  • Hey Guys!
    Happy Thursday and welcome to part 2 of our caravan tour!! This week we get to show you where we have lived for the last four months! We deep dive into the inside of our caravan! What do we love what we changed? What do we despise?
    If you haven’t already watched last weeks video where we take a look at all of the exterior of the van, make sure you go and check it out here! • FULL TOUR of our TINY ...
    Have you made any cool modifications that you think might be useful for our van? Let us know in the comments below!
    Cheers,
    Lil & Jake

    Hi Lil & Jake,
    Thank you so much for your honest reviews and taking us with you on your adventures. My wife and I are in the market for a hybrid. We had ordered a Lifestyle Reconn R2, but there have been a few model and price changes, taking the whole thing up to near $90k. The R2 is a terrific option with all of its quality and design, but I was wondering how you would rate the compromise of a better price point if we were to go with the XH-13 (or even 15)? We'd be keen to travel pretty remotely and all the off road challenges that might throw at a camper.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Mark

Was just wondering where you got your USB lights for the bed from? We have a XH15 and think those lights are stupid too. We also took the table out, I was feeling so claustrophobic with it in there.

      Hey James! Look it's small but there's enough room to sit around if we want, we wouldn't go any bigger, if the weathers bad we usually go somewhere else, but if it's unavoidable it's not too bad, thousands of people are travelling in roof top tents and get by, we think we have it luxury!

    I just had a few questions re your dingy…
    Does it drag much whilst on the highways and effectively slow you down? And do you think weighing it up, is it worth the effort for the amount you actually use it?
    Sorry for the long winded questions but I thought you’d be great people to ask…

      Hey! That's great to hear, we're glad your enjoying them!
      The tinny is a hard one too say, if you asked us now (we're in darwin) we would say not worth it, but when we where on the west coast it was amazing! It definitely doesn't use any more fuel with it on the top, it's like it cuts the wind for the van, it's been amazing having it, but maybe if we'd worked something out so that it was easier to put on and off, we might enjoy it even more, I hope this helps?!
