    Hey Dee & Nicole, congratulations! I hope you have a lot of fun. Have you considered installing a MM 4x4 Automate? It was recommended to me for my NX 2017, which is towing our 18.8 van, and it helped greatly with the better fuel economy. I also had it re-tuned at UDT! Runs very well now.

      We are considering the lockup kit or a bigger oil cooler. Not entirely sold on the lockup as some auto specialists say it creates a lot of wear on the converter but not sure 😄 the idea of just locking it up on the highway and down steep hills will be good

      Hi Mick! We are always transparent- always have been, and always will be. We don't have any affiliation with Jayco and as with most of the videos, the products we talk about are ones that we as a business sell- which is why we make the videos. Products that are gifted are disclosed, and even then- if it's good we tell you, if it's crap, we tell you. Cheers!

    Can I say that after talking to other people when you do your new episodes when travelling please try to make your videos around 10 to 15 minutes as what I have heard there is a lot of people out there that do not like the long episodes. When your do ya trip just go and have fun. Start in qls then out back nsw the country Victoria and the over to SA to the Flinders and then over to WA then out to Kalgoorlie ect and then up to Broom and the across the top to Darwin then down to airs Rock then back into qld to Mt isa then ove to the tip and then back home. Well that's the way id go but it's all up to yous.
