Hi there. Our motorhome only requires a normal license as its GVM does not exceed more than 4.5 tonnes. When we had the car engineered to tow, part of that included the engineer's certificate which ensures the total GVM is still within the requirement for a normal driver's license. Brian has a HR license anyway from previous work. Good luck with your decision, it will be worth it whichever way you decide to go.

Hi, thanks for the message. We had our towbar fitted as a factory extra. We did remember hearing that to have it fitted after purchase might be tricky so we opted to have it as an extra when we ordered the MH. 😊

Hi, thanks for the lovely message, we are glad you are enjoying our videos. We love the MS24-4 and with you good luck with your choice. We use a queen fitted sheet for both the beds, gives plenty of sheet to tuck under the mattress. We are also loving the pub camping and will mix and match for our next trip. regards Kerry and Brian

Loved watching it back. Thanks mum. xx

I like it a lot.

We are so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you. 😊

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 thank you. Happy Time. happy moments come with a happy heart

We appreciate you following along on our adventures! 😊

@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 Thank You. Happy Family. happy moments come with a happy heart

Thanks so much Ann-Marie, we are still having fun and really looking forward to seeing where 2025 takes us. Hope you guys are well. ❤️

Thanks so much Darrel, it was fun looking back at all the wonderful places we visited in 2024. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country. There is so much more to see. Best wishes to you as well for 2025. 😊

Hi, we find the drop-down bed pretty good. Its not long enough to sleep north south, Brian is 6.1 Feet tall and fits in well sleeping east-west. If you both need a toilet visit in the middle of the night you would be climbing over your partner. Lucky for us, we don't both need to do this. We sleep pretty well in the motorhome. Good luck with your choice.

Thank you, we would love to go there and will add it to our list. 😊

Thank you. We look forward to being able to show everyone many more beautiful places.

Hi, we tend to unhook most places if we are staying more than one night. If we are just passing through we try and get a drive through site or camp somewhere that we can stay hooked up. It does not take very long to unhook, have it down to a fine art now. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.

Hi thanks for the comment, we are taking our MH for the first Merc service next week. Mercedes says 2 years but we definitely don't want to wait that long. Better to be safe. The fixed bed would be amazing. One day we might look at that, we looked at the 26.1 and really liked it.

Thanks Dennis. Yes the 20-5 could certainly do with more storage. Welcome home, you look like you have been having a great adventure 😊

@ Yes mate. Deb & I just completed an 800km hike across Spain over 1 month. Looking forward to some Motorhome trips now. Deb retiring in July 25 & I’ll start chewing up my long service before leaving too. Hoping to follow yours & Kerrys lead with the MH trips. See you out on the road one day 😃👍

Your trip sounds amazing. Walking that far is just outstanding. Enjoy the MH trips now.

@ Sure will. Were a bit worn out after that 800km hike across Spain. Heading up to the Sunshine Coast in the MH this January for a couple of weeks. Also just pencilled in a 3 month trip over to WA next year. Semi retirement starts shortly. Planning to use a lot of my LSL over the next 3 years then retiring permanently from the firies after that. Looking forward to living the life you two do. Dennis & Debbie. 😃👩

Thankyou Darrel, glad you liked the country pub camping. We had fun making it. There are so many great pubs out there to visit. 😊

Hi, yes we sure can. I do try and mention pet friendly when I remember. All the pubs were pet friendly, how amazing is that. 😊

Sorry we will miss you. How exciting that you are heading off. Where are you travelling to? Have a wonderful time.

We’re doing a quick to trip to see family in southern WA, then heading back for 3 months in Tassie. Perhaps we will catch up somewhere along the road.

Sounds amazing. Have fun​@@celiairving6673

You are right, it can be more expensive than a caravan park. We enjoyed not cooking for a few days.

Hi, no we didn't meet them. It was very quiet there when we were there.

Thank you, and thanks for your regular comments. We love that involvement from other travellers from our little UA-cam community.

Thanks for your comment. We don't have microphones at the moment so the sound is not great if we talk to the back of the camera. Good news, we have ordered some microphones for future use.

We loved the food as well, absolutely sensational.

Thank you so much 😊

Hi, we finally had the lippert screen fixed back at Jayco Service Centre. It needed a 1.1.3 upgrade. We also needed someone that knew what they were doing as the service center had completed the same upgrade a few months ago but had not done it correctly. Its working fine now. Good luck with yours.

Hi, that's interesting that you say the model is no longer on the production line, its still advertised on the Jayco website as an option. Ours is the 2023 model with the new 2 ltr turbo diesel motor. Our understanding with the V6 engine is that Merc were not making these from 2023 onwards. Google the V6 Mercedes Sprinter information and it says they stopped making them and were not available in the 2023 models. Maybe that motorhome has a 2022 chassis. Not sure if we would buy one that's been sitting for that long, probably not anything wrong with that but would want to know more about the age of the chassis. Good luck with your choice.

@ Watsons Coffs didn’t recommend it. They confirmed today definitely no longer being made. New model aug 25. Pushing the fiat’s.

Hi, the Queenscliff Hotel was lovely. No we did not get to Swan Island.

Hi, we love the Merc, we are away at the moment (not towing the car) and we have been doing some windy, hilly roads and the Merc performs very well. No problem overtaking. When we tow the car its a bit different obviously but still no problem with power.

Hi, the bed does not like having anything too think left on it, such as a blanket or doona. The sensor will not reach all the way to the top when the bed goes up if you have thick blankets on it and then it gets stuck, we blew two fuses trying to work out if we could put a mattress topper on the bed. We just leave the sheets on to be safe.

Thanks for the reply. We’re in early days narrowing down what we want and need in a motorhome so Thankyou. Thinking with my 6ft2” hubby he’ll be too tall for the lounge area with the bed up and it might be a pain to get in and out of the bed during the night so thinking we will look more at an island bed. We’re overseas travelling for 3 years and looking to buy a motorhome on our return to travel around Australia. Thank goodness for you tube and blogs, very helpful indeed. Happy travels guys. We’ve subscribed as enjoy your videos 😊

Thanks for the comment, i think we will go with the Bluetti, it sounds like it will suit our needs.

😊

Great place to visit and also to live I imagine.

The Farm is a great spot for a picnic, we loved it too!

We agree! It's one of our favorite spots.

Hi thanks for the info. We do have two lithium batteries and two solar panels. We can be off grid for a few days if not longer in sunny weather, not sure if was overcast the whole time though as we have not had that scenario yet. We really want to be able to have power for the laptop, starlink, coffee machine etc so might look into the power banks.

We had a great feed there and an awesome margarita. 😊

Hi, i purchased my hat from the local supermarket in Scotts Head. I have looked it up online for a few other subscribers who have asked. The brand is Kooringal and you can buy them online. I have seen a few of their hats at surf shops etc but not the same yellow one which is called a women's floppy - bay.

One of our new favorite places, right on the water there in the non-powered section. We plan to go back as often as we can. 😊

Gorgeous place isn't it, good that you can also take your dogs. I didn't see any which was unusual, although i thought i heard one. We usually see lots of dogs when the park is dog friendly. Must have not been too many people with pets at the time, it was school holidays.

Hi, great information, thank you we will look at the I Tech. I realised after that Darlington is dog friendly and meant to put up a title in the video. Thanks for letting other know, it's such a beautiful place.

Hi, thanks for the info. We will definitely start investigating what type of power bank we need. It would be nice to run the coffee machine, lol much needed coffee in the mornings. We have loved the free camps we have found so far and intend to do a lot more. Often when we are paying for a powered site i think what are paying for this for. Lots to consider, thank you.

Hi, how exciting for you, we hope you love the MS24-4 as much as we do. It really is such a great way to be out there exploring. Thanks for the comment and we are glad we have been of assistance.

Hi, thanks for the message, that is fantastic, hope you have so much fun out there in the motorhome you have selected. Safe travels.

thanks for the info, will take that onboard when Brian makes the videos.

HI, yes Heatherbrae is where we purchased our MH.
