When Caravan Life SUCKS / Darwin Wet Season

- WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER VIDEO!
It feels like EVERYTHING goes wrong and caravan life just feels too hard.
We booked our caravan in to get some work done which was only meant to take 1 day. It ended up taking 3. After a lot of dodgy workmanship we end up getting it done to our standard.
Our air conditioner then dies on us and we have to wait ages to get a new one. Not to mention its 33 degrees everyday and very very high humidity. Talk about sweat city.
We finally have a win and start house and dog sitting, just in time for the Holiday Season (YAY AIRCON).
We hope you enjoy this video and feel free to ask us any questions.
Happy travelling guys!!
Chelsea & Bryce 😊

Lovely video, thanks for sharing 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I've got lots of memories of caravanning from the age of 3, in Wales (1972) and love the look of this channel. I intend to check your uploads regularly. Good luck with everything, and seasons greetings.
Sounds like you have lovely memories.
Thank you for watching the channel. We do try and upload frequently 😊👍🏽
Great videos you pair just Free Willy the hell out of it keeping it real
🥰🥰
The ibis 4 is brilliant you will be happy with the unit. Darwin is a regular place we visit with our daughter and family long time residents. Great video cheers both.🇦🇺👍🎄😷🍷
Okay great to hear 👍🏽 still waiting on it 🥵
Thanks for watching!
Lived in Darwin for 3 years, the wet season is tough. Keep your aircon on about 20 so it won't ice up as set too low causes the ice which blocks the airflow. You will have no issues if you find it's sweet spot. Thanks for the cool vid.
Thanks! 👍🏽😊
wet season tough, why?
@@trinitymatrix9719 100% humidity all the time
It is quite pointless trying to collect the moisture in the caravan by any means. Humid air is coming in constatly, your best bet is insuring good ventillation to prevent mold forming.
Yes we do make sure we’ve got good ventilation with fans and opening windows 😊Cheers for the feedback
Keep up the good work, enjoy your videos, we have an ibis in our 2010 Jayco, we have had it running 24/7 in 2 past trips to Darwin and have had no issues,all the best from Perth WA
Thanks Tony!
Seems like the best aircon on the market 👍🏽
Thanks for the video. We have the same old aircon in our van which is making the same noises...lol. Thankfully not dripping water though! I have to replace ours soon in our Jayco Westport 19ft van so will be very interested to hear how your new Ibis 4 handles the top end heat in that size van. Keep up the great video work and enjoy the top end wet season!
Thanks for the message!
😊😊
A bag of kitty litter does a better job of absorbing moisture and is cheaper. I even put some in an old sock in the car to stop moisture forming in th windows. Cheers.
Thanks Bernard for the tip 👍🏽😊
Hope you washed the sock first.
Great video 💖💖💖💖
Thanks Leanne 💕
Great video as always. Very fortunate to be able to house sit, in air conditioning. Belated Merry Christmas and hope your 2021 travels can continue. From snowy ( 6 inches = white Christmas ) North America
Thanks for following along Adrian.
Merry white Christmas! A white Christmas sounds amazing 😍😍
Totally agree got to have pineapple on Pizza 😁 enjoy following your channel keep yo the great work.

Hope you both had a great Christmas in air conditioning😀🎅🏼
Thank you Susan. It was a great day!
Hope yours was great too 💕
That little dog looked like he/she was missing his mum and dad
Hi guys, just wanted to drop you a line. I’ve just subscribed to your channel. Came across you on Facebook probably on the Roadstar page I think? and you struck a cord as we have a 2004 Roadstar Vacationer Tango as well that we have owned for 13 years. We absolutely adore it as well. Ours is a different layout but has many similarities. We don’t have an en-suite (and want one now) but double bunks from the days when our kids were younger. We have been looking for a replacement van for years but still can’t find anything that is better. Spookily my hubbys name is Bryce too. We did the lap 24 years ago when our boys were 2 and 4 but in a jayco camper trailer back then. Our air conditioner is still going but looks crap on top so we are going to paint it soon. We are currently locked down at home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches so will travel vicariously with you until we can get back out there again. Safe travels. Nicci and Bryce
Hey Nicci and Bryce!
Thanks for reaching out to us. We love hearing other people’s stories and how much they love their Roadstars. We only got ours 15 months ago. We used to have a pop top without an en-suit. So happy we made the swap to Vacationer Tango because we love it 😍
Hopefully the lockdown won’t last too long and you guys can get travelling again 🤞🏾🤞🏾
Cheers again for watching!
Hows it going i lived in Darwins everytime 30 years ago we use to have mcdonalds parties and you had to get it shipped up from South Australia there was no maccas in Darwin then haha good times.
Oh wow! Yeah a bit different now 😂😂
Agreed, pineapple is a must, never a truer word has been spoken! #pizzapinapple

@@CaravanAdventureAus have a Grrrrrrrr8 Christmas and a happy new year 🎉🎉🎉✨🎊🌲🎄🍎🍉🍓🍇🍊
@@kamransyed8205 yes you too 👍🏽😊
Awesome thunderstorm... I do love a good thunderstorm. ⚡🌩
Same 🙊🥰
Did anyone notice on the new checkerplate grab handles and lower clearance lights not refitted
We asked for them not to be refitted. We think they look a bit silly and not needed.
Thanks Ed for watching the video 😊👍🏽
I wouldnt recommend standing on the roof of a caravan as done in this video.
Better to have planks or something across roof to lean on.
The aircon has a support beam normally but additional weight could effect roof framework
Thanks for the comment Ed 😊 We do have some planks of wood we usually use when working on the roof for a longer period of time.
Cheers for watching 👍🏽
How are snakes treating you?
Haven’t seen any yet thank god haha
@@CaravanAdventureAus haha what about lovely crocodiles? 😂
@@jasonwright9405 haha yes uncounted a view of them. You’ll have to check out our croc and shark video if you haven’t already
