    Katrina here , HOT TIP
    I use a cutting board to make and eat the sandwich on , if I cut a tomato use a paper towel to wipe it up so sandwich doesn't get soggy .

    Weather , weather , weather !!!!!!! Can totally control travels . My husband is a weather watch nerd , constantly checking temps and wind both away in the caravan and here at home in Perth. Incidentally , we live in a 2 story home on a small 400sm block , our caravan is 19.6’ long . We have been married 51 fabulous years but when in our confined vehicle and caravan for long periods of time , our interpersonal relationship is even better than when at home . My husband Peter would happily stay full time on the road but I have the draw of 5 grandchildren here at home .

    • @suelandolt6840
      @suelandolt6840 Рік тому

      Wow Fleur 51 years! Congrats that is commendable and yes the draw of 5 grand babies would be enough to keep anyone at home! Family is our richness in life together with health so totally get it! Good to hear you love you van, Deryck and I do well together as well so not looking to stop anytime soon. Thanks for your support! Yes the men are always the weather needs 🤣

    Hi , absolutely loved this video. Yes living in a small space can be extremely challenging but we love it. Oh gosh guys we actually have many show dogs that we travel with and hubby actually tows a specially built dog trailer. I two the tinny with my baby four wheel drive. Now Sue make a cape out of a hand towel, wet it, put it on your dog, put the fan on or hang wet towels around travel crate but a fan on acts like air conditioning for Bob on those very hot days. Travel Safe❤

      Hi Gail, apologies I just SA this message! Oh wow I can just imagine you hurtling around the country with the dogs and tinnie in tow! That is a great idea with the Cape. The problem would be keeping it on him as he is so busy but could def put it over the care. A really great idea! Thanks so much for sharing and for the feedback! Hope you have abgreat week!

    We can relate to everything you've just mentioned. We're in our 70's and still have our home but try to get away in our caravan as much as possible. 140 days last year and in two weeks time about to do 3 months in the Sth Island here in NZ. Up until 5 years ago we did a lot of motorcycle touring. But Jan got cancer 5 years ago & had a rough trot. So caravaning is our thing now. We absolutely love it & have met so many great people. Keep doing what you love guys because you don't know what's around the corner. 😊😊

    One of the best travelling videos on UA-cam We are 11 months in to our 18 month trip around Australia in our 21 foot van and 110% agree with everything in the video
    So glad Sue is looking and sounding a lot better after her illness and looking forward to her mid week video “The Loo and Sue” 👍😂😂

    Great informative video. I love how Mr Bob jumps on the lounge like he rules the place lol. When its extremely cold you just dont want to leave the caravan but really the same when its sooo hot arghhhh but yep being hot there is nothing like a nice swim to cool you down. As for water consumption, oh dear that is a problem, as much as we are frugal both of us still like to shower daily so its a quick get wet, get soaped, get rinsed and out lol.
    Loo review with Sue - hahaha love it

    I've been following you guys for some time now, and I did go back to watch your first episode as you suggested, and I found it quite OK. You have improved over time. I love your S-african accents and you both come across as very genuine people. From the start I've picked up that you didn't have much of a clue about anything, and even now that hasn't improved much at all. Don't take offence but that's what keeps me tuned to you. We are about to set off on our own journey doing the Big Lap or two, and we also don't have any real clue on what to expect.That's the adventure side of things rather than the destination. And Deryck, I don't remember a time where you have actually made a decision on what to eat. It's more like, "What are we having for dinner" and Sue goes into a shpeal on what she will do. I adore you both, I'll keep following you and maybe we will cross paths one day. Cheers Mick and Kathy

We are just rolling through our travels and living the experiences we are having. Yeah Deryck asks me everyday about dinner! So exciting that you are hitting the road to travel and experience the lifestyle. Best of lucknwoth tour trip. Stay safe and thanknyou for your support!

    Loo reviews with Sue 😂 - the state of the facilities can be a make or break aspect of your enjoyment of a location!
    I suppose you have to be careful how you talk about it from a legal perspective, but as long as you clearly state it’s your opinion and your experience at that time should be good.

    • @suelandolt6840
      @suelandolt6840 Рік тому

      Ahaha, yes it gets messy very easily! 4 months in bad weather would have been challenging! I love not having too much stuff! I remember cleaning out the house before we hit the road and how good it felt just to get rid of things we were hoarding. Now we just have what we need!

    Sue, I used 3 stickers. Each time I used something I would remove a sticker. If after 4 trips (so about 8 weeks in all) anything that still had 3 stickers was removed. Anything with 2 I would remove if we needed space otherwise give it 2 more trips then toss if still has 2 stickers. Anything with 1 sticker I would also give those 2 further trips to see if used. I made me realise just how much wasn't needed. I guess if we used ours longer than 2 weeks at a time I would use the 1 sticker rule 👍

    • @suelandolt6840
      @suelandolt6840 Рік тому

      That is such a good idea! I have heard of the 1 sticker rule but 3 makes real sense! I can believe what we took with is when we left and ended up throwing out!

    Great episode. We have done 2 x 5 mth trips around Eastern Australia over the past 18 months. I have to agree with most of your points. The need to adapt to living in a small space does have it's challenges but the positives far outway the negatives. We hit the road again in a few months heading to WA. Hope to catch up with you somewhere.

    Love the honesty from you guys about living and travelling in a van here in Australia. Thanks for highlighting South Australia as a great place to visit, SA is the most overlooked State from a lot of UA-camr's who seem to skip/bypass when travelling or fail to highlight destinations/places. Sa has a lot to offer people so do your homework if your thinking of visiting and it's not all about hugging the Coastline, there's a lot of places inland. Love watching your Vid's and thanks for sharing your experiences on your travels.

      Thanks Alvin appreciate you comment and feedback. Yes I agree SA is an amazing state with so much to see and do. We keep coming back, just can't help ourselves. The inland spots are just as gorgeous and interesting as the coastline. Appreciate your support and have a great week! 👍

Everyone's budget is different and it's great to have nice things at the end of the day,but geez there's some expensive rigs out there. Keep up the great work and safe travels.

      Hey Nate, thanks so much for the comment. The amazing thing is we cross paths with all sorts of people on the road. As is ever in life, some like to have a top class set up and others travel in really affordable setups. Rhey all have different advantages and disadvantages depending on the location! We would have loved to do the Cape in a Roof top or swag to allow us to camp along the OTT! The important thing is that they are all parked up at the same spot and enjoying the same view! Doesn't matter how you do it as long as it is comfortable, safe and fun! Hope you have a great Australia 🇦🇺 day tomorrow!

A little different to manage but once you get the hang of them I believe they are great. We have friends who swear by them and others who don't enjoy them but definitely easier if you are off grid!

    Couple of question for you both.
    How do you find the day to day driving do you find your selves thinking nup can't be bother driving today?
    The water tanks in your van do you use them for everything or only shower washing up etc and buy water for drinking?
    Cheers guys keep up the awesome videos.
    On a side note currently planning a two half month trip from WA to SA.
    April to June.
    Any places you recommend?

      Hi Andy, that is super exciting news! Doesn't matter the size of the van as long as you are out there making memories and a smaller van comes in handy when wanting to get to the good spots! We use the water for everything. Just make sure you only fill tanks with Potable water. You will love SA. Lots of good spots, Rapid Bay, second valley, Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf, Moonta Bay, Robe, Kingston, Wauralty Beach, Port Lincoln, Streaky Bay, Sellicks Beach, Venus Bay, Point Turton, Balgowan, In es National Park, Tumby Bay, Coffin Bay, Point Drummond, Perlubie Beach. So many great spots!

    We are loving these episodes guys. We are waiting to get our van (March/April) and will be fulltime travellers. Thanks for giving us the nitty gritty of van life, its very refreshing to see an honest take on the lifestyle. Just a question about showers. Do you just have a really short shower or do you turn on the water and get wet then turn it off while you wash and then rinse off. Just trying to work out how to use the least amount of water.

    • @suelandolt6840
      @suelandolt6840 Рік тому +1

      Turn it on, get wet, shampoo and soap and then rinse! As quick as you can! Some days I step out and still have soap in my eyes 👀 🤣 but all depends how far away tou are from water 💧 recommend a bladder so you can drive and refill and aottle pump from bunnings to pump it into the van! Or water tank on the cat if you prefer to a bladder! Good luck with your preparations!
