I took your idea of painting the tow ball a bright colour to make backing the car on easier and it works a treat. Thanks for the tip.

Julie, so loved seeing you have such an active role in this video. Well done. We really appreciate that you have done this and know how hard it was for you. Thank you. (It really gave the video a much more balanced feel.) Brilliant tips, too! We've been 2 yrs on the road now and still picked up s couple of new ideas to try out 😀.

Another good use for pool noodles is to cut a full length spilt into them and then wrap around and secure with cable ties on your plastic pipes under the van as it helps prevent rock damage.
I have watched many travel videos and more often than not at some stage most suffer from water loss or similar due to dirt road driving causing rocks to flick up and damage pipes and/or wiring.
@@kadachiman7234 Thanks for watching and the tip.
I agree, it is a job i need to do.
Very little cost, no weight, definately need to do.
Appreciate the feedback.👍
Ken and Julie
That was a great episode.. we love the master lists, the bright coloured tow hitch, and the noodles are a good idea.. thanks for sharing your tips x

Good one ! Check lists are great value. Thanks for sharing. Bill Mc
@@billmcintosh1242 Thanks again for your feedback Bill.
Ken and Julie.
Great bunch of tips both of you, really like the idea of the R clip on the awning support.
What I did for our waste water hose was to cut eight to ten 2 meter lengths with joiners at one end so that they can be linked together for the ideal length and not have coils of hose to walk over, when packing away they live in a PVC tube in the tunnel boot where they take up next to no room.
@@andyb7123 Thanks for watching Andy. Your hose tip sounds like it works perfectly. Great tip.
Appreciate the feedback.
Happy travels
Ken and Julie
are you concerned about weakening the awning support bracket with drilling the holes?
@@NeilJansons Thanks for watching Neil, not an engineer but holes are very small and on the top of the latch that takes no weight.
So to answer your question, not worried.
I do appreciate your feedback though and wish you safe and happy travels. 😊
Ken and Julie
I liked how you took turns from the inside to the outside. And some great tips, thank you.

Fantastic tips. Thank you. (loved the blooper reel also!) You have a lovely van. We picked our new one up today and I know we'll be using a lot of your tips. Cheers, and happy trails.
@@earthb67 Thanks Adrian, We hope you love your new van as much as we love ours.

Excellent video, great tips, will use a couple of them myself. I like the way you swapped between the both of you and the bloopers at the end were a really good idea. Well done to the two of you and looking forward to your next one.
@@sepsadventures Thanks Sep, 1 of your tips in there, thanks for that one.
As always, appreciate your feedback.
Think you should do one of these tip video's as well.
Just Saying!
Look forward to your next video.

@@gonecaravanning I do need to do another vid and will put your suggestion on my list thanks.
Cable ties to keep awning arms in place
I made my own staps from velcro and works perfectly.

Great tips but I have one for you. Your Companion temp gauge will sit nicely in the face vent of your MUX, between the steering wheel and the A Pillar. Open the stand at the rear of the gauge and it slides into the vent and secures well. That way you can monitor the fridge temp as you drive. Saved me today, the anderson plug that supplies power to my fridge had disconnected from the car and if I hadn't seen the fridge temp rising, I would not have known.
@@petercross8620 Thats a great tip Peter, i love it.
I will be 100% giving it a go.
I have many times on travel days, looked inside van to check fridge temp.
Thanks for sharing,
Happy and safe travels.
Ken and Julie
@@petercross8620 Best tip for me this year.🏆🏆
I tried the companion fridge thermometer in the car a couple of days ago now.
Works so good, sits nicely in that air vent.
Thanks again for the tip.
Winner🥇🥇
@@gonecaravanning No worries, glad it works for you.
Hi Ken & Julie Very much enjoyed the video lots of great ideas. One question I have is the item you use to stop bugs getting into your tap on the A frame. I presume you use a joiner fitting and seal off one end. My question is how did you seal the end off? I look forward to your reply. Stay safe and enjoy your travels. Cheers Peter
HI Peter, i blocked the ends off with conduit pipe end caps bought from bunnings. 16mm i think! Hope that helps.
Thanks for the feedback.
Appreciated
Ken and Julie
@@gonecaravanning Hi Ken & Julie Thankyou very much for your reply I will look into doing that it's a great idea. Cheers Peter
I witnessed my camp neighbour leaving and he forgot to remove his caravan wheel chocks, he noticed about 100 metres, stopped then his son did the walk of shame to retrieve them. Yes a check list is a must for sure. 😂🤣😂
@@jackvincent738 Thanks for watching Jack, Great feedback, made me laugh, 🤣 its so good knowing you checked it off and did that last walk around.
May you have safe and happy travels
Ken and Julie
Fabulous!!

Hi. I have been looking for the checklists - would you be willing to post a photo of your for a future video? just want to see what types of things are on it.

Do you know the name of the corner bracket thing you got for the shower. Looked it up and can’t find them.
Also, do you worry about the rubber marking the floors from the yoga mat??
@@livingtotravel4290 Hi, thanks for watching. Rv storage shower bar or caravan shower corner bracket, should get you results on amazon aus.
We have had no problems with the yoga mat leaving marks on van floor.
Hope that helps

@@gonecaravanning thanks heaps for the quick reply. On to it now 👍
Have you got a tip please for cleaning the leather lounge?
@@Saskia-v9f Thanks for watching Saskia, we dont have a tip we can give you at the moment but i would join a facebook group of your brand of caravan (for us that is Essential) and post the question on that group.
Im sure you will get some great answers to try.
Appreciate the feedback.
Happy travels

Don't use pegs no more, right royal pain in the A@@.I use the screws you buy from Aldi or Bunnings. Haven't lost my Awning yet.Plus much easier to put in/out of the ground with ya drill.Lots of good cheap ass tips!
@@Mixos_place Thanks for watching Michael, appreciate your feedback.
Safe and Happy travels.
Ken and Julie
Some good tips.
But why pay $20 for what is nothing more than a piece of hose with a right angle connector and a tap?
Even before they existed I made my own from spare hose connectors. Probably worth $2!
Seems you caravanners like parting with your retirement funds for "cool" gadgets!
@@antony3678 Thanks for watching Antony.
Appreciate the feedback, happy and safe travels

Agree with you how ever I fill my tanks from the bottom with one tap open.
