Sick video guys! What a spot! Spewing about the door!! Awesome work Sue too! Loved hearing about your childhood and how you got into camping 🎉🎉
Thanks guys🙌🏻 the bloody door 🤬. So disappointing
My husband and I have been binge watching your vids for the last few days. My husbands face just lit up when you said where you grew up. He grew up in East London, he’s been in Aus for about 20yrs though 😊
Hey mate it might be a sneaky fix for you but if you screw a door stop rubber right where the dent it it will hide it but also look like it belongs there
Thanks for that. We taking all ideas and then will look at it. Appreciate the idea 😁
That is sheer brilliance! It is nerve racking thinking they will take the side skin off.
Oh well, you have a dent, but the upside is, the door did not rip off!!!!!Could of been worse, check out the The feel good family, rolled their 79 land cruiser!!!
@@lynparsons6539 we not comparing ourselves to anyone else at all. Yes it could have been worse by loosing the door. We try and look after our stuff and the extent of getting the panel replaced is a pretty big job. At least we can still keep going
@@justvanningit I was thinking along the same lines with bump stop attached to a small stainless steel plate brushed finish say 2.5-3 mm thick 100 square countersunk screw from the back to hold the bumpstop, attach the plate to the van with TRex bond adhesive amazingly strong adhesive this is used to manufacture composite caravans , made in Belgium, Bunning, Major tiles sell it also.
Here we go 🎉 first comment yeeeeeettt
Yeeew🤙🏻
Always, you are legends!
Keep smiling guys, in a year it’ll be something you can look back on with a bit of a laugh 🤗 and have more great adventures like those last couple days. Travel safe
Oh guys I’m so sorry for the damage too your pride and joy, will vacationer help you repair the damage. You guy’s are great, please keep vlogging, I truely enjoy all your episodes. Stay safe and keep living the dream.
Thanks phoenix 🙌🏻
Awesome cooking, love it. Love the roast vegs especially the Mediterranean salad. Wow. Thanks for sharing.
Deryeck: at 20.09 you deposited your two bags of rubbish in the skip. Well done but you didn’t compress into the existing load so the lid was totally closed. It’s been left ajar for birds etc to access the bin. Sad to see!
Hope it can be repaired, I would even cover that dint in your van with a nice custom door stopper, prevents it getting damaged again if the door opens up again
Sounds like a good plan 👌 will look into it, thanks so much for the support!
All can be repaired but for now, we keep moving forward 🙌🏻
A small piece of black powder coated checker plate will hide that dent and protect the side of the van if it ever happens again
Thanks so much, sounds like a great idea!
Disaster? Wheels falling off is a disaster. Scratches on the door is a princess job. Toughen up man. You can DO IT!
Such a shame about the door. Baffles me that it's installed swinging that way in the beginning tbh. Such a simple fix to prevent that ever happening. Just subscribed!
Thank you 🙏 . We appreciate the support 😁
Music to loud when commentary ❤😂
These humungus huge heavy caravans would be very daunting to drag around ..like dragging a two story block of flats behind you .
Great spot. Don’t sweat the dints and scratches they’ll end up driving you crazy. Everything can be fixed down the track!
True 🙌🏻
Thanks so much, very true!
Oh forgot to say I loved the segment with Sue, she did an awesome job getting dinner.
She did an amazing job 🙌🏻
Omgbibwill never squash a match fly again! Thanks for the heads up!
Just tuned in guys. Loving the vlog. Notch point is a cracking spot, shame you had bad weather. Great you showed an episode like this. People don’t show you the bad and tuff times you have on the road, weather it be the weather, damage or something else. Hope it’s an easy fix! Maybe I’ll see you around brisbane! Keep it up
Lucky you only got a dent, it could have been much worst . I don't know why some caravan manufacturers fit doors that open in this orientation? If the door opened the other way you it wouldn't of flung open a damaged your beast of a van.
Keep the good content coming. We look forward to your new episodes.
Hey,the dynamic trio,top vid guy's.Deryck i understand the disappoint with the door damage,but as they say
these things happen at least no one was hurt.Thanks.🍻🥂👍🏾
Hey Doug, thanks so much really appreciate your support every week! Yes things could be a lot worse and we are grateful that door didn't come off and damage someone's vehicle or worse hope you have an amazing week!
💯 Doug. No one got hurt and we didn’t loose it so we keep moving 🙌🏻
yes please... great work sue, amazing wine time and cooking clips...... more sue please
Thanks for your adventurous interesting footage, just excellent stuff. Yeah I feel for your disappointment but at least it can be repaired and all will be back to norm soon enough.
Bugger about the door guys - loved seeing more of Sue too 👍👍🥂🥂
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks Tracey 👍 😊
What an eventful episode- hopefully it’ll be a quick fix for the van. Great to hear about how Sue got into camping etc.
Thank you 🙏.
Thanks Charlotee, it was a busy trip! Hope you have an awesome week!
another great video, this is real and true re on the road unlike others put up showing all great and trouble free. So sorry re the door and as stated in other comments so lucky the door did not rip off as that would have really stopped you and possibly been disastrous if there were others behind you when it happened. I am very particular with our little caravan so feel your pain but all is good, no one hurt, you are still out there living the dream, and parma and beer is a great fixer upper 👍 Have a great week and travel safe
Thank you 🙌🏻. Agree , it could have been worse by loosing the door and the door hitting someone or causing other damage. We can still move on 🙌🏻
Thanks so much, 100% agree!
Really enjoyed this episode and especially your segment Sue. Bugger about the door flying open but shit happens sometimes and you can get it fixed or maybe put something there so the door can't dent the main wall again. Upsetting for you both though.
Love your chanel guys. Awesome roast sue.
I feel your pain 😢 denting yr van 😩
Great cooking segment Sue✔️
Thanks so much, always appreciate your support and someone's. Have a great week 😀
Thanks so much 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Might want to drop into Bunnings and grab a can of "Harden Up".
Thanks for the sarcasm
Awesome spot. Ahhh bob is just like my little girl. She's 4 months old and is going through a can't hear you stage, drunk on freedom lol.
Thank you. Yea he has I can’t hear all the time 😂😂
Sorry to see damage to your pride and joy. I feel your pain. I am same same when it comes to damaging things like that. At least for now, could you perhaps sikalex a piece of black chequerplate over the damage. It might just look as if it was supposed to be there - i.e. - to stop the door banging back into the side of the van !!! Just a thought. Good luck with it all. Dave
Thanks Foss. Just what we were thinking of doing🙌🏻 thank you for the support
Thanks Dave, we are great g some great suggestions and will def put something over that in case it happens again in future! Have a great week!
Hi guys like listening to I like watching your videos you missed a great camp by not going to boynedale and you could have got some good Barramundi out of a awonga safe travels digger
Thanks Greg. Will be sure to make a visit next time we pass!
Shame about the incident with the van door. Hope it gets sorted ok. Loved Sue's little cooking segment. You guys looked exhausted at the end there, hope you both managed to get some rest after all the drama.
Thank you. Sue is alright on camera without me 😁 thanks for the support 🙌🏻
Thanks so much, it was a big day. The meal at the hotel saved us and we started fresh the next days. Doesn't happen often but now and then we find camps we just can't get into!
Disaster no way. How experienced are you. The rough roads look pretty easy for an off road van.
Interested to hear your from Gonubie . We Camped at yellow sands and gonubie caravan site every year for about 10 years. Fished the river there too.
This is an Amazing destination! Enjoying your videos . Hope you get the van fixed .
O yes. Yellow sands is great place and have camped there many times 🙌🏻 thanks for the support 😁
G'day Guys, another awesome episode 👍👍👍Well the secret is out on who can build the better fire 🤣🤣🤣Lov ya work Sue 😁😁😁Shame about the dent from the door, put a sticker over it and it'll be our little secret 🤫🤫🤫
We have used the drone a few times to see ahead when looking for camps, saves a long walk 🍺🍺🍺
Keep the awesomeness coming 👍👍👍
Cheers Andy🍺🍺🍺
Thanks Andy, I am def the better fire builder! 🤣🤣🤣 on this occasion Deryck came out and had to restart the fire 🔥 🙊
We are thankful it was just a dent and that the door didn't fly off completely!
Yeah the drone is super helpful to look ahead, pity we didn't think of it!!! Great tip and will def use it next time! 👍
Thanks Andy. Sue goes alright 😁
Not a bad idea using the drone but a walk is good as well 😂
Thanks for the support 🙌🏻
❤that’s the way to solve the problems. Parma & a pot or 2 what problem was that 😂😂
Poring rain in the Grampian’s last night yes in the van would you believe pub Parma 👍
Parma is always the way! Thanksns9 much for the support. Hope you managed to stay dry!
Definitely the way to sort problems out 😂
Great to able to finally here Sue speak yahoo
Ahaha thanks Derek, once I start you might not stop me 🤣🤣🤣
Oh currently watching this video and saying. Wrong way wrong way!!!! You were so close to a great river front spot.
Close the lid on the bin. The crows will make a miss
Mate, ........ feel for you, chin up your living the dream !
Thanks Peter, appreciate it!
Thanks Peter 🙌🏻
Awesome spot guys, another spot on our list 👌 shame about the 🚪 swinging open.
Thanks guys, all part of travel and happy the door didn't come off all together. Thanksnfor your comment hope you have a great week!
Thanks guys🙏 at least we never lost the door and we can still keep going🙌🏻 staying positive 🤙🏻
Hi Sue great job with the video better than the Old man.
Ahaha thanks Peter! I told him the same 🤣🤣🤣
Good vid guys, I feel your pain. My van door hinges the other way so if it does come open it won’t swing into the van. Keep your chin up 👍
Thanks so much, we will make sure our next van has a door opening the other way! Thanksnso much for your comment and support!
Thanks Isuzie. It could be worse as the door could have come off, so lucky there. We can still keep going 😁
I've had a similar thing happen on one of my vans with the door, now I get all my doors reversed do if they come unlatched vehicle movement and air flow keeps them closed mostly, I feel for you though
Oh poop. That's a shame about the damage to your van. But hey....it can be fixed. Worse things happen. Onwards & upwards team. 😀
Thanks Dave. 💯 correct. It have been worse but at least we can still keep going 🙌🏻
Thanks Dave, so lucky the door didn't come off! Agree, onwards and upwards. Thanks for your support!
Sue, that’s not a glass, it’s a bloody bucket of wine 🍷 😂😂😂. Well done with the fire 🔥.
Notch Point, bloody awesome spot, we luv it. How’s the Starlink going?? Ours arrived last week and going away this weekend and will check to c how it goes. Safe travels, Rob & Alana
Thanks guys. It’s a mega pint 😂
Starlink is good. Video out wed on it 🙌🏻
OH OH OH No!!!!! I would hang onto that fail for days. Really feel for you fella :o
Thanks mate, all good it could have beennworse, we could have lost the door all together and it could have damaged or injured someone behind us, part of travel I spoke! Thanks for your support!
Thank you 🙏
@@suelandolt6840 Yeah your so right:D We really enjoyed the arvo cook up you did, how about a regular gig :)
Sorry about your van but you know it was good to see some bad things happen not talking about the van but about the roads and not been able to do this and that as 99% of videos are all perfect and when you start travelling you think it is going to be perfect and when things don't work out you are more likely to turn around and go home so this is a great reality video. Thank you.
Thanks Maree, 100%. It's not all raimbows and sunshine but we are blessed to be able to travel so when these things happen we just have to put it in perspective!
@@suelandolt6840 It is amazing to see some bad times as it is more realistic if that makes sense. Thank you so much for making rea videos and sorry about your van.
Oh no that's just bad luck I feel for you maybe do like that guy b4 suggested worth a go that roast Sue cooked looked epic yummy cheers legends
Thanks mate 🙌🏻 looking at all recommendations on the damage 🙌🏻
Thanks Stephen, have a great week 😀
Can we have a Banning it with Sue spinoff ? Love your work❤
We had our van door come open and punched a hole through fibreglass wall. I glued a white nylon block over hole. now a door stop. you could do something similar. black nylon maybe.
ThanksnStephen, yeah it seems a more common problem than I thought! Great idea 💡 👍
Great idea. Thank you 🙌🏻
Buy a small 100mm square vent from Bunnings and stick over the dent. Just spray it the same colour.
Great idea mate. Will have a look as soon as we near a hardware store 🙌🏻
@@justvanningit just fit it with some black silicone.
Stick a bit of black checker plate over it fixed.
Great vid nothing quite like a adventure where in SA did you live Sue i haven't been there yet but my mum was born in Cape Town went to NZ at the end of the war i was born in NZ but became a Aussie last year that is a nasty hole in the van best fill with silicone before rain gets in
Thanks Terry, Deryck and O both come from a town called East London in the Eastern Cape. Fortunately it only dented the wall and sister put a hole in it! Have a great week!
What a bummer about the door, hopeful out can get a dent guy to fix it. What does Sue do for work on the road?
thats a bugger about the damage to the van, I completely understand how devastated you are with how you look after everything. hope it can be fixed easily
will it be warranty due to the locks failing?
also would be interested in a Review on the starling setup bet it made a really good difference for Sue's work.
We will get it sorted. Video up on wed regarding starlink 🙌🏻
@@justvanningit hope its not to bad to fix, nice looking forward to seeing it :)
Thanks so much! Have a great week
.
Ouch guys 😢sorry to here about door
Hey guys! Welcome home! Your trip abroad looked AMAZING! Hope you are well xxx
Yea, disappointed but at least still have the door and we can keep going 🙌🏻
@@justvanningit that’s true , I think all doors on vans should open the other way to avoid such damage . Just my thoughts 💭 what do I know 😜
Any idea what the lid is for on the bin at notch point?
Another ace vid guys!!! Sue you are a bloody natural 👏🏻 how good was that roast and salad!!! I’ll be requesting that when we all catch up again 🤤
Thanks guys😁 let’s book it in 🙌🏻 see you soon
Ahaha, thanks Lisa! When you got it you got it ahahaha! I will be cooking you a curry and a roast....just let me I to that kitchen 🤣🤣🤣
Dried cow poo on a fire will get rid of mozzie.
Old bush thing.
Just asking did you close that skip lid
Hi yeah as didn't want the animals to get into it but but didn't want to rummage through the rubbish on camera.
Wonder if the door latch screws worked loose on the cape roads.
Not sure but we have been making sure screws didn’t come loose
The bracket is enclosed by a plastic cover, definitely possible.
I don't understand why they put suicide doors on caravans , poor design I say , you going to have to put an extra home made latch on door as back up
Sorry for your damage. Complete design fault. Who would think of putting a door with a reverse swing. Take it back to them. There responsibility.
Notch is my happy place, IMOA caravan doors should open the opposite way so that can't happen
I 100% agree, we have met a few people who have had the same issue. Will be a definite request for our next van.
Someone we met on the road said the same thing and then a few weeks later , it happened
You are so lucky to still have a door
Bonjour ,dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de sous-titres dans d'autres langues , peut-être que Madame UA-cam vous demande de l'argent ?.
I’m at a loss to understand why you left such a great spot with a 10 percent chance of rain .
Have you been to notch point before ? The rain came a lot more than they predicted and we would have battled to get out there.
@@justvanningit No I haven’t been to notch point yet . It was hard to tell from your episode how difficult the track was ?you made 10percent sound like 90percent . I have just returned from Charlotte plains station which has a very weather dependent track in . I guess we all make decisions on our setup and playing weather man is hard at the best of times .
U should have a door stop
It’s got me buggered why the van mobs put the doors on that way. They come in left or right hinge.🤷♂️
Agreed Mike, we have said the same thing! Hope you have an awesome week!
It is something we will look into as I can see why with the window opening the other way
Would you be able to do what you are doing here i South Africa?
Free camping probably not but caravan parks would still do 👍
Not sure about the free camping but most probably the caravan parks. It would be an awesome experience I’m sure 🙌🏻
Is paintless dent removal an option on caravans??
Not sure but it’s something we will look into 🙌🏻
Thanks Jamie, will look into it!
People need to take their rubbish home with them, i.e. 8min mark can on grass just in front of grazing cow.
Did you ever think of only using a RTT?
I take it you talking about a roof top tent ?
Definitely something we thought about but with sue working full time and myself working social media, we need somewhere comfortable and to be able to get out the elements. We have met people that do do it in a rooftop and I think it has its benefits and so does a caravan
wow what a disaster! pfft
Where's ya veggies lol
I can understand your disappointment- but ‘disaster’? No disaster here
mmmmm the doors a bitch and you can continue.........rolling a car or a van would be a disaster...still entertaining video
Thanks Adam.
How is that a disaster. Unpleasant yes but treat it as a badge of honor. Can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
Well when it’s your pride and joy and appreciate what you have , it can be a disaster. A disaster can be anything to anyone.
Real Disaster
Y don't they sing caravan doors the other way ?
