Thankyou so much! We like the no BS approach 😁 Thankyou for watching! 🤠

05:10 the first upgrade should be an MPPT Controller. If you just have a just a DC2DC charger then the solar won't charge the battery(s) while you're driving. If you have both then they'll feed the battery(s). No need for the so-called Green charging system. In Winter, I can get 3KWh during the day from my 1.2 KW of roof top solar with a Pmax of 750W at ~30V. In Summer I can get 600KWh with a Pmax of 900W at ~36V. I carry an iTechworld 160Ah power station with an in-built 2000W inverter. I plug my computer system into the power station when the sun is shining and hook up a 300W solar blanket. My PC system sucks somewhere between 35-45 Watts at 12.V which is a max of 3.75A (more than StarLink, on average) but the blanket can put in 120W at 13.2V at ~9A ... a win-win. If the sun ain't shinin', I keep the power bank for 'emergency use', for which, I've only had to utilise it once in 12 months for my PC setup and StarLink (I live and work on the road F/T).

[@fivedownunder]

Thanks Stuart 🤙 Yea we have a victron MPPT solar charger, and also DCDC charger has a solar input as well, so we can run two external blankets if needed 😀 And also having the ecoflow as our back up power Bank if we get into trouble 🤙

$100 a night!!? That’s insane! You need more batteries. I’ve got 360amps of lithium in a 12’ caravan. I’ve just found your channel and I’m very impressed and subscribed. Loads of great honest advice and a hoot to watch! 😉👍

[@fivedownunder]

I know right! $100 a night! That's the price we pay for having children 🤣🤣 thankyou for subscribing and watching it means a lot to us! Yes definitely need more batteries! We hate having to be careful and always watching the battery system 😅

[@southerngentleman5321]

that was pretty honest guys few would do that, its a great wholesome channel with no foul language or over selling of the latest n greatest no alcohol abuse etc.. great work

[@fivedownunder]

Thankyou! 🙌

[@scotstravellingaus2024]

Another fabulous video guys! Thanks for the youtube financial info - no-one ever tells you anything like this. Good on ya!! Enjoy NSW!

[@fivedownunder]

Thankyou! Yea no one seems to talk about the finance side of things 😀 we don't mind sharing how we do things 🙌

[@joyrendle9341]

So glad to see you back. Looking forward to seeing NSW adventures.

[@fivedownunder]

Thankyou so much Joy 😍 We can't wait to show you more of NSW!

[@stevowyeth]

Great video guys. Wollemi National Park is beautiful and the Dunn's Swamp campground is a great spot. South Coast around Nowra and down. Southern Highlands. All great spots

[@fivedownunder]

Thankyou for those recommendations 🌻🙌

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Awesome stuff guys! We got an exemption for attendance for 12 months in Brissy and the principle actually thought it was a great idea!🙌🏽

[@fivedownunder]

That's soo good! Yea not sure why he signed it and then realized that he shouldn't have 🤣 Oh well it worked out in the end 😀 We would have needed to do homeschooling anyway as we went longer than 12 months 🙈

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

@@fivedownunder I’m trying to convince the wifey to go longer but don’t think the 💰 will last us! 😂

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Great video, love how honest you guys always are.

[@fivedownunder]

Thankyou so much 🙌😁

[@notlosthonest]

We used showgrounds when we needed power, water etc and found them to be a pretty good alternative to caravan parks and considerably cheaper. We'll worth checking out

[@fivedownunder]

Yes that's something we've just been discovering lately as well! Love it, cheap and normally a bit of space too! I agree with you 😁🙌

[@Outandabout-au]

Great vlog guys; ignore the haters - they’re unhappy for their own reasons (feel sorry for them instead). Enjoy NSW outback and I vote you should vlog the England trip.

[@fivedownunder]

Haha yes I totally agree! Definitely think we will video our trip to the UK, we have some unreal spots we are going to 🤗

[@ChappysTravels]

Good on U guys Life full time is pretty chilled, I know I wouldn’t knock back doing endorsements good or bad as that’s the benefit of been on the front line.

[@fivedownunder]

That's 100% right 😜

[@waynepratt2139]

[@stephenscott5791]

Sorry guys just catching up, love your videos, talking about toilet use, do you use Happy Bowls? Best things ever. Cheers.

[@fivedownunder]

Thankyou Stephen! No, I had actually never heard of it so I just googled it. It sits inside your toilet bowl? 🙌

[@stephenscott5791]

@@fivedownunder , Hi guys, they sit in the bowl and flush into the cassette then dissolve, no more bowl cleaning after number two’s. 😀

[@MarkGregory-o2g]

Great tips for newbie’s 👍

[@fivedownunder]

Amazing! Always love to help 😀🙌

[@pstiff]

[@leoniehill6261]

What was the name of the toilet stuff you use Thanks

[@fivedownunder]

[@Braxs1]

Make sure you check out the beautiful South Coast

[@fivedownunder]

We've heard it's lovely there, will hopefully get there 😁🌻

[@SMITHIE69]

Great vid ,what do you think is a good amount to travel for a year today without working ?

[@fivedownunder]

On our first lap we were doing about an average of $1500 a week, and that's with a lot of caravan parks etc. Next lap we'll be aiming for mostly only free or cheap camps, so hopefully that'll be around the $1000 a week, for food, fuel, accommodation and miscellaneous etc. 😀 Accommodation is one of the biggest variables and can make or break a budget haha!

[@LeonieMcInnes]

What’s your online business? Great vid btw

[@fivedownunder]

Thankyou 😀 I am a distributor for Enagic in high ticket network marketing. If you would like more info, reach out to us in our socials on Instagram or Facebook and I can share some more information ❤️

Definitely would consider it, less dump point visits the better 🙌😆

Its fascinating how all the east coasters have to flood the WA camps, be cool to see what is on East Coast...

[@fivedownunder]

We've lived in QLD for a very long time and have explored a lot of the state and have been up and down the coast many times, and we have only been up the WA coast once and loved it and want to go back to explore what we missed out on the first time 🤙

[@thdjnr]
