Slowly but surely getting through them 😁

Crazy seeing the kids, and that we'd forgotten so much of what we did ☺️

Yes unfortunately the QC seems to be lacking. It's a shame because it just kinda tarnishes the whole experience.

@@SeekingNatureAus a friend bought one of their campers and even upgraded it to the full offroad spec. Very first trip all the cupboards were filled with dust. They had 12mm hoses going through a 32mm hole. No sealant at all. I am seriously looking to buy a crosstrack because of the weight and width for towing. They do look pretty flimsy, but more strength equals more weight.. I intend to check all the sealing etc if I get one. Overall, how do you rate it? Did you get your issues fixed under warranty? Thx

Overall it's a great van we've been up the oodnadatta track and across SA, thru NSW and it's been fabulous. Yep definitely need to check for dust ingress and deal with that - usual silicone stuff. The leak at the front - known design fault really - has been the biggest issue we had, shower wall had a crack and small stuff like drawer runner but Newcastle dealer has been fab to deal with and sorted everything for us. Like I say just 5% more care on QC at the factory would make such a massive difference. The size weight etc makes them amazing

@@SeekingNatureAus thank you.

They were so close it was pretty cool

It is 😊 beautiful spot (but also probably not clear which park will update 🙂)

We had the old Lifestyle van when we went to Coolah, we haven't actually had the Crosstrak up there. There are multiple culverts that are quite steep/deep, would definitely recommend high clearance. We have seen bigger vans up there staying at The Pines campground.

Thanks, heading up there in May. I'll contact NSWNPWS before I go and get a track update.@@SeekingNatureAus

Hey still with Jayco crosstrak, just that far behind on editing the vids are still the breakaway 🤦🏻

Hey, thank you ☺️. They are individual pieces not a full shell, and the base is separate. If you're on Facebook I'd recommend the owners group, you'll get heaps of good info and can ask questions and see what issues everyone has faced to get an idea if the trak is going to work for you or not.

Hey Stuart .. not sold! Just super far behind on editing 🤦🏻 we love the crosstrak and really should finish filming an update and thoughts on it, Which will likely confuse even more lol

@@SeekingNatureAus Hi That is good to hear, I have one on order, but there is a bit of a wait for it, so I would be very interested in your review and thoughts...I think people really underrate Jayco, I purchased a Discovery outback 2009 pop top in the meantime to get me through while we wait, I think that the Disco is an excellent van as well..

Awesome, yeah the wait is a bummer. If you're not already and are on Facebook the owners group is amazing would recommend joining even though you don't have the van yet.

Cheers for that, thanks 🙏 ☺️

It does seem quite the miss doesn't it. We've wondered the same thing each time we go thru.

@@SeekingNatureAus I mean it's fine for now but in the future it will be more traffic, they're making the same mistake in singleton 😂

We haven't seen the singo one for awhile .. 1 lane there is absolutely crazy

They haven't started the project yet probably another 10 years for one lane each direction 🤣

All good we definitely still have the Crossy .. the TH-cam is very far behind unfortunately ... I need to pull my finger my out and dedicate time to getting more vids out . Thanks for checking in much appreciated 😊👍🏼

Hi.great video. I am looking into starting offroad caravanning. Would like to purchase one with shower and toilet inside. Needs to accommodate 2 adults and a child (+ 2 teens but I think I have the flexibility of sleeping them in swags) Any recommendations?

Hey maybe depending on what size (and budget) the jayco journey outbacks might be work looking at or something like the Forbes/ austrack / mdc I think some of them have internal bunks with combined shower/toilet .. once you've narrower down to a couple most will have an owners group on Facebook and they give you a good insight into any issues to look out for and what people are doing with them which really helped us out in making the final decision to go with the crosstrak . Happy hunting 👍🏼

this one is big enough for the two of us, we didn't want to be towing a massive van when there is only us and it's a very competitive price particularly with the market the way it is at the moment. We don't mind having a tele to watch the footy, watch a movie at night or for days where the weather is bad, guess that's why they are usually optional, everyone's individual choice, appreciate you checking out the video 👍

I will check it out

Loving it - thanks for asking

Thanks so much, it's certainly a stunning walk and area

Thanks Simon. We loved it, but we upgraded last year, was very sad to see it go

How are you finding the crosstrack?

The two trips we managed before lockdown - love it. Can't wait to get away again .. soon .. hopefully 😏

Yeah a few have, there are a few issues with ensuring the gas vents properly in an annexe but it has been done. You can also get a porch that extends off either end to provide more undercover area as well.

@@SeekingNatureAus Awesome, thanks for taking your time to answer! Safe travels

Thanks lovely ❤️❤️

I guess that's the great thing about the market at the moment - there is sure to be something to meet everyone's budget and needs.

Why a rip off? Jayco has 50% market share in Australia. Why would bad vans be so popular?

Agree, whilst they might have their issues comparatively they are fairly priced IMHO hence how we ended up with one.

Thanks 😊 .. I'd say around the 200kg, we're looking to get it professionally weighed in the next month hopefully. We have 300kg/3T capacity but be good to know for sure particularly the left vs right weight as well.

Thanks so much Heather 😊

Thanks for watching. They are a great van and if you're not after the ensuite then either the 13ft or 16ft would be great probably depends on the extra space/length/weight difference between the 13 and 16. If you're on facebook there is a crosstrak group which is great for info, photos and real life experiences of the vans that might help in the decision making process.

@@SeekingNatureAus thanks kindly for the reply, will check out the fb group Safe travels👍🙂

Thanks, yeah they are super little campers. We love the Brookvale, probably along rusty yak line it's not too sweet or gingery .. has become our go to 🍻

@@SeekingNatureAus we love our ginger kid. 8%alcohol. Nice kick.

We haven't tried that one, at 8% we better go easy 🤣

@@SeekingNatureAus trust me it's the bomb.

Currently on FBook Marketplace .. listed as 28,500 ono

Yeah there's quite a few new sections now, hopefully won't be too long before we get to travel them. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

From Harwood to Woodburn is still pretty much under construction with mostly 80km zones ... Will be great once done

For us it's still a bit of mystery, we either took a wrong track or landslides have cut the track. It's on our list to go back and try again.

Did yous go off the side of pinnacles on the left or right

Off the right at the V before you head straight out to the point it goes kinda around and down the rock then it opens up a bit with a path but after that 🤷 we lost the track

Awesome thanks for the info

👍👍 Good luck hopefully you find it

Thanks, it's certainly a great improvement that's for sure

the end, she even speaks!! haha

Haha nope not at all 😂🙊

Cheers

Thanks so much, it is quiet satisfying isn't it 👌

Haha not quite but certainly improving - now to improve the footage 😁😂

It is isn't it! Thanks for watching and commenting 👌

@@SeekingNatureAus You;re welcome. :)

Thank you so much

Thank you

Keep your eyes peeled it's going to be refurb'd

Thanks bud, appreciate your words 👌

Thanks Shan, still a lot to learn hopefully I'll get there 😁😁

Thanks so much for all your comments 🙌🙏

We are very lucky to live where we do, thanks for the sub, have also sub'd yours 👍👍

They're a bit wild in the storms that's for sure, you should do it!
