Glad everything has worked out for you. These keyboard trolls need to be called out so good on you.
Loved the closing comments about the Trolls great work lol

My heart went out for you.

Only been subscribed since seeing the accident incident, all food for thought on the content covered since, enjoy your travels and life, as to the negative trolls, way to many sad people out there, I enjoy your videos each week. Gary and Sue
you are both so genuine and down to earth people, true blue Aussies, it's shameful that some morons leave negative comments. I'm happy that things are working out for you both after the trauma you've had to endure. Love your videos, well done â€
Love your transparency. What a journey you guys have endured. So glad youâre doing ok. đ
So very sorry you've been through what you have, and to then have trolls making negative comments is disgraceful. Good on you for calling them out. All upwards from here đ
Glad to see you guys are doing ok. Keep doing what you are doing. I can't wait to see you guys in the next episode. It's one of the things that I look forward to every week â€
Another really good video, plenty of good advice as well as an insight into the day to day of that lifestyle of travelling. I don't understand you receiving negative comments etc, the main thing that Donna and I enjoy about watching your videos is the realness of how you both are on camera. Ignore the negativeness and please just keep being yourselves.
So pleased it all worked out for you guys â€
Really appreciate the openness about insurance etc xx
You summed up everything so well. I am a Gold RACQ member and have taken advantage Untracare in the past breaking down in Bourke. I am now living full time in a van appreciate the life and love it. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks for you kindness and we will continue, we wish you also safe travels.
Guys your videos are inspirational what you have been through is gut wrenching. As for the narcissistic trolls it doesnât take much to spot them does it, donât even read their crap. Keep going strong onward & upward & back to doing what you enjoy,canât wait for your next video love you guysâ€
We love you guys †you are so down to earth and we are so happy for you that it has all worked out well for you - good things come to good people and Amanda you are an emotional love, just like me â€I felt it every timeđ Dave you are a sweetheart, we look forward to more đ stay safe Lyn and Bob

I also like seeing Mr B being a chatterbox which he has been in this vlog because I think he was very quiet in your trip to Uluri and Yulara đź
Thanks for watching MrB is usually very quiet and Im the load one makes a good balance, however MrB speaks about things when needed.....hope to see you next episode.
Thanks for a great follow up after the accident video. Wishing you safe travels
Your channel came up when you posted the accident video. Iâm not travelling yet, but Iâm planning on it in the further. Ignore the trolls. Just from watching a few videos of your, you are both so down to earth and share such useful information. There are so many videos showing the just the fun side of camping and travelling around Australia - which is great. But this side is so important too. Iâm sure through sharing about your incident, youâre helping so many people with thinking about putting plans in place if things go wrong. Thank goodness youâre ok. Iâm sure nobody needs to tell you, it could have ended so much worse.
Take care. Looking forward to following along with your next adventures.
I truly appreciate your thoughtful message. It's viewers like you that make sharing my experiences so rewarding.
I totally agree with you Mr B, trolls don't need to be out to try put people down. They are so annoying and terrible people and so dislike them and there comments. Never forget the time where "Just Vanning It" had those trolls too where they made disrespectable comments about Sue and they thought of stopping videos but glad they didn't as we don't what those Trolls to ruin it for everyone else who love these videos that you all make. Looking forward to the start of your adventure in the new van again. Thankyou for your video's and being who you both are as great to see the fair dinkum Aussies in the real and not fakes
Thanks for your support and kindness!
Really enjoyed your positive outlook and realistic views...shit happens and you handled it with resilience and forward thinking..wouldn't want to have gone through your accident but appreciate you sharing your new knowledge !
Thank you for making this video on your experience, it's been very informative and shows the importance of having good insurance
Well done. You do a very good job of providing practical, well thought out detail. Thank you for the comment on how reassuing it was to have the dash cam footage, if you needed it. After 18 years of motorhoming, I finally purchased one.
Just want to say thankyou for all the info you have give everyone safe travels.
Thank you for your content and keeping it real. Be happy and safe always.
agree bugger those who questioned you. I'm glad you filmed it. Well done.
Glad to hear & see you have gotten a good outcome fromR.A.C.Q. We have been with them for over 60 years & will never change as their service is just terrific. Take care & be happy Elaine from Queensland.
I enjoy watching you guys and I'm glad things are going well. Keep doing what you are doing.
Filming straight after the accident is a good thing because it show how traumatic the event was to you and also documents a clear picture of the scene directly after the accident.
Totally agree! It's crazy how filming in the moment can capture the intensity of the situation. Thanks for watching
Keep up the good work team.
Glad that it was mostly sorted out.
Gun Plumber Out! đ
Glad you guys are good. Insurance is a mine field so glad itâs all good. Enjoy your new van.
Love your positivity and so glad everything has taken a positive turn since that terrible experience you endured both emotionally and financially, upwards and onwards Mr and Mrs B canât wait for the vids on the hilux build and van walkthrough and your future adventures đ
Thank you so much!! We will be sharing the build so and we look forward to see you next episode!
Glad you got it all sorted so quickly. Keep trucking.
Very sorry you received any negative comments This was your home glad you were both safe Have brought new van and will continue your travels Thanks for sharing
Love your videos and so good to see you both smiling after the trauma of the accident - looking forward to the new van tour and your future travels...stay safe x
Thank you so much it has been alot going on but feeling like we are ready with our new home on wheels.
Glad You R Both Ok -Your Honesty & Authencity Is Valued - Blessings & Best Wishes :)
Everything is working well. Onwards and upwards enjoy your new adventures
Nice to see you are both okay - rotten experience but onwards and upwards. Have just found your channel and looking forward to seeing more.
Relatively new to caravanning and your channel. Glad you are both ok. Thanks for sharing. Just shows how short life can be. Enjoy and keep doing what you are doing. Thank you
Thanks and welcome !
I have wonder about some of the questions. Good on you for answering all of them. Great detail about the 'incident'.
We are glad you are doing well, thanks for the really helpful information on insurance itâs something that is so hard to work out ⊠thank you â€
Im so clad your all ok even the other people in the car. We looked at RACQ ultra care and went throught all the cover they has as you know. We chose Club 4x4 becasue of the total recovery of both the car & caravan as a package IE towing the van/4x4 to a repairer, accomadation lenght period flights, trailer hire also was covered.. Club 4x4 were lowever cost and more cover after an crash or recovery, and we have looked into this exact situation you have been in and the cover we have as I said is more than RACQ Ultra care.(note we have been with RACQ Ultra care before)
Mr and Mrs B you guys are fantastic wishing you happy and safe travels in the future đŻđđ
Just watched this episode and it was very informative thank you.
All the best to you both
Good on you guys, up and onwards. We donât just understand if you are not interested in someoneâs life why criticise them, just change your channel. Well thatâs my rant. You both are just down to earth people telling your story. Hope to meet you on your travels. Dave n Jules.
Thanks for watching and backing us up ! just keeping it real and raw.
very well described &good luck for future !keep on trucking !!
Keep the videos coming guys, love ya work. I'm looking forward to having a look at the new van.
Looking forward to seeing a walk through of your new caravan and as Mr B said, please be courteous to other drivers đź Stay safe
Thank you for your for watchng yes walk thru coming soon!
Hello Mr and Mrs B.
Thank you for the update. So glad to see you both looking refreshed, and that everything is working out for you. Suz and I have watched all your Tassie videos which we absolutely loved. Looking forward to seeing more of you. Love you and your channel. Cheersâ€ïžđ

Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video, I will be definitely double checking our insurance information. Glad you are both ok.
Thank you for the breakdown of events and results. Thank god you walked away in one piece and so did the other driver. Very eye opening, we are potential travellers in the next 5 years; Iâm 100% with Mr B. Regimented; too the rules; insurances locked and loaded. Well done on your new van and thankfully itâs worked out better than I expected it would. Well done RACQ. Matt
THANK YOU for your Authenticity, plain talking information sharing, That said sorry you have had this experience and have had to work through this incident in so many ways. I am sure this will be very helpful for others journeying with Vans, RVâs đđ»đđ»ââïžđŠđș. Wishing you safe and wonderful journeys moving forward. Enjoy your new Van đđ»đđ»đđ»â„ïžand the Adventures ahead of you.

Your message put a big smile on my face! Sending good vibes your way!
Hi Mr and Mrs B
We are newbies organising our retirement to travel oz. Just new to CZcams I just watched your great and very sad videos on your very u fortunate but Luck to be here video's . I agree Mr B things do happen for a reason and we don't always understand why. There is a message there appreciate every day as if it is your last. You never know what is around the corner. The information I have gained by watching this video is priceless. I am so happy you are now moving forward on your journey with a whole new set-up and look on things. Maybe one day when we set off we may cross paths. Drive safe be kind to each other.đ
Thank you so much for watching and your kindness! It means a lot to us both and wede. hope to see you next episode.
Iâm glad you are both ok after the accident. I agree a Ute is a Falcon or Commy. The others are SUVs.
Thanx for another great clip and info đ
Thankyou for such an informative video. We are about to check all our insurance. Glad to see you looking healthy and positive.
Love your honesty and you keep it real ..as u say ..if u donât like us move on ..well said ..
Well said Mr. B
I wish u all the luck for what ever u chooses to do ahead. And safe travel going ahead.
Great to see you both back on the road. Mr B as an ex military veteran đŹđ§ I find my motorhome a good mental leveller, but keep pulling up those sand bags and get those brews on with Mrs B.. đđ and regarding a dashcam Iâve had them in my trucks for years and it surprising how folks change their tune when they are involved in any accidents etc with you đ
Thank you for your service and for sharing your experience with the dashcam. It's great to hear that your motorhome helps you mentally.
So glad that everything has gone through for you guys and that you are loving your new van, this was a great video, full of important information for other travellers, thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing your new setup in the next couple of weeks.â€ïž
Your support means the world to us! We appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Wow guys ⊠awsome honest ep.. so glad everything has worked out wellâŠ. Safe travels đ€đ»
Great informative episode guys.. we are so very grateful you are safe & have your beautiful van.. very proud of you both.. â€â€â€
Love the channel, I initially followed because I was interested to see how the shorty (2 door Jeep) would go on a tour. Now I just love your reviews of the places you visit. You are doing a great job in inspiring us to see our own country.đ
Who knew a shorty could make such a big impact! Thanks for sticking around for the journey.The jeeo went to a good home a jeeper with another 8 jeeps!
Lovely couple, Mr B & Mrs B â€
glad to see you guys are good keep up the great content cheers carl
Wow it's been a journey...awesome to see everything has worked out...can't wait to see your travels! đ
Yes we are excited too! Thank you for watching and hope to see you next episode!
Guys, I am glad your ok and you have your new van.i love your honesty and being transparent on what happened, my wife and I blow a tyre and that was scary enough.
Your support means the world to us, thank you for being a part of our journey!
we have only discovered your channel since you've had your accident. and we can 100% empathise with everything you've said in this video and the last few. We wrote our trailer off on the nulliabour. The shock at the time was increadible and in the days and months that came. We left the trailer in the hands of the tow truck after we got as much as possible out of it on the side of the road. and all we wanted to do was turn around and come home. I have so much i want to say about how we feel for you. I have no real words. videos like yours are invaluable for people to be aware of all the things that people should know incase the worst moments happen. best of luck in your future.
Thank you so much for your kindness and comments it means a lot to both of us, we are blessed with community support and hope to be heading off on adventures again soon, we hope to see you again next episode.
Hi guys, we came across you by accident. You had the accident, it came through our feed, we subscribed. Heads up though, itâs probably not a sustainable CZcams business model. Lol. Anyway, we are building our own 18â van so itâs interesting to here about the insurance. You cannot insure an unfinished van in Queensland, it must be registered and have an independent valuation on completion. Prior to this though we needed an engineer certificate because we have built everything from the chassis to the composite body. Like you we are risk averse and have insurance ON EVERYTHING so itâs unnerving to have $90k (+ labour) tied up in your driveway thatâs uninsured. Anyway, we love your videos and glad to see you are both well. Look forward to seeing how the new van goes for you. Thanks.
Love your content. I'm glad you're on the road again. That has been quite a journey you've been on over the past few weeks. I'm also pleased with your insurance and RACQ info. We wouldn't be without support from RACQ. I'm looking forward to the walk around of your new rig and mods on the ute. Stay safe and thanks for being there for us mere mortals and as you say, stay safe. Cheers.
Thanks for watching and you comments, we are staying with RACQ.
Thank you Mr & Mrs B that was very informative. It's such a shame you had to go through what you did to warrant a video on this content but the little sneak peek of your new van, it looks lovely. Hopefully you can put this all behind you and head off and enjoy your lovely new van making more adventures and happy memories this time. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Ignore the 'Negative Nancy's' they have nothing better to do. Sharon
I am so heartbroken you had to go through this. As caravaners we feel your pain. We are in WA and we are with RAC for our car and caravan and we also only travel at 90klms which is also good for economical fuel wise. I have prayed thanks that you are both well and uninjured. Driving tired and worse still uninsured is irresponsible but he now has to live with this. Hopefully a lesson has been learned by him. I wish you safe travels â€â€â€â€â€â€ we travelled for 6 months and we also called up trucks and slowed or pulled over so they could pass. We found them very considerate. As for the trolls not worth wasting time or energy on them.
Thanks watching and your kindess , also for sharing your experience safe travels!!
Well done on another great episode. Glad to see you both happy and positive. Love the look of the new caravan and hope to see you both out on the road soon.
Your support means the world to us! We can't wait to hit the road and share our adventures with you.
Thanks for the info on the Insurance issue guys.. Was surprised to hear that the Assessor didn't have the caravan weighed.
Good to see you are happy with your new rig. Safe travels in the future đ
Thanks for watching, we were under weight but agree totally that there are to many vans travelling over and are accidents waiting to happen.
Great discussion. You covered things well đ€đ€
Iâm so sorry that this has happened to you, RACQ are the worst, our house flooded, and RACQ were shocking
Great vid love you guys you are just so down to earth good on you mr &mrs B
Thanks for watching and your kindness!
Thank you Mr and Mrs B we have also checked our insurance. Look forward to many adventures
Donât worry about the trolls and so glad you videoed it must have been hard but I believe we have all learned so much.
It's great to hear that you checked your insurance and are excited for more adventures!
So glad to see your both doing well, I am a new owner of a Avan. sporty her name is Ruby .
Thank you for your service and thank you both for sharing your experiences to support and protect fellow travellers. The right insurance with the right value of cover...super important...and wow max 100kph in NSW towing a van is great to know. Glad you are both safe and still smiling. I am a brand new subscriber currently planning our retirement lap can't wait to hit the roadđ»
Your kind words mean a lot to us! We appreciate your support and look forward to sharing more experiences with you.
Thanks Mr B for what you said about âthink about others on the roadâ so many need to hear what you said! Also you two compliment each other, one fun, smile and exciting the other a real man a thinker, if you get a chance have a look at âLaugh your way to a better marriageâ so much like you two 3 parts on Tube.
Thanks for your work
Guy
Thank you for your kind words and for appreciating our content.
Glad to see the hair is back under control Mr B. đđ
Great comment regarding agreed value and making sure it is what you want. Plus adding the extras.
I have RACV fully comprehensive insurance and full top cover Road side assistance on my Motorhome
Glad to see you are both OK đ
Thank you, I'm about to go check our insurance now. Cheers
Glad to hear hope it worked out!!!!
I think it's good u filmed for all of us..
Looking forward to your new travel s. Thankyou for your information.
Glad you are over the worst. I know the trauma of the accident, having had a trailer blow a tyre whilst towing a Jaguar behind a Saab9000 twenty years ago. The trailer weight dropped onto the towbar, which lifted the car front wheels, travelling downhill. No control and rolled down the road, went through the Armco, and hit a bridge support. Everything written off, walked away from it. Not nice at all, the insurance pay out was two and a half times what I paid for the car, quite a surprise. The trailer manufacturer had built a number of faulty trailers resulting in multiple accidents for users of them. Hope you have a better future towing.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always good to hear stories from others who have been through similar situations. Safe travels to you.
So happy you guys are all good to go can't wait to follow your travels as my husband and myself are gearing up to go ,love your tips too .
Good luck for you upcoming adventures and we both glad to have helped!!
HEY GUYS, GREAT CONTENT, stop explaining yourselves, ignore the ignorant fools. Keep telling your story, stay safe
Thank you !
I suggest fitting an engine guard to your tow vehicle. Six years ago near Casino NSW, we had a fan belt break, which took out a radiator hose on the Prado and by the time I realised we had a problem the engine was cactus. NRMA platinum cover was brilliant, we were looked after like we were one of the family.
See you on the road somewhere.
Thank you so much for watching and your kindness! It means a lot to us both and we hope to see you next episode.
A great video guys. The reflections and outcomes of your accident was awesome. Your vlog on the side of the road ensured we looked at our set up and insurance.
Thankyou.
Thank you!
Just watched your latest episode, I have yet to comment on anyone or any channel but I felt the need to say something.
At last, a couple that I really enjoy listening to and genuinely like listening to what you have to say.
My first episode I watched was the one of your accident.
I am really glad everything has turned out well and you are both safe.
I also love that you said that the trolls out there should move on, totally agree.
Iâm not a traveller, just a few times a year, but I genuinely hope one day to bump into you guys and shout you a beer. You are my type of people â€ïž
Stay safe.
Well said Wilesy! â€
Thank you so much for watchng and also sharing your comments, It has been a rough few months but we will keep going and make the most of what we have the main thing each other. Enjoy your adventures and who knows our paths many very well cross.
We will be back next sunday with an episode.
Hi Guy's, thanks for this follow up video after the incident (glad everyone is OK). Very informative video and very interesting to hear your experiences with the police and Insurance. Good luck and I will be tuning in on all your adventures.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your support.
Thanks for sharing your experience, we are caravaners as well and enjoy watching you guys. I can not understand why people can be so nasty, not worth your time guys and we support you. All the best and looking forward to your van walk through cheers Rod and Lu đđ
Who knew the caravan world could be so wild? Thanks for sticking with us through the journey! see you next episode
Hi, First up thankyou Mr B for your service to our country. I dont tow a van but found your channel and loved what you both do and now subscribe to it. Glad you both came out of the accident unscathed, you cannot be replaced cars and vans can. This video has had some amazing information for people to ponder and access on the does and donts of towing and thankyou for that. I wish you both safe and happy travels for the future and will be following your adventures.
Your support means the world to us. We're grateful for viewers like you who appreciate the information we share.
Thank u for the insite .
Tks Guys. Wishing you all the very best.
Great video. Handled with class and decorum. Narcissist people can say what they like, but I know you guys, and you'll always feel the love from me.
Don't ever change, be yourselves, and enjoy the ride. You're still here because of God's grace, and nothing can outweigh that. Love you both and wouldn't have you any other way. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We really appreciate it.
