  • In this episode, Laura travels to Ballarat to pick up the caravan after its service and head into the bush for a solo camping trip. Towing the 3.5 tonne caravan on her own and navigating the narrow dirt roads adds to the adventure of this discovery. Troy stays back on the farm and starts the process of building our new deck to be ready in time for our Engagement Party.

    Some decent mirrors will make a huge difference to someone who can’t manoeuvre a caravan , clearview are a great unit . Deck looks awesome. 👍

      Hey Greg, Haha I said the exact same thing to Laura when l saw her footage 🤣, it's a game changer l used the cap holder this morning 👌. We try to do the same and drive shorter distances. Thanks for tuning in and commenting 🍻

    Hear too many horror stories about caravan warranty repairs.
    Friend of mines parents bought their retirement caravan set it all up to travel and needed to get some minor warranty repairs. When they picked it up the curtains they had fitted to every window had somehow disappeared the repairer said there wasn’t any curtains in that model van hahaha
    Thanks for another great video and wishing you a happy engagement

    Sad to see there's no pride in the work that's done by some companies 😕
    Once it's sold and they got they money 💰, no care attitude 😢 hope you have a better experience next time 🤔 Troy the decking is coming on nicely 👌
    Have an awesome week and see you legends on the next one 😎 Greetings and cheers 🍻 from south africa 🇿🇦

    I share the towing with partner and get the similar comments when I tow as well. We are all quite capable of towing. Think about it folks, if your don't tow the van and your partner falls ill or worse you will be stranded!

    • @JourneyUnknown

      Thanks for watching and commenting, We couldn't agree more 👌. It's so important to share the towing, the more you do it the more competent and comfortable you'll become.
      Happy travels 😃

    It's a real problem these days, not getting good service. It's not that hard to clean up. I hope you'll have a better experience next time. You get the caravan serviced somewhere else. Keep up the good work.

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Ed 🍻. We will try and find a good caravan service centre. Definitely won't be using these guys again 🙄

    Great video
    I can not believe how a repairer could leave your van in that state after a service and warranty work absolutely terrible. I hope you get that sorted.

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for watching and commenting 🍻 😊. it is hard to fathom😮 we will use another company moving forward.

    So good to see the no cables or pipes were harmed in the making of this video! 😆
    Made my blood boil seeing the state of your van, I don’t get how people can stay in business with that kind of work.
    Not sure if you got my address correct, my invite for the engagement still hasn’t arrived 🤷‍♂️🤣
    Great episode guys👍

      😂 yeah it is hard to fathom 🤔.. You do know how bad Aus Post is 😉. Thanks for tuning in again 🍻 👍

    Hi Laura and Troy, Awesome video as always. Oh wow, the shape of your camper that's awful, then the shower, what were they doing 😳 I hope you let them have it. And they fix everything they've done. Because that's not even right.
    It's a shame you gotta watch where you camp also just because you have something newer. I'm happy you finally got to go camping cool dinosaur 🦕 hehehe. Troy's making a lot of progress with the deck looking good. I can't wait to see what it looks like completely finished.
    Thank you for sharing and for all the hard work and time you put into these videos they are truly awesome.
    Y'all are Awesome!
    KEEP ADVENTURING
    GOD BLESS Y'ALL
    🤗HUGS🤗

      Oh we know, we couldn’t believe the state of the van! I decided not to let them know because I don’t want to deal with them anymore. They don’t provide customer service. It was good to getaway and Troy has done an amazing job on the decking. We will reveal all overtime. Now we’re off to make more videos! Have a great week Susan.

    Just found your channel and loving it. Question on this episode: Troy why didn’t you just drive the crush through the gate at the stock ramp?

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching and commenting. The gate near the stock ramp is really tight and more suitable for an Atv. 🍻

    Great episode. How big is the farm?

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Peter, it's not huge, just enough to manage at this stage 😀

  • @michaelrouhan4641
    @michaelrouhan4641 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very disappointing about work on the van, it’s the finish off and state it was left. Make sure you let them know.? Keep up the work on the farm for the engagement 👍😁

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Michael, We've had many conversations with this company they seem to brush everything off very quickly. Sometimes you just need to walk away. Thanks for tuning in 🙏

      🤣🤣🤣 clearly you didn’t watch the whole episode or the busted one properly. Have a great day Squishy!

  • @TheGoose1170

    not a good look for ballarat city caravans ,chauvinistic and not cleaning up after a job. Creswick regional park is very nice but your right a few shady camp dwellers

    • @JourneyUnknown
      @JourneyUnknown  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching and commenting. We didn't mention which dealership or service centre it was however the service was not up to standard of our expectations regardless. We're looking forward to going back to Creswick but just need to find the right spot.
