Great layout. Beautiful. I would feel perfectly comfortable and at home in such a camper.
Love your dog too, so cute.
I'm glad I saw that, no east west bed, thats a bonus for us.
I've always been interested in this company.
Wow, a place for everything n everything in its place 😊
Thanks for the compliment ❤ .. it makes it super easy to find and access to things in a limited space like this compact motorhome 😊
That was such a relaxing tour of your home.
It's beautiful.
So is your dog.
Thanks for your kind words ☺️
Tasmania,Bay Of Fire is a amazing place to camp.
Your motorhome is wonderfully laid out, thanks for sharing.🙏🏼🙏🏼
I loved the music so peaceful not like some of the other garbage on utube have to turn it off n just watch
I fully agree. I cant stand to watch a lot of other stuff. The NOISE
Thank you for posting this tour of your camper. Your organization is giving me ideas on how to better organize my travel trailer. Thanks again!!
Thanks 😊 glad it was helpful ☺️
WELL DONE!!!...so organized, clean, great floor plan and storage solutions!!!👏👏👏
This was just … beautiful. 💐
Great setup love it
Hi, we are looking for a 4x4 motorhome and love your video's, thank you for taking the trouble to show us your ideas and Explorer.
Thanks 🙏 and all the very best with your purchase! We were in the same boat a few years ago and really happy that we came across Explorer Motorhomes. Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions about this model.
Happy travels!
Hi Angie!
Thanks for your inspirational video. You guys helped us heaps with our decision process. You guys look like you're having fun on the road. We have a dog thats a "little" bit bigger than yours and hopefully will be travelling in the next year or so....
Just wondering if you have encountered any flaws or quality and any problems with your build.
Looking forward to your next video adventure! Cheers D
Hi D,
Thanks and great to hear you have found our vid helpful with your decision process 💚.. Hope you guys and the fur baby have a great time travelling in your Explorer Motorhome!! Sounds exciting and the wait is definitely worth it ☺️
In terms of flaws / quality, we haven’t encountered any major issues with our build. We truly enjoy our travels with this motorhome and love the layout.
There were a couple of minor issues at the start but it could be easily fixed on the phone with Explorer (for example, leakage in the water pipe during our shake up trip and we could easily fix it with Explorer’s step by step instructions on the phone / text )
Currently the only issue we are having is one of the USB ports is not working .. not sure why, could be wear and tear and we’re planning to replace it ourselves. Other than that everything else is working as they should be.
Thought I’d also share that there are a couple of things I would probably modify / add in my next build to suit our needs (if we ever decide to do it 😅), a few examples are: remove the aircon and have another ceiling fan instead , potentially a bigger fridge and battery, add a slide-out countertop extension (I already have a design that I like ) so we have a bigger countertop space for food preparation but can he hidden away when we don’t need it. We might also change the current table to a Lagun style so the tabletop can be moved in any direction easily, we might also replace the current pantry next to the fridge with drawers so we don’t have to open the main door first and pull the drawers out.
Hope that answered your question and feel free to ask us any follow-up questions
Happy travels!
Cheers
Angie
Great fun time here😊😊
Many thanks for sharing. This is what I would love to have to travel around Australia.
Thankyou for the share. Brilliant. I have been thinking of buying one for years
The bed can be 1 big one if you wanted?? This is Wheel Estate at it's finest 👌 luxury living and traveling.
Thanks! Yes, the company (Explorer Motorhomes) that makes these motorhomes accept custom order so it can be a one big bed if requested.
Love the design, especially the bed concept, just the entire van. Great job....ENJOY !!
Thanks 😊
Yes, this company does the best motor home, so well designed and you’ve fitted it out brilliantly.
Beautiful view🎉
That pullout bed system def works for me, but that bug-screen for the entry door, seemed a bit ineffective! Great lil camper for one, but for two ppl, it could get a lil problematic
I’m 5’ 10” 240lb one pair of jeans and a shirt would fill that dirty laundry thing under the bathroom sink.😂😂😂
Amazing
Nice
great
Great motorhome and setup. Good thing about that vehicle is they retain their value. Hoping to order one this year. Still tossing up single beds or double in the Spirit model. Enjoyed the vid with the drone footage. Not many vids on TH-cam on this motorhome by private owners.🎉
Thanks 🙏… re: bed configuration choice, we were also tossing up bw the two options but went with single beds to minimise disturbing each other’s sleep … happy travels 😊
Would like to see how you store utilities including ramps, hoses, power cables etc.
Also where do you carry folding chairs and your outside table?
Have you tried using a wash bucket with a lid to do washing as you travel?
I have replied to your comment in the other vid. Hope that answered some of the questions here.
We carry scrubba bag and collapsible bucket (without a lid though) for washing (for now)… this is something we’re still working on to find a smart solution :)
Hi Angie, thank you for your video, great setup. Could I ask you where you got your laundry hamper/ cupboard under your sink? Thank you
Hi Marc,
Thanks 😊, we made it ourselves after receiving the motorhome. I believe Explorer Motorhomes can make it at build upon request. From memory, one of the owners had a similar cupboard installed by Explorer in theirs.
@@AngieChau Thank you Angie, much appreciated 😀
Many thanks for the great room tour.
How heavy is the camper all-inclusive?
Greetings from Germany
Greetings ☺️! It’s around 3,400KG
HI Angie, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this video and share, it has been super helpful. I am looking at the pathfinder extreme as a solo traveller. Can I ask how you have found the camper since you did this video? If you were to buy another one, would you buy the same or change anything?
Hi Suzzanne,
thanks for watching and glad to hear it was helpful. The short answer to your question is yes, if we were to buy another one we would still go with this model as the layout works really well for us.
We would probably make a few changes in terms of storage. Explorer have done a great job but there are still a few times that I wish I could modify a few things to make it work perfectly 😅 …
I would probably think through the storage solution needed from the entry point (ie. where do we store our shoes, umbrella, bits and pieces etc) to other possible organisation solutions for things like cooking (ie. maybe we could ask them to add an folding bench top over the fridge so we have more counter space or where to put condiments, oil, etc), laundry, .. maybe a place to store a second cassette tank so it can give us more toilet days, also we find we don’t use the aircon unit as much as we thought so we would have it removed from the build as well to save 35kg for other useful things :)
just a few things that could have been easier to make during the build rather than retrofitting after (eg. the laundry cabinet under the sink that we made to make use of the space under the sink and to hide the big thing below it)
In terms of what we like about the floor plan for two people:
- we like the two single N-S pull out beds as this saves space when not in use and our sleep is not disturbed like when one person needs to go for a toilet break in the middle of the night etc
- when we were looking for a motorhome and went to the caravan shows to check out the ones on display, we decided the rear bathroom would be what we wanted as we didn’t like the wet bathroom style
- this vision model was probably the only one with the clean look that we found on the market at the time. There’s so much airspace inside and I love it every time I step inside the motorhome, it feels like living in a tiny cosy wood cabin. I saw some motorhomes with lots of cabinets inside and it makes it feel a bit sophisticated.
- the decision factor for us was also the one piece fibreglass body as we have heard bad experiences of leaking from other motorhomes that don’t have this type of build
Sorry for a long-winded answer 😅 .. hoping it might give you a feel for what we like and what we might change if we were to buy another one :)
Good luck with your purchase .. sounds like a great choice ☺️and happy travels! 💚
@@AngieChau Angie you are a gem - thank you so much for this insightful reply, I really appreciate your time and understanding your reasoning, really helps me think it through. I am looking at the Pathfinder as a solo traveller - I love the wide open panoramic view at the back but now you mention it, I realise how much space in the shower the vision has in comparison. Thank you so much and happy travels to you guys!!
Great set up, we just picked up ours. Where is the beach you are parked at, it looks beautiful.
Thanks! This is Swimcart beach in Tasmania. One of our favourite beach front camp sites. Did you pick up a Vision as well? Enjoy your travels😊
A Pathfinder extreme
Are you from Adelaide Angie?
What is the company that builds these? Do you know the year and model? Thank you!! 😉
Thanks! The company is Explorer Motorhomes. You can check out their website below:
explorermotorhomes.com.au
Our model is Vision on 4WD Toyota Hilux chassis and the year is 2019 😊
Sehr Sehr gut ,alles drum und dran Klasse Aufteilung.
Ich bin begeistert 👍👍😎
How much does it cost?
It’s best to contact Explorermotorhomes.com.au for the up to date pricing info as prices depend on optional upgrades (things like diesel heater, extra solar panels, higher battery capacity, etc) that you want to add. There is a list of upgrades on their website.
For our motorhome, the base price was about $160,000AUD + $20,000AUD for upgrades at the time we purchased it a few years ago. Hope that helps 😊
Everything good but the music.
