Well, it looks like you found my spot. It looks like somebody had scored all that firewood. I'm glad you enjoyed it. At least it didn't rain when you were there. Nothing beats free camping. Thanks, Paul and Wenda, and thanks for the mention. See you soon.

Good video really enjoyed it. We camp along that stretch occasionally. Small tip, ditch the cassette toilet and install an Ogo composting toilet, it is a game changer, we did it two years ago after 15 years of cassettes. Brilliant !

Just buy any schnitzel (we like the herb and garlic), a jar of salsa (we use medium heat), some bacon and shredded cheese. Cook the schnitty and while its cooking fry up a bit of diced bacon.....then when cooked top schnitty with salsa, diced bacon and shredded cheese. grill until cheese is brown

Loved your video. Police Paddocks was a nice place and we parked up in the exact same spot as you guys. The semi- permanents were there a few weeks back too. As for the loo, we highly recommend the SOG. No smell when using the toilet and chemicals are not necessary. I give it a spray with Thetford Aqua Rinse Spray occasionally for a nice scent. The SOG is the best thing we’ve installed. RACV resort was amazing. We made use of very warm pool and hot spa. Discount applies as a member of RACV. Love free camping but that was a bargain too hard to resist during the off season.

Thanks for your informative video’s. Have you ever had any issues leaving your van unattended at free campsites while you go do your day trips?

@beyondthegreyoz

G'day Wayne so far it has not been an issue at all in fact we have witnessed more issues inside caravan parks. However it is something we are mindful of every time we leave the van and try to assess each site for our perceived level of risk. But we also don't want to be paralysed by fear. We figure we have insurance, we have the alarm and wheel locking system so we try to balance our concerns with our precautions. Hopefully that is helpful Cheers Paul & Wenda

We are doing a shake-down of our new off-grid van. We found our 250L water tanks are lasting about five days not being too careful nor too frugal - does that compare with your experience? We also found that the laptop appears to soak up a lot of power and cloudy days are making it hard to catch back up.

We probably go through our 220lt in three day and could easily make it last four days if needed. We find some days we’ll use more battery than others depending on what we are doing. But think the right solar setup is key Cheers
