I kind of agree. The stone chips on the frame can be touched up but I accept the fact that Kellan is helping Urban make the best in class so everything has to be perfect. I wish the auto industry would try 1/2 as hard to give us good products.

still not a 100% bullet proof van. Call me picky but if I was buying a van from a top tier company, charging good money and wanted to keep the van for 20 years plus I wanna know it's 100% not 99%. Urban are always trying to improve there products which is awesome

​@@SarahandKeelanTravels Who keeps a van for 20yrs?... People upgrade them as much as their cars.

@@Robert-cu9bm people who aren't sponsored or don't have the funds

@@petercrisp8314 Then those people aren't buying a new van in the first place. And if they are, they shouldn't because they can't afford it.

Thanks mate! Yeah Urban want us to abuse it, we still bought it and own it so obviously can’t destroy it on purpose but yeah they love it

awesome to hear! you will love that system!! 850 is a great amount of solar!!

Think the quality is well and truely at that level mate! They build them to last, that’s also why re sale value is very high too

good on ya guys! you'll love it! make sure you fill out the SKT free battery upgrade link and tell your dealer too!

cheers mark! thanks for watching mate!!

Mate we are as excited as you are!!

hold tight mate, we might be coming to the USA haha

@@SarahandKeelanTravels If you come over in our summer (your winter), I recommend starting in Alaska and drive down the coast to your next destination. If you can't catch big fish in Alaska, then throw in the rod. Best fishing in the world up there and great scenery. I wouldn't try that trip in winter, the conditions are brutal and basically 22 hours of dark. Good luck living the dream!!!

Hahahha

thanks legend!!

Great idea mate! Thanks for the advice and cheers for watching

@@SarahandKeelanTravels 4 stone chips! Really? based on the abuse you've put it through? Not a bad review, every van has its niggles. I have just redone my draw bar and used that Raptor product. I used 5 coats plus 2 primer and I have to say its very tough product. Keep truckin!

good feedback mate, I should of shown the rest of the chassis even though it looks brand new!

@@SarahandKeelanTravels photo , video ?

thanks mate! We never will, would had to be a puppet! cheers for the comments and all the support mate! always see your name in the comments every week!

all good mate gday to Canada

thanks Paul!!

Nice, I like that idea, being lazy I have thought about this too. I was wondering if just electric stabiliser actuators would work ok? Cheaper, lighter & easier to setup automation & safety checks so you cant move when they are down, could/would also serve as a theft preventative. I guess a electric/hydraulic system would offer the extra grunt to actually lift & self level the van automatically, but it would also add a substantial weight gain.

Haha thanks mate yeah it screams louder than the old Prado did haha

Great idea mate! Thanks for watching

Thanks mate! Feel like we are driving it as hard as we can sometimes! I don’t think we could break it if we tried

Thanks mate

Thanks legend!!

What!! Yew

I’m sure if your friends contact urban they will 100% sort that out straight away.. they have great customer service and they ALWAYS help. Just have to give them a chance to help you.

thats an awesome idea mate your should sell that to a company!

Yeah too true, we have those! With the reversing fans, I personally wouldn’t use them as a dust fan though while travelling has there’s no filter on the fan and will most likely suck dust straight in!

thanks mate!

yes it has been primed! like I said, 99% of the van is beautiful like it came out of the factory its just those few on the top of the draw bar, I actually think its from rocks getting stuck in my boots then I stand onto the draw bar and chip it! none the less its not good enough and urban have got something better now haha

@@SarahandKeelanTravels Thanks for the reply, very keen to hear about this new coating they have, props if it doesnt fade as quick as raptor coating!

haha yeah narh its pretty minor but when you are doing testing for a company and your responsible for that product going on 100 vans in 6 months time then its a big deal and we need to make something that is 100%

Cruise master ATX is standard on all XTreme urban model, no our system is bigger than the x grid, extra solar and batteries. Yeah we went for extra large windows they are awesome!cheers for watching

for sure mate, I 100% agree! we have come up with a new coating that doesn't suffer any wear and tear, cant wait to show ya

thanks Dave! we agree mate, and seeing exactly how its put together its easy to see why its still in one piece! stone chips need to go though and it will be closer to the 100% bullet proof rating that I want to give it! cheers legend

🤣

You will hahaha wicked ass beasty thang

These will mate, nothing to rot, and it’s highest quality, you definitely don’t need all the bells and whistles but it’s awesome to have if you do like the creature comforts, which I’m sure you can understand

I'm the same but been there done all that , gee it's nice to have a poop inside and have a shower inside too , when ya leave the house hit the rd yer it's a nice luxury when ya getting older and a quick pull over travelling or a overnight stay who wants to set up a tent and put a portable toilet in it then wait all day 4 the solar shower to warm up 😅 I'm over all that now

The mud terrain tyres have a stronger sidewall compared to highway tyres. If it was a on road caravan, highway tyres would be better but the risk off road is punctures

hahah no fish yet! they are coming

Thanks mate

Haha thanks mate!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Haha cheers mate!!

Thanks mate 🤙🏽🤙🏽

hey mate, When we say its a fail we are still using the idea however urban are now going to make it better so it doesn't chip at all, They are always trying to improve thats why we love their vans

@@SarahandKeelanTravels I get it. That said, how much will they spend to eliminate chips? Is the extra weight of a thicker coating worse than 1% chips? It may not be good business to target Zero chips. I like the commitment to perfection, it’s just not always good business. This is not a criticism, just a perspective from working with clients making R&D decisions. Wear & tear is part of the deal. Still a brilliant summary by you and the fact you have committed to being able to say what you want about products you’re getting discounts on, is superb!!

Hahah don’t know what brown shirt means haha

Na mate it's that style of trendy shirt I don't think a surprise is coming yet or they would be going 4 a bigger van with bunks 😅

Narh they are awesome and don’t flap and don’t let any bugs in, our windows are mibicool dometic ones and they have been awesome. You can whipe these down when they get dirty where you can’t with the concertina style ones

@@SarahandKeelanTravels Thanks

that is true, Urban are building vans that will last 50 years plus!

my advice, make sure to have decent latches and/or locks on them

Narh mate the latches are top notch, never ever had one open on us. Never had the fridge open either unless we didn’t shut it properly once haha but yeah don’t worry about that, urban are top notch with that stuff

Could be warm but not quite

It’s an urban caravans one, fully integrated into the wall with a inline fan and filter behind the fridge vent works a treat

@@SarahandKeelanTravels ah rito I might email urban for more details see if I can assemble one together myself in a spot that’ll work for my van. Thanks

It’s the big block from Bunnings not sure the size

thanks mate! pretty sure no one has done it and no matter how absurd and profound it may sound, we are going to try it and see if its something far better than what it is now!

Haha mate she’s in top notch working condition

good call mate

Haha mate this is the highest one on the Australian market! If you like them high the XTreme model by urban is for you

@@SarahandKeelanTravels Nah, was joking.

Haha I see, hard to tell sometimes with typing

@@SarahandKeelanTravels No seriously, I just think it’s way too high. The drag and instability when highway driving….I can only imagine.

couple meat pies haha

hey Gary, when did you order your armorlite, if you ring your dealer and ask them about the SKT battery upgrade they will know if your eligible, pretty much there is a set date and if you ordered before it your not eligible and if you ordered after you are.

Good question, You see a lot of BS on the internet these days and it's very valid. ill run you through the way we communicate with brands who want to work with us and the vetting that takes place so we can keep our integrity, make honest review videos like this and show our awesome viewers the respect they deserve. the first thing we say to brands if they want us to review/ use there products. "are you happy for us to honestly review this product, good or bad?" if the answer is yes then we come back and say we need X amount of time to test it the product before we show it in any capacity, if the product is no good or we don't believe in it will send it back. which gets us in trouble a lot and makes companies very upset but we refuse to promote cr4p! We always establish a relationship and understanding with the company where you are able hold your audience at the highest regard & respect them by being able to say whatever you like about the products, the good and the bads and NO personal experience or opinion with the product is censored from them. You also be 100% transparent about the relationship (which we did) You tell the truth about the product and highlight the fails & the bad (which we did) you highlight the good (which we did) highlight the things you would do differently next time, as the van is not perfect. that is how. We are the only " Van ambassadors" openly getting on YT and highlighting negatives about a caravan company they are working with Which we also did with the last 2 vans "sponsored" or not. We think the Reason Urban want us as ambassadors is because people trust us and we hold our integrity over a pay check any day of the week and will continue to into the future! hope that answers your question.

Well said mate. I guess that’s why we watch you. Cheers

Test the DOOOG haha
