Awesome info guys. Have the same MoHo and what you’ve done has helped us heaps. Planning on JB Holiday Park next after your recommendation. Keep up the good work and hopefully see you on the road one day.
Great review both 👍 thanks! Only 2 months til I relocate to Aus (from Turkey) and Mullumbimby is one of my bases before buying my MH.. Looking forward to your video 🤩Hope to catch you one day on the road..
Hi, how exciting for you to be buying your motorhome. We have absolutely loved Mullumbimby and will be back for sure. Safe travels to you and likewise, hope to catch you out there on the road.
Thanks for the walkthrough. Nice to recap on what the various layouts offer. We are a week away from picking up our FA 25-1. Good to know that your overall happy with your purchase after a solid 12 months use.
Hi, we were using the telstra wi-fi modem for most of the past two years. We have recently purchased Starlink and are very happy with that. We also just hot spot from the 5g mobile phone in a lot of places and that works very well provided there is a 5g tower nearby somewhere.
Thank you both so much for your fantastic videos, we are picking our ms24.4 up in a couple of weeks and your tips are really great, maybe see you on the road once we’re up and about 👍😊
Hi, how exciting for you, we hope you love the MS24-4 as much as we do. It really is such a great way to be out there exploring. Thanks for the comment and we are glad we have been of assistance.
Great review guys. Really nice Motorhome. The Merc looks like a really nice upgrade from the Renault. I wish our little 20.5 had come in rear wheel drive, and a bit more cupboard space would be nice too. See you out on the road one day. Dennis 😃👍
@ Yes mate. Deb & I just completed an 800km hike across Spain over 1 month. Looking forward to some Motorhome trips now. Deb retiring in July 25 & I’ll start chewing up my long service before leaving too. Hoping to follow yours & Kerrys lead with the MH trips. See you out on the road one day 😃👍
@ Sure will. Were a bit worn out after that 800km hike across Spain. Heading up to the Sunshine Coast in the MH this January for a couple of weeks. Also just pencilled in a 3 month trip over to WA next year. Semi retirement starts shortly. Planning to use a lot of my LSL over the next 3 years then retiring permanently from the firies after that. Looking forward to living the life you two do. Dennis & Debbie. 😃👩
Have a Jayco IV25-5. Had the same issue with the Lippert screen freezing. Just got our first service a few weeks back and the dealer updated the firmware version to 1.1.4. This has stopped the screen freezing issue. Works fine now.
What's a typical service cost for you? Are they double or triple or more compared to car? Is it only the vehicle side of it getting a service or does the motor_HOME side also get serviced?
Simple solution for the sky light hatch is 100mm thick foam by 20mm larger than the size of your hatch, cover one side with an old wind screen reflective and cover the rest in a fabric of your choice, I used spray adhesive to stick it all together.
Hey guys, Just s question on the 2ltr motor on your motorhome, how is it for power, do you have any issues with overtaking. We're not sure if where going for the mech or the iveco.
Hi, we love the Merc, we are away at the moment (not towing the car) and we have been doing some windy, hilly roads and the Merc performs very well. No problem overtaking. When we tow the car its a bit different obviously but still no problem with power.
Jayco Syd have a 2023 model now for sale, apparently this model is no longer on the production line. Is yours a 2023. Would you buy one thats been sitting on the lot for 18 months. One for sale is a V6
Hi, that's interesting that you say the model is no longer on the production line, its still advertised on the Jayco website as an option. Ours is the 2023 model with the new 2 ltr turbo diesel motor. Our understanding with the V6 engine is that Merc were not making these from 2023 onwards. Google the V6 Mercedes Sprinter information and it says they stopped making them and were not available in the 2023 models. Maybe that motorhome has a 2022 chassis. Not sure if we would buy one that's been sitting for that long, probably not anything wrong with that but would want to know more about the age of the chassis. Good luck with your choice.
Hi, the bed does not like having anything too think left on it, such as a blanket or doona. The sensor will not reach all the way to the top when the bed goes up if you have thick blankets on it and then it gets stuck, we blew two fuses trying to work out if we could put a mattress topper on the bed. We just leave the sheets on to be safe.
Thanks for the reply. We’re in early days narrowing down what we want and need in a motorhome so Thankyou. Thinking with my 6ft2” hubby he’ll be too tall for the lounge area with the bed up and it might be a pain to get in and out of the bed during the night so thinking we will look more at an island bed. We’re overseas travelling for 3 years and looking to buy a motorhome on our return to travel around Australia. Thank goodness for you tube and blogs, very helpful indeed. Happy travels guys. We’ve subscribed as enjoy your videos 😊
Hi, Telstra wi-fi modem, just did away with that and have just purchased Starlink, we also hot spot with the 5g mobile phone if there is a 5g tower somewhere.
Thank you. I am getting as much knowledge as I can. I will be getting one later. I am worried about all your van problems. I will have to live in mine.
Hi, thats a shame about the Lippert screen, really thought they would have sorted the problem by now for the new handovers. Stay tuned, ours goes back again at the end of October to hopefully have it fixed once and for all.
I think I heard U say service every 2 years if thats the engine thats a problem my iveco is every year or 50,000.00 km & if I were to do the 50,000.00km between services I would be 🧠☠ so I will B servicing the engine every 10,000.00 km the roof beds R 💩 U have to make them up every time I have the 26.1 fixed bed @ the back great 😎
Hi thanks for the comment, we are taking our MH for the first Merc service next week. Mercedes says 2 years but we definitely don't want to wait that long. Better to be safe. The fixed bed would be amazing. One day we might look at that, we looked at the 26.1 and really liked it.
Awesome info guys. Have the same MoHo and what you’ve done has helped us heaps. Planning on JB Holiday Park next after your recommendation. Keep up the good work and hopefully see you on the road one day.
Thanks so much for the message and we are glad to have been some help to you. Enjoy that part of Australia, it is beautiful.

Thanks from NZ for keeping it real. One day we will come over & motorhome in Aussie.
Hi, thanks for the message. That will be fabulous for you to come over and motorhome in Aussie, we see lots of hire motorhomes on the road.
Thanks for the walkthrough. Nice to recap on what the various layouts offer. We are a week away from picking up our FA 25-1. Good to know that your overall happy with your purchase after a solid 12 months use.
Loved the video. I am interested in your wifi system you have.
What security do you have for Mullumbimby. You will need it.
Hi, thank you. Very exciting for you being so close to picking up your 25-1. Have the best time travelling in it.
Hi, we were using the telstra wi-fi modem for most of the past two years. We have recently purchased Starlink and are very happy with that. We also just hot spot from the 5g mobile phone in a lot of places and that works very well provided there is a 5g tower nearby somewhere.
ok, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Dennis. Yes the 20-5 could certainly do with more storage. Welcome home, you look like you have been having a great adventure 😊

Your trip sounds amazing. Walking that far is just outstanding. Enjoy the MH trips now.

Hi, glad to hear you have resolved your lippert issues. Fingers crossed they will fix ours at its next booking.
What's a typical service cost for you? Are they double or triple or more compared to car? Is it only the vehicle side of it getting a service or does the motor_HOME side also get serviced?
Great review guys 😁
I think the custom hatch covers are maybe by Solarscreen.
thank you, will look into that.
Simple solution for the sky light hatch is 100mm thick foam by 20mm larger than the size of your hatch, cover one side with an old wind screen reflective and cover the rest in a fabric of your choice, I used spray adhesive to stick it all together.
Hi, thanks for the information, what a fabulous idea. It sounds like that would provide a really good amount of sun and heat block.

@ Watsons Coffs didn’t recommend it. They confirmed today definitely no longer being made. New model aug 25. Pushing the fiat’s.
Can you not leave the bed made up while it’s in the up/roof day position?
Hi, the bed does not like having anything too think left on it, such as a blanket or doona. The sensor will not reach all the way to the top when the bed goes up if you have thick blankets on it and then it gets stuck, we blew two fuses trying to work out if we could put a mattress topper on the bed.

Hi, 13 to 14 amps coming in. We have two 200w solar panels.
@@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 thats good
Didnt go for a diesel heater?
Hi, no we didnt get the diesel heater, it would have been handy to have.
Could you please tell me about your wifi system.
Hi, Telstra wi-fi modem, just did away with that and have just purchased Starlink, we also hot spot with the 5g mobile phone if there is a 5g tower somewhere.
Thank you. I am getting as much knowledge as I can. I will be getting one later. I am worried about all your van problems. I will have to live in mine.
Whats the GVM ?
Hi, the GVM is 4490.
We've just purchased a Jayco conquest 25.3. Same issues with Lippert screen.😡
Hi, thats a shame about the Lippert screen, really thought they would have sorted the problem by now for the new handovers. Stay tuned, ours goes back again at the end of October to hopefully have it fixed once and for all.
