New video out on our new van! Before we even left for our first camp in the new van, we stopped at a mate's weighbridge — fully loaded, food, water, everything in both the car and the van — just to get the most accurate weights we could from the start. Always good to know - especially when you start by just guessing (and hoping the manufacturers got it right!) Once we were out there, a few things we actually tested or noticed: - The charging system was pulling 30 amps from the car and not going over — good sign the limiter is doing its job and not flogging the alternator - Turning circle clearance — we found a clear spot and went full lock left to right to make sure the A-frame wasn't going to strike anything - Inside kitchen vs outside kitchen (our last van was a hybrid) — already set the smoke alarm off twice in under a day, so that's going well - Fuel consumption looks higher towing this van, but we didn't do a proper test — that's coming next trip If you're getting a new van, a new to you van, or have done some big modifications - it's always great to check a few things out to be fully accustomed to your new home on wheels. Is there anything you would like to know about what to test/learn in a new van? We'll be doing a zoom live in the coming weeks to answer any of your questions - add them under this post so we can keep track of them and keep a look out when we'll do our live chat. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMkvVZXU6_0
