Our Van Keeps Breaking (van life troubles)

- Head to www.squarespace.com/flyingthe... - Things just keep breaking in our van and it's giving us troubles as a pair of amateurs attempt their first repairs.
As we continue our van life trip around Australia we have bumped into a few issues as we have to do some repairs on our Sprinter Van. Our week started up in Darwin as we took some family time off alongside the waterfront, the night markets with plenty of beautiful sunsets and tasty food.
Our first stop on our big Northern Territory trip was heading into Kakadu National Park - there we went to the Spectacular Jumping Crocodile cruise.
After breaking our awning on day one of our van journey, we finally have gotten around to doing our repairs. We fixed our van awning before going on one of the most beautiful trips so far - the yellow water billabong cruise.
There we woke up for sunrise, saw crocodiles and native birds before ending our time in Kakadu watching the sunset at Nawurlandja Lookout.

Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a travelling van life family who self-converted their dream house on wheels - we now live full-time in our Sprinter van called Cooper as we do a full lap of our home Australia.
Okay help us win a debate - was it Stephen or Jess's fault that the awning broke? (Sound off in the comments so we can see)
Stephen, he should have given Jess better instructions.
Jess: Out?
Stephen: Yep
Jess: Here we go listening to your directions again 😂
Combined effort!
Sorry I’m team Stephen. Jess physically broke it.
Jess broke it but it was definitely Stephen’s fault haha
German Car qualtiy.
I cant believe how well behaved hunter is, if that was me with my nephew he'd be screaming and fidgeting and bouncing around constantly, hats off to you guys!
Hunter reacting to that food the exact same as Stephen with the drink was sooo cute! How cool capturing the same mannerisms from early on 💜 hope you guys have the best week. Only 10 minutes in more comments to come 😂
haha I wonder where she got it from!
It feels like watching a mini movie everytime I watched FTN!!! The editing skills and photographic scenes are superb!!!
Your videos are so well produced. I can't stop watching them. Outstanding!
The edit on this video is amazing! Loving watching the van life series. So good!
aww makes me so happy you enjoyed it! Was a fun one to edit!
My goodness Hunter singing “na na na na la” and wiggling made my heart melt. Too cute 🥺
Who cares who broke it. You did what we have seen you do all the time. You worked together as a team to fix it. Hunter walking well, next video is Jess & Steve chasing her all over the outback 🤣.
Well in the 80's we've had Crocodile Dundee. Now we're getting Crocodile Hunter 🤣
I am so enjoying following your Australian adventures. Every experience just gets better and better. The scenery is stunning and the sunsets are breathtaking. Hunter is more adorable every day.
Really love this comment thank you so much Cheryl!
Hunters little laughs are seriously the highlight of this video
Hunter is so smart for her age ….I loved how she pointed at the croc 🐊 in her baby book.
When hunter started dancing to jess making music honestly I just wanted to pass away it was so cuteeeeee 🦋✨
California Linda shares WOW Hunter is walking independently. What a milestone. Van troubles or not, just enjoy the moment with family time and develop those lifetime memories.
Almost there!! A few fall downs will be walking so soon!!
I promise this amazing couple will use my music on their videos one day❤️😇
I am a huge fan of your music!!!!
Oh def send us an email would love to check it out :)
Have you got CZcams channel? Instagram or Facebook to share?
@@flyingthenest thank you so much, I will send you today😇
There are few places that can offer skies of a true intense color that makes you experience unique and profound emotions: good!
Though we are slowly catching up to your episodes, we are totally enjoying your Aussie adventures. It is always trial and error with your daily setups, the awning accident was only a bit of bad luck, now you know how it is done guys so all good. Safe travels and God Bless you all 👍😇🙏🚐
The Australian Tourism Board should pay you guy's something! You make me want to come back down under for a visit, your landscape shots are breath taking and absolutely awesome. Another great vlog, thanks :-)
Wow thank you so so much
I can’t decide if Hunter is the star of these videos, or if it’s Australia. Thanks for sharing this trip. Really enjoyable to see everything that’s going on. From Hunter getting bigger to Australia’s beauty and scary wildlife. 👍
Haha two pretty cool things (Hunter and Australia!) so glad you are enjoying the videos it’s been fun to make them
I like to see your travel days. But most of all, seeing the cute Hunter makes me laugh.
Hunter is so very cute.
Jess's face when Hunter grabs the chocolate! I love it!
Great job with fixing the awning. Loved Hunter tasting everything specially the tools.🤣 Great place for hiking and the river tour with the sun rise was beautiful. Be safe guys!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
Seeing baby Hunter grow up is so amazing and special for me. I’ve just had a miscarriage and seeing your beautiful family gives me hope. Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️
Thank you. That means a lot. 😔
So sorry for the loss...be strong❤️
Really love your videos!! Even the ones from 5-6 years ago hehe thank you for making me smile every time
Aww so glad you enjoy the old ones too 🙂
OMG that sunset in Darwin. Absolutely stunning. Australia is so beautiful 😻
i love Hunter's little sandals, they're so cute!
Today was one of the most exhausting days for me and I just about to cry, but Hunter made me laugh. Thank God for giving you, because your videos are calming and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you guys 💕
Hahhahaha the sand castle building!! That is so relatable! We literally built a sacrificial sandcastle for our twins to smash so we could focus on building a cool one 😂😂😂
The first few baby steps are the best moments to catch 🤍
Hunter is a right little Water baby 🐬
It will be such a great discovery if Hunter gets de ja vue exploring back to these places in the future, knowing she grew up on the road!
Hunter clearing the cheese board was so cute ☺️
Hunter is so adorable and growing up fast. Thank you for the amazing videos of Australia. I have always wanted to go to Australia now I can see your amazing Country of Australia. Also to I was walking around our Walmart here in Winter Park Florida and we have Bundaberg beer here in our state of Florida. I am going to buy some and try it.
Your optimism is admiring. Enjoy whatever comes your way❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great vlog, as usual. We need a compilation of Hunter's reaction to foods, starting with the lemons from before.
Another incredible vlog guys. Thanks for sharing with us❤️
Your videos bring joy to my day, I just wanted to thank you for making me smile :)
Aww I hope that everything works out for you and your beautiful family with the van ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love watching your Australian adventure….. it’s very interesting …. I had my heart in my mouth when you were holding Hunter on the boat adventures!!!🐊 Hunter is adorable and I she has a cute smile xx take care!
Love Australias Night Markets. When I was there in 2016 I was lucky that it was market night on my day of arrival in pretty much every small town that I went to. And I went to a lot. Great place to have fun and meet people as a foreigner.
Wow its always great to see your videos. Amazing family
I think I am more Hunter obsessed.❤️ Such a sweet heart
Can´t get over how HAPPY Hunter is all the time 😍
Absolutely beautiful . the both of you.. Hunter is improving every episode

I have Ben binge watching your videos and my gosh it’s been a fun ride. LOVE LITTLE HUNTER 🥰

I love these videos! I do wish the titles reflected more of the travel you're doing and less about the van - I love Cooper, but I love where Cooper takes you way more!
What beautiful views x
Australia has some pretty cool spots 🙂

Impressive young couple and of course Hunter. Hopefully we will be allowed to get to Broome in October but as NSW is going, I don't like our chances. keep up the very entertaining videos
Hunter's walking and has found the chocolates. There's no stopping her now. You'll be able to sleep again in...never. All worth it! Thanks for sharing!

Loved the video. Crocodiles are so cute. (I'd not swim with one haha).
My husband is Australian, but we live in Europe, and I would LOVE to surprise him with that babybook Hunter is 'reading' with Aussie animals and plants! Could anyone help? My husband loves to read for our son, but we don't have any good Aussie books for babies.
Very Beautiful👍👍
Hope you guys aren’t affected by the lockdown in Darwin and Katherine. Stay safe and take care
