Love your van and how you have made it into a beautiful home. Also, love the chemistry between you two. Nice to see someone finally speak kindly of their husband. Mine is my best friend. Stay safe.
I have just started watching you been back and saw early up to new car van and when you had baby you are a great family and husband is a great father hope you have plenty of good times iam from Albury 85 years old I wish I could of done what you are doing good luck
Very nice caravan and thought fully arranged. Awesome family. God bless this family and there travels. Special note to dad, take care your love ones you are a true dad mate👌
For such a big van and with toddlers it’s so clean n tidy without many marks 👌🏻 nice setup too😎it doesn’t have to be too fancy or overcrowded😁🙏🏻thanks for sharing with us
A good run down of the van! It was good seeing the depth of the drawers and cupboards to see what you can fit in. Definitely helps to guage for a family what will work. Congrats as well, exciting news. 🎉
I am Tunisian. It was an honor to meet you. I watched many of the videos you posted. I invite you to visit Tunisia and take a tour. Why don’t we meet? Thank you.
Good vid just not long enough, I didn't even get to finish my breakfast. Wow he is a good sleeper, you weren't even whispering, awesome. See you next week, I'll have to eat slower next week, cheers guys.
Welcome to Karratha! Seen the rig this morning at the servo wanted to say hello but was to early for use didn’t want to disturb use sleeping! Keep up the amazing vids 😊
Excellent setup guy’s, thanks for the quick rundown without going too overboard with it all, it really is nicely done, what a great life & adventure for all of you. I am going to take an educated guess here & say that ur fridge is probably suffering from condenser air flow issues. If u have a look around the back (remove an outer vent maybe) & see if there is any restriction for airflow through & around the condenser area, possibly the external fridge venting does not allow for enough airflow & for heat to be removed to the outside area quick enough in the tropics. If this is the case you could do a small-ish mod & install 1 or 2 small fans to help vent this area, that come on when the compressor kicks in. You could test this theory by removing the rear fridge vent for a day or 3 in hot conditions to see if that improves the fridges capabilities, maybe use a small fan to help vent this area & cool the condenser coils if possible for awhile & monitor with a thermometer if any difference is made, gotta be able to chill ur drinks, hope this helps. Look forward to ur new eps. Cheers
Hi, from Costa Rica in Central America, I like so much your motor home and your youtube channel Pura Vida!!! I hope so you can visit our country Costa Rica someday.
Great walk through Looking forward to next week’s exterior episode And really interested to see your review after a year We’ve just ordered a 22 foot Extreme and were thinking about brown leather Have added an outdoor kitchen as well Love following your adventures 👍👍
Beautiful van and i love the couch and pocket colours thats the tabacoo colour i think love it looks great with the white , 🎉 on the new one coming , you'll need a bigger van 😅 ooo sorry mabe not gee thats a 4 bunk van first time ive ever seen one 💯👌
Having the skylight open all the time with direct sunlight could be affecting the black fridge, maybe thats why it struggles to keep up, we live in a hot place in mozambique, Africa and the fridges struggle too, specially when all is put in them at one time.
Hi guys. We've just discovered your channel, really enjoying it and congrats on the pregnancy announcement. We're keen to have a look at your past travels to see where you've been but it seems you only have videos posted for the last couple of months. Do you have anything further back than that?
Heya. Yea, we’ve been travelling full-time for close to two years now, but only been doing the you tube thing for the past couple of months. Sorry about that. Plenty of travels to come!!
VERY NICE !! HELL i think you have more floor space than my flat !! but im UK so what do you expect lol 2 questions ...... 1 what was the crank handle in the roof in the bedroom ? 2 EMERGENCY !! I'm guessing ALL the windows open up far enough for you to escape SHOULD there be any problems ? though didn't see any extinguishers hanging around in easy reach ?(just my personal thoughts ) guessing there in a cupboard somewhere ! but all in all its a BEAUTIFUL van .. looking forward to part 2 !!
Haha!! Yea its a big van!! Oh yea, that crank handle is to wind the TV antenna up..but we NEVER use that, so must’ve slipped my mind 🤦🏽♀️ Yep! There is a fire extinguisher mounted on the side of the kitchen bench, as soon as you come in, on the right. Just below the large magazine pocket. Nice n easy to get to 👌🏽 Thankyou for watching!
Hey mate, we started from nothing, started a few small businesses, worked very hard, took big risks, and it paid off. We have zero debt. Our only overheads are food, fuel, and maintenance. Not impossible, but yes it took a lot of work
Just coz we have three kids, and they call him Dad. So we all just call him Dad..other wise they would be runnin around callin him Jackson 🤪 and now it’s just stuck and I’m stuck calling him Dad in all situations 🤦🏽♀️ Cheers for watching!
With your fridge not handling the heat, install two little computer CPU fans in the fridge void, one to draw and one to blow and then you’ll see your fridge temperature drop about 5 degrees?
Great setup. No idea how you have managed to get your children to limit themselves to such little storage space. Quick suggestion. I hade the same problem with my fridge freezer this summer. Temporary fix was to put a couple of pic-nic ice packs in the fridge every morning and midday. Also had to educate the household to not keep opening the fridge every 5 minutes.
Yea, it was actually surprisingly easy to limit the amount of stuff they have..when you move into a caravan, you quickly realise that there a LOT of things that you thought you needed in “regular life” that you actually dont need. And just a few shorts and a few shirts..all makes for less washing too 😆👌🏽and thanks for the tip 🤙🏽
Fantastic can and set up , also the truck is set up great. If ok can I ask how the truck goes towing the caravan?? I got a nps ( auto ) and I’m considering buying a caravan. Keep the great work up. Thanks again.
Hey mate. In terms of control and sturdiness, it’s the best on the market due to the truck being so much heavier then the caravan. You don’t know the caravan is there. It does lack the power of other tow vehicles. But it has pulled ours in some of the harshest places, just starts off slower then everything else 😂. It’s a typical truck really
my mrs was keen on your bug spray gizmo. could you let me know its name and or place of purchase? have had a quick look online but couldn’t spot it. thx
Sure he said it is a compressor fridge, 3 ways use a lot of power especially on 12v & are not as likely to get as consistently cold as a compressor fridge can.
All your photos that is hanging up your decorations on the benches instead of packing them away put Velcro behind and underneath now everything stays put
Why do people with RV's, caravans or van lifers always show off their drawers and cabinets? Do you do at your home as well? People come over and you give then the full tour including your underwear drawer? I just find this to be strange. You know when I see a drawer or a cabinet, I can pretty much see for my inner eye what I could fill it with, I don't need to see what you choose to fill yours with. So why pull out everything? Well, at least you didn't show off all features of your kitchen sink and faucet, running water, pumps and so on.
Most people that leave a comment only do it once and not twice, I find this very strange and a waste of time. If you don't like the video then don't watch it, it's that easy.
Wow, don't like it don't watch it. And if someone is checking it out they would want to see storage areas. And not all drawers and pantries are created equal.
Really appreciate your honest and transparent reviews - looks like you are living your best life - fantastic.
Thank you. We are living our best life for sure
Love your van and how you have made it into a beautiful home. Also, love the chemistry between you two. Nice to see someone finally speak kindly of their husband. Mine is my best friend. Stay safe.

Thankyou very much. It is not always this tidy 🙃 however, we do not trash it..and make sure the kids aren’t runnin a muck. Thanks for watching ☺️
Love your rig. just the ticket to see the world.. Good Job guys....love the realism, fun and unity of you guys
Thank you very much
Beautiful travel trailer, which is what we call it over here in the USA. Thanks for giving us a tour.
Thankyou very much

Maybe one day we will get there
@@thecartwrights i am waiting for you ..
Thank you.. always wanted to see inside as I mentioned earlier. Thanks for acknowledging 😊😊
No problem 🤙🏽
The van is beautiful it truly looks like a home. Interesting about the fengshui on the power points in the kitchen.
Thankyou very much, and when i say fengshui..i just mean, i like the look of it better without points showing on the splash back 🤪
Great video Guy’s,
You’ve become a staple for my week.
Cheers
Thankyou so much mate. Glad you’re enjoying
I liked ur new caravan its very complete like home.keep safe always.
Yes, thanks
Good vid just not long enough, I didn't even get to finish my breakfast. Wow he is a good sleeper, you weren't even whispering, awesome. See you next week, I'll have to eat slower next week, cheers guys.
Haha. Yep! Eat slower 😝
Hot tip- Brasso on a cloth will take out those pinstripes on your plastic windows with elbow grease. Pilots in WW2 used it on perspex cockpit windows.
Yiew! Will have to try it! Thanks for that 🤙🏽
Welcome to Karratha! Seen the rig this morning at the servo wanted to say hello but was to early for use didn’t want to disturb use sleeping!

really nice setup and caravan layout
Thankyou very much

And yep!..already sorted with the quad bunk..plenty of beds for everyone 👌🏽

That's one impressive caravan! My children's student flats are considerably smaller... 😂
😅 haha. Certainly is a BIG caravan!

absolutely enjoy watching you guys and very jealous what your doing , but please do RADIO CHECKS before you spot LOL
Haha. Yea, we learned our lesson..i think 😅
Wow awesome setup. Don't forget to start stocking up on pink stuffs because there's a girl coming 💞💞😍😍🇿🇦🇿🇦
Haha!! Thanks for that!! Think we need a girl to even out the numbers a little here 😝
@@thecartwrights definitely and she is surely coming, mark my words 😃💞🇿🇦
Awesome !😊
Thanks 🤗
Cool!
Awesome
🤙🏽
VERY NICE !! HELL i think you have more floor space than my flat !! but im UK so what do you expect lol
2 questions ......
1 what was the crank handle in the roof in the bedroom ?
2 EMERGENCY !! I'm guessing ALL the windows open up far enough for you to escape SHOULD there be any problems ?
though didn't see any extinguishers hanging around in easy reach ?(just my personal thoughts ) guessing there in a cupboard somewhere !
but all in all its a BEAUTIFUL van .. looking forward to part 2 !!

Hey guys just curious what is the bug sprayer. We need that in our van.
I changed campers half way around Australia. 🇦🇺 the first one was crap. Ordered and bought a new different one.
It’s gets like that unfortunately. So many bad companies out there
Amazing setup. How does such a young couple afford all this? Don't get me wrong, it's amazing and enviable. But it just seems impossible for me
It’s called debt and plenty of it
Probs was loaded from the beginning
Hey mate, we started from nothing, started a few small businesses, worked very hard, took big risks, and it paid off. We have zero debt. Our only overheads are food, fuel, and maintenance. Not impossible, but yes it took a lot of work
@thcartwrights Well done mate👏. That's a mighty accomplishment.
Thanks for sharing your travels, the channel is great
Thank you. It is, and maybe we are lucky as well, either way same result. Thanks for watching
Love you camper
Thankyou 🤙🏽
Really interested in the bug spray I've seen the fragrance one but not a bug spray can you elaborate
You buy it from Woolies. It’s on a timer. So it spays automatically depending on what time you set it to.
Thank you..keep up the great vids👍😎
Beautiful caravan
You keeping this up?
Hi….i noticed you name your husband „dad“. Is that typical Australian or typical you 😊. Like your video‘s.
Just coz we have three kids, and they call him Dad. So we all just call him Dad..other wise they would be runnin around callin him Jackson 🤪 and now it’s just stuck and I’m stuck calling him Dad in all situations 🤦🏽♀️
Cheers for watching!
With your fridge not handling the heat, install two little computer CPU fans in the fridge void, one to draw and one to blow and then you’ll see your fridge temperature drop about 5 degrees?
Yeah mate. Iv seen people do this and it’s a great idea. Thank you for your advice. I’ll get to doing it one day. When iv got a minute or 2
Is it a permanent home or do you have a bricks & mortar place as well?
Permanent home mate. Thank you for watching

Wait up. Did you guyschange the intro clip? :) previously you guys showed the fish got hit with the harpoon at 1:45 right when the beat drops haha
Haha. Yeah, We made a shortened version, just for these episodes between series 😝🤙🏽 good spotting!!
Fantastic can and set up , also the truck is set up great. If ok can I ask how the truck goes towing the caravan??
I got a nps ( auto ) and I’m considering buying a caravan.
Keep the great work up. Thanks again.

@@thecartwrights thanks your a champion. Your advice is very valuable.
@erolmunur5879 no worries at all. I’m not a smart man, but i have made the mistakes so everyone else doesn’t have to
👏👏👏

Another great vlog, may I ask about what you do with your daughters schooling?
Home schooling. She loves it
my mrs was keen on your bug spray gizmo. could you let me know its name and or place of purchase? have had a quick look online but couldn’t spot it. thx
Just got it from Woolies mate. No idea what’s it’s called. It’s in the isle that helps kill things
Hi can I ask how you make money and how you survive
Only fans….. hahahah jokes. We run a few businesses whilst travelling. Businesses we have had for a long time
@@thecartwrights what business and how much was caravan.
You guys should look into a incinerating toilet rather than a composting toilet.
We’ll have a look. Thanks guys 🤙🏽
🙂👍
😊

Justin ?
What size is your fridge and is yours a 3 way or compressor?
Sure he said it is a compressor fridge, 3 ways use a lot of power especially on 12v & are not as likely to get as consistently cold as a compressor fridge can.
@@evil17 thankyou heaps for that
Hope you guys had more luck with your masterpiece then we did with ours…
Well….. stay tuned
Thought that you might have removed this video with everything that went down before Christmas
are you selling it after that terrible off road trip????
What terrible off-road trip?? One owner. Female driver. Only driven Sunday’s. Never taken off-road. 🤥😂
All your photos that is hanging up your decorations on the benches instead of packing them away put Velcro behind and underneath now everything stays put
That’s what they did
Gave me a headache
