👍 ! !! 🧡

Great video. Think about getting your eyes lazered. It was one of the best things i did and made my hunting so much more enjoyable, especially as I struggled with contacts, dirty fingers etc. Mates used to leave me behind still trying to put in contacts and glasses were terrible to wear in the rain.

Well done great to be able take a step back and just take things one step at a time! Nice trout too!

Kia Ora bro, awesome content!!!! Good luck on your journeys. Thanks for sharing. Mauri Ora

I did the big lap over 2 years in Aussie in a big off road 23ft van. Only had 2 300watt solars and could go weeks off grid. Full toilet or water was usually the main reason to go to civilisation. I guess more sun there. Couldn’t run the aircon off grid but met some who could.

what batteries are you running AGM or lithium. I run lithium because u can run them to 25%. I think AGM can should be run to no less than 50%. shame about the deer..............thats hunting 4u. good set u have......thanks for the video

Nice setup - nothing self sufficient about it though😂

How good..Brilliant mate..if ya make you way to the coast..I'll take you on a few missions..northern end

900w of solar and you need a generator? What kind of batteries and capacity do you have?

I think i saw you yesterday out the back of Rolleston, i was in the black pajero with the rooftop tent, loving the videos mate! Youre doing a bloody good job of it, Definitely keen to see what the battery setup on the caravan is and if it's agm or lithium and how many amp hours of storage you've got, Also bloody keen to see a walk round of the 200 series aswell, that thing looks rad!

hey bro interesting change good filming well thought out edit nice work,ill be tuning in to your journey. are you doing this solo

Bloody good low key keeping it real ,,cheers

Do you have your dog with you? Enjoyed this episode. Thanks.

Sweet vid definitely living the dream 👌

New subscriber here Rhys! Keep it up man, just do you and post it, we all watch it man! Loving it 🙌🏽

Stumbled upon your channel and loving the video! New subscriber from the North Island, NZ

Another great vid mate, living the dream! Looking forward to watching this adventure in the weeks and months to come

Hi Rhys - just stumbled across this video and absolutely loved it! Lewis Pass is one of my favourite places for getting away from kids and suburbia! You've got another subscriber 👍

It's awesome what you are doing, thanks for sharing Rhys

Thanks also for sharing the personal stuff, life is for now 😀

Great video Rhys, yes turn your inverter off at night,generator will be a huge help -well worth the spend 😊

Hi Rhys, If you’re running a 3 way fridge and using battery power to run it you will drain your batteries quickly, only run a 3 way fridge on battery if you have a way of connecting it to the Toyota when it’s running. Assuming you have a 3 way fridge and not a compressor fridge.

nice video mate, epic rainbow out of the canals. It's def a nice opportunity to be able to pick up some work you can do from the caravan, means the $$$ can still keep coming in. For us it's been a game changer having the wife work from the caravan, otherwise it's meant the whole family stops while i do some work. nice to have the flexibility though which is what we've found, say yes to what works for us.

Good stuff mate 👌keep the advetures rolling 🤙

Another great video. Congrats on catching the rainbow trout you must have been chuffed. I’ve only been on the road for 6 weeks due to a marriage split up and love the life style, so lay back and no pressure. Can’t believe you run out of power with all that solar, I have 2x100ah batteries and 400w of solar and haven’t had any issues to date. Maybe look at more battery storage. Hope you got it sorted in Ch Ch.

Poor deer😢😢😢😢😢

Good stuff looking forward to the next one cheers for sharing it

Hi Rhys,thanks for sharing, Can relate to the busy lifestyler life.feed this shift that,sell this,buy that.etc Hope it goes well for you

This is exactly what I needed to come home and watch after teaching 5year olds

you’re so lucky mate, im planning the exact same thing🤞 all the best with your travels🍻

Epic. Your doing it , instead of waiting till retirement. We did it as a retirement adventure before covid. Best time in our lives 2 years on the road. You missed the best spot in the Sounds. It's only mentioned off line. You have an incredible journey ahead of you. We live down here now and feel so fortunate

just picked up on this ,will follow with interest ,thats for sure, my grandson just picked up a caravan very similar to yours here in perth

Good to see a new one, hope all is well.

Most enjoyable Rhys...may your journey unfold with us in your own time.....look forward to the next one...Peace on Earth.

Good to see a younger fella doing this. We are a little older and live in our van as well. Our channel does not get the hits yours has, not that that is important, and there are many others who also have NZ channels as well. All are interesting in there own way. You will never regret the nomadic life I am sure; Regards Pelican Crusaders

Great video of you adventure on the road. I’ve just started out traveling in the South Island, fourth week and loving it so far, wish I’d done it years ago. I’ve set up a submersible pump as you have to top up my onboard tank and bought a rollaway grey water for when my grey tank is full, saves moving on when I’m not ready to. A generator will be good in the winter months, I have also wired the car/van to charge the batteries when traveling or if parked up and batteries go flat, which could save you buying a generator, I have both options. I have subscribe and will watch with interest.

good work fella, we are chasing the same dream. The view at 3.15 could be Shetland, the outer island in Scotland. sub in for the ride !!!!!!

Just found your channel... we have a motorhome and are not offgrid to the extent you are but it's still fantastic to see where others go on the road. I'm glad your power situation is sorted, you've got one amazing caravan there. Two suggestions: Get a McKeowns fuel card via NZMCA. Cheapest diesel around. Also get a DOC pass (10% discount via NZMCA). It would cost you $175 for a full year of stays at DOC sites. Many are totally off grid and great value.

Great to see ya got ya Red Bands

The algorithm is definitely sharing your video! I'll be watching with interest. I've bought a tiny vintage caravan so hoping to do some small trips! You need to show us a map and point to where you are! I haven't checked out if you've done other videos yet. I need to see inside your caravan!! 😂

No worries with power for that coffee machine i see .. epic

Thank you. Good video. Would also like stats regarding petrol use for caravan, how many blankets do you need for overnight comfort. Keep me signed up too. Looking forward to viewing your journey.

Not vanlife. (Cara)-vanlife 😅

thank you for the great content

Hope you are keeping up with the power requirements. It's handy being able to pump water in from a variety of sources. Great video, cheers for sharing your adventures.

Hey man, just found the content, liking it. Re the power situation, are you short capacity in battery or is the current charging system underrated? Hearing you on a genny, short term supply, solved. But the larger questions is the availability, is there enough stored or is the replenishing system the issue.

Awesome videos mate. New subscribers and looking forward to more videos cheers
