Excellent setup Steve. Can't wait to head back up to the Murray myself. As an aside, the pulsing light on the battery monitor used to drive us nuts at night until I searched how to turn it (the backlight) off. If you were not aware, press and hold left and right buttons & voila. To turn the light back on, repeat the process. Cheers, Dave.
Ohhhhhh that’s gold.
I’ve just been hanging a jumper over it to cover it up 😂.
Thanks heaps for that.
Great vid as always. We have hired older versions of that van on camplify before and talked about that same battery setup idea. Well done for doing it. We will be up there for our annual boys trip in March, not far from where you stopped, hope the river goes down a little bit before so that our beach and sandbar will be accessible. Keep up the great content
Yeah we hired some before we purchased so we knew what we wanted.
There’s still more to the battery setup to come ( as said in the vid ) but it’s already good having plenty of power in hand.
Looks like a nice spot on the Murray. Congrats on the van, the family will love it.
One of my favorites.
Yeah the wife likes the comforts and Toby doesn’t care 😂
Love the video and may I say you’re editing is amazing
Good stuff mate. Everyone's getting vans these days. More comfort especially for the ladies and kids. You can cook and eat away from the flies. Plus no worries about wild dogs and cattle which my wife is scared of at night.
Haha. Can’t say I’ve ever worried about wild dogs or cattle. I’m sure as hell ganna be now but hahaha.
Thanks for watching.
Great vid mate.
We almost ordered the same van back in December, but we ended up ordering a Hybrid van instead as it suited our needs. Looking forward to seeing you 12v lithium set up, as I will be changing ours over from AGM to lithium as well. I want to be able to run the air con through inverter.
That’s the plan for ours.
I want it to be like it’s on 240v power when offgrid running through the inverter.
I’ve got the same. Another mod for the kids is install some flush mount usb sockets near the bunks/ back bed for the devices!
That’s a good idea. Thanks.
Awesome run down on the van would very interested in seeing how you did all the electrical mods as get our Expanda in June . Keep up the great content
It’s almost all finished so the video won’t be too far away.
Awesome run through. Can’t wait to see how the inverter is plumbed in. I’d like to do something similar.
Yeah the inverter is ganna be the hardest part but I’ll get there.
That’s the last thing I’ve gotta do now.
Awesome van mate
Love the 12 volt setup 🥴🤫
Can’t wait to see the end result 🤙
Good to see your new van, I get mine next month 😀
I like your setup, cudos for going the Victron Smart Solar 👍
Please be careful with the iTech inverter, they are rubbish, a few have caught fire.
Awesome caravan thank you 😁👍
Hi Steve,
first congrates on the new van.
Looking very much forward to see your modifications to the van system.
I see Jayco has scaled down on the fit out overall the models. My Adventurer came fully decked out with all options available during that time in 2019.
But w/o the lithium batteries. Which is ok since in 2022 there are far better things on the market now as you have shown.
3x200A batteries nice size.. well with all the holes in the cab I would be interested in your over pressure system you are going to install later.
Safe trips and keep the sunny side up
Cheers
I’ve been looking into pressure systems to help keep the dust out. Haven’t decided as of yet but I’m sure I’ll share it once I’ve decided.
Thanks heaps for watching and the comments.
@@Australian4x4Adventures yep, been looking too.. since 2 years…
Mine spec system is overkill and to expensive,
Dometic has no fan and is to large outside unit and replacement filter ridiculous expensive.
2000.- + AUD unit with big fan draw to much power and overkill for my 13 foot van.
Could not find a suitable mid size system for reasonable price..
I guess there is a market for it, but nobody go for it to design since the quantity will be not that big.
Your van looks like a Swiss cheese 🧀… so many holes…. No doors over the fridge vent..
Down below to seal is easy.. Sikaflex and plug it all…
Pop tops pump allot I guess and the Jayco little pressure flap in the rooftop 🤪 has NO filter and functions only in high speeds clean air or so?!
Let’s see if something decent and functional comes on the market!
Otherwise keep it simple and clean the van inside after every trip through dust! 🤪 wife not happy for sure. 😆
Cheers
Steve, Nice set up, be perfect when you get a Y62.
🤣. Had to one. 😝
Hi there Steve Iove the video I have the same van just wanted to know we're you got the Power point pop up system for kitchen bench from?
I’ve put a link in the description of the video.
Hey Steve. Great content! It’s nice to see a genuine review of these vans. And smart man “happy wife, happy life”!
Also r u going to the Show and Shine later this month? Had a chat with ya last year and would be nice to see u again! Cheers mate!
Hey mate. Thanks for watching.
I’m hoping to get there but it’s my wife’s birthday that day so I’ll have to see how the day plays out for me.
@@Australian4x4Adventures yeah fair enough. My sons bday the day before so I’m not confirmed yet either. Hopefully we both can make it!
Hi there could you please help in the wire baskets you installed from Ikea what exactly was the product you installed
thanks :)
Not one for caravans, but this is mint. Actually really enjoyed this video.
Thanks mate. Glad you liked it.
Congrats on the new van. Another great vid mate. We love going to horseshoe bend on the Murray with the kids. What’s that place called if I can ask.
ah that V8 LC200 rumble 🥰
I know. It’s bloody great hey.
Good vid Steve. One question mate, where did you purchase the stone deflector please? Also, cheers for the battery discount bloke. 👍
Hey mate.
Got the stone deflector from outback equipment online.
Your welcome re the discount
@@Australian4x4Adventures awesome. Did you have to modify it at all? I have the same van.
With the solar panels & air con on the pop top roof, does it make lifting the roof a little harder?. Excellent video thank you!
I didn’t notice any difference in weight.
Congratulations on the van mate looks awesome hope you and the family enjoy some good travels, without being to cheeky mate that place your camping can I ask what the suburb is called
It’s called Burke’s beach near Yarrawonga.
Nice vid mate!
Thanks mate.
Do you still have this van mate? Hows it going after couple years? Looking at ordering and/or buying one 2nd hand. Anything gone wrong?
Good set up. Can you fold the beds away when they are made up. Probably minus the pillows
I haven’t tried to be honest.
I leave the bed sheets on but pull the doona and pillows off. I’ll have to give it a go with the blankets let on next time.
Awesome looking van & great spot on the river Steve.... Did you say tour instant hot water was on Gas & 12V. I did see it pulled about 6amps when running.. Was that just power draw for the 12v pump ?
It only runs on gas as far as I know. And yeah that 6amps would of been a combo of the lights being on and the pump for the hws.
Are these things colder? Because of the canvas set up
Steve, what was the brand of the 200W solar panels you fitted, I thought you said "Cowes Gear", but Mr Google came up with nothing! Have always enjoyed your reviews of gear, decent tests and an honest opinion. So I am keen to check out these panels on your recommendation. Regards, Mark
Hey mate.
It’s a compony called Kaos gear. So you were close hahahaha.
Thanks for watching as always.
3 way fridge works just fine and I live north QLD. I run fans in the fridge and extraction fans outside, gas bottle lasts a month, and that instant hot water, rubbish. Have a shower and do the dishes at the same time. Makes life interesting. Happy travels. 🛠🛠🍻 buy spare everything for jayco vans.
Well that hasn’t been my experience with 3 ways fridges.
Slow to cool.
Poor performance in humid climates and needing to add aftermarket things to get them work work generally.
So far so good with anything breaking on the van. At least I know there’s a jayco service center anywhere in Aus.
@@Australian4x4Adventures
I’ve had 2 of them. Said the same thing as you. Service centres all over the world!!! Great sales pitch. Service centres can’t help when in the middle of no where. Then the warranty ran out. It’s the most modified van in the industry for a reason, you will find out. ( your first van?) Just trying to help you out. 🙏🏻
No not my first van. Had another jayco prior for 12 years and never had a single issue with it.
Time will tell how this one’s goes.
I’m sure I’ll post about it if something goes wrong hahahaa.
You are going to cost me money.... How good does that caravan look. Also looking at those DCS lithium batteries for my 200. You like them? What inverter and DCDCD do u run as well please. Mike
Hahaha. I cost a lot of ppl money hahaha.
I love the look of the caravan as well which is partly why we went for it.
Yeah the DCS in the 200 is a bloody good thing. I’m hoping the new ITechWorld world battery’s hold up just as well
We own a 2013 single axle pop top Expanda with a/c & one solar panel on the roof. It requires two adults to push up the roof. Can you push yours up with one adult? Thanks for a very helpful video.
Hey hey.
Yeah I can push the roof up by myself no problems at all.
My wife who’s a fair bit shorter and smaller then me struggles a little bit but she can do it.
I'm about to fill my expnda roof with solar similar to you. Did you run them in parallel, and if so, what did you do with the wiring through the roof?
Hey mate.
I ran mine in series and got a bigger solar regulator to handle the higher voltage. Which meant I didn’t have to worry about getting extra wires down through the roof.
For me it was the lessor of two evils.
I’ve currently got a Jayco Journey Outback Poptop on order (similar mouthful to yours!) and have been flat out researching. We’ve opted the compressor fridge and have some iTechworld 120X’s to fit once van is here. Interested to hear how your 12V system goes, sounds like it should be overkill!! Did you consider the Projecta shunt (PMSHUNT) to keep all the add ons monitored through the Projecta screen?
Thanks for watching mate.
I think if you are going full Electic ( fridge- induction cooking - air fryer - Aircon ) then 400 amps is sort of the starting point 600 would be more ideal for running all of that.
But with any system it’s only as good as the solar you put on the roof. You’ve gotta be able to put the power back or it won’t matter how much you can carry.
Nah never even thought about adding another shunt that would go back to the factory projecta unit. May look into.
Hey mate what sika glue did you use to glue down the solar brackets ?
Good vídeo
Thanks mate.
Hey what is the name of the shelving insert from ikea? Did you have to modify it or does it fit straight in? Great idea! Thanks
could you put the link for the pop up power point to buy because i own the same expanda and would love to do the same mod
I’ll add it to the description on the video so everyone can find it.
Mate just made my own 800ah 24v battery 3000w inverter and 2200w solar on my 2022 van.
Total cost of parts 10k
Aircon can run for 12hr with no input from solar
What caravan? I don’t even think I could fit 2200 watts of solar on my roof 😂
@Australian 4x4 Adventures
I built a rack over the hole roof
For an air gap between so, it stays cooler and the aircon and roof is out of the sun, not pot top highline matrix 4x4 van 16ft
You need to fit anti-flap kit mate. Aussie Traveller. At 6.43 Its facing the wrong way. Yes it is but its easy as to turn it around and also to plumb hot water into the sink, which I have done as well WRT hooks: Be wary about trying to remove those stick on hooks. The "veneer" is actually wallpaper stuck onto MDF board. Its shockingly shit idea of Jayco's to save money
What is your reason for using the i-tech world batteries over dcs?
Wanted to try something different. I already know that DCS make a good battery.
I wanted to try something new some Myrna audience get to see what they are like as well
@@Australian4x4Adventures was thinking of getting one for I’m setup
Never really understand roof top solar on caravans. most people with caravans use powered sites, when you are driving you use your car to change batteries and if you are off road you really want to park ( if you can) in shade. There isn’t much time the solar will be in use.
That’s why I added the anderson plug into to solar so I can run a solar blanket out to chase the sun if need be. Best of both worlds.
is the caravan a 17 ft ?
17.5 foot.
@@Australian4x4Adventures it just looks so much bigger , enjoy there a good van i know i had one .
You've changed
My shirt? Because I’ve still got the same set of undies on 🤷🏿♂️😂😂
