Next time you get back down here, follow one coast down, middle islands up and one coast back down. If time allows, its the best way to see all the really different types of places we have. I really have enjoyed all of your travels world wide, just been partial to see you here - no idea why. Hobbiton was close to where I grew up, not so much your dad, more finished off growing there. Be safe, Aunty Rat x
I take care of everything on the outside of our RV, and she takes care of everything on the inside of our RV. I day we traded on day, and she realized she had the better end of the deal!
That worked out so well for you. Yes, I know how costly hiring one is because we did it back in 2007 when our 3 children were young (8, 11 and 13 at the time) but for a 3 week holiday, it was THE best family holiday. Question! If you have the time, can you do these $1 a day transfers back to back?
I'm glad you showed the harder parts of van life cos it's not something I would think about it. I'd be so tempted to just avoid using the loo on board lol. Spotto reminds me of "punch buggy" but there's nowhere near as many VW beetles anymore
Don't fll up with fresh water at the dump station! That outlet is contaminated. There is always a freshwater tap a few meters away. You can get ill doing that. Or, in this case, the next people renting your van might.
The deisel tax is actually Road Users Tax and nothing to do with the environment - because diesel cost doesn't include any road tax like petrol. This is because it's often used by farm and other 'off road' or sea vehicles which don't put pot holes in the roads. So you pay 7c per km when you're a road using vehicle. You'll also have noticed that diesel is less expensive than petrol - because it doesn't include any road tax. 😃
Diesel vans gets road charges, Visit Mount Te Aroha for the Summit Sunrise, Feb and March is best for a Surf n Beach experience. You can also harvest wild foods, if thats a UA-cam Topic?
@@JordanandEmily Oh Hi Jordan and Emily! You should add it every time you finished the business! The chemical additives will break down waste in your portable toilets. It's Biodegradable and environmentally safe. Also comes with good aroma. Try it :) I have used it during my camp years ago as told by an experienced camper.
@@cjbrown3396hi noob here.. is the chemical the pink liquid for top bowl rinse, or the cassette blocks? I stayed in a caravan recently which didn’t have the rinse liquid unless it’s In The cistern?
Haha that's why it's such a good deal, we found a company that let's you relocate them for $1 per day.. also sometime they need them relocated so badly that they pay you for your fuel too! We linked the company in the description 😀
Fresh water from the dump station???🤮 Incredible how many people have no common sence with hygiene around these stations. Maybe you should stick to social media from inside your own walls.
@@JordanandEmilyI wonder if it might be good to add into your video, like a lingual popup during the van fillup scene, not to use that hose for van fillups (it's for cassette cleaning) so others don't make that mistake?

sounds like a good plan to me!
We already want to come back - might have to try and convince the whole fam to come next time ;)
xo
What an adventure! Enjoyed every moment
Thanks for watching along! 😊 it was a fun one!
I take care of everything on the outside of our RV, and she takes care of everything on the inside of our RV. I day we traded on day, and she realized she had the better end of the deal!
😄 it's a good idea to alternate and both get to see what the other does
Enjoy watching you guys!!
Thanks Suay! 😊
Btw you do not need to replace the bottle. You can refill it at a gas station.

It ended up great! 😊 such a good family holiday idea, you can definitely do the transfers back to back to back if you can time them up! 😀

Haha I remember punch buggy! Your right, don't see them much at all anymore 🤔
Thanks guys, I really enjoyed your video's
Thanks so much! 😊

Ooooo this is a very good tip, good to know! Thank you!!
Drama queen, the tab might be but if you flush a bit of water out and then connect your hose it is perfectly fine.
Dont fear monger.
so what happens if you rent or own a yellow or pink vehicle? Do you just win spotto by default?
Ooooh great question - I think you might 🤔🤣

This makes a lot of sense!! Thank you! 😊

Visit Mount Te Aroha for the Summit Sunrise,
Feb and March is best for a Surf n Beach experience.
You can also harvest wild foods, if thats a UA-cam Topic?
Don't see why it can't be a youtube topic!
Love the intros! 😊
We had fun doing them for the NZ series
At least you always have fresh water throughout.
yeah! it's handy!
How much kms you guys travelled totally which brings the diesel levy 144$??
Sorry were really not sure what it was anymore! 😞
Did you guys add the toliet fluid? It should be fine without the smell lol.
It was already added when we picked the van up haha, maybe not enough? Haha

Renting such camper costs around 300$ a day.. how did you come up with 1$?

Many buy a camping car, they buy from Backpackers,
How much is your van
This one was $1 per day!
You've done $1. a day before, why was this so different?????????????? Buy a composting toilet, much better. from Star Gazer
Never had to do the toilets and water management haha
Now is a good time to buy one .. just saying Ü
Hahah really?
@@JordanandEmily truely … have a look on trade me.
