    Totally agree with you about preferring to put more money towards travelling than an expensive setup. It's also refreshing to see people travelling who have a budget for their setup ( like most of us) as opposed to those who don't. Some setups are out of reach for most of us but you guys are keeping things real 😊

    Hi, from a Secondary teacher here in Victoria, life on the road and being home-schooled would be an awesome experience. I know there are very good home-schooling programs out of QLD (had friends do it), however do your research.... don't think for a second that he will miss out on the socialisation in high- school... post COVID, kids have changed and there is more behaviour issues in schools now than before. The perks of being home-schooled even in Secondary is the flexibility.. to get school done early and pursue other interests (that are also, often hands on learning) All the best.

      I also wanted to add, that often kids who are home-schooled have better results than the state average and performe better in their chosen field later in life. There are stat's that show they do better at University also. All state schools have an agenda, the state sets what the curriculum will be and how much needs to be completed at what yr level... Home-schooled kids have more flexibility in that you can spend more time on topics of interest and/ or if they struggle with a particular concept. And on the flip side move through the topic that come easy for them.. Personally I would look for a curriculum that fosters inquiry based learning (problem solving) of course only if that suits your child.... that's the point, right what is going to benefit the child and the family...

    Great video. Everyone says if you are going to buy a Jayco buy second hand because all the kinks have been ironed out. We bought a second hand expanda and we love it.

    A good compromise for air suspension is to fit BOS legs you level up with them and can lift your van of the ground if needed. No more ramps under the wheels. Each one can lift 1600kg.

    Hello, looking to purchase a Franklin Core 18.5 only 2 people we only use for small trips etc , own a crusader and way to big so trading. How have you found the Franklin as now purchased a jayco
    Cheers

    • @fivedownunder
      @fivedownunder  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We absolutely loved the Franklin! It didn't let us down! The build quality was absolutely amazing, especially being leaf sprung and semi off road and we took it off some great tracks and put it to the test! (The Gibb, Cape York) We don't have a bad word to say about our old Franklin caravan 🙌🥰
