What we have always liked about you guys is your honesty. You guys are straight shooters, whether it’s an issue with the manufacturer or self inflected, you alway put ya hand up. It’s great that Urban Caravans have great after service and supporting you guys all the way. As always, best wishes, safe travels. Cheers TonyNDawn
Thankyou guys! This is what we strive for honestly!! Urban are great to deal with! They have great service and warranty which we love!! Thanks legends we really appreciate you both 🤙🏽🍻❤️
Great to see you are enjoying your adventures. I suggest you go round you van and check the little things .The loose locking system always find a way of disappearing carry spare bits and places always store tv away .Good to hear the Manufacturer is looking after stay safe enjoy your journey 🍻
You guys are so lucky. Definitely be looking at Urban for our next van. Bought a brand new van from Bunbury Avan last year, worse customer service after sale. The van flooded due to pipes not being sealed up. The laminate is pealing off the cupboards. At purchase we were told that our local caravan place can fix any issues. When I called them up they wanted us to drive 500km to them to get it fixed. As they don’t use our local guy. So ended up paying for the repairs myself on a 4month old van.
We are for sure!! We reccomened urban to friends and family and honestly love there brand, ethos is all about customer satisfaction which we love! We had a similar experience with our first new van! We know exactly how you feel and feel very sorry for you it’s such a horrible way to feel like you have been ripped off! Let us know if you ever want more details on an urban, we can put you in contact with the right people! Thanks
Just found your page. There's a lot of good information here. I'm looking at doing some exploring myself in the next few years. Will be watching intently.
Duing covid I undid every screw inside our van and put a dob of wood glue on each screw. Shower door locks I put lock tight on the screws. Makes it corrugation proof to a large degree.
Thanks for the update! Nothing there to put me off the Urban that's for sure. I love that Urban actually want you to stress test the van, that's gotta only mean good things. Look forward to welcoming you guys to Victoria. Don't forget the Bass Coast! Our only little piece of paradise. :)
Hi Guys yes we take our TV off and store also. I use product called Trex bond it used to build composite caravans insanely strong may be good on the threads on the cupboard struts. That's is good service from Urban, travelling service is everything. 👍
Thanks Ian! Appreciate it mate, we did know this but we should of specified in the video we were just being lazy! Thanks for the advice and yes that’s epic we will try that! Screws arnt flogged out yet but if they ever do I’ll use the good stuff haha thanks mate
Hey guys not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet but your struts in your cupboards are installed upside down, the piston rod should be facing down to keep the seal lubricated should just be a couple of clips and turn them around. Same thing in our ocean breeze caravan.
Awesome video like always. If thats the “problems” you are dealing with thats amazing. 100% confident they will look after you when in Melbourne. We cant wait for our Urban to be delivered. Love your work
Threaded metal inserts into wood are the go. You can get them from joinery shops. They're cheap as well. You could use Loktite then, using bolts into the metal threads🇦🇺
Lost the same nut off the awning on my van got a new one from the dealer and fitted it back my self but to stop it happening again I drilled a hole throw the thread and put a little butter fly clip on to stop it ever fulling off again.
Places to visit in vic - Warrnambool, great ocean road, into Breamlea bay. You will wanna do the mount Oberon lookout at Wilsons prom and go into the high country
I always travel with a tube of silicone seal, if your have nothing else, put a little on the ends of bolt's to stop them rattling lose, works for car, 4x4, trucks, also TV hanging on walls, every body has this problem people tie them to the wall or take them off, also liquid nails is a good thing to have, # bunnings, great vid as we all have something that goes wrong, cheers 🍻 👏
Thanks mate yeah got a couple tubes of different colours in the back haha I love the saying “do your best and silicone the rest” that’s what we use to say on site, I’m sure you’ve heard that one hahaha #bunnings 😂😂🤙🏽 thanks mate
Done Done and Done. Fingers crossed for this one guys. Love how your reviews are honest and you don’t sugar coat or hide what has gone a tad wrong, but you both know that I love you for this honesty. Keep on bringing great content so we can keep watching your adventures. Fingers crossed we win that battery. Just a small tip, always take the TV off the mount when traveling to avoid the issue you’re having now. 😔
When i bought a new Coramol in 2017 and they told us to remove the tv off the bracket put in a small bag or child sleeping bag and FACE up on the bed or under it and the tv and bracket still going strong.
If ya going into vic hit bonnie doon caravan park. Nice spot setup on the waters edge atm with the water up as high as it is. Not a secret spot but its a beautyful area.
Another great episode. Ive loved watching your time in SA and cant wait to get over there to check it out. You've really highlighted the beauty of SA. A couple of recommendations for Vic would be Johanna Beach, Lake Elizabeth, Erskine Falls, Wilsons Promontory & of course the Vic High Country x
Vibration can bring down a skyscraper, so take it seriously. I agree with all of the helpful comments already made. If you are doing a lot of teeth chattering corrugations, it pays to spend just 20 mins under the van, and tow vehicle, every now and then with a torque wrench just making sure that your substrate is secure. It is an easy job with the clearance that you have got. If it is all OK, all your problems will be cosmetic. Good work and good luck.
Thanks mate we take it very seriously! All about tyre pressures too! That’s very solid advice thanks and will make sure to pass it on to everyone in a video soon! Cheers 🤙🏽🍻
@@SarahandKeelanTravels I am looking at getting back into traveling now I have retired I'm enjoying your content immensely as last van I had was 1974 a lot has changed. Cheers Steve.
Great honest review Looks like all minor issues Wiki camp subscribers most don’t have vans in tow so best to read between the lines Interested to know if you have dust problems in the van?
Thanks mate! Haha yeah that’s it mate take it with a pinch of salt! No dust what so ever! It’s a sealed unit and every hatch door is sealed to which is great! We don’t even really need to use our dust suppression fan!
Great PR for Kogan TV's. Yeah, Keith was a good choice of van. I have a new kitchen I have to tighten a few screws sometimes and that's with no corrugations:) haha. Keeping it real and being a true blue, that's why I love u's & your channel. 🤙🏼
Hahaha not sponsored hahaha 🤣 yeah that’s it mate! Bit of superficial stuff isn’t too bad! Thanks mate really appreciate the support Malcolm. Thanks for being a local on the channel 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Can you add a product like Loctite blue. Used on locking threaded metal to metal threaded items.Is there a screw into wood to lock the screws for corrigations.?
So Keith is ALL Country not so ERBAN no Kidding-Man ! Tell it like it is guys 👍 ya Rocken that Van and your shakedown is Top Notch .keep up the Honest posts , tip on the wood screw stripped holes find a box of redhead matches and stick the non-redhead end of match in hole break off and put back screw and well screw in tight it will get ya out of trouble . I know a lot of screwing 🔩 cheers 🍻🍻
Hahah that’s it mate not too much urban about Keith haha 😂 thanks legend!! We will keep calling spades a spade! Sick, cheers mate I never knew this will have a crack! Thanks again Paul for being a local on the channel
Great video and top advice at the end guys..! Could you review the outside kitchen at some stage and highlight any good and bad points about it ? Cheers
Such small lil probs so great to hear and see eh . Knew it would be a great choice . Great vid as usual . Informative and honest . That’s why we love watching you as your real and there is no figjam shit from ya like some others on TH-cam. Stay natural forever and keep putting out the vids so regularly and even longer of your travel stuff . 😎👍
That’s it Darline, very small issues and we are very happy with the product! Seems to be pretty well bulletproof! Thankyou that means a lot to hear that because it’s exactly what we strive to be like thanks legend means a lot 🍻🤙🏽❤️
just a few problems Keelan, what you do with a caravan most people would take ten years or more what you have done in four months, just maintenance, travel safe
I can see it's not a Titanium LOL u know where that came from see the state of the flyscreen as well.You guys are looking well sorry we won't be at the show but still looking forward to the catchup
thank you for the detailed video a cray small bottle of wood glue and use a little bit of screw as fix some problem for other get lose screw use wife nail polish on the nuts to fall out why travel on the road as may fix some problems
Thanks for watching Robert! Great advice mate I will grab a little bottle for sure!! Nail polish!! I wonder what your wife thinks of you using all her nail polish haha sarah would kill me! Thanks for the advice mate
You can break of a couple toothpicks or matchstick in the screw hole with a dot of Gorilla glue or liquid nails. This will grip and hold your screws in better.
We have the same van, noticed your door opens the oposite way to ours, and ours hits the awning arm when it's opened, is that somethingg you've changed? Thanks for all this advice, it's great to hear and see how it's holding up!
Tv should always be placed on the bed when travelling, especially if traveling off-road. With the awning screw typically it’s because it wasn’t tightened properly when last stowed. To say it’s a problem with the van is disappointing as both these issues I would say is user error.
Thanks David for the heads up. Regardless of who’s fault it was this is our experience with the van so far. We love the van and think it’s holding up to our punishment nicely. Very happy customers! Thanks for your expert feedback
mmmmm lots of roof insulation installers had ABN's . and what a cluster f$%k that was......I get the warranty but repairers in any industry vary....is there a scoring system ( probably google reviews these days ) in this area rather than advert and ABN ?
Just because you have an ABN dosnt mean your good at your job! Totoally get it mate but the good thing is the service that allows you to pick who ever you want! Not to sure about the scoring but that would be good! I think google reviews is stars out of 5
The front step actually fowls on the leg but we can remove the leg as there is no secure bolt on the back legs mean it’s out in 1 second flat! That was designed like that to combat exactly the issue of departed
I would have thought that the biggest issue was the Van filling up with Sand being blown in through the Air Vents in the Top of the Canvas. I know you were pissed about that because you couldn't stop it :-/ :-/ :-/
Yeah that’s not so much Urban’s fault though, that day on the beach was howling and to meet gas regulations you need to have vents! It’s a tough one that!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels A design change is needed then brother, My pop up camper van i had to have installed a breather in the Roof to allow gases to escape , maybe a better option than in the canvas where it currently is, It's all RnD at this stage so all feedback and a modification just might save it happening to someone else in the same situation ( 1 in a Million chance lmao ) Stay Safe and Safe Travels you two
@@SarahandKeelanTravels On Nulabour trips when it was mostly dirt duct taped every vent while traveling to reduce bulldust ingress then peel off when stopped
In our experience, Yeah you would expect that. Living on the road full time We speak to owners of every caravan under the sun. You would be surprised how many superficial issues people have with “the best reputation vans” the issue we have had have been with the window screw thing, and also the awning nut fell out. The windows and awning is the same product all vans in that 100k+ price range use. Superficial stuff happens, australia is a tough climate to be a caravan in haha 😂 especially when the owner dosnt drop his tyres enough
I can tell you that every van on the market will have superficial issues. We know this because we speak to people every day with “the best” vans, and literally every van on the market! including spinifex vans and they have had some sort of superficial issues like we have. Australia is harsh. Obviously the quality vans hold up a lot better and the issues are only superficial like we have but to say they won’t have any issues at all is false. Especially because most of vans use the exact same appliances and bolt ons such as awnings windows, fridges and cook tops.

Keelan with the loose screws. What you can do use a match broken off, place it into the hole then replace the screw. As simple as that. Cheers Graeme.

Why do you travel with your rear caravan legs facing backwards, looks like it would effect your departure angle?
The front step actually fowls on the leg but we can remove the leg as there is no secure bolt on the back legs mean it’s out in 1 second flat! That was designed like that to combat exactly the issue of departed

The windows and awning is the same product all vans in that 100k+ price range use. Superficial stuff happens, australia is a tough climate to be a caravan in haha 😂 especially when the owner dosnt drop his tyres enough

It won’t happen with spinifex vans. Built like a brick shit house. 🍻👌
I can tell you that every van on the market will have superficial issues. We know this because we speak to people every day with “the best” vans, and literally every van on the market! including spinifex vans and they have had some sort of superficial issues like we have. Australia is harsh. Obviously the quality vans hold up a lot better and the issues are only superficial like we have but to say they won’t have any issues at all is false. Especially because most of vans use the exact same appliances and bolt ons such as awnings windows, fridges and cook tops.
