What tent do you have in your trailer mate?
I’m years late…but this trailer is as good, if not better than most of the trailers on the market now. Impressive.
@NeedtoBuildIt thankyou! We honestly love it! And also think we did a great job! It's just gone up for Sale now that we have a new project! 😭😜
Awesome set up for a lot less I bet than a u beaut caravan. All your own😊
@jeffwilkes3039 oh yeah! Much cheaper then anything on the market and in our opinion made for a much better travel experience!
Can you go to the toilet in the trailer if you dont have the shower tent up ?
@zip-tv_ sure can :) we didn't design it that way but where it sits in the trailer means you can just jump inside and use it haha
Love it. You have thought it through as a family home on wheels. Thank you
Thank you we love it and everything was very thought through! Haha
Great job, has given me some ideas for my own trailer. You mentioned Seeker (9:52)...I have a wad of Bunnings receipts and pretty familiar with their bits and pieces but what is that?
'Sika' as in Sika flex. It's just a black flexible silicone :)
that Powerpack needs a seatbelt on... 5:42 min.... heavy projectile!
Many great ideas. How do you find the Firestone airbags? Did you ever consider the SumoSprings? at 15min It appears you don't use them to level the trailer when parked up...?
We never had any dramas with them! Correct, we only use the airbags as helper bags to improve drive-ability. We will just use the ramps if necessary when at camp to level it out.
1st of all, I’m stealing your shower tent idea most simple solution I’ve seen, 2, did you rattle can the whole tool box? 3, great build mate, well done.
The shower swing works amazing! Yep we rattle caned the whole thing, although it got peppered in stone chips 😂 Thanks mate! Glad you love it :)
What a handsome hubby you have
Lol yep can relate
Hey guys we met yous at Stockton Lake Collie, we invited your little ones for roasted marshmallows 😊
Hey guys! Oh I'm so glad you found us! I just read your comment to Billy and he immediately remembered that night!
Great enjoyed
How's the Patrol going with it's Gturbo ? 🏜️🌄🛻📹😎🤙
Great! Hasn't skipped a beat 👌
Awesome video 🎉 love ya work
Thanks heaps :)
@@RooftopRoaming your welcome 🤙
The typewriter key you were unsure of was the 'shift/caps' key. On a manual typewriter the caps button caused the character stamps to 'shift' into its alternate position ie. Upper case for letters and symbols for numbers. This is where the term 'shift' button originated. It also had a button that would lock the caps button down, hence 'shift-lock'.
Oh wow! How interesting! Thankyou for commenting!!
I'm glad
Cute Billy
Omg
Go the Patrol! looks good !! 🌄🏜️🏞️📹🤙😎🛻🌤️
Love the old girl!
It’s really good to see you guys back
We are stoked to be sharing our journey again 😍
Woah bit of a rough trot; that's a lot of stress. Understandably, youtube and content would take a hit. We are also frustrated with the internet, and we are with Telstra. We got a nighthawk, but it overheated twice and melted two sims. We are waiting for a new one to rock up; it's taken four months for telstra to sort out their shit and send a new one. We would love the starlink but can't justify the price at this stage. Looking forward to more videos when it feels good for you, and glad you are feeling less stressed. Great honest video 🫶
Actually, now that you mention it, our nighthawk does get warm all the time and won't charge because of it. We haven't had ser ice issues but it's more the nighthawk we have had struggles with. Thanks for joining the adventure :) can't wait to get more videos out and share where we have been for the last 4 months!! So keen and in a MUCH better head space!
Love this guys. Honest, brutal, real and genuine. Thanks for the moment for some real thoughts and rationalisation. Saw your post on the socials, came here and watched. Now we’re subscribed and looking forward to working through your episodes in the next few weeks. What equipment did you film this on? Great quality and sound 👌
Thanks for the feedback! It's nice to take a moment to be honest an vulnerable. It seems to be something alot of people have appreciated so we will have to do more sit down chats for sure! Just filmed straight on our Canon M50. No fancy mics or anything just the cameras mic. We were surprised with the quality as it was quite windy!
old saying never rent to friends or family been there
Yeah, that was our main mistake!
Maybe put it down to being young and this as was one big learning curve? On the flip side, this will be one of those times in your life you will most certainly remember. Myself and partner have spent most of the last 30 years setting ourselves up, everything paid for with no worries about where our traveling funds will come from. But, it's harder to do EVERYTHING. Anyway, kudos to you guys, you're making unforgettable memories that you will never forget.
I definately don't think its related to being 'young' this could have happened to anyone. We had a very unfortunate run of events. Spending 30 years to set yourselves up is great but we made the decision that we weren't guaranteed tomorrow and wanted to take our children on this experience. We also don't think we would enjoy it as much if we wait 30 years and do it when we are 60 😂 those hikes would not be very enjoyable at all!
So proud of you guys! With everything that has happened you’ve pulled through stronger then before and doing absolutely amazing for yourselves! Can’t wait to have you guys home to hear all the amazing stories.
Thanks lovely! It's definately been a shit show but I agree, we have come out stronger and learnt soooo much along the way 😍 We can't wait to get home and have a big catch up! We have plenty of stories to share 😂
you guys did great though ! and had a really cool setup too ! Go the GU Patrol ! . alright hang on let's see what ur gonna say ! 🛻😎🤙📹
with the phones definitely need telstra and in those areas it has only 3g/4g hspda call reception little to none data. use external antennas for maximum range 💻📡
Haha we haven't stopped travelling! Still loving life on the road at the moment!
wow! exmouth what a great location to work at !!
Oh yeah! We were so stoked to pick up work there. Definitely worth missing Karijini for 😍
How good is Moreton 😀❤
We LOVED it!!
Guys please harness your child into his seat. You made the excuse in your last video that you let him go without a seatbelt at slow speeds but clearly you’re doing at least 60k’s an hour on the beach he’s still not wearing seat harness. I mean do you let your daughter not where her seatbelt as well? Or is just the boys as I notice the mum seems to always wears hers. I don’t wanna come across as a troll or a bully I just want you to get the message
Thankyou for your concern :)
I also suggest you buy a cargo barrier so you don’t have stuff come forward and hit your kids heads. Other wise good video
Thnakyou, we don't have much in the back that will fall and hit the kids head and haven't had anything fall forward in the last 12 months. Good suggestion but.
Fair enough if you don’t want to wear your seatbelt, but make sure your kids are their in child harnesses 🤬
Please do car tour
Sounds like a plan!
This is awesome! Id love to be able to do this type of thing with my kids! good stuff yall.
I recommend everyone give it a go once in their life! Even if it's just a 3 week trip! Go for it!
I can't wait to see you love you all😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😍🥰😍😘😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘
Its Ivy-lee
That is amazing Rhiannon and Dale
nice one ! pretty spectacular places to be ! Go the Patrol! 🌅🌊🏞️📹🛻😎🤙
Insanely spectacular! We are very greatful! The patrol is doing us well! 😍😍
go the Patrol! congrats on your trip! some wicked places ! 🌅🏞️📹😎🤙🛻
Thanks heaps! We are having a great time :)
Lovely video but you have to get seat belt on my friend, dont teach your kids the opposite.
I appreciate your concern.
Sick video !! 🌅🏞️📹🛻😎🤙what happened that the Patrol needed new tyres ? or just time ? they look good tho !
need to watch I got bogged at inskip point videos haha 📹🛻😎🤙
Busted a tyre on Moreton island and they were due for tyres anyway :)
GTurbo been going good ? _🛻😎
What's with the kids not wearing seatbelts? Deflated tyres and soft sand... rollovers are pretty common
We allowed Billy to take his seat belt off at certain times of the day. Only ever when we were going at slow speeds and and was safe.
It's illegal and dangerous. You could lose points off your Lic too. Otherwise your content is good.
@@ange1812 thankyou for your feedback! Hope you have enjoyed some of our other videos also :)
🛻😎🤙📹 trailer lights look good !
Thanks heaps! Love them :)
Do you know what kind of steel bar you're using for the door gussets (the stuff you put the rubber on?) Looks pretty thin, the only stuff I can find for mine is 3mm which looks a bit bigger. I know it was ages ago but I don't suppose you know where you got it? Legend!
It was wall strap bracing material from my work (steel frame carpenter). About 1mm thick.
Rhiannon's commentary throughout the video MADE IT hahaha love this episode guys !!!
hahahaha! Glad you enjoyed it!
🛻🏞️🌅🌊😎🤙📹🎬
I hope u get ur steering dampener on the Patrol fixed up properly! they make a big difference ! 🛻
buggar that tyre split is huge !
Was it tricky to get rego'd? what'd you have to do other than weighing it? Anything with the brakes?
No, we didn't have to do anything to do with the brakes. We just took it to a trailer shop to get a look over and the bloke there just wanted us to put in an extra centre piece on the draw bar. After that, we took it back and he stamped it. (We actually stamped it ourselves) hahaha Was a SUPER easy process!
What steel did you use for the drawbar/chassis/frame?
Mild steel man, draw bars 100x50,4mm thick, and the base was made with 50x50, 3mm and the rest was made with 30x30 not sure of the thickness on that off the top of my head 🙂
Nice man, it's come up a treat! Did you just weld on a strip around the inside of where the doors go for the pinch weld?
Actually Disregard, just watched the next video, that looks like what you did haha. Did you use 30mm for the door too? or something a bit smaller so there'd be a bit of a gap for the rubber?
interesting 📹😎🤙🏞️🛻
💻what external antennas are you going to get for the telstra nighthawk 📡 ?
Go the Patrol! setup looks neat and tidy towing .. might need some constant 300kg springs for the rear ?? just noticed a bit of sag while hooked up ?
We aren't running any external antennas at the moment! Just seeing how we go without one and if we need to add one later we will!
Yeah man! She does sag! We are considering getting heavier springs!
you got some good mods done that's for sure ! 🤙🛻😎
ohh yeah! They have made a world of difference.
wow! cool very fascinating! 😎🏞️
It was good fun :) For little and big kids 😂
