What is the ideal length for an RV in Australia?
When you decide you want to hit the road, you will quickly realise that the first thing you need to decide is what length vehicle you will purchase. There are several considerations that might assist you in making your decision that I touch on in this video. If you have an RV, what size do you have and why did you decide to purchase that particular size?

A working day (breakfast at dinner time) and an unexpected visitor

A little glimpse into what Paddy does for work (although he would say he's just playing) and stick around because this one is a little twisty at the end. P.s how is your eye for detail? See if you can spot the two continuity mistakes in this video and drop a comment below with your guesses.
Is it legal to sleep in your van in Sydney Australia?
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 5 lety
People are always asking me if it is legal to sleep in your van in Sydney Australia. With rent prices starting from around $300 per week for a room in a share house, surely it can't be legal too buy a van and sleep in it? If that were the case, wouldn't everyone be living in a van? I can't speak for others but when I am in Sydney, I love staying in my van and the good news is, provide you are l...

Stealth camping and how to sleep perfectly flat on an epic Hill
zhlédnutí 636Před 5 lety
PaddyMac reckons he can achieve a flat bed almost anywhere but will he be able to level his bed on this huge Hill? Internal bed leveling systems are not very common but they sure seem cool. Could you sleep on a big hill like this? How do you level your bed? Or does a sleepy sleeping position bother you not? Post a video reply of your own leveling system setup.

How Far Will My Focus BOLD² eBike Go On A Charge?

I love my RV toys. I initially borrowed this Focus Bold Squared to review and after 6 months and around 1000ks , I can honestly say this ebike has been a catalyst for fitness, friendship and fun. I love it so much, I brought it.

    What is the max size you can get into national parks and get to the best natural sites that aren't off road. We want to go to Australia and RV for three months. We are full time in a 37 ft 16 ton class a in the US. So far there have been only two parks we couldn't get into. Or creature comforts are over the top. Or dry camping capabilities are very good. What do we need to have to spend a week in a national park in Australia , doing that week after week.

    I would think if you park in a busy street, e.g. where there are lots of units, no one will notice you but if you park in a quiet suburban street, people who live there will generally know the local cars and you will be noticed.

    I looked at all the options and settled on a hi-roof six-speed Turbo charged Ford Transit van. Fully kitted out. I'm 180cm or 5'11"" and I can easily stand-up straight in the van. It fits a queen size bed. These two were non-negotiable. Showers are outside on the drivers side of the van and a porta Potti in a cupboard for night time only. We have a full blown kitchen at the back, another inside and a small one from the sliding side door. Solar hot water, solar panels, inverters, modern DC-DC chargers, grey water tanks and two 50lt camp fridges. Heavy duty insulation, roof fans, led external lighting and even a Rear electric bike rack. etc. I renewed all mechanicals including clutch, flywheel, injectors, turbo, fluids, filters, pumps etc so it's mechanically perfect. It was cheap to buy at auction and I've put the whole lot together for under $15k+$2k for rego. Including the original cost of the van!

    I hve a way fuck better way to Do tires & big tires w/ 11 wheels makes 1 tire not air based. If u make the mini wheel as cheap as poss u just hve to resurface the mini wheel once in a while full recycle deal & if a defect or damaged wheel just the mini wheel prt gets replaced/put back/fixed & u go down the road damn near any where u broke down easy as hell kick for God or saints.

    My planet roads will be raised like home construct up 4 or more ft & built in cushioning to help extend life of roads. If u need to repair u don't dig up the road u just lift up a 10ft section or two square a fix the piping underside or just drop in a new 10ft section.No flooding either also.

    remember on my world air powered cars & trucks or steam powered car & trucks means NO LEAD poisoned air/water or brain world ever comes about. Future cars might hve free magnetic trikle charge electric helper motors but not the main source of power on my Godly world. Hydrolics wii be used too for planes or heavy construction. Diesel in begining will hve its place but alternating each fire every other cylandier off so V16 is really only V8, burning just compressed air 1/2 the time. It is better to hve better cycle were u can isolate each bad cylandier as much as poss while keeping rest turning/running. Not a mechanic though. After 50yrs or so doing the figuring, nothing beats De-tuned limitless hydrogen except batteries if mostly just stopped sitting in traffic. As long as using a drill or bike batteries r just fine AS long AS not any heavy metals in them. Not near as good as free magnetic DC, or air or steam or hydrogen but batteries if totally completely green & safe to charge for long life cycle & end of life still green cycle NOT OUT YET then sure they r fine/ok.

    On my future earth We/I God will use these ideas plus I think at home every1 should use just DC power but going into house AC circuit better if 120 not dead if u touch that. Then if u need to jump up to 240 no problem. The lower we make the appliance draw the better/cheaper it will be to power. Plus everything is basically ready to go portable as well. HINT HINT there is a way to wire smaller stuff to not turn off once u plug them in & start the motors & then u just unplug them & they magnetically just keep running for free. Not satanic devil steam bankster demon world.

But interestingly I saw 3 BRilliant ideas on video today/afternoon. So cat/devil ie in story or play is mostly settled in just a wild barely pet outside food rat but ok. He also like Me is liking Me mixing his favorite Meow Mix soft dry food 2 ways so I will try him on 3 diff flavors no treats mixed in next(treats cost more & fating). Like Me like cat, I also said I need/like 3 flavors of food but yet to try any thing but 1 pussy still. Near death so not looking good.

The thing i remember was he was selling the van and going someplace like Thailand for a year etc. He had solar panels on the roof and it was all wired up for living in it ie batteries and 220 Volts etc. Im sorry i did not buy it. About 22K 5 years ago. I still think of it.

    I have this crazy idea of purchasing 14 footer diesel lorry from japan, maybe from mitsubishi, toyota or isuzu. Convert them into camperhome. But alot of consideration was given especially with the width, length and height. Driving these vehicle need extra precaution cos they could be a problem especially for tight spaces during turning and reversing. Plus not all places are height friendly. Keep my finger cross though. I hope my project will be smooth without any hiccups.
