You guys really are great ambassadors for traveling. You offer so much good sensible, logical advice. We're got three weeks before we head to the South Island NZ for three months & we're doing what we do before any big trips. We're planning our loading, looking at things we'll need & those we don't. The old saying.."if you fail to plan, your planning to fail ". Thanks guys. Love following you. ❤️
Thank you so much Dave for your kind words! Wow 3 months to explore the South Island will be incredible!! We will get to travel NZ one day (we’ve been for work years ago) take care, happy planning and thank you again 🙏😊💙
Thanks guys you really cover everything. We picked up our brand-new van on 21st December from Yatala (after 20 months wait) and just did 3 weeks in North Queensland and loved it. It was a massive trip but well worth it. We're planning our 4month trip starting in May down south we realise its winter but living in hot weather all the time we can't wait, got a sneaky little trip to Big Red Bash planned with our kids and their families for us this will be special as we live so far apart and we will both be 60 this year. Thanks again 💖💖💖
A fabulous episode regarding a full range of advice . Thoroughly enjoy your You Tube Chanel with all you have to see and do . We are oldies ( I mean retired ) but have been part time caravanning for a very long time . We have done the big lap a few times , Cape York , Gibb RR , central Australia to name a few but totally agree with all that you are saying re travelling the road . After 2 1/2 weeks down on the south coast east of Esperance in February , we head across the Nullarbor to Melbourne to change our caravan over for our new build and then to wherever en route back to Perth . Well done , and look forward to your 2023 travels .
Hi...just came across your channel...loving it. You are the loveliest couple. Cant wait to go back and watch all your previous episodes...inspiring hubby and I to get out there...safe travels guys
Thank you 🙏 we have a walk through our new van that you will love - episode #144. We will also have our 12 month review of our van coming up in a couple of weeks so stay tuned 💙🕺
Thanks Guy’s, as usual great presentation, I like your recommendation re recording the hand over , you are right there is a lot to take in.. Our new Caravan has been delayed once again, I was supposed to be ready for pick up in October, now pushed out to March 23, on the bright side maybe diesel fuel will have come down by then😅
Holy Moley that is incredibly frustrating for you guys but yes fingers crossed on the diesel!! 😅 you seem to have the best attitude towards this delay so good on you and stay positive - time flys!! 🍻😎🇦🇺
Thanks heaps team for the help as always. I have tinkered with the Sygic app and can’t seem to find where to add vehicle specs for navigation….I must be doing something wrong. Hope your time in Hervey Bay has been good.
Thank you both for sharing your wisdom and good times. If you have young children (I have a 2 year old) did you test the waters with some shorter trips first to make sure your plans wouldn’t be ruined by tears?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the episode. Yes we did a lot of shorter trips before we set off, and even did 3 weeks in a hired Motorhome down to NSW and VIC. Thankfully Jasper has always loved being in the car 😅 Kids are so resilient and adaptable 👍
@@TheFeelGoodFamily Depends on the kid. Mine has never been a fan of being in the car. Think he gets motion sickness as used to regularly vomit even going to the shops. Might have to wait until he’s 3 and we have actual communication happening and can explain the adventure. Anyways, until my time comes I will live the lifestyle vicariously through yourselves as I have been the past six months 😅 P.S. I know it’s been said before but whoever does the editing out of you both, deserves a Logie. Top notch production even back in season 1 👍🏻
Great info, well done. Question re Starlink, does Starlink connect to telsta samsung or iphone for wifi calls? So when out of mobile range you can still make wifi only calls. Thanks for concidering this question.
Hi Denise, you will need to check in store with the telco provider. We are Telstra and it works perfectly for us using wifi to make calls, video calls, FaceTime etc. amazing!! 😊
Hi guys, we have a couple of episodes dedicated to this question and can be found in our YT playlist. We work full time producing content and have met people from every walk of life doing it their way - what we have seen across our 3 years full time is that people are incredible and anything is possible!! All the best
😅 we love that you have called it private special parent time - in our last van we had a concertina door…. In this one we have a curtain on the bunk… so timing is everything!! A favourite saying of ours in the caravan world is ‘windy night parents delight!’ 😂
We are looking to travel next year and was looking at 24ft caravans, some sales people told us that we shouldnt buy that size because a lot of caravans will say you are too big, can you provide some advice on this?
Hi guys, exciting times ahead for you. We travelled full time in a 23ft van for the first few years, staying in van parks at least 60% of the time and in that period had an issue at 3 or 4 parks where we were too big. That said we also realised that losing a couple of feet in length can make a lot of positive difference to towing, overall weight, campgrounds etc. we now realise that you ‘need’ a lot less than you think and the less you have the easier life becomes 🙏 if you are travelling with a large family 24’ makes sense…. But maybe looking at 19’-21’ foot vans is worth considering 😅 our van is 21’ with twin bunks and can come with triple bunks 👍
Thanks Guys enjoyed the video. Keep up the great work . 👍👍 Enjoy 2023 and Stay Safe !🍻🍻
Cheers Mark - we’re excited for this years adventures, travel safe 🌴☀️😊

Happy New year!
Where did you learn to tow? I’d love to get a caravan but I have never towed a van. Have you any ideas where to go? To learn
Thanks heaps team for the help as always. I have tinkered with the Sygic app and can’t seem to find where to add vehicle specs for navigation….I must be doing something wrong. Hope your time in Hervey Bay has been good.
Never mind…there is a truck and van version….should have looked further into it. Doh
We actually need to check Sygic as it’s been a couple of months since we’ve needed to used it 😅🇦🇺👍
Hi Guys, how do I purchase one of your mini defuses? I can’t find on your website. Thanks :)
Thank you both for sharing your wisdom and good times.
If you have young children (I have a 2 year old) did you test the waters with some shorter trips first to make sure your plans wouldn’t be ruined by tears?

How do you afford to live on the road without wages coming in?
Hi guys, we have a couple of episodes dedicated to this question and can be found in our YT playlist. We work full time producing content and have met people from every walk of life doing it their way - what we have seen across our 3 years full time is that people are incredible and anything is possible!! All the best
I don’t mean this question in a bad way. But with no doors in your caravan how do you umm have private special parent time? … asking for a friend
😅 we love that you have called it private special parent time - in our last van we had a concertina door…. In this one we have a curtain on the bunk… so timing is everything!! A favourite saying of ours in the caravan world is ‘windy night parents delight!’ 😂

@@TheFeelGoodFamily thanks for the advice.
After downloading Sygic and using beside Waze, in my opinion Waze is more informative and more interactive with the user.
Cheers Peter, we will check that out 👍🍻
