Awww Pablo and his spoon! Ours love chewing as well, we give them a thing called a ‘tasty bone’. They are flavoured and they LOVE them. They last for months! ❤ 🦴 🐶

Hi I like the aspect of your Van being able to stealth camp with all the comforts of home! Does the A/T tyres give you a lot more traction on loose surfaces ?

In this episode, things take a turn as I head back to Brisbane to spend Christmas with my family, leaving Tim to navigate vanlife solo with Pablo. I thought he'd enjoy the peace and quiet, but honestly, I think he might’ve preferred me out of the way! Tim had a few things to keep him busy, but in the end, I think he missed me more than he expected. 😆 We'd love to hear from you!

Thank you Tracie 🤩🙏🚐they’re meant to generate 400w each in ideal conditions 🤩but they’re never angled directly at the sun and rarely produce over 400w on a good day but they’re never angled do keep the battery well charged most days , it’s only when the weather is bad for lengthy periods ( more than a week) that we start to struggle 😳hope this helps 😊

@SandVan Happy New Year. I've loved following you over the last year and I'm really enjoying the big lap. Hope you are both well. We have snow on the ground and -4c here in Blighty. Peak District got about 6in of snow. Best place to be is down under. We are seriously thinking of buying an Elddis 2 berth this year.

Join us as we hop aboard the historic West Coast Wilderness Railway in Queenstown, Tasmania! This iconic train once carried copper from the mines and was abandoned for years before being beautifully restored. It’s now one of the top attractions in Tasmania’s west coast. In this video, we share our experience riding the railway, exploring stunning rainforests, dramatic gorges, and the rich history behind it all. But there’s one thing we’re left wondering-should we have upgraded our tickets? Watch to find out what we chose, what we loved about the journey, and what we’d do differently next time! We'd love to hear from you! Share your thoughts, ask questions, or tell us about your own Big Lap adventures in the comments below 🚐🤩

A Happy New Year Sandy, Tim, and Pablo. Wish you a prosperous year 2025! In spite of the weather, what the gorgeous experience you share with us! I had been on a Locomotive Xmas train here in US, but not quite fancy as you rode. The light fixture provides not too bright, not so dark, but just right. Wine! something grab from a charming shop. haha I could not figure out how to operate single engine train at first until your explain step by step. hahah Well done! Tell me about rain. K7S and I were in one of the tropical rain forest in Costa Rica..of course rain haha. We finally came home after months of evacuation from the natural disaster/flooding. I slept like a baby in my own bed. My elder in-laws headed back home. I have my own space and time....try to catch up...
