Ultimate Hybrid Caravan For Active Grandparents & Small Families | 2024 Jawa Retreat Bunk
So we didn't expect to even enjoy testing out this @jawaoffroadcampertrailers7687 Retreat Bunk, as it isn't the type of van that we would look at in our situation. We actually fell in love with this van and also found the perfect spot in the market for it- If you're active grandparents who love touring as a couple, but do have the grandies every now and then, this is the van for you!!! Dee especially loved the inside layout and the bunks didn't get in the way of making this van an awesome tourer. We took it down to the eastern end of the Murray River and did some solid 4x4ing into an awesome and secluded camp site. Check out how it went!

    Hey mate I’m nothing that quite a few vans that you show on your channel have that matte/satin finish. What does Jawa recommend to do with cleaning the vans? Especially, when you get bird dropping on the paintwork? I’ve noticed that many channels don’t talk about this topic and I’ve met owners out on the road with vans where there are many stain left behind because of birds. This includes me. I have a brand new Ezytrail with the same finish as this one on this video. And the birds have destroyed the paintwork. This could be a good topic to raise on your next video. By the way. Good channel mate

    Your videos are excellent, and you’ve built a successful channel with a significant audience, making you a standout creator. From watching many of your videos, I’ve noticed that the hooks tend to feel a bit slow, and there seems to be a lack of catchy, branded thumbnails. Focusing on these two aspects could greatly improve your average views and click-through rate, which I believe would significantly boost your impressions.

      Thanks! We need to replace our hoses at some stage as they are still stiff and not very flexible after 2 laps! They were Camec hoses and whilst durable and do their jobs, they are just painful. Not sure what to recommend. We use an Oz block’n’chock kit and it’s been very good. A bit like Lego so can build out all sorts of platforms and chocks. We actually sold our original van when we finished our first lap as we have a standard house block and with two sons who are both tradies and live in girlfriends, we already have 7 cars, a work van and tool trailer to fit!

First I use the air compressor to blow as much sand out of the chassis and under the car as possible (obviously easier when everything is dry). After that, I’ll move a sprinkler around underneath to get the water in as many places as possible. I then use a chassis rail attachment that one of the kids got me for Christmas a few years ago. This gets soapy water into the inside of the rails to flush any sand or salt out. Then gernie the underbody. Then wash the car….

    Have you ever needed the 2nd spare, and are they same wheel stud patter as your vehicle? And are the slide bars structural or for protection? Saw another off road with the sliders removered and rapter coating rather than the checker-plate. I'm guessing a couple hundred kg saved? The van looks great - so much more storage that vans I've only hired for weeks at a time but still... lighter is better...

      We have used a second spare when travelling full time, however knowing I had a second spare meant I didn’t replace in say Kununurra where they sting you more, waited until we got to Darwin. As for stud pattern- yes it matches, but rim offset and rolling diametre is out. Could be used at an absolute pinch to limp back to civilisation. I don’t think you need two spares if only doing trips in school holidays etc. as for the rocksliders- there for protection and can be easily removed. I’d say it would save you 70-80kg at an estimate

    Ha ha ‘you’re so good at it’ I say this to my partner 😂 New sub here, I’m Dora from Brissy area, just started uploading my adventures. So thanks for the inspiration. Just posted on Carnarvon gorge for a video competition. Did you guys enter the Royal flying drs outback explorer comp?

    Love all the waterfall action. The sounds of the water running is so relaxing and drawing you to visit one. Nice video

    Thanks @empty_nestadventures for these videos - really help in getting to a "short-list". In the Jawa website description it mentions a folding bed...can you please explain why folding and at what point of the bed length is the fold?

      @@RTILead hey, no worries, it is a beautiful van. In terms of the mattress, I remember the Sirocco Grande being a single piece mattress, but we were in a prototype version and sometimes these things change. I’ll see if I can get the team to update me, but they are frantically working on the grand opening of their Perth site. Might take a few days to get a response

    The only thing I would be concerned with this system is the standard of the circuitry, from experience this is something that needs a lot of improvement in the vans
