They must be busy making them in Melbourne. So when you need to get in contact with them ask for a discount or extras. They are putting you out so they need to compensate for the delay.

Does anyone know about the hot water system problem with the New Age road owl? An inspector has just told me that they vent carbon monoxide into the van and that they have to be removed completely. That's scary stuff, anyone been through the process of replacing under warranty, the van is just over a year old.

Ours is a model affected, however, the serial number doesnt fall within the range, so I presume we are all good, purchased van in September, 2018.

it sounds as if it's a very serious safety issue so I would definitely check with the manufacturer and get the response by email.

Hi there,
Has any one travelled in one of these to off road/remote locations?
Feedback on the suspension would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.,

We have been on a graded gravel road and had no problems.

Thanks for replying Kel, there isn’t a lot on the Internet in terms of videos or reviews for these vans. Which can be a good thing, or a bad thing.
However they do seem like good vans & the general feedback on customer service is good. We definitely need somethibg off road.

We are looking at doing the Gibb River Road in 2020. So anything with corrugated road or rough type conditions - if anyone has feedback on this? Would be muchly appreciated.

We have done the Meereni loop road with ours and it handled it well. I'd say better than others travelling with us whose caravan is worth twice as much. Road owl is a great van. We just went slow and husband had adjusted tyres. We have adventure version.
