[@hapninemptynesters]

Thank you for watching and we hope some of the information was helpful.

[@gaylebentley758]

Thanks heaps for the open honesty! It’s the reality of travelling.. Some great tips!

[@hapninemptynesters]

Thanks Gayle we just want to share our travelling experiences as open as we can. Hope the tips were helpful!

[@traceybjorksten4445]

Good tips, we'll keep them in mind when we set off later (not too much later I hope!) this year. I love your videos, I find them more relatable than most. I've especially enjoyed seeing Tassie, I think I've convinced my partner we should do four months or so there after we've explored the west.

[@hapninemptynesters]

Ohh thank you so much for watching. You won’t regret 4 months in Tassie, there is so much to see! Enjoy your travels!

[@greataussieodyssey]

Great episode..thanks for some of those making money ideas 😃😃

[@hapninemptynesters]

Thanks for watching and hopefully some of the tips work for you. I love the surveys!

[@diannecross5226]

Hi, have been enjoying your videos one tip I would suggest is instead of using toilet chemicals install a SOG system, we have and haven’t regretted it. Initial outlay is a bit but in the long run saves using chemicals.

[@hapninemptynesters]

Thanks for watching! We have heard that but I’m not sure if it would work in our shower combo. However it’s worth looking into it. Thanks for the tip.

[@The_GetawayZone]

Hello Fellow Townsvillians, enjoyed your episode thanks. We are heading off around Christmas to begin fulltime travel and I was working out a budget and came to the same conclusion, it's cheaper than living at home. I was doubtful about my workings so it was great that you confirmed that for us 😃 Those bikes sound interesting, how much do they weigh?

[@hapninemptynesters]

HELLO 👋 It’s good to hear we aren’t the only ones thinking this way! Our bikes are amazing but they do weigh 26kg each. We actually bought them at Jayco in Townsville. We will be up in Townsville in May and June if you would like to meet up. Message me on socials.

[@AngusChristensen-ev6dx]

We buy 25ltr drums and bottle off for $2.35 per litre. Bulk buys site !! Put in 5 litre bottles

[@hapninemptynesters]

Great idea, it just might be hard to store in a 13ft van.

[@russellbentley1055]

Tip with the toilet chemicals: ask places like anaconda to price match which is what I do a lot now when I purchase expensive items

[@hapninemptynesters]

That is a great tip! I never thought of that! Thanks heaps!!

[@ThomasReilly-bj3on]

Hi guys if you's are up in north west tas come and stay with us 20 acres we are making a rv park.

[@hapninemptynesters]

Hey Guys, We would have ABSOLUTELY loved to do that! However our KZbin is a fair bit behind and we are now back on the mainland. We are really hoping to head back over some time in 2025, so we will let you know.

[@michelle10261]

I tried a long time ago I still only have 200 subscribe. I don't know how to edit.

[@hapninemptynesters]

I have practiced over the years. KZbin videos have been great to help me learning my editing program and new techniques. Also we only really started growing when we started uploading every week.

[@MellanieBroad]

[@trevdebhippisley9729]

Another good one, we enjoy your content and you are down to earth. We have followed lots of travellers over the last couple of years but they get to fancy buying bigger vans and tugs, good work keep going. We have just returned from 5 week Tassie tour with our van, you info was very helpful. But we need to go back and watch again now we missed that little walkway in the water, need to find out where that is again Thank you Trev & Deb

[@hapninemptynesters]

Ohh thank you so much! There is so much we have missed in Tassie as well. Rocky Cape Boat Ramp in Tassie’s North is where that footage was taken and it has to be one of my favourite hidden spots we found. It’s only a day use area but WOW!

[@stuarth43]

love to go, to Tasmania, ferry is booked up for vans fuel is a killer, I have one of the more fuel-efficient tugs Land Rover sdv6 254 hp 600 nm, and if you travel only 3 full days out of seven you,ll be shelling out more than staying in your house

[@hapninemptynesters]

@@stuarth43 it depends on your travel days. Now we are lucky to do 100km and we probably only travel 3 times a week, if that. In Tassie it has often been only 50km a day. Everything is so close.

[@RoaminWithTheRubes]

This was awesome! Some great tips!

[@hapninemptynesters]

Thanks Guys!

[@Accolades70]

One of you has a very HIGH voice :-) Great tips....

[@hapninemptynesters]

Haha would that be the PE teacher! Glad the tips were useful.

[@hapninemptynesters]

After editing I was sick of my own voice!
