Great van, I am looking at a new van what do you think of the DAKAR with airbags and disc brakes this will be my first van

@justvanningit 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for your question. The Dakar is an amazing van and would have been our first choice but couldn’t pull the weight as it is a heavier van. So decided to spec up the rough rider with Dakar specs. Vacationer offer airbag and disc brake options but you would be better off specking up the Rough Rider (or other) with the Dakar extras in terms of weight. Vacationer are really flexible to accommodate this. We have watched a Dakar get built which was just behind our van and they are a beautiful van.

Interesting to see AL-KO Components on an Australian Caravan :). Just one question: I see it all the time with caravans not built in Europe. Is there any reason why these caravans do not have an anti-sliding / anti-swinging coupling / anti-twister coupling (I don't know the exact translation sorry)? They seem to be a stock feature with most european caravans.

@prssurfer3596 2 жыл бұрын

Great video of the build process and the van looks like a beast! One question, you made reference to no timber in the floor so no rot if there is a leak, no timber in the frame so no rot if there are leaks, did they offer an option for something other than plywood for the internal wall panel?

Thanks so much. This is massive for us, our first ever brand new van! And really grateful that Vacationer let us share the build with our viewers. So so interesting to watch the process. We decided on Vacationer for a number of reasons, Australian built, value/price, quality products and design of the van and Vacationers willingness to build this to our very specific needs. We asked for so many changes to suit our personal needs and Vacationer were on board and made them all happen. We got industry feedback that it's a good van manufacturer. Will do full reveal and talk through each specific change they made for us and all products/design aspects next week in reveal. Please feel free to hit us up with any other questions.
