BAD START | BROKEN on the Gibb River Road | Caravanning Australia Couple

[@fleurneumann8430]

Love your honesty regards the damage etc to car and caravan . And really enjoying your Gibb RR videos as we do all your videos .

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much for watching 👍🏽😃

[@annettemay5743]

Our ensuite door has a stopper to the floor and a bungy cord to hold it back. Check around your door at night and get chels to shine a bright torch from the inside around the door down low, we have the same van and we found a gap down there letting dust in. P.S. check your car manual for those torsion bars. not allowed on PX3 Safe travels.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for the tips 👍🏽 we will look into them

[@cynthiakavanagh6972]

This is good advice. We used them until we actually read our car manual and found out they weren’t recommended for our car, and haven’t used them since, and 3 caravans and car combos later, have never missed them.!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

@@cynthiakavanagh6972 yes it’s just all personal preference and we feel like we prefer having them on for highway driving. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way 😃

[@cynthiakavanagh6972]

@@CaravanAdventureAus fair enough. As I said, we were following the instructions from our car manufacturer (VW Amarok, now the same as Ford Ranger). 😊😊

[@CraftyAliConfessions]

Another awesome video guys! Informative as always and great watching your journeys! Xx

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@RPCaravan-Bella]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Just a heads up. I saw that the en-suite door was closed when you went in to check the van. You need to secure the en-suite sliding door as it will slide back and forth and eventually cause damage. Normally there is a stopper at the bottom that you engage with your foot and a latch that also holds it in the open position. Safe travels!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for the tip! Appreciate that 👍🏽

[@diannetroeth-telfer1148]

Love your videos. Thanks for another great show. Love you guys

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thank you so much!

[@adrianskipper-i8o]

Nice video thanks . So glad of the Dog update. Very useful for planning our trip . Awesome scones too.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey we are so glad the info was useful

[@stephenmackay9706]

Juice is having a ball. His siblings would be so jealous that he got you guys!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

We've thought that too! He's a lucky pup! 🐶

[@peterguertler2752]

Love you guy's so down to earth and honest.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thank you so much Peter!

[@roberttaylor6474]

Love the vid. friends completed the Gibb a couple of weeks ago and did a lot of damage to their caravan. Its a trip I hope to do soon. Good luck. Enjoy

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh really that’s not good 🥵🫣

[@markhopkins9925]

Thanks guys ,enjoyed the video , Keep em coming ! 👍👍🍻🍻

[@burbs-to-bush-redbakadventures]

I feel your Pain !, The Gibb has given me its fair share of problems , mainly the drive to Ellenbrae and to Mitchell Falls, Shame about Gibb River Station, I'm curently at Mt Elizabeth, Hope you get your gimbal fixed and look forward to your next Vid. Happy Days !

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! Safe travels along the GRR 👍🏽😃

[@stephenmackay9706]

Thanks!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much mate love the support! 😊🍺👍

[@ThisVagabondLife]

Wonderful capture of the GRR experience. Did exactly the same as you in picking the quiet at first, crazy later camp at Ellenbrae. Gibb River Crossing is wonderful, and you certainly scored the best spot. Ended up spending 4 days there, it's a great vibe! Great to see Juice having the best of times!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Sounds like you guys also had an amazing experience in these areas 👍🏽😃

[@ThisVagabondLife]

@@CaravanAdventureAus Certainly did - 22 days, which is about twice as long as anticipated. Enjoyed it all, now heading south to get into some more gorges in Karijini. Then some coastal down time on the Ningaloo. Look forward to seeing more of your GRR experiences, and where you head to from there.

[@lindaarmiger217]

Hope you can fix the drone! Yeah, as much as I love my doggo, I wouldn't pay $20pernight either. That free camp looks so good.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes i think it’s principle. Especially on an unpowered/no water site 🙄

[@lindonanderson6131]

Great vid watching you from Thailand look forward to next week

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks so much 😃👍🏽

[@chrisflesser2171]

Cream and strawberry jam on scones is nice... but melted butter and Vegemite on warm scones is sooooo good

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 from Bryce haha

[@ClaytonwFirth]

We’ve had the same issue with the dometic freezer door opening on rough roads. Ended up putting a child lock onto it and it hasn’t bounced open since..

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes it seems like a common issue 😔

[@ianlangridge3412]

Love following your adventures. The dust in your van. Have you checked out the pressure fans to pressure your van to stop ALL dust from the van and all cupards around and in it. Those who have them love them

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey! Yes we’ve seen them. They look good 👍🏽 Maybe in the future 💸

[@cynthiakavanagh6972]

Love the GRR (have travelled it twice in the last 6 years) and love to live it all again through others, so thanks for sharing. I have to say though, you haven’t had a bad start; you’ve gotten off lightly and I hope it continues. My poor inlaws were rebuilding drawers by the time we arrived at Drysdale station and cleaning miles of dust out of their van every day we were on the GRR; they were plagued by problems all the way! Chelsea, you having lived until you open the door to an open fridge and sauces/foods all over the inside of the fridge and floor 🤣🤣🤣. Those waterholes at Ellenbrae were a surprise gift, weren’t they? I can’t believe you left the mukmak on the step 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Happy travels 😊😊

[@StephenThornton-l3k]

Nice to see you guys catch up with Nathan and Zoe ❤

[@digimaze]

Great offering guys, living the dream and ticking off one of mine ..lol :) Happy Trails.

Isn’t he just the cutest

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, wow video fantastic so far scones look pretty good it’s crazy gonna charge it $20 for a dog. I have two dogs cost me $40 a night that’s madness. Keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! Yeah it's wild, juice wouldn't eat $20 of food a month 😂 🍺

[@MrJColtrane68]

Great video. We did Ellenbrae last year. We stayed in the other quieter campground. Certainly quieter but a little more barren in terms the ground and landscape. Drysdale now? Hopefully you’re heading up to Mitchell Falls as well

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh yes very true! It did look a bit more barren. You’ll have to wait and see haha

[@debrowe2120]

Another awesome video guys. thanks so much. Quick question - I noticed that you travel with your blinds up/closed. We were advised to always travel with the screens and blinds down/open - apparently less stress on the clips, tracks, fabric, especially off the bitumen. Would love you to ask your audience for their view. thank you

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! Yes we’ve heard that too but trialed both ways and find them all the way closed works for us. It’s also been pretty hot up North and if they are open it’s like a hot fish bowl when we arrive to camp 🥵☀️

[@billmcintosh1242]

Great trip so far, not sure not sure who is having the most fun , you 2 or Juice ? Safe travels see you all next week! Bill Mc

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Juice for sure 🤣🐾 living his best life

[@anngill6481]

Love your content ❤👏👏👏

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much Ann

[@jayfargo4086]

Great episode thanks Guys 😊 I agree $20 is crazy. It drives me crazy when numb nuts don't pick up after their dogs and there's shit everywhere. It gives all us responsible dog owners a bad name. But let's face it their are people that shit everywhere and just leave it. Im glad you have Juice it gives another side to travelling ❤

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! Yes plenty of bad dog owners around for sure

[@jayfargo4086]

@@CaravanAdventureAus sorry that was what I meant that's probably why they are charging such ridiculous price. Big fan of Juice by the way 😊

[@gavindereus3643]

My ex wife used to make lemonade scones everything we went fishing with our friends 😊

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yum! I’ll have to google a recipe 👌🏾

[@effkay3691]

I’ve been camping/travelling around Australia for 25 years. Never ran into any caravaner that wasn’t going in for repairs, just got van back from repairs or something just broke today.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh really. We’ve been very lucky to have minimal issues over our 5 years of travel, thankfully!

[@sarahmac27]

Hey guys! Great vid as always! $20 a night for a dog? Tell him he’s dreamin’. Just wondering if you’d ever consider making a list of places you’ve stayed and recommend? Especially because Juice is with you and not everyone is dog friendly. I hope you got everything fixed! Looking forward to the next adventure vid. ❤

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much for watching! It's something we've thought about might have to look into it for the future 👍 Everything was all sorted 👌🏽

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Check out the camp oven king scones he cooks. Rum and dates scones

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh yum!

[@bryancavanagh9522]

Hi guys love watching or adventure keep up the amazing work. Do you have a discount code for the Tyre monster please thanks.

[@davidriggs5116]

Hi Guys We did part of the Gibb, and blew two tyres. We have a Foed Ranger Wildtrak and had factory tyres still fitted. I was just wondering if you have upgraded your tyres on your Ranger? The goodyear wranglers we got are absolutely rubbish.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey everyone heard that they aren't very good tyres, we upgraded to falken wildpeaks at3 and love them 👍

[@DebraCrudgington]

$20 a night for a dog 😮 what a rip off really just people being greedy. Totally enjoying watching you guys exceptionally good viewing 😊

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yep totally agree hey

[@BordertotheShore]

Hi guys Love your channel but you’ve just created an argument between my partner and I about the pronunciation of Scones! 🇦🇺🤣

Hahaha oh yeah! 🤣 who’s winning so far ?

@@CaravanAdventureAus neither, the war is still raging… now it’s about the word Poem… 🤣

I was told you should clip your bathroom door back ,, prevent it from breaking off,,

Oh really 🫣 we didn’t do that haha

[@lindasmith1268]

Hi there, love watching you guys and Juice. Just wondering why you tow your van with your window blinds up?

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey! We think it works better for us. Especially when it’s 35°+ outside.

[@johnwhite1808]

Great vid thank you guys. Really helpful, useful info. Quick question if I may. Do you run sensors on both car and van tyres, and how long have you had this system? Thanks heaps

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey John! We have inbuilt sensors on the Ranger tyres. We’ve had the TPMS for a couple months now. We especially wanted it for the GRR. A few times we lost signal to the caravan tyres because of the canopy on the car we think 🤔 so we’ve ordered a repeater from the online store ‘A247’ which boosts the signal.

[@shanedunlop765]

What is your fuel economy towing the Caravan with your Ranger as we have a 18 ft 6 Van which weights around 3.3 ton so just seeing to give me an idea

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

On the Gibb with lower pressures about 22l/100 on the bitumen around 19l/100

[@ramjaks666]

Now this is Aussie travelling the more remote the better & that free camp looks awesome 👍🏻

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Absolutely! An unreal area of Aus! It's a wicked free camp 👌🏽

[@davidriggs5116]

Hi Bryce, What size are the tyres? Are they 265/65 R18?

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey mate they are 265/70R17

[@moonmother.]

💕💕💕

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

💜💜

[@callumbailey9574]

How’s it goin mate

[@MM-so9ef]

Really enjoying the GRR content - plenty to think about. Hey Bryce, I noticed on another youtube you were installing a Fastway E2 weight distribution hitch - do you still have it on the current van? Is the E2 what you were talking about in this video about disconnecting the arms because of some noise? I'm looking into getting a set and wondered if/when they should be disconnected and if there are any issues?

[@andrewbrown5563]

Would you have taken your old van on the Gibb given that it has seemed "fairly" smooth so far?

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Nar we wouldn’t. Even tho it was fairly good conditions it was still pretty hectic in terms of random rocky sections, river crossing and deep corrugating which come out of no where. Also the roads to the stations off the GRR are bad and not maintained as often

[@johnclarke8282]

$40. PN, great video. How is the canopy holding up?

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Canopy is amazing!

[@gavindereus3643]

Guys, Juice will be having the time of his little life?😊

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yeah he’s loving the travel life 🙌🏼

you've lost me, butter and vegemite, no cream!

[@selfsufficientus2255]

I like watching you guys as you own a network rv and have honest location reviews and don't flog off products every 5 mins, please don't start going down road of flogging off products.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! We do occasionally talk about products but it’s only a 60 second chat + we remove a KZbin Ad to place our own in 👍🏽 We will always be honest about it though and only talk about products we actually use / think others might find useful while travelling 😃

[@WayneChapman-pg5vv]

2 things we was different to our Supreme brand 1 Your bathroom door is not pined down lock on floor & Latch hook Your blinds are left closed our are same & factory told us to travel with them open Only comments 😊not saying law but food for thought

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! Yes we heard that too but have tried both ways and choose what works for us 👍🏽

[@Philipk65]

That looks like a great stations and Juice is really enjoying herself. Hope the drone is alright. Chelsea is a poet and doesn't know it, "nothing to fear, there's a lovely creek down here". I love scones and great to see you put the jam on first then the cream.

[@galacticnemesis366]

Great information. I know where I’ll be staying. Home Valley sounds great. Not all dog owners are responsible dog owners. Don’t get me wrong I love my dog. However what can be really annoying what I refer to as OPD’s or other peoples dogs. Some of which sometimes destroy the peace and quiet that others may be seeking. Not the dogs fault. There are many reasons for a barking dog but if you are seeking peace and quiet and would prefer not to have your aural personal space invaded by the sound of unwanted dog barking then that’s what you are seeking. Some people don’t believe others should be afforded the peace and quiet they seek and therefore don’t consider the sounds of their dogs to be of any consequence. Which is just pure self entitlement which is why I think it’s great that atleast one of the stations charges so much for dogs that it would make some dog owners not want to stay. 😎👊👍🇦🇺

[@Djmitmit]

Loving the videos guys... my guess is $20 per dog??

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yep your right 🥵

[@richardhill2451]

they may charging for dogs because people leave there reconditioner's for there dog when they go somewhere but even then it should be included in a power site not none power sites

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! It was $20 with no power or water 😱

[@wint44]

I;m with butter & vegemite

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hahaha no 🫣🤣

[@pkdoh6466]

My wife scoffs at me for scones or pikelets with butter, Vegemite and whipped cream.

[@MattSmith-q4b]

30psi. Really should be no more the 25psi.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

It’s all personal preference I think 👍🏽

Drone model please

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

DJI Mavic Air 2. But the camera is broken so we’ve just bought the Mini 4 Pro

[@Accolades70]

Assume drone in Sports mode ?? no obstacle avoidance !!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Haha yeah sports mode 🤣

[@debbieadamson1591]

They've started charging for dogs in NZ too. $5 per night per dog. Absolute rip off.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes it’s crazy hey

[@jasonbarnes5605]

That free camp looks amazing. Wonder how long you can stay there?

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

It was so good! It didn't have a limit but you're pretty remote so depends on food water and battery 👍

Crashed, click bait

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Crashed.... our drone?

[@beasobeaso]

Love you guys, but what's with the click bait title???

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! If we want to keep travelling and working online we need to bring in a bigger audience. We simply play off the most interesting part of the video. We’re open to ideas for an alternative title or thumbnail 🤔👍🏽

[@seanclayton8928]

$25

[@garyd768]

To those complaining about $20 a night for dogs just remember that they don't have to allow dogs on their property but they do & don't forget that they have to cover themselves with public liability insurance which would be higher because of the fact that they allow dogs on site as well ,if you want to travel with dogs ther are negatives that come with it 🤔

[@odettec1]

@garyd768 Easy does it...they were just saying.

[@jayfargo4086]

Exactly

[@suekeeble3116]

That is their thoughts regarding dogs and costs. Your thoughts are different and they are allowed to think differently from you.

[@dondon9829]

Public Liability is the biggest insurance ripp off , you try and make a claim your gonna need plenty of $$$$$$

[@kevincashmore4655]

$20

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yep you’re right!
