As a truck driver I get the “I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’ve stopped and now I’m asleep”. Fantastic video as always.

[@benfarmer94]

Your absolutely correct Harry - 4 inches does get the job done 😂

[@gwendo10]

Thanks Harry for the shakedown - picking up my H16 in 9 days so this video was timely - am giddy with excitement to start the adventure!

[@caltravels9454]

Most 4B's sweet spot is between 90 and 100, post 100kmph the wind resistance goes through the roof, I love drag racing, some cars need up to 1000hp extra alone, just to overcome wind resistance to make the winning passes.

[@johnhegarty5194]

Congrats on the new “caravan “ hope it brings you years of memories. 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@KellyLee-vc1bj]

What a great video Harry!! And thank you for the chat at Rose Hill caravan and camping show!! 'Isolate'

[@randomuser4310]

making me jealous! how bloody awesome is that van! congrats on 100k also, you deserve it all!

[@NickSaravanos]

Was great to say hello to you at the show. NSW also has the 100km/h tow limit. With a LC200 over 100 becomes way to expensive when towing a full height but just 2.5T van. Now you’ve got a van you’ll discover the new found patience you now have to sit behind a B double and save those precious L/100km.

[@holgermuller2987]

Mhhh…. Poptop caravan vs. full size caravan single axle 2.5 tons loaded towing with my LC200. Staying all time on the highway limits 100 and 110 and 120km/h on a 6000 km trip lats 3 month gave me an average 18.8ltr. Per 100km. Staying behind a double B is not very much an option. But that is my choice.. and yes, No driving at nite… Cheers

[@christopherblake7354]

Great to see the Cub in action, it's high on our list. Love to ISOLATE ourselves in one at that camp-site in the Blue Mountains.

[@steviethompson3302]

Thank you for doing what you are doing I have learnt so much off you from cooking on fire to camping with kids and everything in between please keep making content it is because of you I love watching creator's on utube ❤

[@dad4x4adventures8]

At least the CUB interior goes well with beer!!! Glad you could isolate the mess.

[@sioakim4929]

Great show. I've been watching and enjoying your show for a long time. Your genuine excitement is refressing. Thank you for your efforts! "Isolate".

[@1981moke1]

In New South Wales, if your rig (vehicle and caravan) weigh up to 4.5t combined, it’s the prevailing speed limit - up to 110km/h, where applicable. If the rig weighs more than 4.5t, the limit is 100km/h.

[@frankchristensen5778]

Hi Harry, that airstrip seemed to be very "ISOLATE"ed. Love the episode, as usual. Good to see you've had very little trouble with your new toy so far. Cheers, Frank.

[@angegeard]

Awesome shakedown! I am currently looking at different brands/hybrids and your cub is impressive, I’ll definitely be looking into their vans now, thank you! Oh and isolate 🍻

[@matthewl.8312]

NSW there is a 100km/h limit if your GCM is above 4500kgs.

[@billroach2393]

Beat me to it.... It's a trap for young players!!

[@beeragonewhere2819]

WA is 100 when towing

[@trovcom]

I love how you don’t ISOLATE Fred, and find a campsite that is Fred friendly. Love your content keep it up 👍🏼

[@grjh58]

Great vid, great to see that someone is still building good quality vans as most are not. It was helpful that you could ISOLATE that minor issue and still had water

[@AmieeBoyland-xc6kn]

Isolate. We’ve been looking at these style of caravans because we don’t like the idea of a huge wind sail dragging behind us and it fits well in the Prado’s tow limit, so it was good to see one in action.

[@OldFella072]

Great content Harry! Missed you on Sunday at the show but meet Fred, said “hi Fred you big boofhead” he looked up a gave us a big smile then continued to look under the Cub, assume you were under it on the other side. Keep up the great work!!

[@-paulmp]

I've driven across the Nullarbor many times and from Brisbane to Perth a few times, I know the exact feeling of "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine... and I've stopped and now I'm asleep". I've done some wildlife photography out near that airfield, such a nice area for that sort of thing.

[@klickinthewild]

That cliff edge in NSW was an insane place to isolate yourself for the night Harry. Thanks for the video - we pick up our H16 next month and it was so good that these three little issues you had were so straightforward, given the shakedown trip you did. I'm guessing after you tightened down the bolts on the battery box, you fixed the dust issue there? Will you replace the water tank fittings with brass ones? Great video mate 👍🏻

[@ricey241]

Excellent job doing this trip plus the Rosehill show. Ryan #1 looks like a suitable catch and a great photographer, I hope his outing was legit 😉 Thanks for your help with the 3 way peeler I bought at the show, steak, birds nest chips and hot English mustard is the way to go. Happy travels!

[@seanchristie7150]

Awesome episode, The Nullabor looks green as, you can tell they have had some serious rain out that way. Nice way to isolate problems while on the way

[@ShaunGud]

Awesome road trip and episode Harry. “isolate”

[@syc008]

Great to see you back Harry. Best not to isolate yourself ;)

[@scrapcathy868]

Lucky you could isolate the dust problem. Love the new van, enjoy.

[@scottbeattie6645]

10 seconds in and you’re referring to yourself as a moron, it just has to be another great episode very much worth waiting for. Thanks again for sharing Harry.

[@clarekrueger9990]

A great vid Harry. Very interesting to see what broke and what didn’t. Isolate

[@johnphanos1753]

We did a similar thing picking up a Hybrid Camper in Adelaide and going on a 6,000km return shakedown trip to Meekatharra in WA. The one issue we were able to isolate was the lack of wind protection for the gas cooktop. We stuck to the limit for each state and got around 15 to 16 litres per 100km in our 130kw Prado.

[@andrewbaker937]

Good shake down video glad to see you were able to "isolate" the problems.

[@steveandrew90]

Great run down/review harry!!! “Isolate”

[@jeanettebosustow4283]

Great new setup. You will have lots of great adventures and will have to isolate from civilization😊.

[@ruley74]

Dude, you’re not a moron… you’re a caravan owner 😂 Seriously though, when we picked up our Tvan we did similar, 3800kms from the factory to Brisbane via Flinders, Cameraon Corner etc. best shakedown ever!

[@briancork6744]

Great video Harry. You are definitely nice and isolate (d) in this episode 😂🤙

[@deanquince9133]

You are selling the h16 to me very well! Had my eye on one of these and checked them out at the show. Unfortunately before you got there with yours but. Helped me “isolate” my choices 😉

[@kenburry6871]

Would LOVE to get hold of your cook book and isolate myself out bush!

[@jennyholden7774]

Great isolated trip. Enjoyed it thoroughly

[@DrChop01]

@firetofork, Harry quick question...what are those towing mirrors you have on the prado?, they look to have a good amount of extension.

[@mariehawkins8042]

Good to watch the video Harry . We can’t wait to “isolate” in our new c16!

[@TheJock10]

Isolate.. Love those vans.... Saw one at the GC Van show and just fell in love with it!!

[@helenmorgan4042]

Congratulations on your new van!! We had a hybrid, which we loved and did the east to west and back east with no issues but older and lazier now and upgraded to van.. ISOLATE..Would love your cookbook, my life has changed with your tip of cold oil cooking chips, how did I not know this? Maybe there are some more life changing tips in your book

[@marklaurendet1861]

Thanks for the initial run down on the van. Looks like a very nice van. Compared our VX Prado we picked up less than a year ago, you hardly had any dust coming in. Our rear door leaks really badly and I think the vent box at the rear left may be leaking as well as the jack compartment fills up with dust badly. Think I will have to see Toyota. How does your Prado seal, especially at the back?

[@pauljanssens2797]

Great video Harry and very jealous. Those steaks looked amazing and glad you were avle to "isolate" yourself in some amazing campsites

[@4bnewb969]

“I so late” to watch this video! I run a Prado also, and yes, that rear door can be a real pain when towing something

[@michellemeyer7572]

Just crossed the Nullarbor myself a couple of weeks ago. Amazing, beautiful place. Loved how I was able to "isolate" at a camp spot along the way. Would have been nice to have an awesome cookbook to use. 😆

[@Tom-lf8hx]

Id drive 8hrs to see fred aswell ❤ we all love fred

[@MGSkinner]

Can we all agree to stop telling other people how we think they should cook their steak? Unless you're eating it for me, I don't care what you think about how I cook my food. Rant over 😆

[@ThatAussieSheila]

Support this 100%

[@holgermuller2987]

Mate, we all learn from other people’s mistakes or success and yes agree with you we all decide how to cook our steaks.😊😊😊 Cheers

[@lawriefoat5930]

Isolate, Thanks Harry. Love your work mate 😊

[@__lancaster]

Nothing beats being isolated in the bush with good food and good company.

[@rogerclift2705]

Can’t agree more on the mustard with a steak comment. Best. Thing. Ever.

[@stuartriedy402]

You cold isolate anywhere you want with your set up. Another great video. Enjoy your family time. Safe travels

[@kerrypickles9670]

“Isolate” looking forward to seeing more of your caravan camping/cooking videos 🥩🍟🔥

[@johndelezio3455]

Couple of questions What app did you have open on the Garmin while you were driving and how do you find the game ptt, I find the microphone not that great on mine and it’s in a similar position

[@Two-Bods]

Congrats on your new caravan, I would be quite happy to isolate d myself from the rest of the world and cook every day with your cookbook

[@christopherwere7023]

New van looks awesome harry, great that you could Isolate that minor issue.

[@ArgonsGas]

Harry loves a good isolate!

[@croz2530]

lucky you could "isolate" the problem mate, I enjoy your vids, nice episode 👌

[@CptChilliRing]

Nothing like a good shakedown, I usually unfollow/unsubscribe to those that go to caravans but your show is about cooking not beard stroking Dingo piss Creek seeking ultimate epic custom copy/paste travelling, good stuff Harry looking forward to the next one

[@paullawrence1437]

Great content mate very informative isolate

[@aliebenberg6668]

Nice van - great feature that you have more than one tank to isolate from a failure in one! Good Episode… enjoy not driving for a bit 😂

[@clevewarring3832]

What a great video, I haven’t watched for some time, but you’ve convinced me to follow you further into your adventures. Code word “Isolate” Those steaks looked sooo good. Cheers

[@mvumanyamazan]

Great way to check for issues - ideal isolate

[@davidmilledge221]

Nice you're steped up to a caravan , its very convenient pulling up to an over night site stay hooked up just pop the top and ya ready to go and having a toilet and shower on board just perfect mate living the dream 😀

[@michellekirk4312]

We find 90 is a good speed for our 3.5t van behind our Cruiser. Site really stable and gives us between 17 to 20 l/100k depending on hills. Wind resistance changes by the inverse square of the speed change hence the extra fuel use. We love to isolate ourselves free camping 3👍👍

[@keithhaycraft3765]

We find the same fuel consumption.

[@dangibson6486]

Issolate, looks like a fun trip and a good learning curve

[@roddelforce3231]

Awesome video as usual thanks Isolate

[@brookecarroll1047]

Would love to “isolate” myself on a drive like that in a brand new cub like yours. Very jealous and have recently come across your channel and loving it. Now looking to buy my own cub.

[@barryjackson8270]

I have to admit I too had to isolate myself away from everything just to see a steak cooked properly thank you

[@MKPatrolGuy]

Looks like you had a great trip, certainly a good shakedown for the van. Isolate!

[@BennyK777]

Mustard on Steak. I’ll never forget putting what I thought was mustard on my steak at a restaurant years ago. The light was poor over where the condememts were. Spooned a heap of mustard out of a bowl on my steak, sat down and had a big mouthful. Holy shit it was bloody wasabi. Spat it up and have been scarred ever since 😂. Isolate.

[@adamover-field7553]

Awesome trip to c n very envious of those steaks they looked delicious enjoy the van "Isolate"

[@overlandturtle4630]

" Isolate " is the word Harry. Great trip - I need to buy a H16. Cheers

Love your work & no bull approach , really like your fire grill bbq thingy . Are they available anywhere . Cheers Mark in SA

[@deanwoodbridge6851]

Massive effort of a trip. Well done. Time to isolate and have some fam time.

[@PortiasPics4680]

Hey guys. Check the laws on highway speeds when you are over 4.5 tonnes GCM. It's 100kmph in most states, including NSW. It's not just for trucks.

[@shaungill6992]

That first camp site WOW and great to see your a trendsetter aswell harry 🍺isolate d never

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get down to that show, I haven't been there yet. One note, in NSW if your GCM is 4.5t or over you are limited to 100kmh not that people follow it. Looks like a great van, nice and comfy but not the roughing it camping style that's for sure lol

[@roberteverett968]

Great video Harry. I bet Fred loves the new accomodation. Code word "isolate". I try to replicate your recipes when out bush and your cook book would make it easier 😂

[@Mambey]

Looks a bit like kanangra walls or somewhere around the blue mountains ,first stop.

[@That_Girl_7_11]

Nice van Harry,.... I'd "Isolate" the tank too so as you say you won't lose all your water!

[@samanthaburley899]

Love your videos Harry! You and Fred visit some gnarly isolate -d areas and cook some delicious food! Big fans!

[@joshlockman3705]

Man the Australian outback is crazy. Also Isolate, just for the comments for the book

[@KarlEller]

Is there a general area for where that first camp spot is? Looks absolutely stunning, great place to get away for a bit of an explore, and I love a good isolated camp site.

[@haroldtatow852]

Nice vid lad might have been a rock flicked up on water tank seen people put pool noodles around their water fittings and hoses

[@ianwoodward1554]

Great vid, was it worth buying it in NSW v buying it in WA. Cheers

[@marquenjoubert]

Honestly I was expecting harry to clock a 0 to 100 time at the airfield 😅

[@kadiocalc]

First time watching your videos and it was great viewing. I'm looking at buying a cub and so the info was most welcome, then came the kicker..... Sponsored by. I've subbed anyway and looking forward to your past and future vids.

[@Harvey-fy9oj]

Nice insight to the van. Keep it coming.😀...isolate.👍

[@nkend13]

Isolate. Great breakdown trip .. not too isolsted. Dust slways a problem!!

[@Wilbargosh]

You have to Isolate the dust ingress and water leak. Well done!

[@aaronclayton2353]

Isolate… Awesome video once again!

[@nataliegee7868]

Hey Harry, did you get the Dist Reduction System? We had a small dust leak around the battery box too. Also I have hung rubber in front of the water tank outlet fittings 👍

[@firetofork]

Yeah we have the DRS

[@jameswilkins7757]

Different but good to watch

[@danielreynolds6498]

That last camp site looked beautiful not to mention with perfect steaks.

[@terry4823]

Had to isolate myself from drooling over my remote control after seeing that epic scotched fillet steak 🥩😋

[@mickusms700]

No matter how isolated you are, in a caravan you'll always feel at home

[@tonyoreilly5281]

Great episode love to see you listening to the alpha blokes poddy now time to isolate myself and have a cold one

[@LiamC29]

Feeling bloody jealous watching this. Have a sudden urge to isolate myself on a long drive in a Prado with my best mate 🐶

[@kristyjeffery7805]

Gra content Harry! “Isolate”
