IS MILKING A GOAT EASY ? (Ep 5)
In this episode, we end up having to delay our trip to the goat farm, following worries of getting caught up in a bushfire.
So we stay a couple of nights in the beautiful town of Robe, then we eventually head over to Millicent where we stay at the Goat View Dairy and meet the owners Michael and Nicola who show us around their goat farm and even give us the opportunity to have a go at milking a goat.
We then finish off this episode with a little exploration of the town of Beachport and also Millicent itself.

    Be interested on your views on use of the hotplate vs cooking on gas, do you use hotplate when off-grid? Also what is your solar/battery setup, & what mics are playing up & what ones have you ordered? Peter @OutdoorsRoam

    • @Carlshandlebarsandholidays
      @Carlshandlebarsandholidays 22 години тому

      Hi Peter, thanks for watching & thanks for your questions. We tend to use the electric hotplate were we can when we’ve paid for an electric hookup, but that’s purely to save gas, we can’t use it off grid, unless we fire the geni up, (which we sometimes do). We have 400w of solar and a 240 amp battery. We’re currently using the DJI wireless mics, but as mentioned Angie’s is playing up. The ones we have ordered are the Hollyland Lark 2s which are much cheaper but get good reviews, so time will tell if they were a good move. 👍👍👍

    Your hot water does seem to be an issue. We have a 2017 25-1 and it has a Suburban storage tank that runs on gas or electricity. We have less than 5 secs for the water to come through hot and it stays hot in between turning on/off. Might be worth exploring if your tank is working properly. Thanks for your video.

    • @Carlshandlebarsandholidays
      @Carlshandlebarsandholidays Місяць тому

      Hi, firstly thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. Yes what you have is the older ‘storage tank’ system, which in my opinion is a much better idea. Now on the new vehicles they put the instantaneous systems in, but as you’ve seen not exactly instantaneous are they LOL Another case of not everything improving with time unfortunately! I don’t actually think there’s anything “wrong” with ours, it seems to be just the way they are. I’m still gonna look into it though 👍👍👍

  • @markjohns4826

    With our 25-1 I’ve clocked the tap on till flame fire up time and it seems too long. We had instantaneous gas hot water on our boat which would ignite the instant the tap was on! I did wonder whether there were some adjustment that could be made, but haven’t been able to find any. Some owners have installed the temper valve to divert the cooler water back to the tank!

      @@markjohns4826 ye I’m not aware of any adjustment either and yes I know about the valve but I don’t think that’s without it’s frustrations too, mainly because it STOPS the flow till the hot comes through, which wouldn’t be that nice in the shower either. Thanks for watching 👍

      Hi guys, yes Mandurah is lovely for sure. Before we moved house we had a pool and we did consider getting him a floaty vest, but as he’s such an over-confident dog we decided it could be a bit dangerous, as if he was to get into the pool area without it on, he’d likely jump right in. As it is, he ‘knows’ to avoid going out of his depth, so probably best left that way. But thanks for thinking about him. 👍
