Another terrific video. Learnt quite a few tricks.

Thanks Kathleen, appreciate the feedback 😊

Hi guys some good advice here we’ll done, a couple of things we do that could help! We have plastic containers in our fridge, and all our bottles/jars with lids go in there, spilts then are an easy clean! All ours pipes are covered with pool noodles, and we have never had any damage. I fitted a large mud flap right across the front of the van that stops a huge amount of damage under the van, also use a stone stomper they are awesome! I removed every screw in the cupboard hinges and drawers and put liquid Nails in them re screwed them never had a screw fall out! We did the Gibb 2 years back without any issues, hope some of this helps, cheers Pete & Jane

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Peter. Sounds like you have taken every precaution! Some really solid advice yes I am def looking into the plastic containers!

[@petertoohey6315]

@@suelandolt6840 thanks Sue, happy to give advice, we have been caravanning for 35years and I am a carpenter so lots of tricks and still learning new things every day!😀

[@janiceatkinson5112]

I use stubby holders to store glass items in the fridge as well as puting them into baskets. If any spills or leaks occur it's contained. I also try to get rid of any packaging. It's amazing how much room it takes up. Vacuum sealers are a great way to save space as well.

[@martinvdb777]

Love watching your channel. You should probably change your channel description, it still says you are traveling in a Ranger towing a different caravan but still love your content😜😄

[@suelandolt6840]

😂😂😂 yes that's a bit outdated, thanks for the heads up, will have Deryck update it. Thanks for the comment Martin!

[@RobbMinion]

Other than the great insights and advice you guys give, the best part of this youtube clip was listening to the rain on your van roof. Love your work

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Robb appreciate the feedback, yes how good was that sounds! It was a pretty wet couple of days 😊

[@seandolkens4021]

Thanks guys. Awesome tips.👍 We’ve used rubber non-slip in boats for years to help keep stuff in place. As soon as we get our van, every cupboard and drawer will be lined.

[@suelandolt6840]

Ooooh I like that idea! Thanks for sharing that is super useful! Good luck with the new van, hopefully not too long to wait!

[@deirdrefisher2773]

Thank you again for your tips n tricks. Another tip for fridge storage, Sue buy a couple cask wines, enjoy and then keep empty bag. Blow them up and shove in fridge to stop groceries moving around. Works a treat👍 Safe travels

[@suelandolt6840]

Oooooh this is my favourite one for obvious reasons 😂 but that makes perfect sense! Pretty genius and the preparations are fun 😊 thanks for sharing!

[@lindasmith1268]

Thanks for another great video. To save time for spills, leaks, breakages and maintain an organised fridge, I pack my fridge contents into different sized clear containers, no lids and some have handles. Thus all cheeses together, meat together, sauces, dips etc oh and chocolate together so husband can find easily 😂 and any mess stays in container. Anything on the corrugated I pop into the crisper just in case.

[@suelandolt6840]

Great tip and will def stop things from. Bouncing around. Love it! Especially the chocolates 😂

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Cable ties!❤ couple of weeks ago we were on the side of the Stuart Highway in at least 50 km/hr winds being blown around trying to fix a flapping bathroom hatch lid. Cable ties!!!!! Oh and I def put all my fridge contents in plastic boxes and just as well as the soy sauce leaked🤦🏼‍♀️ Great ideas. Thanks for sharing with us 😊

[@suelandolt6840]

Yaaaas, cable ties!!!! 😊 great to hear you are living the full travelling experience and managed to find a solution. This made me smile 😊 the Start Highway! Love and hate it at the same time 😂 safe travels and enjoy!my soy sauce always leaks, I am def getting some containers.

Fantastic tips again guys, thanks so much as always, you have a great time too

[@SollysOnTheRoad]

Another great vid guys. We have one hot tip from experience , we were remote camping in the Northern Goldfields in very hot weather , pulled up to find the water pump had no power, long story short we put a John guest T and Tap under the motorhome so we had gravity water for filling waterbottles, kettle ect. keep up the good work , live the dream 👍🍻

[@brettbulmer2168]

Another great video. Looking forward to your travels on the Gibb

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks so much, yes we were discussing the Gibb tonight ..super excited!

[@jelford194]

Great video! In regards to tyres. If your spare wheel/tyre matches whats on the vehicle or van, rotate them in when you get the tyres/wheels rotated. I like to get mine rotated, balanced, and wheel alignment every 10,000km. Saves having a new expensive tyre sitting there going to waste.

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks matebthats excellent feedback. Yes very good to rotate them every 10000kms, we do the same. We have maxxis on the car and be Goodrich on the van

[@gavinroyals2456]

Hi Guys, A great informative video, but one thing that we always do before setting off after each camp is sit down and read through our check list to make sure everyhing is safe for travel, it took a while to do this check list but well worth it, even for the little things like locking fridge, ariel down, gas bottles off, folding step in. We have about 20 items. Now with your tips we can add more!!. Looking forward to hearing all about your Gib Road trip. Cheers Gavin and Judy

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Gavin and Judy, yes alot of travellers use a check list and it is a great thing to do to make sure you don't miss anything. We often leave in a hurry to get to the next spot due to travelling around my fulltimenwork and often can forget something! Safe travels guys

[@damianvears4149]

Great informative episode guys.❤ We had a slow leaking puncture on the Mereenie loop after Hermansburg on the way to Kings Canyon and the TPMS and the puncture repair kit saved the day. 😊

[@suelandolt6840]

Thats awesome feedback guys, yes it's one of those things that you don't need it until you need it. Glad to hear it got you through!

[@williamdavis9253]

On the back of our utes canopy I have used a gym mat siliconed to coreflute and held onto the glass with Velcro. Has been on there for 2 yrs and no broken windows.😊

[@suelandolt6840]

Oh wow thats a great idea! Sometimes the self made ones are the best solution!

[@tonywilson8383]

Thanks guys for another great video. Regarding the airbags. I run poly air on both my landcruiser and my new 2023 next generation Ford Ranger. Onboard air on both. They have a requirement to have a minimum amount of air in them no matter what your driving on. Ranger is 5psi, cruiser is 12psi. Lower than that will damage your air bags. Also I recommend the pool noodles around your van piping. Works for us. Where’s Bob 😂.

[@suelandolt6840]

Thanks Tony that's super helpful! 👌 for both is and anyone else reading these comments. Ahh Bob, ol mate was sleeping on his bed, I called him over but he was having none of it! Seems the rain tames the beast! 😂

Hi my must is Dr diesel fuel adaptive there is some dodgy fuel in some places and if there is a fuel truck at the servo try another one or wait a couple of hours because when they pump the fuel into the tanks it stirs up all the bad stuff in the bottom of their tanks ! Safe Travels

[@suelandolt6840]

That is super useful to know Scott. That happened to is before taking on dirty feul. Top tip!

[@marksleightholm2821]

think I'll be changing my water tank taps now to brass , thx for that tip. cheers.

Thanks for the feedback Mark! Yeah we haven't done it yet but Deryck seriously thinking about it! Hope you have a great week ahead!

[@marnibarratt8805]

i also love the midweek episodes guys! it gives me something to look forward to each week, i have a question regarding water when you fill your tanks up do you use a BEST water filter? xxxx

[@suelandolt6840]

Ho Marni, thanks so much. No we don't use a BESS filter. We only have the filter built in to the van but a filter on your drinking water hose pipe is really valuable!

VHF yes - have a good one PLUS a handheld so my spouse can talk to me when outside the car. Also have a 6 hertz antenna plus a back up 3 hertz. Cover your rear window with Styrofoam to stop rocks bouncing off van and breaking the window.

Oh yes good one, we saw so many smashed back windows on the outback roads!

Hey how heavy is your van and how many kms are you getting for your 90L tank of fuel?

[@bryanmorris9632]

how often do you serivce your 4wd driver or do you do the seriving of your on 4 wd drive and what time year or yearly do your serving of your 4wd drive or every 5 thouse kms that you do your seriving of your 4wd drive.

[@suelandolt6840]

Elhi mate we do it around every 8 thousand kms and try to get a workshop to do it for us. Sometimes change out the oil and filters ourself

[@fleurneumann8430]

In regard to food in jars , we don’t put glass jars in the fridge . Any foods eg , olives etc I transfer into the plastic Sistema containers (or similar ) with insert baskets for easy access which also cuts down on weight on fridge shelves . Glass bottles of spirits , cooking oil or other such items travel at floor level under the sink wrapped in not slip shelf liner with an elastic band to keep it in place . Also we use small baskets for cheeses , or like products and with glass shelves in our fridge we put non slip liners on each shelf . And any small glass jars eg jams , pickles can fit in stubbie coolers for non rubbing . Hope this helps .

[@kelvinharris3180]

You should probably ask these sort of questions when you are sober.

[@petergalea6032]

The vehicle manufacturers have supplied an item for you to work out the size of your fuel tank…..it’s called the vehicle hand book in the glove box.

[@suelandolt6840]

😂😂😂 thanks Peter, will have a look for it!

Snorkel is good for both water and dust. We nearly dusted our engine because we didn't have a snorkel.

Just take it easy drive slow, drive to the conditions and don’t leave rubbish or dunny paper in the bush.

[@suelandolt6840]

100% nothing worse than toilet paper left behind!

[@ozmid40scouple]

Having "plastic taps/elbows" on your water tanks, etc should be viewed as "sacrificial components" as opposed to Brass components......if Rock Damage is the cause of these components breaking, it is far better to break a plastic fitting from rock strike than a Brass fitting taking the impact and rather than "breaking off" the Brass fitting tearing out the threaded plug in the tank or causing a much more serious issue like splitting or cracking the area around the Brass fitting.....

[@suelandolt6840]

That is a a very good point of view and good food for thought! Didn't think of it from that perspective. Thanks so much for sharing and the advice!
