Awesome! Haha that goatee and slug are the right habitat for you mate. I did think Tans would have that barbering under better control
It was a little scary to be honest🤣
Those kelpies are eyeing off the chooks 🙂
Haha they eye them all day! Thanks for watching 👍
It’s the windows frames. Ranger plastic frames are cracked. Snowy river and new gen. We had 7 windows replaced. Van 190 out of 700+ vans
Hey Jorji, thanks for the info, we will check it out for sure. Thanks for watching our vid, hope you enjoyed it 👍
I think the goatee suits you. Should have kept it.lol I always cut my hubby's hair with clippers. Then use that little trimmer to do his neck. Sometimes it's not even.lol
Hey Lyn, Tania won’t do my hair cause she knows if she mucks it up I’ll shave it off 😂 Thanks so much for following our journey 👍
🤣🤣 mate you grow back tho mo immediately! looked amazing!
Haha not anytime soon mate 😂
Re your leak it would pay to have a look at the rear top black plastic “pod”. In similar vans with these “pods” it is a known issue of fine cracks in the plastic and letting water in underneath to van rear resulting in leaks in the bathroom area. They are often if van is post warranty replaced with custom made alloy aftermarket pods from a van repairer in SA. You could have a pool of water in this area under the “pod”. Mikes Mobile Van Repairs in Perth will know about this issue if it is the source. Good luck.
Hey Denis & Deb, thanks so much for the advice, I was suspicious of those plastic pods so I have sealed all around the top to prevent water getting behind them. Fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks heaps for watching our journey 👍
It is mainly fine cracks in the plastic pod letting water in rather than the seal around the pod.
That episode was so funny, our parrot was mimicking your laughing, it was Hilarious 😆
Dying to hear an update on the leak
Haha that’s awesome, we had a rainbow lorikeet before we left NZ, love their little personalities! We will keep you posted on the leak. Thanks for watching 👍
Saw you in Kalbarri when we were on our way out. Will say hi if we bump into you again. The rain is following us too.
Hey guys, definitely come say hi if you see us again. Enjoy your journey, thanks for watching 👍
That mustache though 👌🤣
Very styly haha 😂
Hi Guys, we had issues with water entering our van (same model as yours) from each of the four upper clearance lights on the corners. Where the cable goes through the van wall was not sealed. The rear clearance lights are just attached to a moulding, that sits off the corner on each side. If you take the screws out and slide a knife under the panel to cut the silicon they are stuck on with, you will see that the cable for the clearance light goes through a hole in the van. We had water running down the cable and into the van. Once we sealed where the cable goes through, no more water :)
We have had our van for two years now and love it!! Enjoy your travels. Cheers
Hi Jeremy, oh another one with the same issues with Windsor... it isn't looking positive for the brand in providing water tight vans to customers. Thank you for your advice based on your experience, we will be sure to check there as well. Yes minus the water and a few other little things here and there we are loving the van and the lifestyle it brings. Thank you for watching and commenting 😁
So funny, awesome natural viewing 🤙
Thanks Camo, we try hard to keep it real haha 😂 Thanks heaps for watching 👍
We had a leak issue and we’re told the culprit is often the driving lights up higher than the tail lights (can’t think of what they are called). Check that that area is all sealed. Water can enter and it will fins a channel somewhere to run along and eventually will find an exit. It can often exit well away from the entry point.
Hey Nola, I was suspicious of those little lights so I have sealed everywhere up there I could see that water might get behind them, fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks for the advice and for following our journey 👍
Pass lights, water got through mine as well and the edge seal. They thought no silicone was needed, most manufacturers employ idiots and pay them 10 bucks/hr, care factor of zero.
That was absolutely hilarious 🤣, even funnier at the wrap up of the video you had grown the beard and moustache all back 🤣🤔 ps sorry about the leak in the roof that must be very frustrating 👍
Thanks Daniel 🙌
We had a blast filming it and it was fun to show the silly side of how we generally act. We didn't even notice that the beard was back at the end, nice pick up, and I will leave that to Chris to sort out from now on 🤣
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hi guys! Lovely meeting you at MM yesterday 😊 I forgot to recommend 40 Mile just south of Karratha, beautiful views! 😍
Hey guys, was awesome to meet you also. We will be sure to check that out for sure. Good luck with the rest of your trip. Thanks so much for following our journey 👍
@@LBWAdventures same back to you guys! Be safe wherever the road takes your awesome adventure, one day we will be doing the same ✨️
Chris was starting to look like a new age man lol. It must have been frustrating having the leak and not knowing where it was coming through. Hopefully Chris has sorted it out, a caravaners worst nightmare. Another great episode guys.
Hey Jerome, super frustrating but I think we’re onto now fingers crossed haha. Thanks heaps for watching 👍
Great couple great content you are on a winner
Thanks Brett, we love that you enjoy watching. Thanks for following our journey 👍
If your van has a timber frame I’d be speaking to Windsor as that much water in the walls can cause damage and mould which you don’t want mould
Hey Richard, there is no timber in the van shell, the units are made from plywood which I have opened up and let dry. Thanks so much for your advice and for watching our vids 👍
Hopefully find, best to remove cover moulding and reseal completely
Hey, thanks for the advice but we have all our fingers crossed that we don’t have to get that extreme to find and fix the leak!!! Thank you for watching abs commenting :)
Might be Tania's second time at facial trims....(first and last) 🤣
Hey Bretto, I will be def sticking to the things I'm good at and I can honestly admit that is not one of them 😱🤣
Thanks heaps for the comment and for watching our latest adventures!!!! 🙌
Hope the latest silicon did the trick folks. I was thinking trial and error with a tarp?
Yes we have all fingers crossed that it is fixed but also we hope heading north we stay away from the rain anyway 😁😁 we had enough of that down south!!! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙌
Hi guys sorry to see you having so many problems, hope you are not using clear silicone as most tend to break down in the sun , just a suggestion as you have side and rear fascias it would probably pay to park your van with a slight slope to the front so water can get away and not pool. Ii t is a pity to see so many great van names being bought up by larger companies and the loss of these individual companies who had to compete. Did you silicon behind every screw behind your tv bracket? Have you negated your warranty by doing work yourself?🤔🤠
Hi alan, nice to hear from you again :) we remember you telling us not to use clear previously so we made sure we got white and black so fingers crossed that works. Yes we figured out in the last rain storm that parking on a slight angle did help a lot with the leak and keeping the water flowing the other way. We may have negated the warranty but we couldn’t keep running back to perth to have it fixed all the time so we will get it ship shape ourselves, but yes it is frustrating to spend a lot of money and find so many issues due to bad workmanship or cheap parts.
See Ford finally woke up and put V6 and larger cooling in new Everest at least by the time you become old grey nomads you will know it all lol😃
I was 75 0n the 2nd.of May so could be around long enough to teach you all you need to know LOL PS did you miss the brothel night tour in Kalgoorlie it is a real eye opener.
Happy birthday for earlier in the month 🎉. We did want to go on the brothel tour, but unfortunately they couldn't accomodate us while we were there - will add that to the list for the next visit.
Classic…..don’t let her near your crack back and sack there will be blood 😂
Hey guys, she is definitely band from the clippers for awhile. Thanks for watching 👍
Hi guys just wanted to ask when you ,first bought the caravan, why did you not ,take it to be repaired under warranty, or did manufacture give you ,ok to fix it 🤔
Hey Bruce, bottom line it is our house, we had no where else to live while they took (due to covid) 6 weeks to do a simple repair. We are happy with our decision and will keep persisting while we continue to travel and enjoy the van. Thanks so much for following our journey. 👍
