    Well not every day can be beautiful I guess, but it's a little harder with kids locked up in the van. At least you are out there enjoying life that some can only dream about. Thanks for sharing as usual. Stay dry, safe and healthy.

      Yeh thats it, it is more tricky to entertain the kids and clem did a great job while i dealt with the car. We are very fortunate to be able to do what we do

    Life on the road with kids. We only did it for 2 years. Good days and bad. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey guys - what was the road like to the Big 4 at Yamba. The last time we went there it was atrocious.
    It’s good to show that there are always those crappy days 😂
    We might pass you as we head back up to home to Brisbane and will say hello 👋

      It was all bitumen and was pretty good, couple of pot holes but nothing drastic.
      We have head inland a little but will be back near brissy in a couple of weeks

    Nice episode. We did a switch for our diesel heater when I installed it for that reason being able to quickly isolate. I always turn it off at the switch when not in use for peace of mind.

    I just put new CV's in our 100 series and the Genuine Toyota ones cost me 790 each. I'm about to see about a lift kit as ours is standard height and soft in the rear with the caravan on. From what you say a diff drop bracket seems essential. Hope there's better weather in the next video. :)

    • @Ourwhittleadventure
      @Ourwhittleadventure  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeh i highly recommend the diff drop, ive only had one in for a couple of years now but the angles look much better.
      Yeh genuine are expensive! Ive always just put the repco ones in and they usually last but these ones are obviously getting a bit of a workout over the last couple of years, a part time kit mught be my way forward if it keeps happening.
      Yeh weather got a bit relentless that week, so hard to do anything

    What made you swap to QLD number plates Mark and Clem? I’m assuming QLD is like WA where you can just pay the rego when it’s due without having to have inspections?

      Yeh same same but to get a gvm upgrade done in qld it needed to be registered in queensland, hence the change. So technically im a qlder for the time being 😅
