LIFE ON THE ROAD REALITIES - Car Repairs, heater problems, crappy weather. Yamba had it in for us.

[@kelliem2953]

I loved the Milo making…very cute!

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha cherky boy

[@debracameron9012]

Well not every day can be beautiful I guess, but it's a little harder with kids locked up in the van. At least you are out there enjoying life that some can only dream about. Thanks for sharing as usual. Stay dry, safe and healthy.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh thats it, it is more tricky to entertain the kids and clem did a great job while i dealt with the car. We are very fortunate to be able to do what we do

[@joellewis8320]

Life on the road with kids. We only did it for 2 years. Good days and bad. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Way more good tgen bad thankfully!!

[@thevettes_]

Oh that’s so unfortunate it rained so much, but well done on getting out and about when you could

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Thanks guys, yeh was a shame, it such a nice place

[@melissasvedinek850]

Gosh all that rain, what a bugger. Still a nice place. Van life, always washing 😅

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Washing is never ending now! No idea how you manage without a washing machine

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Nice episode. We did a switch for our diesel heater when I installed it for that reason being able to quickly isolate. I always turn it off at the switch when not in use for peace of mind.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh good call guys, just should of done it at install. I do it in next episode and now we do the same its off unless we are using it. Nice peice of mind

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

@@Ourwhittleadventure nice 👍 yeah just one less thing to worry about.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

The less the better on the road haha

[@davekerr8133]

Oh the joys of caravaning. But hey.....every day is a good day. Its good that you get out & about, despite the weather. 😊

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

We would go stir crazy if we didn’t!

[@livingtotravel4290]

Hey guys - what was the road like to the Big 4 at Yamba. The last time we went there it was atrocious. It’s good to show that there are always those crappy days 😂 We might pass you as we head back up to home to Brisbane and will say hello 👋

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

It was all bitumen and was pretty good, couple of pot holes but nothing drastic. We have head inland a little but will be back near brissy in a couple of weeks

[@neilringram]

But yourself a BOS jack. Make uncoupling the van off the car so much easier using the cordless drill!

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh i said exactly that! Im getting over this one haha. My tax time

[@Accolades70]

Noice vid. Great spot when ya got sunshine.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh we really liked the town, can’t win them all

[@outbackadventurefamily]

I just put new CV's in our 100 series and the Genuine Toyota ones cost me 790 each. I'm about to see about a lift kit as ours is standard height and soft in the rear with the caravan on. From what you say a diff drop bracket seems essential. Hope there's better weather in the next video. :)

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh i highly recommend the diff drop, ive only had one in for a couple of years now but the angles look much better. Yeh genuine are expensive! Ive always just put the repco ones in and they usually last but these ones are obviously getting a bit of a workout over the last couple of years, a part time kit mught be my way forward if it keeps happening. Yeh weather got a bit relentless that week, so hard to do anything

[@mickyarred279]

Be great if you could create a video of the installation of the Diesel Heater power switch!! 👍👍

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

I did try to film it, il see how it comes together. Will be in next weeks video

[@mickyarred279]

Thanks Mark!

[@gail9906]

The weather really wasnt on your side 😳 As long as the kids have got warm, clean clothes lifes 🌞 ❤🇦🇺🦘

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh pretty much! Cleaning the clothes was easy, drying them was the tricky part 😅

[@hapninemptynesters]

We love how Liam tells you he will have another one😂😂.

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha he wishes!

[@hapninemptynesters]

[@jeffgibson7528]

Mate, please shout yourself a BOSS jockey wheel 💪😀

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha yeh its on the wish list but diesel heater replacement might be coming first

[@jeffgibson7528]

@@Ourwhittleadventure AU Focus if you’re willing to spend a couple of extra bucks?

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

@jeffgibson7528 maybe not that many. Will probably just slap another cheapy in. Worked for 2 years

[@takingwandaoutyonda]

What made you swap to QLD number plates Mark and Clem? I’m assuming QLD is like WA where you can just pay the rego when it’s due without having to have inspections?

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Yeh same same but to get a gvm upgrade done in qld it needed to be registered in queensland, hence the change. So technically im a qlder for the time being 😅

[@takingwandaoutyonda]

@@Ourwhittleadventureah that makes sense! But we are claiming you as fellow West Aussies no matter what plates you wear 😂😂

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

@takingwandaoutyonda will always be a west aussie. Van is still WA badged

[@karenjoy7557]

Heath is a have a chat...maybe U should put Heath infront of the camera for his sections... Better than crying all the time... Yamba looks nice place to go too...😂😂😂

[@Ourwhittleadventure]

Haha he doesnt cry too often, just teething at the moment poor little boy. Yamba is beautiful, wish we got better weather
