Great content and ideas. Definitely worth the time to watch. I was a little upset when the end arrived. Always keep the crowds waiting more. 😅.well done
Hi guys loved your video, using levelling ramps in our travels over the last 4 years, when you have quick over night stay, when the parking is not level, and the car and van are facing down hill, so we put the ramps under the back of the car, and drove up onto the ramps. All good the wife is happy
thanks for practical tips, I'm definitely doing the sullage hose. And the wind mode awning is something we've been doing for a while, works well. re the rattle gun on the stabiliser legs I just use the crank handle seriously its 4 or 5 turns.
Haha your closing comments at the 32 min mark were funny. Ray trips over them all the time then “even us normal people can too ….”. I think she’s saying you’re not normal mate 🤭🍺
Thanks for your tips , we really like the awning one we will definitely be doing that ourselves and we will be doing the water flow one as well. Thanks for sharing. And just seems how the merchandise going ? Take care 👍😀
Glad it could be helpful 😊😊 Ah, it's coming. Aus Post is really slowing things down. It's ETA should be this week coming so I promise it won't be too much longer!!!
I wouldn't leave a lead coiled up when in use. I'm an old tradie and when I need a bit more juice from a 240V tool, I just tightly coil the long 30M lead and place it next to the tool and it gives a few more volts. I wouldn't do that for lengthy jobs as it will burn out the tool I reckon.
Awning tip sounds awesome. One question though, can you still raise the awning or do you have to keep that at the lowest point. This would be a problem for us as we could not open the door. Great video
Great video the market for flash caravan accessories has just gone crazy and you really can do it economically, if you are not buying bits for your van to impress the other people at the park. As far as the drill goes using a drill with an impact option can be dangerous ask my wife!!!!! and her orthopedic surgeon..
Grate tips guys. I really liked the water flow restriction tap on the water pump outflow piping. Here are a couple of my tricks - I put a solenoid activated open valve system on the outflow pipe on my 40 gallon sewage holding tank. Then if you need to empty the tank you can remotely electronically activate the open valve switch from the driver's seat and empty the tank as you drive up the highway. I learned this trick while travelling in SE Asia. It can also be a bit of fun to empty the tank if someone is tailgating you. A couple of solid lumps bouncing up onto their windscreen will slow them down quickly as the wipers smear the brown matter across the windscreen blocking their forward views. And cleaning the windscreen would not be fun for these Rocket Robins at the next Gax Station. Buses in SE Asia use this method for dumping their holding tanks. And I have seen what happens when you run over a sloppy buffalo dump on the road and spray it onto the windscreen of the car following you. My other tip is about levelling platforms for your caravan wheels. Just find a nearby tree and chainsaw it down. You can then cut the tree trunk to size - a customised leveller and it is free. Dont make my mistake however - make sure your caravan is parked well away from the tree you are cutting down. And never operate a chainsaw and chop down a tree while intoxicated. It isn't fun having to put a blue poly tarp over the roof of your caravan. Some simple yet effective caravanning tips. Cheers Brian. Remember: if the girls don't find you helpful, they will at least find you handy.
Love it, never thought about sitting on the tree branch and cutting it off. Good one. That is a really good tip by Ray about the adjustable flow restrictor tap. As you know, I have boats (Yachts etc). Apart from having a water maker, water usage is critical on boats. Shower tip on small boats - 1. Get wet. 2. Soap up. 3. Rinse the soap suds off. End Result: That is a full shower on a boat. Don't laugh, but sometimes I take 25 minute showers on the boat - I really waste the water. Cheers Brian.
I always wanted to put one of those digital scrolling signs on the back of the van saying "dumping toilet waste in 10 . . 9 . . 8 . . 7 . . . " but actually dumping it is a dangerous and lunatic act. What's your real name, Russel Coight ?
@@steeevo0136 No, my name isnot Russell - I have never been coight dumping on the highway. Sorry, I meant "never been caught". But I like the idea of a digital sign at the back of the caravan - it gives people following the chance to pull over and get out of the road. Also, another trick is to dump when going around a blind corner - that way people following don't realise a dump has been done or who did the dump. Many happy dumps to you and may they be "wet and sloppy". Cheers
What a breathe of fresh air - tips with no strings! Excellent tips too, thank you.
Thanks mate - hope they are helpful 😁👍

A lot of tips from experience ( the best teacher) #10 Wind mode is very good. ✅
Glad it was helpful. Seems wind mode has been a very useful tip to a lot of people 😁😁👍👍
Wind mode? Awesome contribution! Trialling it now and it’s working well. Thanks guys.

Yeh definitely done that before too - they have so many uses!!
Definitely giving that awning idea a go :)
Awesome!! It definitely works a treat 😁😁
Thanks
Thank you mate 👍🤩
"Expose yourself to everything"... awesome!
Unvaxed!? ❤❤❤
At least exposing yourself helps to build a stronger immune system 💪💪
Thanks just went to Bunnings and got the drain hose and attachment
Glad it was helpful 👍👍
Tks Guys. Worth waiting another week for that. I like and will copy your hack on the water tap and the awning tricks. Keep up your great work.
Thanks Jerry. Glad some.of these tips could be helpful 😊😊
Thanks for that info. I use my battery drill to mix stuff when I'm baking some food that requires mixing. Great for scrambled eggs.
Haha love the tip 👍👍 might have to try it 😆😆

Love the awning idea,i have a 10 foot hose and a 10ft lead as well
It's definitely handy 😀😀👍👍
Wind mode. Love it.
It's definitely served us well 😁👍
Well done guys.. everything you’ve said makes sense.. keep posting and we’ll keep watching 👍🙏.. John and Helen.. Tasmania
@@johnhinton4780 thanks guys, really appreciate it ☺️☺️👍👍
We have the flat out hoses and sullage and the reels for the power leads. They are brilliant and space saving also easy as to reel in.
Yeah we used to have the flat hose but changed to what we have now in the end ☺️☺️
👏👏 Good stuff, thanks!
Thank you 😊😊👍👍
"Blown away...", no pun intended!😂😂😂
😁😁😁
Great Camp Coffs cap.
Yeh it's pretty good hey 😆
Haha your closing comments at the 32 min mark were funny. Ray trips over them all the time then “even us normal people can too ….”. I think she’s saying you’re not normal mate 🤭🍺
Oh haha yeh being blind I trip over everything!! She's referencing normal people = not blind people 😂😂
Love your grey water hose tip👍
@@nzmarkb8713 thanks mate - hope it was helpful 🙂☺️
😮 great stuff!! 🎉🎉

Good video mate. One thing on the legs of the van they work better if on a little angel, ,both pointing away from each other,
👍👍 Yes, if your legs are long enough then for sure. Unfortunately ours aren't 🫤🫤
What do you connect the cut gray water pipe together with?
So we use 25mm clear PVC tubing, usually available at most hardware stores, RTM, Bunnings etc
Great tips
Thanks - glad it could be of help 😁

Yeah wouldn't recommend it either....I reckon you'd be right about burning out tools.
I like the restriction tip
Yeh works a treat 😁😁👍👍

Yes, you can still raise it as normal ☺️
Thank you!

Yes agree, simple is better sometimes.
And yes, always must be careful using any power tools!!

P.S. great tips 😆😆 Ray usually sits on the branch he's cutting in order to see it better.

Top tips, thanks.
Thanks - hope they can be helpful 😁😁👍👍
??? 9:54 why do I need to cut these in half if I have a Dooley? You lost me.🤔🤔
If you want to put both wheels on a ramp, 9 times out of 10 a full ramp won't fit between the two axles.
