Hello Paul and family. I have been following you since your caravan and 4wd adventure started. My wife and I are retired and have been camping/camper trailering for 40 years. It is so refreshing to see you add as you learn to travel this amazing country. Love your journey and seeing you enjoy places we have visited over the years. We were at Copy Hollow last year in the same spot as you and just loved the sunsets. Just one last thing. As you drive and talk I have noticed that you also travel with your Kathmandu puffer vest as I do. Love your channel.
My son will kill me When I say you were right on our doorstep and we didn’t get to meet you lol. Brighton is our go to summer beach as there’s little pools there when tide goes out fantastic for little kids . Glad you enjoyed it
Hi all, so good lovely spots, tanks batteries and canopy will be so beneficial in the future, we also install false floor and slide out drawers in the tray as it doubles the amount of useable space. Take care cheers catch up next week.
That was a great video, love the leg up pop Katie, and Paul wow great singing there. Was wonderful to catch you at the Caravan show yesterday in Brisbane. Safe travels back to Adelaide on Tuesday xx
Hi Guys another great episode listened to your talk on Friday at the Brissy show would love to have said hello but so much to see. just purchased our van now waiting patiently until next year for delivery :) :) :)
Hi Kerri, thank you - it has been a wonderful flying visit to Brissy and back to Adelaide now - that is so exciting and I’m certain the time will absolutely fly!! Safe travels 😊💙
I'd like a Cherry Ripe Please, my first choice, (can't get 'em here) or Kit Kat is fine too, but can get them here. Love your video's they are great and bring back many memories of my homeland, still get homesick every now and then...? But I can watch your video's and see the fauna and flora and places I've either been to or ones I haven't. Love you guy's, on ward bound, safe and sound travels.
That’s terrible that you can’t get cherry ripe there!! Have you ever tried the ice-cream version of a cherry ripe? Katie had one last week and raved about it.... at least you can still get Kit Kat’s (my personal favourite) thanks so much for your support and encouragement 👍😊
@@TheFeelGoodFamily No haven't seen the icream version here either, I'm having Cherryripe withdrawals, lol. Is there a recipe for Cherryripe Slice maybe I could make...? Thanks
Amazing how you can get a 465 kg upgrade with no work done to chassis or brakes .Didn't know you could get a upgrade unless it was new suspension when car is new
Hello mate how do you fine the ARB upgrade did you go 3360 or 3500 as I getting a new Isuzu space cab and a upgrade from ARB. And thanks for you videos great to see people out there enjoying the country.
Wow u guys really did took the long way to WA. I love the caravan park with hugh playground. I think my girls will love it but unfortunately we won't be heading that way.
Hi Tom, thank you - we had a suspension upgrade done at MILDURA 4x4 ARB - this is on a previous episode ‘Free Camping NSW + Murray River RV Off Grid Camping’ if you want to check that out for more detail. All the best and safe travels 👍
Hi, I jumped from the Episode 1 to this episode and can see a lot of upgrades that I am a little confused as why they were not already done ?? New Caravan ? Long Range Tank? 2" Lift? GVM Upgrade? two Way Radio - Assuming with a couple of small handsets? and a few others to come ?
Hi Paul - when you had your suspension upgraded, why didn't you have the compliance plates done at the same time? When you went into Qld Transport, did they look at the new compliance plate as well as your paperwork?
Hi John, the only reason why we had to do the GVM/plate in Adelaide is because that is where we were headed and where the only registered signatory was that could sign off on a QLD registered vehicle - Tonkin Engineering. we then had a speaking engagement at the caravan show in QLD (van/vehicle stayed in Adelaide and we flew in). Qld transport did not (in our instance) need to sight the vehicle/plate just the paper work from the registered engineer. hope that helps? cheers, Paul AND, the guys that did the suspension upgrade helped me to save some good amount of $$$$ by going direct to the engineer and not get the plates through them directly - amazing it would have been same engineer coming up to Mildura from Adelaide but would have cost me a lot more in the end.
Another great video.The ute looks great ! Can you please tell me what app you guys use besides WikkiCamps? I coudnt hang around on Sunday to meet you guys at the Caravan show Brisbane (although i built up the courage to say hi this time)..Safe travells.Im heading off for a 3 month trip throughout Queensland and have been going over your trips for inspiration
All ways enjoy your vids. Great music, good banter Mum an dad. The facial expressions and lastly, why is that man time and female time always different? I think men are from Mars women from Venus. Would make a good book. Lol
Enjoyable episode 👏🏻👏🏻 Paul just wondering did the GVM upgrade improve the GCM of the hilux as well ? This seems the biggest problem with towing bigger vans Oh so close to the big 10k hopefully by next week . Safe travels
Hi Stewart, my understanding is that the GCM should not change (post rego) HOWEVER, Qld transport did actually upgrade that as well when I went in with the papers .... 👍👍
@@TheFeelGoodFamily Hey Guys my understanding is that there is only one brand available with GVM/GCM upgrade for a Hilux being Lovells? ARB have not been able to get GCM increases. Would be interesting to know your weights? GVM/ATM/TBM and axle weights for the van and Hilux. Cheers
Hey guys love watching your videos, we have ordered a caravan but it won't be ready till next year, will be towing 3 tonne, wiill the hilux suffice? Only the 2 of us, many thanks
Hi Russell, we included the detail for the suspension in a recent episode ‘Free Camping NSW + Murray River RV Off Grid Camping’ if you want to check that out. Basically it cost $2600 for the kit installed at ARB Mildura 4x4
I really love to watch your VDO. I'm from Thailand.
Hi guys , thanks so much Renmark who knew my list grows. Katie, the oils are working a treat …
Hi Daryl, fantastic news and yes Renmark is a beautiful riverside place to relax! We will try to spend a week next time 😊💙
Adelaide is an excellent place to relax, lots of fruits & vegetables & lovely places around 👍
We just love it in SA!!

Hilux looks good with the canopy.
Cheers Lyn, we love it too 💙
Hi all, so good lovely spots, tanks batteries and canopy will be so beneficial in the future, we also install false floor and slide out drawers in the tray as it doubles the amount of useable space. Take care cheers catch up next week.

Hi Katie, Paul and Jasper.
Great video again, with your gvm upgrade what has to be done to the vehicle.

Hi Phil, no worries and we just appreciate all your encouragement and support! We also use (and love) Full Range Camping app 👍😊
All ways enjoy your vids. Great music, good banter Mum an dad. The facial expressions and lastly, why is that man time and female time always different? I think men are from Mars women from Venus. Would make a good book. Lol
Haha so true 👍😊
Love your outdoor lights around the van. Where did you purchase them?
Bunnings 😊👍
Enjoyable episode 👏🏻👏🏻

Great video guys! Which GVM upgrade did you end up going with from ARB? (3145KG OR 3450KG)
Cheers Graeme, 3465 👍
Love the basket in the middle... Where did you get it ?
Byron Bay shop in the industrial estate area - ‘Inside Africa’ wholesale store 👍
What sort of cost was the GVM upgrade certification ?
Hey guys love watching your videos, we have ordered a caravan but it won't be ready till next year, will be towing 3 tonne, wiill the hilux suffice? Only the 2 of us, many thanks
How long does a caravan take to be ready?
Look at a GVM upgrade/suspension upgrade 👍
if you need a gvm upgrade you have the wrong tow rig
Yes indeed
What lift kit have you and how many $$$ please ??
Hi Russell, we included the detail for the suspension in a recent episode ‘Free Camping NSW + Murray River RV Off Grid Camping’ if you want to check that out. Basically it cost $2600 for the kit installed at ARB Mildura 4x4
