100%, Ayers Rock really needs to be opened up again for climbing if they have any hope of revitalising tourism back into the NT. Also, love the new van... absoluuuute game-changer hahaha 😂😂

Two brothers from different mothers....🤙 We have some awesome caves this side too, a well known one - Cango Caves...... We have those 'prickly pears' this side too, you pick them with a tin can, peel them, and stick them in the fridge, damm good.. What an awesome little van, can see myself living in that 👍 Thanks for the share 😎🤙

09:40 looks like a Sunseeker VH14 that you towed for a while. I got one last year. Very good with lots of solar and more battery. Pretty good for one or two at a pinch, if you like outside cooking and living.

It probably has a Tare of 2200 with an ATM of 3000. That's a payload of 800Kg. 300 litres of water tanks - well you can see where that's going ...

Your Skye RV 14 footer looks suspiciously like a Vision VH 14?? Have they branched out with another brand?

I reacon your right. That might explain how a company that has a decade of experience is only just releasing prototypes in 2024.

I'm keen to find out the tare weight before water gas and everything is put in the van and it's ATM. I've seen some with only 400kg paylaod and that's before filling the water tanks...
