM
So much money tied up in this car/can set up. No wonder you want everyone to look at you while you travel.
Thanks princess! Appreciate your kind words 💓
Beautiful van! What brand of compost toilet did you go with? And what hot water system have you got running in there? Thanks!
We ended up with the Sunmar GTG but not 100% happy with it. Its better than a cassette but think there are better ones out there.
@@freetoexplore Thanks for responding :) Haven't seen that one advertised in Oz yet!
Only 2 drawers for your stuff hey. 🤣🤣
Great vid guys. Cheers.
DROP DOWN BED
The sacrifices the blokes make 😂
@@freetoexplore 🤣
Love the king size DROP DOWN BED. I thought all vans have queen beds so I am super excited for this.
Definitely a game changer when you love ❤️ a big bed
Love this van!
Thanks legends, how's Covid going 😂
@@freetoexplore not the best! But back on the road now and getting better slowly.
