Congratulations on a stunning van. Would buy one in a heartbeat. What an asset to have Tofty who has such a good nature and his knowledge on the product is awesome.
Tofty, As I said in my previous comment this is a genuinely great looking van. But when I showed it to, she who must be obeyed the first thing she asked me was where do I hang my cloths? Great outdoor lighting for the front, back and onside but what about the blind side of the van? Cheers Col
Hi Tofty, we like the look of the magnetic storage system, did quite catch the name of the product. Any chance you could share a link please. Pretty excited we pick up our Sojourn from Offgrid on Friday
It is at a convenient height, the shelves are modular too so you can adjust to suit. When you set up camp you lower the airbags all the way down too, so that reduces the height 😊
Hey! Heres a response from Julie from our sales team: NZ customers can buy a caravan without AUS GST as you will have to pay import duties to get it into NZ. NZ customers have shipped vans over in the past from BNE to AKL. This is completely organised by the customer 😊 If you're after more info you can get in touch here: julie.spencer-watkins@zonerv.com.au
This is a genuinely great looking van and ticks all the boxes for adventurous grey nomads except one and that is access to and from this bed. There is just no way the average baby boomer is going to be able to safely answer the call of nature in the middle of the night from this perch. Not to mention tucking it in and making it up. If Zone can do what no other caravan manufacturer has been able to achieve and design a narrow footprint hybrid van with an easily accessible bed, they will be able to attract cashed up baby boomers by the score to what is in all other respects a great little van.
@@anthony-1357 Anthony, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the bed height, but the lack of side access is an issue for those of us who suffer the dreaded D.O.B syndrome. I currently have a full height off road van, but it just doesn’t have the off road versatility of the Expedition. I’d upgrade to a new Zone Expedition tomorrow if my wife could easily traverse the bed. It’s the same reason I wouldn’t entertain an east-west configuration. I believe Zone have proven to be a dynamic and innovative company and if anyone could come up with a design that has the versatility of their Expedition and the access needed by the average baby boomer couple they could. Cheers Col
@ yep I totally understand. I’m not as old, but still prefer getting around a bed too. East west doesn’t work for us as I still need to get up in the night when the kids cry. Not sure of a good solution… I’d actually prefer a bunk so I can have my own bed but the wife would get offended!

Thanks for the kind words Sharyn! We look forward to seeing you in a zone of your own one day 😊
Cant wait
Nice van mate.
Cheers Buck!

Hey guys, how exciting!! 😀 Here is a link to the Silwy gear: silwy.de/en-in?srsltid=AfmBOoqQT48iy5FcPAJeVrBwjfOSqtgz-xABBSTQ8Cu_1IMyQ4p7c-Gh
@@ZoneRV thanks for sharing
the front boot looks good, but as its so tall, is it hard to reach the top shelves?

Can you guys sell to the nz market

Thanks for the feedback, it's always valuable to hear what our customers are looking for!
What’s wrong with it? Are you saying it’s too high? Or is it the lack of side access?
