We had a van on order for nearly 2 years but there was a 22% increase in price a few weeks before delivery so we opted out.Took a while to get our depsoit back but we ended up bying a Willow and could be happier.
We ordered a Marvel 19'6 Thunderstorm Bunks in October last year and were told it wont be "ready" till March 2023, if all goes to plan I guess! Where did you hire your Golden Child as we'd like to hire something similar to see what we're getting so we can add or delete anything before final sign off!
Great choice of van! Marvel build a good van, we haven't had any issues yet 😊 I'm sure I saw a thunderstorm for rent on camplify last Christmas when we were looking, have you had a look there? Final sign off is very hard. The colours were easy, but the extras we had a list a mile long - we watched about 1000 youtube caravan tours for ideas 😅
Haha that could be hard to pinpoint, our changes to the van amounted to over $20,000 😅 In our eyes the most important ones were adding ESC, a reverse camera, a longer bed, solar and lithium batteries. Time will tell once we have the van if everything is worth it, though we will need to add a diesel heater once we take delivery.
Thank you so much! We will leave what we ordered as a suprise, hopefully it's still on track for the next few weeks 🤞 That's so exciting that your van should be ready soon! Crusader make a great van! Are you planning a lap or short holidays?
Thank you for the review. Tell me, please, can adults sleep on the bunks wich are opposite the shower or the bunks are just for kids? How long are they? The seat at the table, can it be transformed into a bunk too?
Thanks for watching. Adults can sleep in the bunks, they are about 6 foot long but a bit narrow and I think there is a weight limit on the top one. So small adults would be fine. The table can be dropped down to make another bed in some vans. Ours cannot but it is an option you can pick.
Hey! It's a really long story how this all ended up happening. We will do a video in the near future explaining it. We hope your van turns up sooner rather then later.
Great. ISO’s old mate. Just one request from and old bloke with buggered hearing. Can you speak up and not mumble. No offence but if your going to stay on utube people have to be able to understand you
So many little set up hacks.
By the time your caravan arrives you'll be experts 😀
Here's hoping! Fingers crossed it will be ready soon 🤞🤞🤞
Great video guys, carn't wait to see your new van - let the adventures begin.
Thanks for the support guys! Hopefully the new van isn't too far away 🤞🤞🤞
Hey guys just started watching you guys. Good luck hope your van doesn’t take much longer. Look forward to seeing more videos from you.
Thanks for your support 🥰
If everyone keeps their fingers and toes crossed maybe our van will arrive this month 🤞
Sounds like your van will be lovely when you get it! Hopefully not to much longer 🤞
Thank you 🥰
We have all our fingers and toes crossed but for now we are just so grateful to be able to begin the trip!

@@trippinaroundoz yeah we’re looked on camplify but couldn’t see anything! Are there any extras you’d recommend?

@@trippinaroundoz Thank you very much for your care
@@delgofer-3209 any time :)
@@trippinaroundoz Excuse me, one question more, please.
What is the price now in AUD?
Hello
So we have hired this van but to buy it new I believe it's around $90,000 AUD
What is the configuration of your van? Bunks at the end?
yes the bunks will be at the end :)
We are looking to do the same thing while waiting for our van to be built. May I ask how much you paid and is it discounted for long term? Thanks

@@trippinaroundoz sorry, I was actually referring to the coast of the van hire, not the cost of your new van. Thanks.

Should have said videos
We will work on that, thanks for the feedback :)
