Thank goodness. The velcro strap is our answer. Thank you so much

Great stuff. Thanks. Banana cake !

You're terrible Muriel 🤣 🤣

Awesome motor loader mate would love to see how your whole setup works looking at setting mine up now

This gadget is very impressive but not as impressive as you picking up that 15 yammy and carrying it to the truck. Good on ya mate!

Interesting place to explore, great video. I love watching episodes like this, it helps me narrow down areas to visit. Keep them coming! If I may make a suggestion, it would be helpful to provide some back ground to trip, for example, you said it was cold. It would be good to know, what temperature, what time of the year. This is handy to know when your audience is not familiar with the area. Anyway, great vid, thanks again!

This comment comes long after your travels, however, thanks for your informative recount of travel adventures in such a nice part of our land. Nice videoing Dougie. I’m also sure everyone played their parts in keeping the happy vibes flowing. To top it all off, Music in the Mulga looks like a fun festival to visit. Your trip has inspired me! 🙏👍

Super simple and works well. Thanks for the idea.

The problem is that box awnings are for shade only. Not for rain or wind conditions. Of all the designs, Fiamma is probably the better, but they are really not fit for purpose if your purpose is an all-weather awning. All you need is an AFK and tie down straps. You dont need extra poles and holes. Also Peggy Peg make a foot support which the foot at the bottom of the poles fit into. No need for modification.

never use ratchet straps they apply too much force, use only cam buckle or double D ring straps, much safer and many people don't know how to use ratchet straps properly anyway. also if you put a twist in the straps it will stop that annoying buzzing sound when the wind picks up, you know the one that sound like crocodile Dundee making a telephone call.

Hi that is exactly what I have set up same van and all how ever 1 end works perfectly but the other doesn't when u slide the grass hopper on to the plastic lip there's not enough material from awning to clamp down. It's like it's to far from edge of awning so when you close the clamps on AFK it doesn't hold any suggestions would be very appreciated been away 4 times and can't get that end to clamp ??? Thanks

thank you for explaining it in simple terms and making it look so easy!

That’s my van, almost!

Hooray finally a straight talker with great results

Hello. I'm about to buy a 4 stroke Mercury 9.9hp. I always understood that for transport an outboard should be laid on its appropriate side. Is it all right to transport a motor like this then?

Beautiful place

This video brings back fond memories of my time on those routes. First went to these ranges in 1973 & fell in love with them & went back many times .

Hey Douggie! Good to see you got back on the road & found your way to "Gods Country"! Don't forget Yorke Peninsula has some beautiful places to film. Love the videos, good job! Safe travels! 😊

Thank you Doug, really enjoyed the video.

Thanks for showing your adventures, fantastic Can you tell me what tyre pressure monitor you use thanks

Some great practical tips and tricks. Thanks for making this video!

Wow that is beautiful. I disagree with one comment though about doing it in a normal car. If the normal car is kept serviced and driven well I cant see why not. If my parents could drive an old hillman with a caravan up from Victoria to Queensland through the glasshouse mountains with 2 kids in tow as well me being one of them I dont see why its impossible for a normal car. Just my 2 bob worth. Fantastic trip thank you for sharing and stay safe

Great video mate. Well done. (I was sitting next to you at the Bash watching you film and chatting to you).

Interesting video. Thanks

I remember the townsite of Hawker had a council impouing yard with an early 60s Chrysler Royal in it but this was way back. One trip after escorting a load to Leigh Creek, I came across the unusual sight of a fox and a huge Wedgie sharing a road kill kangaroo. The next day and about 1000 further on, I happened to pass another Wedgie dragging a road kill fox off the road. Nature is strange. Great videos you have here that I have just discovered.

Great video Doug well captured especially enjoyed reliving the 4WD track. My wife and I caught up with you out there filming we were in the Nissan Patrol, looking forward to more videos and adventures.

Thankyou for a fantastic video, Clermont Q.L.D

Nice, I really enjoyed that

Good, really good video, I like it and even can recommend to promote it with google ads OR g e t 4 v i e w s

Just found your excellent video. We're heading out to the Bash in a couple of weeks. Love listening to the music. Do you have to have permission to record them?

great journey, hope you cut the mechanic another on tho. just thinking about this for this year, but, sold out.......

The inside of the bottom door vent has plastic on it , did you cover the vent or can you buy vent covers?

Great handy tips mate. Good luck with your travels 👍

Great setup! Both 79 & Van - Have to be one of the most practical and well thought out combinations I've seen - safe travels guys

Like the auto in the 79. What box is it ? How much $ ? Who did conversion ?

Awesome 👏

I literally grabbed all my Weber accessories (still in their original packaging and in a Woolies plastic bag) today and wondered what I could do with them. Thanks for your great tips - SERENDIPITY! PS.... we all LOVE videos like this, so keep 'em coming. Cheers, dd

Great video. We've got our tickets for 2023 Where did you leave the caravan whilst going out to peopel corner?

Great video 👍
