You guys are the best family to follow, genuine , honest and fun .
So very true
Thank you so much 😊 we appreciate the support!
Four years ago when we first got our van I started watching so many TH-cam travelling channels and slowly unfollowed the ones that no longer interested me because I felt they weren’t genuine…. I’ll never unfollow you guys, keep up the great work x
Thanks so much dawn! So glad to hear you enjoy the adventures (: thank you for your support 🤠
Just keep being who you are a great family! Thanks safe travels!
Thanks so much we appreciate your support! 😊
Family first! This episode truly shows the type of honest, down to earth people that you are, if things don’t sit well they generally aren’t. Keep living YOUR dream, great job!!👍
100%! Trust your gut always (: thanks so much for the support 🤠
Well guys tonight's episode really reinforced the reason we love you lot and also hate not always being able to sit down right at 5 o'clock on a Friday night to catch up with what's going on in you and your boys lives. You are so down to earth, honest and so easy to watch, here we are this is us is definitely is your mantra, we have absolutely no doubt that if we were ever lucky enough to meet up off screen you would be the same. Us being old and knowing it was hot where you were we were worried the kids were tied up and not under a tree so we were relieved when Lennox showed his face. WE must have missed the call for questions or we would have made up some doosies, luv you guys ❤❤
Love reading your comments each week, thank you so much for all the support (: hahaha don’t worry the boys were occupied with food and iPads in the van (aircon) 😂
Hope to bump into you guys along the way (:
I came away from watching last nights episode feeling gutted that you had that experience. The utter devastation and realisation of the situation you found your selves in; the bewiderment and sadness. The delusionment, the navigation and path out. So glad you are both who you are and are journeying on. Breathe. So glad I found your channel. Take care.
Thanks so much for your kind words, it means a lot 😊 we’ve learnt a lot from the experience (:
Well said, appreciate the fact that it's all about the journey. Not what you can get out of suppliers. Also luv the fact that you caravan is your home, no5 something to upgrade every couple of months. Keep up the fantastic content.
Thanks heaps! We're just trying to make the most of life on the road. 😁
Hi i would like to say a big thank you. i cant wait to see you journey each week. In regards to the Melbourne show we were one of the lucky people to meet you two and would have never known that you were stressed out. You came a cross like you did not a care in world and smiled the whole time we with you two. Once again thank you
Hey John (: we were happy to meet people who support us so it was great to meet everyone so thank you for coming to say hey (: thanks so much for the support (:
We have been OS for 3 weeks and now just catching up with you guys again, we are so proud of your choice to be yourself and not dictated to by an ambassadorship !! Good on you for continuing your dreams, we love you guys and never miss an episode! Love to see you on the road somewhere one day! Keep those awesome vids rolling, and never stop Elena’s cooking adventures 😊 Cheers, Pete and Jane
Hey guys! Thanks so much for your support! 💕💕 hope you guys had a good time overseas (:
Awesome! We absolutely adore you guys. Living the dream lol! ❤ Keep trucking - still a lifetime of things to see in our beautiful country 🎉
You said it! We love exploring our amazing country! 🇦🇺 so grateful! Thanks so much for the support (:
Your family are probably one of the most down to earth and honest families putting out videos.
The stress you must have gone through being treated that way by a brand name caravan manufacturer was terrible.
I am glad you have come out the other side and got the love of travelling back.
Most important thing is to look after your mental and physcial health and the kids.
I will continue watching and supporting your channel unlike some others i have unscribed to. recently.
All the best with your future adventures.
That really means a lot, thanks for the kind words! 🙏
appreciate your honesty with your travels especially the high and lows of travelling
Thanks so much Lloyd - it’s defo not all sunshine’s and rainbows (:
Well said, stay true to yourselves and keep on doing what you do. We love it.
Thank you so much Chrissy (:
Tantrums are a vital part of learning. It's how children learn to self regulate their emotions. All you can do is support them through it, show them you love them and you're their for when they are ready. Sometimes you might have to just sit with them and hug them until they calm down. You guys are awesome normal parents.
100%! Thanks so much (:
That was the best and most honest and down to earth Q&A i have seen on TH-cam. You guys are so down to earth and real genuine Aussies and that is why you are now one of the few i atill follow after deleting most of my subscribed channels. Your honesty re how you were treated but how you then got back on the wagon to continue what you so obviously love and privide the most awesome experiences and upbringing for your boys was inspirational Keep on keeping on and safe travels
Thank you soooo much for your kind words! Appreciate the support (:
A few years ago when l came across your channel, l thought "what a pair of dags", but now l can't wait for your weekly vids. Your approach to life is so refreshing, warts and all, and you are right... the time spent with your kids is precious! Keep up the great work!!
Haha! We love that you've come around to us 😂 Thanks for watching!
Great video guys, honest and down to earth which is exactly what you are.
Thanks so much, we appreciate that! 🙂
Love your upfront honesty. Good job guys 😘😘😘😘
Appreciate that! 😊🤘
Awesome guys! Love watching you. I totally agree on the fake stuff and the caravan industry!
Thanks guys! Appreciate the support! 😊😊 Hope you guys are doing well!
We feel for you guys and what you have been through. But like you said, its made you stronger and has re-ignited your passion again for travelling. You know we are only a call away if you're in any doubt. 🍻 Cracka vid as always and hope to see ya's again soon
Cheers to that! We really appreciate the support, and right back at you guys - we are always a phone call away 👍 can’t wait to catch up again🤘🤠
Honest and REAL as always
Thank you 💕
Thank you guys I enjoy watching your adventures. 😊 Keep up the smiles every video I watch you are the best in cool Mum and Dad philosophy and great in not being helicopter parents. I can see it in your kids they may throw tantrums but at the end the kids are Happy .😊
Thank you so much! We are very happy with the lifestyle we are raising the boys up in (:
What an awesome and genuine family. Living the dream and inspiring others.
Thanks so much Kevin 🤘🤠
Great episode as always and yes we do learn stuff from you! We love that you show us places to go, fun things to do and just enjoy life so much. Others we started following as we began planning to hit the road have become so commercial, always pushing the next new product or idea that ordinary people can’t afford, and they became irrelevant to us. Keep up the good work.
We really appreciate you saying that, we're glad we can offer something a bit different and authentic! Thank you 🤠🤘
That was a fun and relaxed Q&A 😃. A couple of months in The Kimberley next year!!! I literally can not wait for that, so many adventures to be had there and it’s so stunning. And the reddest dirt you will ever see 😊❤️😂
Oh we are sooooooo excited for it (: can’t wait to share our adventures! Thanks so much for the support (:
We were also lucky to meet you both at the Melbourne show. This was a highlight for me. We too had a not so great experience with some people from said van company and decided to pull out of our caravan build, lost 18k, but I think we made the right choice in the end. Loved this episode. Thanks for always being honest, down to earth and funny.
We are so sorry to hear about your experience but glad you made the right decision for yourselves ! Thanks for watching 😊
Living your true lives!! The best way to live🤙
Cheers, it’s been a wild ride but we love it🤘
I look forward to watching you guys every Monday - love it. You are both so chilled with 3 gorgeous boys. Keep doing you and living the dream
Thanks Alison , we love sharing our journey 😊
What you see is what you get. Love this channel energy and family love cheers from South Africa
Appreciate the support Shaun 🤘🤠
You guys are down to earth and honest people. The best family to follow on YT. I work in the health industry you and your family are living life to the fullest. Life is way to short you are giving your boys life skills that aren't taught in a classroom any more. Take care see you next week
Thanks so much😊 yes life is way too short - we are very grateful to be travelling australia and bringing up our boys in this lifestyle (:
Love your honesty and transparency in a less than transparent world. We watch as we love to travel this beautiful land, and we love to watch your family living their best life. I bet you’re looking forward to Christmas; who knows, we might see you around, not that we’ll bother you. Happy travels and happy days! 😊😊😊
Thank you so much Cynthia (: yes we are looking forward to a break and just spend some time with family (: we appreciate your support!
So many different questions that I never thought about. Wow! You guys are awesome 👌
Hope you got something out of it (: thanks for the support (:
Love the laid-back attitude. You're enjoying your time as you should and taking every day as it comes.
Cheers mate! It's all about the journey, not the destination. 😎
Great Q & A - appreciate your honesty. Thanks for keeping it authentic.😁🌺
Thanks so much for the support, appreciate it! 😁
Thank you so much for sharing and for your honesty ❤❤
Thanks for the support, it means a lot! 😊
Love your Q & A, we get a lot of the same questions, we love our truck, never go back to a car. Your children will never forget the time you are giving
them in your travels, happy travels xo
So glad to hear you guys love to truck too🤘 We couldn't agree more! We are so lucky to get to do this with our kids. 😊
Best comment ever "Just do what ever you want, don't listen to us" hahahaha best advise ever 🤣
Yeah sometimes you just gotta go with your gut! 🤘😂
Bloody love how honest you guys are. Thanks again for an awesome vid! Wish you all the best on your travels .
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it! We try to keep it real haha.
I love your honesty so rare
Thanks so much 🤘 there needs to be more honesty out there on social media (:

Thanks for the support, appreciate it! 😊

We have said it before but worth saying again. ELNICKS KEEPING IT REAL
A real down to earth family living life. Love your videos Nick & Elenya
You guys are the best! Thanks so much for supporting us each week! Means a lot (:
What a hoot you two are! I just love your natural chat style and honesty..Thankyou
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it!🤘
I don't think you realise how amazing you are. Totally chilled with such entertaining content. Your delivery seems off the cuff but so articulate. I expect that Netflix might make you an offer soon!
Haha! We appreciate the compliment. Hahah no staging here, no time for that 😂 We’re just happy to share our journey so thanks for the support 😊
We love you guys and it is great that you stuck up for all of the caravan industry because I know their is a lot of frauds as we are on our second van after twelve months of full time travel and are very happy with our van now but very disappointed with the last company.Always tight lines and if the the stars align we might cross paths and have a beer. 🦐🐟🦈🎣👍
Who did you go with please?:)
@ we now own a wonderland and after three months are very happy with it.after service has been great
So sorry you had a bad experience Initially but it’s great you’ve found a manufacture you like (: thanks so much for the support! Means a lot! Hope to see you out there (:
I love you guys yous a so natural 😊
Thanks so much Jenny 🤘✨
Love watching you guys always get a laugh and how great you are together ❤️
Thanks so much 😊 we make a great team!
We love you guys and your videos Please just keep doing what you do Look forward to every week ❤️
Thanks Wayne (: we will 🤘
Great chat, but we really missed those boys!
Tell you truth we really didn’t notice the signage removed from the van, shows you how observant we are 😂.
Thanks for being who you are, sincere, honest and transparent, oh and a lot of fun and entertaining.
Have a great week and see you next week.
Cheers
Sharon & Jon
We're glad you enjoyed the chat! Cheers! 🤠Thankyou for your support! (:
Thanks for sharing your travels and the honesty . Hopefully, cross paths one day
Thanks for the support! Hopefully we do too 😊
You guys are marvellous, so sad to hear you had so much trouble with your van, we are having similar problems with our car manufacturer, but glad you have move on for your families sake. After all that is the most important thing.
Thanks so much Annette, we are just happy to travel and do our own thing (: oh no I’m so sorry to hear your having a hard time, hopefully it all gets fixed for you soon 🤞🤞
You guys rock - love your videos and always keeping it real 👏👌
Thanks so much 🤠✨
You guys seem to be the best couple/family who do the TH-cam travelling videos. You’re fun, crazy, honest and don’t seem to rush, you find a place and if you like it, you seem to stay for a while, which is great…..making the most of a good thing.
Thanks so much! We love exploring new places and soaking it all in. 🤠 appreciate the support (:
Awesome Q&A absolutely love watching you guys, we are about to head off on our 12 month lap and constantly watch your videos for advice. We have 2 young boys and watching how relaxed you are with your boys is inspirational 😊. Good on you for distancing yourself from a manufacturing company you are not happy with, it's better that than endorsing a company that isn't true to yourselves, well done.
We’re so glad to hear you are finding our videos helpful! Good luck on your travels, we hope you have a blast 😊 see you out there!
Loved the vid. Can’t wait for the next
Thanks so much 🤘🤠
Really enjoyed this video and your honesty. You’ve made me come to a realisation that I need to come back to why I am traveling and you have given that to me.
Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the bad hey but remembering why you started in the first place makes it a lot better (: if you need a chat our inbox is always open (: thanks for watching 🤠
We're total newbies to the van life so really appreciate all your vids. I get great ideas lol.
Awesome to hear - glad you’re finding it helpful and enjoy the journey!🤠
Good for you guys sticking true to your believes. Do it your way👍
Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it!(:
🎉 you guys do you
Glad you worked out what continues to make you happy even if it is distancing yourself from a company that is not aligned with your values. Well done . Always enjoy you’re content regardless of the manufacture name on you’re van just be you and thanks for you’re honest advice in this episode 😊
It’s great to hear you enjoyed the episode, we’re happy to be honest and transparent with our experiences! Appreciate the support (:
Another top video guys, thank you. Great honest answers. Happy safe travels.
Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!🤠
Wow guys great episode your little family are amazing and I love watching your journey such a breath of fresh air and honest. I watch a fair few U tubers and they say one thing about their amazing vans and cars and then within months they get rid of em and then say how good the next one is lol ( not all we have met some that are just as honest and real as you guys )
Hope we cross paths one day would love to meet you all in person Safe travels
Yes there are still some good people out there which is so great! (: thanks for the support (:
An amazing family to watch each week .. we look forward to each episode.. Safe travels Guys
Thanks so much guys! We appreciate the support each week! (:
Great episode as always, just love our Friday nights with you guys 😂. I absolutely loved the comment regarding “don’t listen to us, do your own thing”, as we have just retired and are starting our own travels. Hubby met Nick earlier this year at Big Lagoon, hopefully I will get to meet “big mumma” and “big fella” on the road someday. Keep up the good work, keep on smiling and “let it go” 😂 good to hear the boys were not left on the side of the road for this episode 😅. Hubby said to say that if you get around the Norseman/Wisgemooltha area go to Cave Hill, you will love it.
We love that you guys are starting your adventure! Hope to bump into you guys on the road someday (: appreciate your support!
What a great video....listened with interest til the end. Really appreciate your honesty and frankness, thankyou. And so pleased you worked past the trappings of branding - makes your opinions so much more credible.
We appreciate you taking the time to watch, thanks for the kind words 👍
Keep up the great work and keep being who you are. Love watching and learning from you.
Thank you so much! It’s great to hear you can take some things away from our episodes (:
Lovely ep and area and chat guys, Life is what you make it, just keep chipping away
100%! Thanks for the support each week Craig 🤘🤠
@@elnick.adventures no worries love your channel
Read your comments and everyone nailed it. Nothing left to say..... Haha. Your family has totally turned me , I'm so happy to be uncle D. Home schooling for your family will work and can't wait too watch em grow into the future of this country we all call home. All the best .D from Colac.
Thanks so much 🤘😂😂 kids although are hard at times they seriously are amazing! Being a parent is the best but totally understand those who choose not too (: it’s a very personal choice ✨ appreciate your support (:
Well done guys love your channel because you are so genuine keep up the great work look forward to many more episodes 🙂
Thanks so much for the support! We appreciate it. 😊
Yep another great episode. I look forward to watching you guys come Friday. Thanks for sharing your lifestyle with us.
We are so glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching. (:
I really like seeing how u don’t take each others little digs personally. It’s very easy for couples to be offended about little comments but u guys know the other one is only human and u both say “anyway” and move on. I’m much older than u guys and ur teaching me how to be more chilled. Thank u x
😂😂 haha yes we have a lot of fun together and make a great team (: very lucky!
Thank you so much the support 🤠
When you stop traveling some day you could start your own caravan company..❤️❤️🥰🙏
Who knows 😊thanks for watching 🤠
Love you guys, keep doing what you doing, and don't change shit for no one........
Thanks for the share 🇿🇦🤙👍
Hell yeah! 🤘 thanks so much for the support every week! (:
Good video guys.
I watch you for your honesty and rawness.
I agree with budgets.
Just gotta get out there and do it.
We will be selling everything and hitting the road.
On the caravans, you only have to watch how many youtubers swap vans every year or 2 and you can see that they either getting 100% free vans or they have falling outs of sorts.
I went to the Brisbane van show and as a boily/boat builder and a mechanic I was shocked at the workmanship these companies are bringing to shows and putting them out as their products.
Let alone the aftershaves service.
I would not buy any van that is showing at show.
My research has come up with 3 van manufacturers that excel in qld in my opinion and all 3 were 100% happy to talk to me even tho I'm still acouple of yrs out of hitting the road
Oh that’s so exciting that you guys will be hitting the road too! Yes we 100% agree with you (: yes a lot of research goes into finding a good quality van! (: thanks so much for commenting and supporting us (:
You guys are the best no doubt my faves on YT keep being yourselves ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much, we appreciate your support! 🤠
Thanks so much, we appreciate your support! 🤠

Hey guys, love your videos. Waking up Fridays and announcing to the family it’s “Elnick Friday “ is the best day of the week. Love that you keep it real and don’t gloss it up for the likes.

I enjoyed your q&a. Your such a precious family. I want to say to you dear ones. You've already been homeschooling. It's not about book learning, it's about teaching your boys how to survive and be successful in everyday life and your boys know WAY more than the average boys at this point. Way to go, your already a success.❤
Thanks so much, we appreciate your support 😊
Hello my lovelies, looking forward to this extended Ep, thank you 👏👏

Good episode as always thanks.. stay safe have fun
Thanks so much for watching! We're having a blast! 🤠
A breath of fresh air happy days love the vids.
Thanks so much 😊
Very interesting episode and from watching other TH-camrs I definitely wouldn’t be involved with most van manufacturers in an ambassador roll. There is another family travelling that had big problems with their van. Keep smiling and enjoying life.
It's a shame to hear about others' negative experiences, hopefully its worked out soon for them! . Thanks for watching! 😊
Sorry you had such a bad experience with your home. Glad you can are in a position where you don't have answer to a manufacturer. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks heaps for the support and yeah it’s been a crazy journey! 😊
Awesome work guys .
Thanks heaps for the support, we appreciate it! 😊
I kick hubby and the dog out once a week turn my music up and do a proper clean when working and just accept once a week it sparkles. You just have to learn to be ok with a little bit of mess and clutter.
We're in Newman for a few more weeks and by noon it was 43c. Take your time getting to the Pilbara after christmas itll be pretty hot till after Feb.
Being away from my son when he was seriously ill has been the hardest part about travel life. We were just too far from anywhere to get back to him within 2 days . It would have almost been the same time to drive back none stop, so we had to wait and trust the hospital.
Great quest and answer ep guys. Kept it real.
Yes isn’t it a nice feeling when everything is clean even if it’s for a few seconds 😂
Hope you’re staying as cool as you can! Newman would be very hot now 🥵
Oh wow! That would have been extremely hard for you guys :( hope he’s doing okay!
Another great episode, i am so thankful you both kept going this is by far the best channel it has inspired me for the last year to finish building my canter motorhome. Thanks for the effort you guys put into the YT videos it is so worth every second of it.
We’re really glad you’re enjoying our content and it’s helping you along the way! 🎉 all the best with the rest of the build! Let us know when you’ve finished it 🤘 such an achievement (:
Hi Team Elnick, great insight and honest answer's are appreciated and sometimes funny,,,,safe travels and enjoy your Xmas.. Keep posting 👋💙❤
