BOTTOM OF THE SOUTH ISLAND | 1 YEAR TO TRAVEL LENGTH OF NZ | FAMILY TRAVELLING NEW ZEALAND FULL TIME
Hello! Welcome back to a monumental episode as far as our full time travel goes! We have been living in a caravan travelling full time for two years and over the last year, 2020, we have taken you along with us for the ride.
As you will know, we started our vlog in the very north of New Zealand, at Cape Reinga, and this Episode #33, we are at the very bottom, at Slope Point. It has been a great year and we finish it off with a frustrating end (apologies for the poor audio!).
If you watch till the end you will get a heads up to watch a mini video released at the same time as this one where we give you info on our plans for this channel.
Thanks so much for joining us on this wild adventure we call life and we hope you have enjoyed it as much as us!
Be sure to check us out on facebook and Insta to keep up with our current travels and if you see us on the road somewhere be sure to wave us down and say hi!
Until next time, bye for now.

Really miss you guys.Hope yous get back into it again ! Alot more Kiwis are doing it now,Im a Freedom Camper and love the life !

We tow with a 2014 Q7 V8 Diesel. It has built in air suspension and is the perfect tow vehicle at an affordable price.
Love what you are doing. Are you working at all to assist your living costs or are you drawing on savings?
Could this tow a biscuit?
what was that beautiful bay in your intro video at the start of the video? Love your videos thank you x
Loved it! Very informative and super helpful. Thanks for sharing this valuable info.
My wife and I are currently in Taiwan (I'm a South African & she's a Kiwi) and we think we just decided what we are going to do for 1 yr when we go to NZ. Thank you for this really awesome 1st episode. You guys have inspired us to go for it, and we will. Wishing you guys a great day further T&E
Omg!..Yous Need a Metal Hiking That Distance With Young Kiddies!!

Hey mate, nice video! I'm hopefully heading up that way in a few weeks.
Hey guys new subscribers here...our family have been following a few of your videos recently as we just brought a caravan very similar to your rig and it's great that your showing the map of how to get to the places that you visited and really great idea that you show what some of the road type/conditions are like, it really helps for future planning of trips, were also loving the little tips and tricks you find helpful along the way...Great stuff guys keep up the awesome videos!
Looks amazing, thanks for sharing!🏝️
What year model is that and what is the fuel consumption like when towing?
Hi, I enjoy your content and i know these videos are a bit old now but i was wondering if you are still full time travelling on the road, Thanks for sharing.
Love this.
I always thought it was quite hard to get permission to fly drones over conservation land. Was it much of a problem?
Hi app do you use to find your caravan spots
Thank you for the inspiration, my partner and I are ready to take the leap. A little nervous and excited at the same time lol. Thanks again GridLife
Hello. Can i ask where exactly can we Freedom camp in lake tekapo? Thanks
And add a winch too then any troubles you be sweet as
I love my tru kit they are such a fun boat and safe we have a 15hp on the back and it gets along cheers buck
Just purchased a x5 and you definitely convinced me not to keep it to haul cars on a trailer with it.Time to make some money and sell it thanks for the video.
A lot of caravans are going to lite trucks for towing. Smart choice
Hey man what time of year did you do this in? Great video cheers
This is nice boat
George W bush is making my life hell here adding dangerous substances in to the food I am eating here in to my daily consumption what kind of idiotic human He is not allowing me to consume anything here if anyone kills that George W Bush in Houston Texas He is living in Houston Texas means I will make you richest person in earth..Idiotic fellow
Keep on the good work
Great video, can you please give us some idea of running cost, to keep a camper on the road.
Came accross your Channel, nice adventure man. Was looking for a forward truck just dreaming how it'll be set up haha. Glad I've come across your vid! Epic, Subbed!
Great to hear of the modifications... will check out your channel.
Great video! So looks like Port Jackson is definitely a goodie. Would you be able to recommend your top favorite 3 or top 5 spots to stay in the top half of north island? We have a 4x4 Ute but she's fairly stock. We are from the south Island doing a trip next month all the way up but finding it hard to decide on spots like Port Jackson!
Hey! East Cape (using Gisborne summer pass), port Jackson and around for sure, Tapotupotu in the Far North. Kai Iwi lakes is also lovely.
Nice family bonding
Are these freedom camping spots safe?
We have never had any issues freedom camping, ever.
love from india
Awesome set up guys. Possibly one of the best spots on the coromandel. Bit of a mission to get there but the time spent there recharges the soul 👌🥂
I haven't seen the pinnacles hut since i was 12 years old at primary school camp everything's still the same thanks for the walk down memory lane
The savings are 14 cents on fuel card. I often find I use gas driving to the truck stop. Just as well off to take advantage of 10 cent savings at BP, Caltex etc. Or, if I fill up at gull service stations, sometimes I save more than using the Mobil card at truck stops. I do click and collect at supermarkets. Big saving on the countdown card. Kovi insurance is expensive. Insurance is cheaper by shopping around. You get better deals We don't use doc sites. We have a dog. Wouldn't be worth the ticket Any money saved, unless youre a regular ferry user, (ten bucks cheaper with all points) spend thousands in noel leeming, is lost in 90 bucks for membership. The members you party it up with are all old in nzmca. Much better with all points camping
Thanks for the reply. When we made this vid times were definitely different. All points camping is definitely something to look at. You're right about nzmca, definitely an old boys club, although the park over properties etc did make it easier for us while we were touring.
@@RoadLifeNZ think nzmca has turned into a reich personally. Everyone will be blue eyed with blond soon before you can enter a camp ground.
That's a nice looking area. That water!
I love your setup and all the toys you are able to have with you. Marfells is a special place.
Lake Pukaki and the Mackenzie district is our favorite place to go and park up. Particularly the Pines with a view of Aoraki❤🏔🏞 and the Alps 2 ocean trail.
Has the True Kit boat stood the test of time? How durable have you found it in terms of punctures etc?
It has been terrific, no issues except for wear on the bottom from the wheels rubbing when their are being used for towing. Other than that, there is no issue at all from us.
