@@dean4817 you think an off-road van has different construction? Keen to see where you got your info? It’s mostly chassis and suspension differences I’ll bet

HIWAYHOBO Bryce well done . You have opened a new world to caravaners . Only in extreme areas do you warrant a hi - rise van. You can only tow them where the tow vehicle diff will clear the ground . I've been going around for over 20 years & never need one of them .. Chelsey , you are good front girl & I love the meals you prepare ..
I must say this was one of the BEST and most informative episodes I've watched. And to see how you guys visit all these places and show us how you make it happen with what you've got, really shows us that you don't need to spend mega bucks to do the same. Very informative episode. We'll done!
We traveled on the Gibb in a new age 18’’ & had only one fault the water pump fell off , but fixed it . Great drive. As you said drive to the conditions. Love you show.
That water in Coral bay is from the artesian bore. It will rust through anything. The town is now on scheme water so not sure why you didn’t get any fresh water. Good video, thanks.
Hi guys, noticed your tv was still on the bracket after all the travelling over corrugated roads. Just a tip, it pays to remove the antenna cable from the tv….vibration of the cable connected to tv can break the solder joint of the antenna plug in the tv…just a tip for what it’s worth…your videos are the best, the wife and I love watching them.
Hi Bryce and Chelsea, can’t get enough of your videos. How do you find your portable washing machine and would you recommend it? Stay safe and continue to make more amazing memories together.
Hey! Thanks so much for watching! We love it. Obviously would love one inbuilt into the caravan but for a portable washer it’s good 👍🏽 we don’t use the spin dry function because it’s just easier to ring out by hand. It’s a very good price you can buy them from Everything Caravan and Camping. It’s a 3KG Devanti.
Great video. I just bought a 1995 17ft Jayco Discovery caravan. because we were told we had to move out at the end of the lease in February. We are looking forward to getting on the road.
Alway go back to when Dick Smith took and old Viscount van out to middle of Australia, if you drive to the conditions you’ll take them anywhere. But I suppose it’s all about the marketing to sell! Always look forward to you videos, very enjoyable. Thank you
Another great video guys, we just got to perlubie today and camped on the beach and I was thinking about when you were here and the tide came in and then I saw your photo on WikiCamps, so fingers crossed 🤞
Hey Chelsea, we were so excited cause we just saw you in Exmouth, (in the bottle shop) haha. Didnt say hi as my partner was too shy. Bugger. Love your content and always look forward to your vids each sunday. x Adam and Jen on the Move
My parents have an on-road van that they regularly take to Ningaloo, Landor Races etc. They did replace the axles with heavy duty ones as they bowed. The only thing with on-road is sometimes you don’t have much clearance if you’ve got to go through a washout. As you say, it depends on what you want to do, where you want to go and how often you want to do it. We went full off-road, and covered as much rugged tracks as we did bitumen over 2 years. I think if we had an on-road van, it wouldn’t have finished our trip. And yes, we let the tyres down and drove steady.
Hey Kym thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏽 One day we will get an off road caravan but until we can afford it our on-road caravan will do nicely 🥰 We’ve raised up the caravan by welding in a 4inch beam 👍🏽
Thank you for the awesome video again. A big huge thank you for letting everyone know about off-road as we thought we had to go and buy a off-road van for little places to go if that makes sense. That is a big plus as that was one thing that was stopping me from travelling. We have the motorhome but would like a van as well. Thank you again.
Top comments about vann... Leaf very good, independent better... Repair bloke told. Me.... Drop yr tyre pressure, drop yr speed and dont be a flog behind the wheel... And should be ok.
Ive sold caravans for 9 years and I’ve almost given up on trying to convince people they don’t need Chinese hybrids to do all of this stuff.. I’ll just get ‘em to watch your video 😂
Hi Chelsea and Bryce, As usual a great video. I’m just curious as to the kind of fishing rods you use, are they surf rods? We would have been close to Exmouth about now but hubby took I’ll in Darwin and was flown to Brisbane for treatment so our adventures have been put on hold for a while (hope not too long) but I want to take him fishing (he also wants to try squidding) but we haven’t done either 😂
Hey Kerry! They aren’t surf rods just average $80 rods from Anaconda or BCF. I’m sorry to hear your trips changed paths. Safe travels and happy fishing!
Don’t underestimate your van…. We took our “on road” van down the Gibb…. Not even a flat tyre, just a few screws come loose…. Just tyres pressures down and speed down…… we even took it as far as the “king Edward camp grounds” (towards the Mitchell falls)
Most off road vans don't fall apart on the Gibb, caravans fall apart if you drive like a dck, there is massive difference between on and off road vans, having owned both, height and suspension being the main, underbody protection and so on, that said your in a great spot stayed there a few times, keep cruising and having fun life is short by the way ,nice 🐟 🐠
Keep up the good work, always enjoy your video giving it how it is, I have a road going van, we have been to lots of Australia and Tassie 42 trips and 153,000 klm towing van in 10 years, I generally don’t “ Bush Bash “ the van, just go slow on the rough stuff, I don’t see the value in paying the extra for all the fancy suspension and tyres that adds another ton of weight to drag around
Hey Tony! Yes its such a misconception that you need an off road van to travel Aus. Love that you get out there and prove the people wrong like we do. Thanks mate and safe travels
Loving sharing your travels with you; thanks for sharing. How long ago was this, please? We’ll be Exmouth way in the next few weeks and are really hoping the weather holds out so we can swim. Also, are the laundry sheets an Aussie product or an import?
Hey Cynthia! Thanks so much for watching. It was only a couple weeks ago 👍🏽 I’m sure the weather will be great still when your here. The company is owned by brothers who are Aussie. I think the sheets are made overseas though 🤔 all explained on the website. Safe travels

Terence O'Connor🦘 Chelsey . Hi . When you earn the dollars to buy the dream van be very sure to buy one that is ALL AUSTRALIAN MADE * ........... Be sure to ask this question : " WHERE WAS ALL THE FABRICATION & WELDING DONE , WHICH COUNTRY . ? " There are a lot of caravans now sold in AUSTRALIA that are shipped here from other countries in 'FLAT PACK ' much like IKIA sell . They are put together usually in Melbourne , the hang up is ' WHO DO YOU CLAIM WARRANTY FROM ' ? Like your fridge & air-con & stove .. You need to claim it from the company who MANUFACTURED IT . Not from the people / company who assembled it or who sold it .. The van you now have is a well built AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT . Not TOP SHELF but well built for the job you are doing . ASK the question before you part with your hard earned ($) . Bryce , love your drone footage .. Love the footage & comment about the tortes . I thought 'HUMP BACK ' was a whale ! Well done both of you .

Okay very interesting Chris. Yeah the caravan park still makes you fill tanks and doesn’t give you mains water. 🤔🤔

Once you get up to Exmouth, go to Turquoise bay and do the current swim, it drops you off about 700m from where you started
Yeah that’s a good one 👍🏽
Alway go back to when Dick Smith took and old Viscount van out to middle of Australia, if you drive to the conditions you’ll take them anywhere. But I suppose it’s all about the marketing to sell! Always look forward to you videos, very enjoyable. Thank you
Absolutely right! Just nice to know everyone doesn’t need to have a off road to still get out and enjoy Aus!

I have bought some of those laundry sheets just waiting for them to arrive.
Oh cool!
🥰🫶🏼
We used to use laundry sheets, but after reading a test where they were rated the same as using just water we stopped buying them.
Love the suggestion of turning the tunes up 😂
haha fixes everything hey!
Don’t underestimate your van…. We took our “on road” van down the Gibb…. Not even a flat tyre, just a few screws come loose…. Just tyres pressures down and speed down…… we even took it as far as the “king Edward camp grounds” (towards the Mitchell falls)
Hey Ray!
Yeah wow thats great. I'm glad nothing went wrong and its good to know we would be able to do The Gibb if we wanted.
Thanks for watching

You should go on MKR and cook from your van and bbq. 👍

We are currently at 14 mile and the wind has been crazy.Now we are both sick.Home time.
