Really nice video guys. Both of you are great on camera! My wife and I are looking to upgrade from a tent to a van this year so we’ve subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Hey guys, we have put in an order for a hybrid 13 through Broadwater campers on the Goldie. Just asking who you went through for insurance? Loving the videos, we watched all the tips and tricks for the hybrid and can’t wait to get delivery in August. Heading to cape York in September for a few week’s. Thanks CJ and Megan
We have been camping and camper trailing for 45 years and they are some of th3 best hacks we have seen. A lot we have seen or adopted already but most were new one. Thank you very much. Just one I have used which is great are the ground dog awning pegs and tie downs. Again from Qld and available at shows and online. The pegs hold in sand really well and also in SA hard dirt/rock.
After the success of Fusion Locs in our camper, we have started to use them in our home bathrooms. Been bomber. Also now considering the Zoleo. Great hack vid.
Thanks for the great tips guys. We are eagerly awaiting on our 15' Hybrid in a month or so and will taking all your tips on board. Thanks again. Much appreciated.
Loved the tips and hacks. Hoping you may be able to tell me where you got your rainbow wall hanger from and slightly off topic where did you get your beautiful white top and shorts. You look absolutely beautiful. Really enjoyed your video. ❤
@@peneloperobertson2803 Thank you! I can’t recall where I got the cute rainbow hanging from sorry but my shorts are from Ghanda and the shirt is an old one (I’m actually looking for another one) from a boho shop in Byron. Thanks for watching 🤗
A fabulous video guys, thank you very much for sharing, I have my first van on order and these tips a priceless help, really appreciate your videos, have fun, stay safe
Came from Bunnings mate. 40mm to 20mm. The metal thread on the drain does eat the plastic over time, so will probably be looking for a better quality system when we get home from the lap, but still works well for us
Hi Guys, Good video of your setup most of which i had already done but a few other things and tips to think about. My wife wants to know where she can get her hands on those amazing hat hangers?
Great video, my wife and I are hoped to buy a van something like yours next year and do some travelling around. Just something for you to think about, don’t keep your keys, especially your car keys somewhere easy for other people to access. Why I say this, there was couple staying a park here in Cooktown and while they were away from the van someone got hold of they car keys and stole their tow vehicle. I never found out if they got it back.
Hi Guys, its good to see you again! Thanks for the amazing hacks, I cant wait to use them when We gonna have our new caravan which I hope comes end of this year😉 Pls keep doing your videos!!!! You are amazing couple!!!
Hi guys. The Kickass shower tent was installed on our van from factory. I have since installed one on the car for trips without the van. All you need is a bracket that suits the application. For the Jawa, it was a length of lipped steel that was screwed to the van and awning mounted to that
Hi mate. The setup took about an hour or 2 beers… the app works well. Most of the time was taken sending family and close friends a message about the new number and what to expect when we’re off grid
We have the croc version 2 bin as well and love it. I had my hubby paint it black because I am anal. 😂😂😂 We also replaced our awning with a Bushwakka Meg awning. Love it, so much more shade and living area.
Would a Ziggy grill fit a 20.25CM covered Dutch oven inside? If so, I could totally use one of these to bake my sourdough bread while out camping in our caravan! Let me know!! 👍🏼
@@empty_nestadventures Hmm. That’s true. I’ll have to see if I can find a dealer here in the US where I could test this. We’re fixin to upgrade from our teardrop camper to an MDC hybrid! (MDC are finally available here in the US!) LOVE ME SOME AUSSIE QUALITY BUILDS! (We have a lot of ARB items!!) 🥰
Hi Isaac. We’ve been on the road for 20 weeks now and been lucky enough to have had only about 4 days of rain! But we do have a butane burner if we need to cook and the awning does a good job with the shady gear and light sunbuster sides. Doesn’t keep every drop out, but all good. We just listen to music and talk
Hey guys some great tips, have already purchased the Croc Bin and we are in the market for new camp chairs so will check out those ARB ones. Can I ask what video editing software you are using and is it easy to use?
We just use iMovie for final production. A lot of our footage comes from GoPro, DJI drone and also a Nikon dslr, so use their various apps in pre-production as well. Music we use ArtList and thumbnails etc, we use Canva
Hi mate, we recently put up a vid on our thoughts on awnings. I’d prefer to stick with the standard, and then spend the money on a good 270 for the car- like a bushwakka. Tested the Supapeg, Bushwakka and Howling Moon awnings, all are good
@@empty_nestadventures thanks for that, yes we recently seen the 270 awning on the infinity 15 and we don’t mind it but it had all the poles for each corner and support poles for the centre. I already have the bush company XT Max on the BT50 do you don’t recommend the Jawa 270 awning?
@@_suppsventures1149 nothing wrong with it mate, just not for us as we don’t do any long stops very often. It gives amazing coverage, but does take some time to setup/packdown until you get used to it
Really nice video guys. Both of you are great on camera! My wife and I are looking to upgrade from a tent to a van this year so we’ve subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks guys! Really easy to watch & informative .
such a terrific list, im implementing most of these
Ohh you guys are so cute! Love the interior hacks Dee, and love the tour of the van inside and out. We’ve subscribed!
Legends!
Thinking of trading our Jayco dove we’ve had for fifteen years, and think you have convinced us!
Great video, cheers guys good luck

Fabric softner in the plastic that you can get at the supermarket are great smelly's as well, I keep 2 under car seats and they last months.
Great hacks!! Thanks for sharing. 💕

We love all thsoe tips. Made a list. We take delivery of our Hybrid Octocer 20 and cant wait to get out there after we set her up
How exciting! Where’s the first stopover with the new van?
you will get greater mileage out of the thermacell back packer and save on gas cylinders of the the other model. And you can get pad's cheap on Ebay.
Hi mate I also use the mocha pot , but I froth my milk with a $15 usb rechargeable whisk ,I find it perfect and no inverter fequired .
My wife and I are looking at travelling around Australia.
Love all your great ideas.
Keep them coming.
After the success of Fusion Locs in our camper, we have started to use them in our home bathrooms. Been bomber.

Hi guys great videos just wondering if you can please give me more info on the cam lock size you use under the sink thanks keep up the good work

Excellent video, thank you!
We are patiently waiting for our Solera 12🤞
Mate great channel you always give good information and Tips very very good
We are in the process of ordering a van in the next week or two and will need to include a lot of your hacks so thankyou very much.
Awesome. We’re posting a new vid tomorrow about van upgrades and modifications, so check it out as well

Yeah, when we were at Mt Isa a few cars were stolen from the caravan park. We always put our keys under our pillow whilst sleeping
Thanks very helpful.
Thanks for these videos . We have a Hinchinbrook DB 15 and some great tips here .
Great video. We are waiting for our 13ft Hybrid Iridium and all these hacks are great. Will implement most on our van when we get it in August.
Thanks for this, didn’t know about the reverse filter hack, have to try that on mine. #gamechanger😂 sarge needs a smelly pack !
Yeah, you see the muck that comes out of it sometimes
I meant the muck out the filter…. Not Sarge!
@@empty_nestadventures 😂😂
Great job guys. picked up a few things from you there..
Hi Guys, its good to see you again! Thanks for the amazing hacks, I cant wait to use them when We gonna have our new caravan which I hope comes end of this year😉
Pls keep doing your videos!!!!
You are amazing couple!!!
Good hacks there guys. Thank you!! Can you tell me about the Kickass awning I saw on the side of your van? What is it and how did you mount it?
Hi guys. The Kickass shower tent was installed on our van from factory. I have since installed one on the car for trips without the van. All you need is a bracket that suits the application. For the Jawa, it was a length of lipped steel that was screwed to the van and awning mounted to that
Great video. Thanks for the Zoleo highlight, I've been looking for something like this as I generally camp alone. Is it easy to set up and use?
Hi mate. The setup took about an hour or 2 beers… the app works well. Most of the time was taken sending family and close friends a message about the new number and what to expect when we’re off grid
@@empty_nestadventures thanks guys.
hopefully in 2 years i could afford life like this with my wife
If you save hard, I think there will heaps of secondhand vans at bargain prices in the next couple of years
Fusion loc rules.
We have the croc version 2 bin as well and love it. I had my hubby paint it black because I am anal. 😂😂😂 We also replaced our awning with a Bushwakka Meg awning. Love it, so much more shade and living area.
Great video, can you post up a link to the the quick release fitting you used on the external sink? I haven't been able to catch the name...
It’s just a camlock kit from Bunnings. It was about $25 from memory
Would a Ziggy grill fit a 20.25CM covered Dutch oven inside?
If so, I could totally use one of these to bake my sourdough bread while out camping in our caravan!
Let me know!! 👍🏼
Hi! The diameter will fit, but not very confident about the taper on the lid. The Ziggy is quite rounded, so this would be probably be more the issue
@@empty_nestadventures Hmm. That’s true. I’ll have to see if I can find a dealer here in the US where I could test this.
We’re fixin to upgrade from our teardrop camper to an MDC hybrid! (MDC are finally available here in the US!) LOVE ME SOME AUSSIE QUALITY BUILDS! (We have a lot of ARB items!!) 🥰
Great tips and video. How do you find the hybrid when the weather turns wet, windy or cold?
Hi Isaac. We’ve been on the road for 20 weeks now and been lucky enough to have had only about 4 days of rain!

Hey guys. Love your vids. Fun to watch. What is the height of you van when it's packed away?
Hi Ray, glad you like them. It’s 2680 to the top of the AC with 60psi in the tyres
@@empty_nestadventures Thank you so much. keep up the great work and take me to places I'll probably never get to.
Hey guys what awning do you recommend? Change too? Do you rate the 270 degree awnings on hybrid caravans?
Hi mate, we recently put up a vid on our thoughts on awnings. I’d prefer to stick with the standard, and then spend the money on a good 270 for the car- like a bushwakka. Tested the Supapeg, Bushwakka and Howling Moon awnings, all are good

Go the whistle kettle 👍. Don't get involved in MLM pyramid scams.
Were you given or subsidised to have your Jawa in any way ?
We paid full price for this van
If you don’t mind me asking what work did you do
Hi Gary. Dee Is workplace safety and RTW guru and I did 18 years at Telstra across many roles, but ended up in HR heading learning and training
Does the thermacell work for midgies as well.
We’ve found they do!
@@empty_nestadventures thanks getting ready for our trip to the cape and need something to keep them away from my wife.
