    Frank, that was a brilliant, straight shooting review mate. Subbed! I hope you can apply your discerning eye to many more things in the videos to come!

    Great video thanks mate, small items are a let down, when you consider what you are paying for, in 2023 paying 50+K for an 11 foot van you expect better, but hopefu;;y the company will use this video to fix this....

    I've been living in my scout 11 for 14mths now full time... I've had heaps shit happen with my camper. Wiring is crap, hot water service would always flame out, leaking shower cubicle, wheel bearing nut only has 3 threads holding on, door handle broke as with the screen door handle, they used vinyl water tube for a diesel heater fuel line, wheel alignment has no more adjustment, a/c drain is above the front water tank all I have fixed/modified/improved. Oh TV and aerial shit themselves too, shocks, water pump pressure switch failed they replaced those items. My view is great concept just poorly executed

      Thanks for your input. I hope that the gen 2 is better than that. I can only imagine if I was living in it there would be more issues. As to what you experience. Did you get in touch with stoney creek regarding some of these issues and how did you find their after sales service. Take care. Frank

      Mine is a gen 2, but you do have a different kitchen, outdoor shower, stone guard, electric awning. When parts were available they were pretty quick in sending them. But most of the stuff on the list I had to fix otherwise it would've been over 12mths till I would be able to get stuff looked at

      I've also heard people with 100k plus vans having similar issues with quality of vans, so I guess for the money they are OK, if you fix stuff yourself or can think outside the square to make do until fixed

    • @fsvdownunder
      @fsvdownunder  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True that. At least we have the knowledge and capabilities to repair and or replace some of these problems.

      Also seal the area that the slide out kitchen stow away. The reason is if you have the kitchen out bugs can make their way inside the van as all the compartments under the bed are interconnected.

    Nice Frank. Great review. How is it to tow?

      @fsvdownunder  ปีที่แล้ว

      Morning. It tows really well. Just hugs the road. I'm really impressed with the engineering that's gone into it. Seems extra heavy duty as well.

      Yeah awesome. Have you taken it off road at all? If so how did it go? Looks like a great little unit!
