    Hey Sarah and Keelan my wife and I love your van
    We have bought 5 vans and we travelled around for 5 years abd we had a ball.
    Love all your videos and you have got this down pat and your expertise is on display for anybody to view and this alone is quite daunting.
    This is one thing you don't have to worry about because all the videos have been edited like a professional.
    Keep Safe and keep Smiling and keep on Living your dream .

    @kingstonrose3431 Год назад +5

    Watching your walk through great looking van, one thing you may have trouble with is the spares blocking the tail lights. Don’t quote me I’m sure you have to be able to see the lights from a 45 degree angle.

    • @SarahandKeelanTravels
      @SarahandKeelanTravels  Год назад

      Thanks legend!! Think that’s why the XTreme model comes with the tail, indicator and brake lights up high aswell.

    • @bradworthington8594
      @bradworthington8594 Год назад +2

      Even though you have lights at the top of the van, It wouldn't take away the need of the lower lights to have no obstruction, I am interested to hear how Urban got around the fact that the lower lights that MUST be fitted no more than 1500 mm from the ground are still partially obstructed by the spare wheels and then allowed to be registered....Bloody nice van, nice and open plan, excellent size for two people.

  • @iandibley8032
    @iandibley8032 Год назад +1

    Hi Guys, the Urban looks well thought out, a well-built package, a very practical size, and weight for the tighter more challenging tracks. Yeah, I don't know if I am totally sold on the composting dunny, but it will be great to see how it goes for you both... Yeah, sitting is not might be my favourite method of operation, but see how you go using it. Sandgropers with reportedly over sized tackle might struggle.😁 With the Weber Q, there is a problem with gas compliance if connected to bayonet fitting on the van as the Q doesn't have a flame failure device fitted, e.g., Flame blows out gas keeps flowing ,I believe Weber selling a Q with flame failure sometime in 2023 silly part about the regulations it is legal to operate from a gas bottle. I fitted a FFD to my Weber it can be done. I am looking forward to your 2023 travels.

    Love your videos and this one too. I also had the BabyQ Weber but was recently told that if you plug it into your bayonet fitting, you are no longer insured as it doesn't have the flame cut out device. apparently the only the Bbq in Australia that is insurance approved with plugging into the bayonet is the sizzler brand

    • @SarahandKeelanTravels
      @SarahandKeelanTravels  Год назад +1

  • @the_zeplin_maker
    @the_zeplin_maker Год назад

    Nice looking van guys! Some good decisions. I'm not a big fan of the composting dunny (comes down to each individual I know) and I love my continuous hot water which is a step up from the normal tank system, but it looks really good and nice little compact van for 2 people. Well done and enjoy.
    Also Eco mode is not a kill switch. The isolator switch is under the bed (black switch). It only isolates some of the BMPro connectors. For example it won't turn off the Odyssey and it won't turn off the fridge. It's mainly used for turning off water pumps. We don't use it anymore and just turn off the water pump icon on the screen when travelling or when at home as that's easier. We also always leave the lights on the Odyssey...no point in turning them off ever so Eco mode doesn't really offer much.
    Also I mentioned in a comment below, your Weber is not legal unfortunately. If it's on a slideout tray, even if it's connected to a gas bottle and not bayonet, it's still illegal. It has to be completely removed and put on a separate table. Silly rule but that's what it is. I've had a Weber Q, Ziggy and sizzler deluxe. Swap for the sizzler deluxe marine if you can, it's 50 times better than the Weber, trust me! And fully compliant with flame safe as well

    Hi Keelan, Sarah.
    Watched presentation of van, you're keeping me envious, good luck to you both.
    Love the concept of keeping the 12v simple. Now seriously, I am truly envious of 600amps, compared to my single 120X Itech, but not running A/C just the simple 240 coffee m/c, toaster, toothbrushs etc.
    One thing I'll offer you to consider.
    Water hoses stored coiled up are a pain when required, just loop and become trip hazard.
    Run full chassis length PVC 35mm tubes inside of chassis rails, secured to chassis. Blank off at rear of van, mould (with heat gun) a slight upwards bend at the front to stop water/sullage hoses from coming out in transit. Now cut hose to length, fit connector to each end and slide into tube/s.
    Now when you need hose, simply grab front end and rip it out, whalla, the hose lays flat on ground, need more length, grab another and click together. You'll be amazed how people will stare in amazement when you pack up and the hose just keeps disappearing under your van.
    I have 3 X 6 metre lengths of both water/ sullage stored under mine, 18 metres is good.
    Oh, you just freed up storage of coiled hoses on the rear also.
    Keep me envious, love it. ♥️👍👏👏

    One thing to be aware of is you may not be insured if you connect your webber bbq to your vans gas outlet. The webber is missing a saftey feature which is why most insurance companies are not insuring you if you bbq burns down your van. Standalone gas bottle is fine however.

    Awesome set up guys! ... Well done!
    We would certainly look at Urban if they were prepared to do a toy hauler version, but they weren't very interested when we spoke to them last.
    In the interim, we chose to do an itech world 800ah retrofit on our existing van.... very cost-effective solution, but have a few warranty issues to resolve at the moment.
    All the best and safe travels.

    Absolutely love it guys! What an amazing looking van. Perfect size. Interested to hear why you opted for the L-shaped lounge over the cafe dinette? Also, I'm not sure I would like the battery system under the bed - but that's just me. Sunland do a great battery/12V system hatch on the back of the van that I really like. Otherwise would prefer under the lounge. But I guess, as you say, it all comes down to best distribution of the weights. Even though it's in a bad position for dust, I do prefer the rear door over the centre door, so that you have quick access to the fridge & loo from outside, and not constantly coming in past the bed. Interested to know the weights - TARE/ATM and what its actually weighed in at now that you've put all of your stuff in? Bloody amazing set up now, the van looks good on the back of the 200, looks a really good fit between tug & van. Well done, so happy for your both.

    • @SarahandKeelanTravels
      @SarahandKeelanTravels  Год назад +1

      Thanks legend!! The reason the battery system is under the bed is like you said for that distribution so it tows well, also really accessible if I need to access it, I don’t have to go outside, it’s a sealed space too, so many reasons to put it there! We chose L shape because we flipped the layout, cafe seating is great on the awning side however if you flip the layout cafe means your not looking at your view side. Tare normally on a van like this is 2.7t with 3.5t ATM. We have some weight savers and some not so weight savers in testing so our weights will be different to every other van urbans made. But we are well within weight and under our GCM 🙂

    So happy to see this episode showing your new caravan Sarah & Keelan. We’ve been waiting to see it and share in your excitement! Love everything about it and well done for explaining the layout inside and out so well. We are still travelling and in country NSW at the moment. Our van has many of the same features as the Urban but no air bags this time. We don’t go off road much these days so can manage without them now. Look forward to sharing in more of your travels and fun times. Hope we can come across you some time! Jim’s next project to save gas is to use the excess voltage above 14.3 to run the fridge and or hot water tank.
    Kate & Jim. 😊 PS what have you named this van, Keith Urban 2?

      Keeling / Sarah awesome van , well done. Keeling I am really concerned on your 35 amp charger ( re heat generation ) - you have 600 amp battery system which is great but when you are in winter conditions and you have very little input from solar I am concerned you will overtax your 35 amp AC charger. I have been a electrician for over 30 years, I hope you have a thermal cut off on your charger, be aware that if they are running at 100% all the time you will get internal breakdown which will result in voltage spike issues. Please don’t think for a minute I am bagging you out my friend, just passing on some long term experience. Your van is incredible well laid out and well planned out. I cannot wait for your new adventure to begin.

      I’ve learnt most of it in my 4 year apprenticeship and studying it, so it all depends on if you want a general understanding or if you want to study 12v / ELV extra low voltage specificity. If you don’t care about 240v AC and just want 12v dc knowledge then RUclips is perfect way to learn!

    The Van looks Sick guy’s, great job putting this all together, & the vid & run down on it all, interesting to see how it all works out. Really like the whole design & manufacturing processes too in ur last ep.
    Ur 12v system does look awesome, & price sounds pretty fair too. I have a 24v 3kw AIO system in a 12m Bus on a property up north with 10kwh lifepo4 & 2.5kw of PV’s, it works well, but using the coffee machine & micro at same time can trip the inverter sometimes, so I generally use these separately, but I can run a 2.5kw split aircon & micro together ok & the inverter aircon only uses 100 - 500 watts at night after 10-15 minutes ramping down from 1000-1200w initially. Love ur setup guy’s, well done, what a life, stay safe & Cheers

If I had your roof realestate in the bus I would have a similar setup I think! Sounds like you need a bigger inverter haha 😂 we are the same though, can’t run much with the coffee machine on! Love the sound of 2.5kw of solar haha 😂 that’s amazing!! I love chatting electricity haha
