Hi there, thanks for the tip, we love the Armidale area so will definitely travel back to that area and look at staying in Uralla. It will be good to go back with the tow car as we had the little motorhome when we stayed at Armidale and tried to drive out to a waterfall. We had to turn back due to 18ks of dirt road, lol.

Hi, thanks for the comment, we would love to do an episode on pub camps and are already talking about it, thanks for the suggestion. We have actually stayed at Brooms Head holiday park in our first little motorhome. Its in one of our early videos, we loved it. Will definitely go back there. Cheers.

The tyre extensions are great, we did have one that was leaking a bit, our tyre place put it back on a different angle and seems to be ok now. Fingers crossed. The peppermint spray seems to work well.

Hope we have lots more adventures together on the road, it was lovely meeting up with you.

Thanks for such a lovely message, its nice to get that feedback and we are so glad to be able to assist.

You are so welcome.

Glad we can be of assistance; I would really have liked to watch a video that showed me how to use everything we needed. We just didn't know what we needed until we started using the motorhome and thought there would be people out there like us, who would like a bit of a hand with what you might need if your new to motor homing.

Thanks, we will definitely keep travelling, just a bit of time at home and a bit of work, then a few small trips here and there, until we cross the Nullarbor.

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 that will be a good one! When do you expect to do the Nullabor?

Probably not until next yr sometime ​@@ladysusanjane2682

Your welcome.

Hi there, thanks for the message. Sorry we did not get to meet, next time we do a big trip i am going to set up a travel Facebook page so it's more in real time and we can send and receive messages from people who may like to tag along and meet. We will head back that way to go to Parkes, i wanted to go to the dish.

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 you’ll love the dish, if you’re into Elvis at all try to plan your next trip around the dates of Elvis festival in Parkes, you will not be disappointed!Elvis festival is usually the first week in January and there’s plenty of parking for the rv but you will need to book way in advance through Ray white real estate, just food for thought for you both 😊 We also have the Abba festival in Trundle which is near by.

Hi there, the van side of flat towing, just requires a tow bar which we ordered with the motorhome. The price in the video is for everything, A frame, engineering of the car and the drop hitch which slides straight into the tow bar. We love being able to tow the car now.

It was great to catch up with some new friends while on the road.

Thanks for coming along with us, we have had the best time. We will let you know the mileage and fuel consumption for sure. Just looking up Rollingstone now, it looks fabulous. Thangs for the tip.

Back to real life for a bit. Time to catch up on appointments and work and plan the next big trip which will be to cross the Nullarbor.

Thanks Ann-Marie, glad you're still watching us. Hope all is well with you.

We have been looking into it, maybe for the next big trip. Thanks for the tip.

So glad you're enjoying Broome. We will get up that way one day, maybe next year. I bet its busy up there. Enjoy.

Hi, thanks for watching the videos of our trip. We really did have a great time. The motorhome is great, we are very happy with it, just love driving the Merc, its very comfortable and tows the car very well.

Good idea, thank you. It gets annoying with how much road grime it picks up.

Thanks so much.

Hi, we just bought a block out curtain from Bunnings, it is attached with two stick on hooks and clothesline type material. The curtain is mainly for the air conditioning when driving so it does not have to try and cool the whole motorhome. It also gives some extra privacy when parked up.

Great place to visit isn't it.

Hi again, no we did not get the optimum version. We did upgrade to leather lounge area and lithium batteries and extra solar panel. We did not feel the need for a diesel heater but have now been to some places where it would have come in handy.

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 great thank you.

Hi Cameron, we do love the 24-4. I find there is plenty of room in the shower and bathroom as a whole. Brian fits in the shower but finds he does not have much elbow room. We were discussing that we were not expecting the leather type material on the driver and passenger seats, we expected cloth seats. Bonus. Drinking water tank is 125L, grey water is 100 L, we do not have an inverter but upgraded to two lithium batteries and two solar panels. Hope that helps you.

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 thank you

Hi the name of the parks was Kui Parks, they are around Australia and all privately owned, generally cheaper than the big ones and we loved it at that one.

Awesome! Thank you!

We were in Tasmania in February/March. We left on the Spirit on 7th Feb last year from memory, back on 7 March. The weather was great, really good time to go. It was cold at night in some parts but quite warm in the day in other parts.

Your welcome.

Glad your enjoying them. Love it when someone finds our channel and binge watches.

Hi, thanks for the message. We have had to use the pin trick in the first motorhome, so far with this one we reset the seatbelt if we have a problem and that has worked so far. Fingers crossed. We would definitely consider the after market switch, we have seen some people in our Jayco FB group who have swapped it out for that.

Hi there, we took the Stuart highway which is the main highway from the bottom of Australia (South Australia) up to the top (Darwin) there are loads of offshoots such as the Oodnadatta track which you would have probably seen on other CZcams vids, very popular if you have a 4WD, not for us with the motorhome. We try to avoid the mud bogs 😊

🤣😊Thanks Keith, no we don't really need to get home. We just wanted to find somewhere to relax for a while and we definitely found that with Renmark.

Are you guys planning the next lap yet? You’re probably way down the road now but there is a great sheep shearing museum in Hay and Broken Hill/Silverton are within your driving range. Keep up the great work and get the coin back out!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Excellent, thank you for watching and subscribing. Cheers.

Hi thanks for watching the video. You will love Narooma, its such a beautiful place. Depending on the size of your motorhome you can probably park in lots of the car parks along the main road, right near the park and the break water where you can see the seals.

Hi, thanks for letting us know, hopefully we won't ever make that mistake again, but good to know. 😊

So true, Australia is such a huge country.

I think what most people underestimate is the added stress of driving long distance in a large van or truck, as your attention level must be much higher and the ride is not as smooth. I can go 1,000 miles in a car with only usual stops every 3-4 hrs and it's not too bad. 500 in my semi, or large pickup with a travel trailer, I'm wiped out. Even worse if you aren't normally driving great distances.

Hi, thanks for the message, great suggestion with reducing the tyre pressure. Luckily, no damage to the motorhome and we will be extra careful from now on. Don't think we will ever drive that far again in one day, we don't usually do that many ks, but coming back down the same way, we had seen all the desert on the way up. 😊

Hi, we will definitely make you a coffee if you ever see us parked up and you need one. It is handy being able to pull over and make lunch, we do that regularly on our days of driving. Its handy having your kitchen in your vehicle.

There's a cafe opposite the hardware in Burra and their coffes are great. I was there recently working on heratage listed houses near the big church

We stopped for lunch at the St John Cafe in Burra on our way to Peterborough. Great food and ambience. New subscribers to your channel.

I think you would love the Big4 in Renmark it was very peaceful.

Great little place, will be back.

Glad you found our channel. 😊

It can easilly be done overnight from Adelaide. I've done it in a semi.

Hi Wayne and Carmel, we were in Uluru a few weeks ago. I think May/June/July is a great time to be there. We are going to put out a video on everything you need to know about getting to Uluru, as it's such a bucket list destination. It depends on where you are starting your trip from. We came from NSW, headed down to South Australia, Flinders Rangers and then headed up the Stuart Highway to Uluru. We stayed at roadhouses along the Stuart Hwy, Spuds Roadhouse, Marla is a good one, there are quite a few to choose from. Great trip to do.

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 Thanks guys, we are starting from Sydney as well, Wayne

So true.

Hi, no issues mechanically with the motorhome at all. Touch wood, we really love it, and it drives very well.

Lol, it was a funny/not so funny moment. We had to unhook the car, no choice. Brian was almost at the roof and i jumped out, realised we were not going to make it under there. After we unhooked the car, we were able to reverse the motorhome back out and drive away.

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 that would have been great on film..lol 😂

Glad to be of assistance, good luck with your choice.

Hi, no not if it's really cold. We travel with a little column heater and the marine carpet has made a huge difference; the floor gets really cold.
