Noted. Where is the offending spelling? (while the text functions in the editing software do tend to autocorrect - it could be me!) Once it's uploaded I can't edit it so hope you can live with the occasional typo. cheers

Thank you so much. We love our van and it’s doing well.

Thanks mate. Appreciated.

Thanks for watching and the feedback. And I’m not the least bit car brand tribal. People make their own choices. Our VLOG does of course feature our Zone and the Defender but it’s really about your travels and hopefully many of the shares apply more generally not always to our rig. Thanks again. I hope the episodes get better - noting we are on the road now and video in the moment so sometimes not quite broadcast quality!!

Thanks so much. We're ZB 274. The HangarO handover innovation is a great idea from Zone. It wasn't a thing when we got our van and we wish it was. So Noosa Habitat was a great place for us as first timers. Hope you stayed dry in the floods. We were just at the Murray and quite a few homes went under. Sad.

Thanks Graham. We certainly aim to be safe and to enjoy and share our travels. We are very happy with our van.

Thanks Jack. We would welcome your comments, tips and questions and the more likes and subscribes means we can send any ad revenue to charity.

@@nextleveloz would like to hear how the Defender stacks up re GVM/GCM , tow ability, technology, etc. Have a LC on order but curious about the Defender…

@@Chance_It_Oz I will cover how we've found the Defender and why we chose it.It hasn't been a trouble free decision, that more related to JLR back up and service. But it's a very capable car and great to drive. GVM is 3280kg and GCM is 6780kg. As with most vehicles towing, the thing to manage is rear axle capacity. The five seater has an 1800kg rear axle capacity and the 7 seater is 1900kg.

Thanks guys. Hope to see you on the road!

@@nextleveloz that would be awesome! Just waiting on the tow vehicle to arrive! 🤞🏽

Hi. Thanks so much for the feedback. It’s much appreciated. Wow- seems so long ago that I bought the bedding. I think I got this at the Bed, Bath and Table outlet at Harbour Town in the Gold Coast. They didn’t have the pillow cases to match so I bought a single sheet and made the pillow cases. I’m not sure if that pattern is still available 🤷‍♀️. They match the van and keep it cheery!. cheers Paula.

@@nextleveloz thank you so much for the quick reply. Looks fabulous. I’ll check it out. Enjoy your journey, zone rv is on my list for our big lap in the near future so am looking forward to seeing your adventures. Stay safe and thanks again for the reply!

The tow bar and hitch receiver were installed as part of the tow pack by LR. It’s actually a Hayman Reese bar. I’m a bit hesitant to advice on the hitch itself because it depends on what tow height you need for your rig. So my suggestion is talk to your local Hayman Reese dealer with the info about what tow heights you need and they can help measure up and fit an appropriate hitch. Mine is just over the LR recommendation (and the manual says it’s recommended) to ensure my handbrake clears the rear spare wheel. But it’s 190mm and ensures my tow height is 490mm high in travel mode ( i needed 490 -530mm). I’m pretty sure the model was 21161 but for the life of me can’t find my invoice while we are on the road. Yes , DO35 hitch.

Thanks for watching and asking the question. I don’t know what brand it is. We will check our manuals to see if there is one there and share it if it is. cheers

@@nextleveloz thanks guys, keep up your good work 👍

Thank you. We edit the videos using Final Cut Pro. We hope to get better and a bit faster as we get more experience with it.

Hi. No they don’t make the Base any more. Our van was new picked up. As we covered in the first few episodes we didn’t want to do a van review or walkthrough as it was superseded and not until we’d used it for a few months. We weren’t even sure we’d do a channel at first. So the videos will catch up on real time over the coming month or so. Hope that explains. cheers

Hey Rich.. What do you prefer to drive? Let us know what your rig is, as all constructive comment is welcome. cheers
