We are an ordinary Australian family, creating extraordinary experiences. We've taken a leap of faith, packed up our lives, said goodbye to the 9-5 grind and hello to 24/7 - life as a traveling family!
Being complete caravanning newbies, we are hoping the experiences we share through our Family Travel Australia series will not only have an educational element, but will inspire you to take your own leap of faith, get outdoors and make memories that will last.
We live by the mantra "You don't need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step!"

Brilliant episode! As usual, you are so helpful and have excellent insight. I’ve posted a link to your TH-cam channel on my new Facebook group Viscount V1, V2, V3 Australia. You have excellent information for all of us new van owners. Love Jasper, he’s such a gorgeous little character. Smart little cookie he is 💕 p.s loved the bloopers lol

[@barrywatler7482]

Hi been following for a while love the adventure found this really interesting I have always avoided the shows because I begrudge paying entry fees but I have to be honest this has changed by mind . Stay safe cheers.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi Barry, that’s great news - I think going early and if possible outside of the weekend if you want to avoid the crowds - I think the next major Qld show is on the Gold Coast 5-8 March 2021 (maybe check closer to dates) . We will try an attend that if in driving range 😊👍 cheers Paul

[@itzassassin5835]

Brilliant content

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you!

[@jodyherd2010]

Hey guys, Love yah channel, Just found it today. Have you guys done a video on how the Hilux tows the van. Keen to know the weight of your set up. Cheers

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi Jody - we are planning a weight check segment in a few weeks and will be able to share the results and details then - id be guessing now as we haven’t weighed in.... hoping we are all good 👍cheers Paul

[@leighorr3310]

Hi Thank you for a great show. Would you recommend the new Coromal Vans. Are they as good as they are saying and would you buy your van over again knowing what you now know about caravanning. Totally agree with your top 10 questions Thanks

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi Leigh, thank you for your support - we are currently in the new Windsor and love our van! We haven’t looked through the new Coromal vans yet but keen to check them out too! When are you planning to hit the road?

[@leighorr3310]

@@TheFeelGoodFamily Hi Thanks for the information I would have been heading out soon but I need to replace my van due to a hail storm. So it just depends in the replacement van. Enjoy your travels.

[@neilocoop]

Really good review and great valid questions. 👍 and some times less is more and each item has to have two uses.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Some great advice - Katie always says that too “if it’s coming on the van it needs to have 2 uses! “ 😊👍

[@Mixos_place]

Totally disagree on the Melbourne caravan virtual show.Its like they had transported the ground version and put it up in digital. So you still had to do a million click to go thru every manufacturer and see what models they had. In this day and age nearly every website has a search function. It seams the the virtual show for got about this. I'm looking for an off road van, how hard would have it been to put a search in to find me vans that are off road?. Cant be done, maybe next year was the response.
Total waste of time.
Dont get me started on the specials , what specials, all smoke an mirrors. I got my milenco mirrors of ebay, much cheaper than their show prices.
Shows are great to get to touch and feel every van, its a long day walking around visiting every manufacturer.The digital one was a massive fail for me.
Now get back on the road and more Jasper the star of the show!

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Some great suggestions MG and would be worth giving them your feedback! Safe travels Cheers, Paul
