Caravan Tour Jayco Starcraft - Full Time Van Life / Aussie Road Trip Family.
Caravan Tour Jayco Starcraft Outback - Full Time Vanlife / Aussie Road Trip. Come take a Caravan Tour with us as we show you our small home on wheels. Van life tour after 13 months on the road.
We finally have done it, after 13 months on the road and counting we are giving you a tour of our caravan. Caravanning is not for everyone - so full time can really be tough, but we love it Van Life is an amazing way to see our beautiful country and that is why we wanted to give you a caravan tour.
Our Jayco Starcraft was purchased from our local Geelong Dealership - Jayco Prestige and Jamie is our caravan man. We picked her up in November 2017 and would spend approx 8-10 weeks plus long weekends in her. But finally in 2019 we dicided to make the big step and sell our house to move into a caravan with our two kids.
We have travelled the full lap of Australia - Across the Nullabor, outback Western Australia, Cape Leveque, over the Gibb River Road, Savannah Way - The Cape York and many amazing places and our girl did not miss a beat.
We chose to travel in a full sized caravan, double bunk, ensuit with toilet & shower and washing machine.

Hi. Thanks for the tour, pretty impressed. A question. I noticed a cross in the lounge area and am wondering the significance of it. Hope it means what I think it does. If so I’m like minded. We don’t travel full time but do some big trips in our 18 foot Jayco pop top and Triton dual cab. Keep enjoying this great southern land. Glenn ( southwest wa.)

Hey Glenn, we are from geelong so we get the cold too, but our beaches are no comparison to your stunning ones. We are catholic so we may have a cross up somewhere. She’s been a wonderful van. I did a video after we stopped travelling listing what we broke and it was pretty good after living in it for 2.5 years.

Nothing wrong with the D Max. With the fridge vent why not put some velcro around the vent and use a cover. Works very well as ive seen it in action So what have you done protection wise under the van? If you havent all ready go check out ExploringOZ channel some very good tips and did have a wayco van similar to what you have
@Donna.Buckingham

Yeah the dmax was good but not 4wd or a v8. Good idea with the Velcro! No protection under the van, just as is. Mark has had to add extra struts under near were the table had wobbled. We looked at the new model and looks like they had added more now

Thanks for the tip, Ive checked them out. We have just the full lap over 17 months and still going with no plans to hit the hard roads for a while. Our van travelled well without any protection on the under belly, the only thing is we should have however put the table down when travelling. Are you guys travelling at the moment? Do you have a Jayco?

Hey Emma, if you have a full van like this it is simple. Our cats are inside cats so they are happy chilling inside the van and love looking outside. One is totally cruisey and the other does want to go outside. We have tried harness’s on them but going to try that again. Kitty litter goes in the shower and we leave the tops vents open. 1 travels well in the car the other wants to walk around so lately we have left them to sleep in the van when moving. They snuggle up on the top bunk no problems

Very much the van I’d like. In fact walk through a brand new one looked pretty much identical to your layout. Am wondering about the tow vehicle good to know that you started with the d max and moved to the 200, so pricey getting into that size 4wd 😬 you can get a brand new dmax / ranger for the price of a 200 series with 100,000kms on it, but ultimately want traveling to be safe
@Donna.Buckingham
2 жыл бұрын
Yes that’s what we thought. The cruiser just does the job better with the weight and makes us feel a lot safer and smoother ride. With the DMax we could feel the pull and bounce
