CARAVAN CHALLENGES WHEN REMOTE|Caravanning
Caravan breakages or damage to your caravan when remote is one of the most challenging experiences you will face when travelling around Australia and doing the big lap. You do expect some damage due to off-road and remote conditions but it is still a horrible and inconvenient situation when it happens.
In this episode we experience more bad luck and damage when travelling to a remote station on corrugated roads. It requires 4x4 capability to get here and we need to drive to the conditions. Even when being extremely cautious things can go wrong when off-road caravanning.
Fortunately some bad roads lead to some excellent memories and beautiful camping stays near the Ningaloo Coast in Western Australia. Not all is lost and we manage to have an amazing week of travel near the beautiful beaches of the Ningaloo Coast.
We hope our episodes bring you some information on what to expect when travelling around Australia and also as we share our amazing travelling story.

Love your positivity Sue, glad you managed to butter your own roll Deryck 😂, your wife is appreciative I'm sure 😅. Tip: buy Sue a nice bottle of champagne and wine with Corks (champagne are larger bulbous and wine skinnier - they make ideal emergency water plugs that can be easily crafted/cut to fit most applications.. I have even drilled one out to make an emergency tap fitting once, and also a pair of hose crimps or small pair of vice grips to clamp off water lines to prevent the loss of water if a fitting or pipe breaks. Also handy should a brake line bursts etc.(Just a tip that I use - take from it what you wish) Great episode guys - fantastic editing Deryck - you both make my day 😊

Hi Guys Hey Deryck, can I offer a little tip, I'm sure you've got your water tank issue sorted, however if it was yo happen again ( God forbid) that hose that was letting out water from tank two, just bend it over back on itself and cable tie it tight That will stop the water till you can fix mate, great episode once again gho

I even buttered my own roll! woohoo!!! Go Deryk! Brass fittings are where it is at. Yes, very bad luck and you are doing way better than me at staying positive. Apparently, that's how it goes. Would never happen at home but always happens on the road. And cost a heap of extra money. The underwater life was amazing. Obviously a wonderous place to spend a few days. Seems I will never get there now. Sold my property but buying a new one has drained the coffers. That's the reality of life in eastern Aus.

Great video, thanks for sharing, I heard some people were allowing the caravan park water to go through their pipes etc., worse thing to do as their water is not desalinated bore water, hence the salt is going to wreck the plumbing in the Caravans who have chosen to do that, I went to Bullara Station Stay for that reason, an amazing place to camp for many nights

The first thing I did when I got our new van was I got underneath and checked what the manufacturer missed and then put a big blob of silicone around each tap screwed into each tank. Then I got some 3mm rubber and made a shroud by sliding in the rubber between the tank and the sheet metal to make a shroud to protect the tap. BTW I went through 2 tubes of silicone finding things they missed or added more protection.

I was really upset to see you with tears on the video Promo pick. But non on video feel like was click bait Really glad it was fixable problem and you were not hurt for any reason (re tears)But was annoyed that pick was even there and sorry we did laugh when you said he was a plumber but unable to kink hose and cable tie or tape up

Sorry Cathy, didn't mean to upset you in anyway and appreciate your feedback. We take all feedback onboard and appreciate that you shared it. And yes can't believe neither one of us thought to bend pipe back! Think we were just so flustered with 3 issues the week before and then this issue. Anyway will remember for next time. Hope you have a lovely week!
Fold the leaking hose over and cable tie it…too late now I guess…

You needed to carry 2part putty so that you can cover hole until you can repair it.

Thanks Natalie, that's a top tip! Appreciate it!
Why why didn’t your catch some water 💦
If you don’t put a pool noodle or similar on all plastic pipes in line with your truck tyres you won’t make the Gibb. Everything under the van is about to get pounded to death. Good luck it’s called off roading. You against the elements see who wins

Thanks for the heads up Trevor. Appreciate it! Yes I think we will get a pounding. Will try to prepare but inevitably something goes wrong in conditions like that!
Here's hoping that was the last of your bad luck. 🤞

You could've just folded the hose over and cable tied it

Why didn’t you just fold the plastic hose back on its self put a tie rap around it to save loosing the other tank of water 🤔 instead of watching it was down the road.

You’d think when your paying the best part of $100k for a caravan that the manufacturers could at least use brass tank fittings wouldn’t you? The extra $5 is going to break the company’s profit margins? 🤷♂️🙄 Of course plastic fittings are going to fatigue & break on corrugated roads over time.

Yes 100% agree. Our friend brought hos brand new caravan home and changed out all the fittings for brass straight away!
Sue you’re looking great. Keep doing whatever your doing. You’re going to disappear soon 😊
