Insure, insure and insure, we did a motor in NSW, 3 months tug of the road. Including hire car ,tows and new motor @ $22k our out of pocket was less than $400. The Australian Automobile Association is fantastic ie, NRMA, RAC, RACQ, RAA etc. and they cared.
Wow! Thatbis a massive amount of $$$ thanknheavens you were insured. Yeah I couldn't travel without it. You don't need it until you do! Glad to jear it was a good outcome for tou and didn't cost you too much. Must have been a challenge to sort it all-out!
Great van session. Deryck you will wear out the table rubbing it 😂. Do you two ever fight
Ahahaha yes he does rub it alot! Oh yeah we niggle often...married life! We had one big one after an 8 hour travel day in the car. Problem was we had nowhere to go so I had to turn my back to him and look out the window 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks guys! It's amazing when you look back but the good far outweighs the bad!
Always good to learn some tips from experience, thanks for sharing.
Hey Grant, great to hear from you! Appreciate the feedback 👍
I would add the bogging at Blackiron Hipcamp in Queensland 😂 I don’t think the RACQ could’ve or would’ve helped there (I think some only recover you from gazetted roads). You guys managed that and the other challenges with grace. Great episode! Cheers.
Thanks Warren, really appreciate the message and support! Aaahbyes, that boggingnhas given me PTSD! Anytime I see sand I get the shivers! Def wouldn't have been recovered from that by RACQ!
Hey guy's great vid,very interesting and informative.Those first 3yrs you learnt a lot,the next 3will
be a breeze.Thanks team.👌🏾👍🏾
Hey Doug! Great to hear from you! Yes it amazing what we have experienced in 3 years! Sure the next 3 years will be great! We feel so lucky to be able to travel I don't think anything can pull us down! Hope you have a great weekend Doug and thank you for always supporting us.
You looked so happy in the video Derek about bob 😂
Thanks so much, he is very happy with Bob! It's all about the boys in this van!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys, we are on the road full time from oct 2020. Done 2 half laps of Australia. Towing with a 27 year old Landcruiser, couple of miner issues but keep the maintenance up is the key.
Hey great to hear from you! 27 years old, that is awesome and yes it's all about maintenance with the car and van especially doing the distances we do. Are you on Insta?
@@suelandolt6840 no inst just FB. We started travel in Oct 2020 after first lockdown in Melbourne. 6 month work and 6 month travel a year has worked out great so far.

Hi Deryck and Sue, we are about to take off in our van for about 15 months after selling our home and unfortunately the building of our new home is now not getting started until 2024. What else is there to do but see this beautiful country of ours you have both given us a lot of help with your tips and I am definitely following your travels now. Stay safe and travel well guys❤️
That is super exciting news Elaine! 🙌 absolutely, what else would you do!!!??? Why not take a trip and enjoy some amazing locations and make some epic memories! Sobhappy we could help you prepare. Best of luck with you travels! Hope to see you on the road somewhere!
Great to hear you hitting the road to see this beautiful country. Safe travels and enjoy 🙌🏻
Great Advice Elaine. Likewise but I'm the Builder. LOL between rain Council and architect it's taken 7 months to process. In the meantime I just bought a second new caravan and I am not waiting for anyone. See you on the road. LOL
🇭🇲😀👍🍻🍻
Lovely Ep and cracking stories with great advise guys,
Thanksnso much Craig, appreciate the feedback and great to know you are enjoying the episodes! Have abgreay week!
Thank you so much 😁
Great vid guys..Don't but in whilst Sue is talking though ol mate.Very rude!
Thanks Kevin, ahaha we constantly niggle over who is talking. We are both big talkers!
Guys, great vids you provide us. Just thought I’d give you a heads up on a great misting fan for relief in the heat. Ryobi manufacture a fan that works either from a bucket or hose & tap. $159 quite reasonable given what it provides in the heat. Check it out & if your a/c ever fails again, you have a fall back option. Cheers.
Thanks Rob that sounds amazing. Will def have a look at it as heading west!
Awesome tips, thank you 🙏
Thanks Karen, really appreciate the feedback 👍
So enjoying the mid weeks eps, keep em coming. You forgot to mention your caravan door mishap and on that, how did you go with repairs etc with it?
Thanks so much, appreciate the feedback! Aaaah the door! Yeah still dented and haven't decided on a fix yet! 🙃
So helpful again Guys, thanks so much for sharing yet again. Luv life
Thanks Mick! 👍 an absolute pleasure and love the feedback! Have a great week!
Thank you 🤙🏻
Nice video guys as usual. Always look forward to your content :)
Thanks so much Asean, really appreciate the feedback and support! Glad you are enjoying the content. Have a great week!
Thank you 😁
All the old sayings come to mind, roll with the punches, adapt and overcome, just to name a few . I bet I’ll be checking out or road side coverage ASAP. Hoping your travels start to smooth out a bit (lot) and praying that ours is smoother, we start our adventures in late March early April 🤞👁👁😄😄🐕🦺👍👍🍺❤️🇦🇺
That’s it. It’s not always blue ski and sunshine but it definitely outweighs the normal life 😁
All the best with your adventures 🙌🏻
Thanks Graham, yes indeed those are all appropriate 😀 always good to check the roadside assist! Very excited for you to git the road and start your travels! All in all the positive gar outweigh any challenges!
You’ve definitely had some challenges that’s for sure!
Ahaha yes but it has been 3 years and many many many kilometres! And the good far outweighs the bad for sure. What an adventure! 🤣
Great episode guys
Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed and enjoy the rest of your week
Thanks Rhonda, hope you are having a great week!
Wow ! You two did good ! Carry on carrying on 😀x
Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much! Have a great week 😀
Great episode Guys 🍺🍺🍺 I think if your a regular on the road, things are bound to happen 🤔🤔🤔
We were heading home after a camp stay and found ourselves sitting on the side of the highway in busy wheat harvesting time , not in the best location either as we were near a bend in the road, trucks every few mins passing us cos the Ford went into limp mode with a water / fuel issue that I couldn't clear the codes with my scan tool 😞😞😞We had 1 bar services on the fone and had to make a few calls to the RAC, we have full roadside assist ( WA ) cos of service drop outs 😢, waited 3 hours for a tow truck to take us and the van to the next serviceable town, you just don't forget those moments 😳😳😳
Cheers for sharing 👍👍👍
Andy 🍺🍺🍺
Thanksnfornsharing your experience ! Agree if you are on the road you eventually experience this kind of situation. Must have been terrifying being stuck in a bend with wheat trucks! Happy you got out safely and hopefully it was both your and our only experience of being stuck waiting for road side assist in a bad location!
Liking these videos
Thanksbso much Jeff, glad you are enjoying them! Have a great week!
Thank you 🙏
You have certainly had a interesting 3years on the road. Hopefully you have still enjoyed your travels
We have abut we are loving this life 🙌🏻
ThanksbLesley, we have loved our travels, stressful at times but lige throws you curve balls whether you are on the road or at home. All in all far more positives and we love the lifestyle! Hope you have a great week 😀
Thanks for the vid! What size inverter do you use when off grid for the star link?
Thanks Ashley! Appreciate the feedback. We have a 3000 but you don't need one that big if you are only using I for Starlink.
Love your videos guys, your husband needs to harden up 😊😊😊😊
Awesome vid guys !! We are also full time travellers. What was the mechanical issue with the 79? I don’t think you guys mentioned it. Cheers
Hi Chris, that's awesome! There was no issue with the cruiser, we had a gearbox issue sith the Ford. The crusier has been great! Hope your travels are going well!
@@suelandolt6840 ahh thanks Sue
Hey guys, another great episode. We've been with racq for nearly 30 years but have been told they won't cover us as ftt unless we have an address to return to every year. Did they know you were ftt when you signed up?
Yeah they did but we return to Qld once or twice a year so haven't had any issues.
Awesome legends 👏 💜
In life nothing goes to plan and while traveling its good to be spontaneous ✨️
In south africa there's an afrikaans saying , ( kyk noord fok voord ) 😅
Greetings and cheers 🍻 from south africa 🇿🇦 👍
Hey Yusuf, 🤣🤣🤣 I haven't heard that saying in about 10 years! Hopenyou are well in South Africa!
Hi Guys Thanks Heaps for your videos.We have followed you from start Just would like to know what you use to edit your footage as we have purchased a DJI mini3 pro ?
Thanks Bruce, wow can't believe you have followed from the start! Thanks so much for your support, we really do appreciate it. Congrats on the new drone. Same on we just bought to replace the one stile at the Cape. Deryck uses Premier Pro to edit. Hope you capture many memories!
Hey mate not to sure about no drinking on school days I went to night school 🤣
😂😂😂😂
@@justvanningit we will catch up with you one day 🍺 keep up with the great video's
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This pandemic has been the biggest Swindle of a general Australian public in the history of Australian federation. And no one has been arrested or sent to jail yet. When will all these traitors be held to account.
Had a little chuckle about your awning because the exact same thing happened to us, ended up getting a new and different style awning. After that my wife nagged me every time I put the awning out, is it tied down properly 😅
💯 we barely use ours now 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we all learn our travel lessons on the road and we all nod in commiseration when we hear of it happening to others! I am exactly the same with Deryck, and probably ask more than once 🤣
I have a telstra phone, and wifi calling and sms works perfectly via starlink, no extra apps required
That's great to know Andrew! 😊 we haven't had to try it yet luckily but it's great to kniw we have it if we need it. Thanksnfor the feedback!
That’s just why we got it
🤗🤗❤️❤️
I am sick of CZcamsrs only showing blue skys and no wind. We have been on the road for 1.5 years, follow optimal seasons and weather is not always great. Wind is surprisingly annoying and common in SA,WA,TAS. Then heaps of rain in the other states.
100% agree. You can't escape weather even when you try to follow the seasons. We are currently being hammered by wind in SA! Our first 2 years were spent freezing in the south and have nearly melted in the NT and Nth Qld but it is still worth the experience!
What was actually wrong with the ranger, I have a ranger myself, get a heads up on what to expect
Husbands a Ford Mechanic he’s says do your maintenance and you will be fine , he has a Ranger also 205,000 klms and never had a problem, he also said tow in sports mode
@@leannestengert4829 i am towing 3.5 tons off-road van a few people keep saying upgrade intercooler and get larger transmission coolers, I though may be the issue was in this area, I am still investigating whether to do that?? Especially with heavy van and hot weather
My husband wants to know what happened to the Ford Ranger?
We cooked the gear box! Then decided to get the cruiser as it more of tractor 🤣 easier and cheaper to fix!
Husband is semi retired Ford mechanic we have a Ranger has over 205,000 klms we haven’t had any problems he loves his Ranger. ( I find it uncomfortable) lucky he’s not reading this😂we love your videos
The gearbox over heated
Don't know what happen but I am unable to view your last video from a few days ago.
Just checked and it’s definitely there 🙌🏻
Yeah I know its there it's just not letting me play it
Any way loving the uploads keep them coming.
@@Mathew-Costa I’ve just had a look and it plays on my side and is still getting views. Let me know if it still doesn’t play in a few minutes
Just tried it again and it's working now 👍. Been trying since you posted it.
Must of been something on my end just wanted to let you know just incase it wasn't.
