Thoroughly enjoyed your Q&A,. The genuine honest information you provide made this quite helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to do this it does answer a lot

You guys look so relaxed and well deserved too. Thanks heaps for all travel tips guys and make sure you have a think about that tag along, you can put us down straight away. Well done, looking forward to the next instalment.

Great video. Lots of great thoughts and ideas. It was so good I passed it onto friends. Can't wait for your videos.

Awesome Q & A, absolutely love your honesty and look forward to my feed back on your whole setup,, safe travels to you all, Cheers 😊👌

Great Q&A nice having Tif and you opening up really enjoyed finding out more about everything ..safe travels guys

Nice one very informative. When we upgraded our 15ft van to a 20ft van we also had to upgrade or towing vehicle too. We love our 20ft ‘semi offroad’ van, queen bed, shower, washing machine, grill & oven.....etc. 👍

Thank you You 2 are so good to watch every week keep up the good work

Great honest Q&A from two very down to earth, genuine people. Keep up the vlogs!

This was fab! Thank you. Look forward to hearing how the poptop is going.

Another great video guys, thank you for all your information and honesty looking forward to the next video take care and travel safe.

Well done guys, the channel is great. The content and commentary on stuff is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Great informative video. The encouragement angle was exceptionally helpful to those who perhaps may be daunted about getting out and about. Safe travels.

Excellent Q and A video. As so many others have already said, very honest, genuine and without an undercurrent of sales. (Great questions put forth by fellow watchers! ) You both look so relaxed in front of the camera, and just being yourselves and talking frankly about your journey, what has worked, what hasn't and what you would do differently. The WA border closure was a bit of a downer, but as you have said you now have 6 months of exploring your WA backyard...and its a big one! Keep having an amazing time, I know I am enjoying the trip from afar.

Well done and thank you for sharing 🙏

Love this guys!so informative....we are tripping around WA on and off since October and have got more trips on the road booked next year too-thank you for your tips😊

Sensational guys !!!!! Been watching from day dot and can’t get enough 👌

I really enjoy your easy going and honest style - the videos are always entertaining and flow well - and your holiday vibe is infectious - I so want to get out there in a motorhome that is just being built. - the way you solve the issues - getting unbogged, to fixing things - not always obvious for armchair travellers such as i. You seem to be really well organised - have a plan - and carry the required gear, so that all just works and things generally go well. Looking at what you do driving wise - i will defo do a 4X4 course because the vehicle is so much more capable than i imagined. Anyway thanks for taking the time and effort to put together such a professional vlog. Much apreciated.

Great advice guys. Certainly a lot to consider when doing the big lap. I'd love a caravan. Just sold my Cub camper trailer and gonna swag it for a while. Got the ARB Skydome Touring swag. Absolutely love it. In a couple of years i'll probably lash out and buy a small van. Days like that windy day you had would be magic in a van. No dramas. Thanks for sharing your advice and experiences with us guys, much appreciated. And keep up the great videos!

Awesome Q&A Team!!! Spewing we couldn't see you guys come though the Gold Coast. Next Year I hope we can swop sides. Safe Travels. 🤘🤘🤘

Great video guys.. Hey Cam, that split in the canopy, quick fix that will keep it together, next time you're near an autoshop, grab a couple of body washer / mudguard washer, whatever they are called.. I'd recommend 8mm. grab a short bolt and a locknut, (go a grade 8, one of those black ones) drill through the middle of the split and clamp it with the bolt and washers. It'll hold it together a bit longer.

Good video guys been waiting for a bit of a q&a. Keep up the good work

Hi Guys. Thanks for the excellent Q&A video. We have had a Tvan since 2012 and have found it excellent. However, we are now in the process of upgrading to a Bushtracker. I noted you mentioned the alignment issue with the caravan. Take care with this as we had a similar problem which became very noticeable on the black top. The result was that a bearing failed at Python Pool and then again just outside Norseman. Definitely worth keeping a close eye on the situation. As you mentioned everything is a compromise and it is something you have to accept. We really appreciate your wonderful parenting of Chloe. She is a real star! Cam’s cooking is also quite an event. Overall we have really enjoyed your very well produced videos of your adventures. Regards, R and J

Thank you for the information to life on the road and the honest truth that why I love watching P.s Cam with tag along tour you would be amazing 🍻🍻

I tried hitting the thumbs up icon twice to give this upload a double thumbs up but you can guess how that went. You lost me real early on when you mentioned wraps and flat packs on the same day. My neck muscles contorted, my eyes rolled into the back of my head and my fingers and toes began twitching uncontrollably. The thought of needing IKEA-like instructions just to provide myself with half-day sustenance overworked my underpowered grey matter beyond human endurance. Worst 1.5 seconds of my entire existence right up until you corrected yourself that wraps pack flat. Not gonna lie it was touch and go there. Great information, any idea who the 5 thumbs down (up to now) haters are?

As it is now, around 150kgs. But if we end up towing a bigger van I'll have to cull even more than that.. I reckon we will end up with a van that has a ATM around 3t. Which means my car would have to be under 3t. Which means cutting around 600kgs to be able to tow the van and take a tinnie/motor.... We'll see how we go 😂

Hi Tiff and Cam (and Chloe!) I love your videos. We are in the process of acquiring a Ford Ranger with a Trayon slide-on camper, which we think will fit our requirements for short trips and next year a longer across-Australia trip. Just interested in your comments about upgrades to the vehicle. What are your thoughts on underbody protection and diff breathers? Do you have these on your DMax? Keep up the great work, cheers!

@WildTouring

We have underbody protection (from radiator all the way past the transmission) and extended breathers (diffs, trans and tcase) . Recommend both if you're doing some rock climbing and water crossings. I'm sure you're already all over it, but good tyres, suspension, frontal protection, snorkel, LR tank, UHF, secondary fuel filter with water trap, oil catch can, EGR block (if possible on your motor), lockers and a winch are all good to have for a capable tourer. But seriously consider the weight vs the value for every accessory!

thankyou extremely interesting. re your next van why not design your own and look at full offroad vans at Elross in Beckenham WA. We designed ours because of hubbys height and very happy . Loving the vids thanks and safe journeys

Ideally we'd love to have both internal and external. We would still use external most of the time, but like you said - when the flies are crawling under you eyelids OR the weather is poor it would be great to have an internal kitchen.

Is there a lot of places for a tinny? We're in the final stages before leaving and are absolutely TORN about the boat. It's too long for the car, so we'll need to get a rack fabricated .

@WildTouring

3 жыл бұрын

Definitely! It's one of my biggest regrets not taking one. I understand your hesitation though - I didn't have the payload and would also need to build a rack, it was just too much work this time.

Here’s a couple of questions for another time, perhaps: What’s the maximum length hybrid you would be happy to take if it afforded an extra bunk, internal kitchen, and a seperate toilet/shower? What’s the heaviest you would consider for a van (ATM) going where you have gone and plan to go? Hypothetically say, is something I don’t know, say overall length 7150mm, body length 4850mm, width 2200mm, ATM 2800kg, Tare 2400kg Ball 250kg (theoretical) too long/wide/heavy for your personal liking? (We think the layout would be good for us - would work neatly regulation-wise with a 6000kg GCM and 3200kg GVM Ranger - with good suspension of course) Thoughts?

@WildTouring

Those dimensions/weights wouldn't concern me at all. What are you looking at? I hope to find an off-road van in our budget that's 16-18ft, probably single axle, under 3t ATM with a generous payload, seperate toilet /shower, double bunk opposite end from our bed with internal kitchen and external BBQ.

Looks like a good unit! Not something that would suit us though for layout purposes. Has less internal space than our 13ft (when our back section extends, it's a foot longer than the 15ft). Also not to keen on bunks above dinnetes, or beds that have to be made from the dinettes. Not an issue on the odd weekender or the annual trip etc..

HF radio, Sat Phone, Cel-Fi Go, PLB and EPIRB are different things. They have different uses and different outcomes. HF radio doesn't bring immediate assistance - it's good for coordinating a recovery. Buying HF spectrum is prohibitive and renting is similarly expensive. A Sat Phone is good for phoning home or for ongoing recovery or mechanical assistance; the unit also has an "I'm OK" button. A Cel-Fi Go will get you one bar, on up to 35 connected devices, when it wouldn't otherwise exist - it is not analogue, so it's either working or not. Telstra does NOT sell this device. A registered PLB would save someone in an emergency - it will recover the registered owner or a nominated person, your vehicle will be left behind An EPIRB is a, similarly, a PLB for watercraft Just sayin'

@@WildTouring Yes, of course it doesn't boost a signal, if there's none detected by the unit. I said that you can get one bar with the unit when otherwise you can't get a signal without the unit. Here's the test: be remote, with two Telstra phones - walk one away and if the signal is lost, then the the Cell-Fi GO works. (it can connect up to 35 devices.) The added problems are 'small 4G networks' - you'll be notified by SMS if you fall into one. Currently, 4G is data and 3G is voice. 5G will become data and voice will be 4G - hence VoLTE - Voice over Long Term Evolution. Another problem is that remote, regional areas provide only 3G for data and HPSA (High Speed Packet Access) for voice and data, as a fallback, depending on the signal received. Since Dec 2016, I've roamed 79,000 Km over Australia. My UHF, VHF and Cell-Fi Go antennas are on my Rhino Platform. My HF is mounted at the rear bumper, because it's large unit with a long whip, depending on the spectrum available, and used, at a point in time.
