Just discovered this channel - love the chats refreshing change of pace from the other channels! I suppose because the revenue purely from YT might not be enough, partnering with sponsors and such prompts having to go even bigger to continue attracting brand interest (maybe?) - keep it up guys 🤙

what is your preferred inverter

Still going between the two myself gents. What’s the new brand that was coming out?

Great review mate! Love your honesty about not recommending it due to it breaking👍 can’t recommend it if it’s broken haha

Good Video and thanks for your Honest review update.

Mate I have had my Dometic 110l upright for 4 years, been on some horrendous roads, the cape in the back of a 79, so rough as guts, plus I live in Cairns so it is baking in the canopy everyday. Has not missed a beat, you must treat your gear rough, mine looks nothing like yours, no rust, no tape peeling off, the tape on the back is where the spray the insulation foam in. I highly recommend Dometic, have mates who have Bushmans and complain about theirs not getting cold enough. I also own a CFX 75L old school twin compartment, that has never missed a beat either. So if you get another brand and that shits itself what you going to do then? Go get a new one on warranty and if that one has the same issue then fair enough. If mine shits itself now I will still buy a new Dometic. Did I see in one of your episodes you had your fridge strapped to your back seat, no wonder its broken

Did Brad and Hayley miss out on the Prado deal? 😂 Hence the blackout on their car stickers!!! Feel free to use 👍

Thanks for the honest review.

I had a bushmans stand up fridge. Couldnt handle the temps up here in the gulf and cape york. Would only get down to 6-8 degrees during the day then run perfect at night time. Went back to engel chest fridge

I love your channel. I own a CRX 115 which has died but I’m looking at getting a NRX 115 still. I own a campervan, & it has to slot into the same spot as the old one. There are bad eggs in every carton as my dad always said lol

Very interesting review. I’ve had 2 dometic and had to take it to the shop for repairs some time ago. Mind you they are the hinge lid models. I have an Engel in the back of my Toyota and it works fine. What’s happened to workmanship these days??

So I can no longer watch this show?

Try a bushman fridge,very happy with their product and back up service,both as an owner of one and a retailer selling them.

Honest review, 👏👏 Hey Dylan, where is or what is the name of your Hip Camp? Thanks

P.S when we started our OZLAPN KZbin channel 6 years ago we put an Aldi 40 ltr Stirling fridge in the back of our Cruiser (yes still remember lining up at 8:30am). It hasn't missed a beat. Any ideas how I can convince Jo to upgrade?? lol

As always a great honest review, shout out to Ash (who we miss seeing) recon Ash as a Director camera person, not to mention quality control, OH&S supervisor. Enabled the best out come for this review. Keep up the good work, possible swap roles ??? We are sure Ash has something camping to review. Cheers guys keep being honest, having fun Graham and Jo @OZLAPN

It's a common problem with all Dometic fridges...... thermistors pack it in. They should offer everyone free replacements because it's a known fault!

Try an australian made norcoast fridge

My dometic fridge did the same thing, started freezing everything. I had to get a new thermostat put in

Watch my latest review before buying: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWSre5toYruGpNk&pp=ygUNb2ZmIHRyYWNrIDR4NA%3D%3D

We are going to suggest a Bushmans fridge as well.

Have a look at a Bushman 35-52Ltr portable fridge.

Commenting for the algorithm for you. I have no idea about fridges 😆but I love your honesty Dylan 🙏

Matt did a budget second hand hilux build which I have watched 3 times!

Ronnie Dahl must have a new job with Car Expert, seems he is just reviewing any 4x4 to hit the market, wont be long before he is in a BYD. The worst choice he made was selling the 79, that's what he built his channel on and his loyal fan base, why now is he just reviewing cars. Lil and Jake have become painful to watch, seriously if he does not put mud terrain tyres on that 250 and then complains he gets bogged it will just prove they are nothing but amateurs and are chasing click bait. On another note, I was in Melbourne from Cairns so took the opportunity to check out some hybrid vans, stopped in at Urban, the sales person kept banging on about Sarah and Keelan, and the sales person said I should watch their reviews so know what the van is capable of. They even have a SKT pack van model which is more than $4K difference to non SKT pack, the company is relying on a youtuber to get sales on an overpriced van and not their own R and D, the whole experience was rather pathetic. Oh and yes, definitely something going on with the 250's and the channels who all got one on the same day, if you had a choice and dropping all of your 'own' money into a new vehicle, who buys white!!

Well, I'm a 65yo lady, non-electrician non-tradesman, just a mum that raised 3. I had to learn to think which still isn't easy, as my two brain cells much prefer hiding in darkness. Power stations are very handy, agreed. I have a smaller-mid Bluetti & 200w panels for smaller recharging needs, a day trip. But for power outages I bought an Anker 3800 w 400w solar panels. And then, awaiting its arrival, I learned: Power stations last ONLY 10hrs to 48hrs if big, if being conservative; low amp hrs (like you said), which stress out the tiny bits n bobs that then can't be replaced. Red flags, money lost. When the 3800 arrived, I turned it right around. On my dime. Anker doesn't pay for return shipping, at all. I bought a lightweight Firman 4000/3750 inverter dual fuel (gas/propane) generator and (2) 20lb propane tanks for now. Your battery plan is the long haul ! Just makes sense, even to me. Per my bill, I barely use 3000 to 3500kw. I'd LOVE to be able to use it daily (minor cooking, computer, a light) and save $200 mth in bills, and save the gen'r as more simple redundant backup! Is there a basic schematic somewhere I could hand to an electrician and say, "Do THIS!" ?

Thanks for coming to CFAC this year Lloyd and we look forward to seeing yas next year!

Honestly the whole scene right now is so jaded, the big channels are fighting for relevance and at the moment you need to build a new car every 2 years to stay relevant. At the moment it seems to be a massive pissing contest and who can build the most expensive 4wd. Can’t say I’ll stay around for much longer in that space as it’s pretty depressing.

Great Ep guys, enjoyed the Yarn topics.

leave them bogged

Another great session fellas. Aussie Destinations Unknown have lost it with all their huge vans, American utes and now a large boat. They are not real travellers just you tubers chasing fame, sponsorship and fortunes. Good on them but they lost me ages ago. They don't appeal to the average nomad travelling this great country because i would say 90% of us would have nope hope of affording their rigs. You can use this comment. Cheers.

Keep The Good Work Up It’s Good To Now What Really Goes On About KZbin Most off Us Don’t Now The Nitty Gritty Of It All ( The Camp Man ) And Mr Buckaroonie Great Channels As well

Love em or hate em, in my opinion so I don’t get sued, Trip In A Van to me was and still are the best. They didn’t find the need to beat on their vehicles for views and everybody has just tried to copy them since.

Channels changing approach doesn’t faze me personally. My favourite tv series usually only last 5 years max so no difference. The best thing about KZbin is there is always more people coming up (such as you fellas) to watch. As far as TIAV goes with their kids ages and they’ve done 110 laps of AUS already I think they earned all they’ve got after providing countless hours of entertainment for us.

Omg, you two are legends, I might need help Lloyd, to find The Yarns Cast. How about I buy you a new wooden spoon!

Well done on the latest charity.

23:00 I don't mind Matty, he's independently wealthy (through hard work) and a h00t. I remember the Algorithm popping up one of his very early VLOGs (driving/camping) and they were wild - but I subbed anyway. His best VLOGs are when he gets his mate from the Ord River region, with the Italian name, on a clip (who is a Contractor to Army for survival training). Honestly, I don't mind his evolution to boating and fishing because he's so engaging, and has a dedicated cameraman. He who shall not be named, now fishing and boating, films his own clips and he's not as engaging

9:09 I was under the impression that Premium sees it as automatically watching all the adds?

I should add I know for a fact Lifestyle Pioneers after looking to get rid of their Zone which was a large caravan approached a manufacturer of custom Hybrid Vans ( a 13ft) seeking a freebie, and wanting their supplier sponsors components in it. The manufacturer refused, one stating the van wouldn’t be suitable for their size family,2 that why would they give the a free van when they have paying customers waiting and 3 they didn’t use some of the makes of components that he wanted. After submitting a business plan of how they could improve the manufacturers profile ( not needed) Lifestyle did a 180 and got a Titanium… again just chasing a deal.

Absolutely I smell a rat. Unfortunately Lill and Jakes channel has declined dramatically for me, it’s becoming unwatchable. Can’t believe anything they say these days. Their explanation for the Prado is rubbish. Less power, no storage,only 130k on the Ranger all makes no sense. 100% they got a deal which is all they are about these days. They got $37k off their Titanium, Moan about its weight and size ( but they took the deal). Watch this space for their next caravan change.These KZbinrs need to be way more transparent

What's the go with the "shit caravan" sneeze?.....sounds like a story needs to be told fellas? Happy to use

To be honest I had to unsubscribe from one of the channels you discussed because all they do is talk about getting scratches on their van

Yup "Destination Unknown" it was like watching an add sometimes. I un subscribed. Love the format fellas! Happy to use 👍

In relation to relatability - I have a foot in both camps. I love seeing the new tech and innovations happening in the industry but on the other agree with the element that it is selling something not achievable to most. And only time I find fishing videos enjoyable is when someone get sprayed in squid ink 🤣 otherwise yawn! Happy for you to use comment 😁

Came to this video for the discussion about Channels changing and leaving followers behind. There have been a few that I feel have done this and while they have continued to grow, they have lost me as a follower. 4wd 24/7 was the first. I loved their content back in the 4wd Action days. I loved watching them visit places, explore and just find amazing spots to visit, I was never a big fan of the harder 4wding. Towards the end of the 4wd Action days that was all it became and then it changed to 4wd 24/7 and that killed it for me. I do enjoy the Off Grid stuff when it is shown but that's all. Tyler Thompson, Very similar aspect. When I started watching he had the Navara and went camping with his son a lot. Places that anyone is a pretty stock 4wd could make it to. He went full time, Got the Patrol and then things started to go into the harder 4wd tracks and that style of content again, not my interest so he lost me as a subscriber. Ronny Dahl is the most recent. I used to love his review and discussion videos but also really enjoyed his trip videos. I have not seen a trip video from him in ages, basically since he started on the TV Show and now the content is becoming over edited with the Green Screen all the time and just boring. Much of the same rubbish over & over, as you guys have shown, The new Prado. It's a new car every time I turn around with his content and while his testing is good, I have no interest in buying a new car, especially not a Toyota. I have thought something fishy was going on there for a while, he is either being given the vehicles or a huge discount which I guess is what Sponsorship is about but still not the content I originally subscribed for.

Hi Guys, My husband and I have recently started watching you guys and love what you are doing. My personal pet peave with these influencers is, no hands on the wheel, talking to a go pro or having it held outside the window of the car or the drone being flown and managed by the driver more often than not and not watching the road. Is it really necessary to have this type of behaviour to create content and is it legal? What sort of example is this setting?

How cynical. . . . Three different u tubers with a good subscriber base, 3 different versions of a new car model release. . . . . Its a coincidence whink whink. . . . .great episode. . sorry again . . if the utuber loses the essences of their rise they will die a slow death (unsub explore once he went american and lost his channel essence) Can use Wharton beach WA leaves double island in its wake. . . White squeaky sand, turquoise clear water, 4wd access, dog friendly and good fishing/surfing

Looks awesome legends but linktree link needs to lose the "4x4" off the end for it to work!

Great job Guys! You've nailed a couple of brilliant topics this week. Talking about channels changing their direction, we've recently stopped watching a few of the big channels for that reason; either because they're not travelling in a way that interests us any more, or many seem to be constantly upgrading to bigger rigs. The other topic is the Prado mystery...a couple of family members of ours have Prados on order and were told they would have to wait up to 18 months. Seems like something weird is going on! Happy for you guys to use comment.

Can tell you for a fact that toyota Australia have not provided these youtube channels with the new Prado. As for cutting lines there were a few dealerships that had some with no names on them.
