This Channel is about our Adventures Traveling and exploring our beautiful country and finding those little hide away spots that you just dont know about. Come along the ride with us in our BT50 and Silvervally Caravan.
JUST GO WITH THE FLOW.
A bad day camping is better than a good day at work. Off Grid camping comes to an end but this is only the begining. Each day gets better and the weather turns it on.

Nice trip guys
You’ll make the Olympic rowing team at that speed 😂
@@Dexy69 yep sure will
Great weather buddy and some beautiful spots down there
Nice one Oaksy enjoy see you around
Great videos mate we really enjoy watching them 🤙🍷👍🍺
@@stephendimech2802 thanks regards Greg
Does anyones leak ?
I have had no issue so far with leakage.
@@OakesyAdventures I seasoned with a hose and left it out over night and about half a litre was in there the next afternoon once it fully dried
Rub candle wax into the stiching first before wetting it down most to all leaks are from the stiching that's the area to weather
Great Video mate ,thank you, brilliant fix
You are welcome
Hiya whereabouts in Nannup is this campsite please? ☺️
It's the Town caravan park
Are you still happy with the 30 second? Also, do you find that Muller vent on the roof of the canopy keeps it cooler/vented?
Well yes still happy with the 30sec awning it's performing well as to the vent only raise it during wet weather
@@OakesyAdventures thks missed your reply somehow. With the vent I meant the one on the roof of your Hidrive canopy, they're called Muller vents. Do you find it keeps the canopy cooler? And, any problems with water or dust ever getting through it? Thks.
@@markh6676 no don't have any issues so far and still performing well.
@@OakesyAdventures thks, do you notice when you open the canopy on a hot day the vent is helping prevent it becoming an oven inside.
@@markh6676 I feel it does help keep it cool
100k in, just stumbled on this, popped outside and mines worn through slightly!! Thanks very much for the heads up!
You are welcome
Onya mate, should never have to pick up after others..
To true but I just can't walk away from it.
@OakesyAdventures onya mate, definitely needs to be more education on cleaning up after yourself or bigger fines, cos you're right all these places will be shut down
The drone footage of the Bite is breathtaking.
We had a lot of trouble with the GoPro batteries also, they either don’t like it too hot or too cold! To help solve the problem we purchased the Volta handle that has the larger capacity battery in it. Have found less troubles now (but still not entirely disappeared)!
Thanks guys
Cheers
I have a 2019 BT50 I also tow a caravan around Australia we had the problem of a radiator that has a problem with top plate coming of and covering the main hole causing the motor to overheat while towing , this a problem they know about in a memo that I was told by service centre at Mazda .
If your serious about towing you need a V8
Hey mate. Glad you got it all sorted. Just curious tho. Is there a run in period for a brand new motor ? Or is it it fine to just start towing straight away. Cheers 👍
They didn't say but I did 1000ks with a few long runs as I want to tow soon. I did the same when I first got the BT 6 years ago.
Mmmmm, 100k on a diesel motor?…. Wow… Tough luck
only a good car for people who havent driven a ranger wake up.
My BT50 is having its second rebuild. It seems that the tyres last longer than the engine. Putting in a second high quality water separator and fuel filter this time along with new injectors, injector pump. Plus flushing the tank.
Feel for you.
Do a EGR cooler delete too, it will fail some time.
Glad for you good result but i remember when diesels were reliable and the only reason they stopped was when the fuel pump did not work i can say that i would not buy any brand diesel now as they are not reliable anymore.🔥💲🔥💲🔥
Miss the good old motors.
Great to see these videos getting plenty of reviews! Glad you can get back out there with the new motor (and injectors)
Thanks Rob
Mazda overpricing , compared to Ford
Seems like you got lucky on the repair thanks to Mazda . My 2013 BT50 did well over 300,000 k and was still running fine when I traded it in. On a Hi-Lux. Im not a isuzu fan so passed on the changed new model.
Glad you got a fantastic result. Our kids are about to order a Mazda CX5 Akera at about $60k and if Mazda had thrown you under the bus I would’ve recommended they go with their second choice from Toyota. Mazda, if you’re reading this, you just got another customer. Cheers.
They looked after me well
Its a common problem with the the BT 50 have a few mates that had them but now passed them on.
What are you paying labour for?
To find out the fault remember the ute is out of warranty.
@@OakesyAdventures bit rich considering it was replaced under warranty. Some would say small input large reward. It’s the outcome that matter , inconvenience but a outcome
sell the damn thing, towing with 4cyl is for the desperate
4cylinder? No it's not
Its got 5 not 4.
Good to see the truck back on the road. I have a 2016 model where a similar thing happened while towing a caravan. i paid for a second hand one personally and I still have faith in its capabilities. All motors have their quirks and weaknesses. Just some are more costly than others and service from the dealers can be a deal breaker. All the best.
That’s a good result with the motor . May I ask what model is the Bt ?
2018 with the Ford 3.2 motor think its a UR model
Nah. Im not buying it! Mazda Mandurah were lovely changing the motor for you but charging you FULL price for labour for a job they were already doing. Nah! And charge you for one engine mount...wth Nah. Im still not buying it. They have slugged you full price for their warranty work. Nah! They are obligated under the fair wear and tear laws to fix it. Maybe ford could help out. Nah! Sell sell sell....
Good news mate👏🏾
I put a second hand motor in one cost me about $6.5k for the motor $1500 for odds & ends. That one just rubbed through a hose and the driver just kept driving it.
Glad you got it all sorted, always a tough decision, we live on the road full-time and tow 22ft van 95 percent of the time with a 2014 triton with 203000 on clock, as yet no major problems 🤞
just wait a little bit longer
Tritons are bulletproof
Great result 👍🏾
Good they came to the party, not good it broke down after only 100 000 kms
Good to see a short vid from you Oakesy!
Great News Greg
Include Ford too! Don't keep it too long,let the next poor sod pick up the costs.😂
Good call!
I think it's simply what we should expect and demand as consumers. Might be worthwhile also to reflect on this : www.accc.gov.au/media-release/mazda-to-pay-115m-for-misleading-consumers-about-consumer-guarantee-rights-for-serious-vehicle-faults-0 Australian Consumer Law (ACL) provides excellent protection for Australian consumers in theory, but the problem is getting it enforced in practice.... We should all be demanding better compliance by small and large businesses.
Great news Oaksey,see you back on the road!
I would shell out for four new injectors to replace the existing ones.
Done thanks for the feed back 🙏
Friends came to visit towing their 20 ft Opalite van with their BT50 . 1st time they visited the turbo pipe broke leaving them stranded in Tenterfeild NSW for 4 days waiting for parts , 2nd time the engine blew and they can't afford to fix it being pensioners .. These BT50s are not real good . My made in Japan Nissan Navara ( Not the Spanish made crap ) is 31 years old and still going strong and our 3 liter Patrol is 20 years old and regularly tows our 20 ft van no worries . They sure don't make cars to last anymore..
Sell it mate before it does it again, they are shitboxes... Props to the dealer though.
Might be worth your while to renew all injectors
Was this under warranty? Looks like an older model. Either way hats off to Mazda
Thanks for the update /…so glad things went so well. Mazda….you are exceptional.
kia or hyundai would fight you all the way to court
