As an "oldie" who only started the camper trailer and now caravan travels three and a half years ago (after I turned 75) I enjoy your down-to-earth videos. I no longer follow several other YT travel videos because I am sick of the click-bait thumbnails and the incessant promotions of products. I'm not interested in wearing their apparel and I don't trust most of their promos of products. Keep it real guys like you are.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thanks buddy! We really appreciate your support, we do feel the same too we have stopped following a fair few we used to enjoy too. We have our favourites and stick with them now. Enjoy your travels!

[@houseboatheavenrenmark.478]

We enjoy watching your videos and adventures. Don't change what your doing to please others. Enjoy your lifestyle and keep making loving memories with your family.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Cheers guys! We are on the same wavelength. Thanks for watching, appreciate the support!

[@smurfzilla5756]

Stay true to who you guys are. I would rather watch your channel rather than some channels who put their significant other up wearing next to nothing and all the click bait words they use. Please stay family friendly. We love watching you guys your more down to earth which is a rare thing nowadays. Keep it up.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thanks! So glad you enjoy what we make, thanks for following along and supporting us!

[@kiaoraable]

I’m glad you are both natural and don’t dramatise your videos with a big negative opening just to get people to click, I keep watching your videos because you are real. To have no drama in one’s life is awesome, why pretend. Perhaps a positive wow opening might work if that’s what needed. Crazy Eh! Cheers Judy😊

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha thanks Judy! Yeh i thought a vid a few weeks ago would do that. Thought the opening was engaging enough to keep people engaged but its getting them to click first place that is the trick apparently. It is what it is, we have a great following that we are proud of, and your right a drama free life is pretty amazing! Thanks for watching and always appreciate your support

No drama needed guys. Love your videos and getting great tips ok caravanning life. ❤

Thank you! So glad you enjoy them!

[@alyg71]

I love watching your channel and look forward to your new video. I enjoy the real life content and the fact that you don’t hide how tough it can be on the road. I really enjoy the practical stuff such as what you’re cooking, places you have visited and what the camp grounds are like that you stay in. All of this gives me inspiration as we start our caravanning adventures. Maybe a little reminder to everyone to like and subscribe and leave you a comment I know I sometimes forget.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Your videos are genuine and show things as they are at the time. The only way you are going to increase your view numbers is to make your videos more dramatic and unrealistic which would spoil them. For those of us who do not want to watch a sales program showing unrealistic drama, we will continue to watch you each week as we currently do. I am sure Liam and Heath will look back at your videos in 30 to 40 years to come and appreciate them better for genuine way that they were filmed today. Keep up the great work and enjoy what you are doing.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

100% we believe the same, i look back at our channel with fondness, its never been my job its a hobby and i love doing it. Liam already loves looking back on it and im sure Heathy will too. We are capturing his earliest days in a way we will love to watch again in future. Thanks for the support guys. We really appreciate it

[@jeanettebrook4631]

I’ve just found your vlog and it’s bringing back lovely memories of when we were vanning. I really love watching all the different places we didn’t get to experience. Keep going and enjoy every minute. I’m watching from now on 💕

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thank you and welcome to our channel, i hope you continue to enjoy the videos. Have a greag weekend

[@colinreeve1565]

Hi Mark, Clem, Liam and Heath, as everyone is saying, please don’t change who you are or your videos. We love watching your honest and natural KZbin videos. I like many others and getting very sick and tired of this Click Bait stage all the others are putting up just to get attention, yours are the true type of videos everyone wants to watch which are natural and what happens in a normal day of life Take care and keep enjoying your travels and lifestyle, it’s one that many of us could only dream of doing Colin and Chris

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Aww thanks guys, always appreciate your support! We like these types of videos which is ehy we made ours in this way. Won’t be changing, i want to look back and enjoy them myself!

[@julessaundersonco6790]

Don’t get disheartened. I’ve been watching I think possibly since you began… we got our New Age around the same time. I don’t sleep because of my disability so I tend to watch your episodes around 3am on Saturday mornings (tough start in house so just getting to it now!). Hang in there. We are about to start sharing our videos and the road to my forced medical retirement, raising a teen, travels, buying a property and building our forever home. Some weeks we expect our world will be quite boring, and has been really lovely watching Liam grow up.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Aww thank you! Make sure yoh let us know what your channel is so we csn follow along also!

[@mj2745]

I love how chill you two are but you made me laugh at the beginning...you've been childed and the random hair growth. Your boys are lovely. Liam is developing a great personality. Everything seems to be a big joke to Heath, but that's probably not so funny at 3am. DW about the view numbers. People who want to know what it's like to travel with little ones will find you. You are REAL and that counts for a lot! You always tell it how it is and that is valuable. Keep doing it your way.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha thank you! The van being childed has only grown exponentially as Heath is becoming mobile now! Absolutely trashed in minutes 😅 We are very proud of our boys, Liam is going to be a great role model for Hesthy boy, thanks for watching and the support

I love your videos and the content is very helpful, informative and realistic. Please don't change anything. I understand your concern but honestly, I very strongly dislike the drama that some people have and most of it is generated for their videos. Real drama is unfortunate but happens but why create it unnecessarily? Keep up the great work. Your family and adventures are great and seeing the two boys growing and developing is truly heartwarming and interesting. Stay safe and healthy and enjoy your travels.❤

[@takingwandaoutyonda]

I’m so sorry you don’t get the views, you are my favourite to watch but maybe that’s because of my age group 🤷‍♀️ I stop watching a lot of KZbin creators once they make it obvious that they are going overboard just to get the views, or become onsellers for brands. I love authenticity, and that’s you guys to a T! Same goes for Alex and Erin at Now or Never and Grant and Bianca from Livin’ Like Kings! Authentic! Keep up the great work ❤

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

We love Alex, Erin, Grant and Bianca too, such great content. We have an amazing following and our regulars like yourself are incredible. Its just funny how a really great vid can not do well but a poor vid filled with drama will go much further. Can see why so many go down that path. Always appreciate your support ant thabk you for watching

[@shauncooper9942]

We really enjoy all your yt offerings and have gradually stopped watching the other types of people who name their video with outrageously misleading false clickbait as you mentioned. Please continue your videos. Quality content is not too common, so thanks for your brilliant honest efforts!

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Cheers guys! Appreciate the support!

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Feel you guys. Some of the videos we are the most proud of have some of the lowest views, good retention just low views. We are much much smaller and newer than you guys but we figure if we change to a different type of content to get the views we will burn out as its not what we enjoy. Keep doing what you do as there seems to be a swing happening where people are searching for authentic creators like you.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh thats 100% im not interested in making something i myself don’t enjoy. But your right it is disheartening when something your really proud of goes no where but something goes wrong and you get thiusands and thiusands more views.

We feel the same! Thanks for watching!

[@Journey_and_Destination]

I think you just have to accept that being normal is just not of interest to some people but please don’t change. We would miss you dearly if you stop doing what you do. A tip for making money a bit more easily … instead of making 1 x 30 minute episode each week, make 2 x 20 minute episodes and spread them over a fortnight. You can make them both in the one week but post them over two weeks and so every second week you don’t have to do anything. It will be less effort but you’ll get the same people viewing both and so probably make just as much money with less effort. One little thing that I would suggest is that if you can find a way to better block out background noise when you are talking in your car then it will be easier to hear you. We watch you because you are real, you are honest, we can relate to you, you have two young boys just like us (ours are 7 and 2 years old), you go to lovely scenic locations that are not constantly in the outback and you go to places that we would enjoy going to ourselves. I can understand that you would like to have more viewers so as to be making more money for all the work that goes into making each episode. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are only interested in a bit of drama. For example, I see that your recent episode called “Not going anywhere” has had 22,000 views and it was great that the title was appropriate, We are very much put off by people exaggerating with titles that sound dramatic but when you watch the episode the issue was very minor. KZbinrs who are doing that are not real and we quickly lose interest. We have switched off from channels that spend so much of their time in Western Australia and in the outback. We are tired of watching people such as Elnick Adventures who drive their car through ludicrously stupid places and try to convince us that camping on a patch of dirt in the middle of nowhere is fun and going 3-4 days without a shower is fun (really? I don’t think so). And I immediately change channels whenever someone goes to the Ningaloo coastline because I am over it, I have seen it too many times. Just my thoughts.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

hey, thanks for the feedback. yeh we have always had an issue with background noise in the car, i think we need to look into a different microphone. we have gone down that path of the 20 minute episodes, bumping them up to 30 is only a recent change but it has been a positive change so far, our retention levels have increased. I really don't mind the work that goes into them, i treat it as my hobby but i do find it disheartening when as you say 22k people watch us have a car issue but a video im really proud of (say the boating day one recently) doesn't get any attention, starts to feel like people only want to watch us suffer which we know isn't the case, we have an amazing following of regulars but just seems wrong. It is what it is we won't be changing what we do for anyone else. in essence this is capturing our life the way we want to look back on it one day and be proud of. Thanks for following along and taking the time to provide some feedback for us.

[@Ducksouttheredoinit]

I can’t understand what the issue is with your views but we think your content is just what we like. You are correct in referring to the drama and click-bait rubbish attracts the viewers but, we, and others are over the false pretentious crap that is all over the tube now. We have unsubscribed from several of those which we have watched, from the start, some of them and just don’t follow anymore. Sad and disappointing really 😢 Keep doing what you are doing and maybe encourage more add watching? That will help the algorithm. But I’m sure you are all over it. It would be a sad day indeed if you disappeared 😔 Love the "Liam treaty 😅 We passed Crystal Creek and thought it was not for caravans so didn’t bother 😬 Will make an effort next time. Thanks for all your hard work. 🫶🏻🍻👌🏼💯🤗😉🦆

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh it is sad when the good ones go down that road. I think what helps the algorithm the most is the Click through rate. How many see the video vs how mang click on it. But it really doesn’t bother us too much, we live making them and our audience will find us if they look hard enough. We always love your support, hope your own travels are going well, we might see you on the road later in the year
