RUDE CAMPERS travelling Outback QLD

Welcome back to another video! This week we are heading to Outback Queensland!
Bluetti EOFY Sale www.bluettipow...
AC180 discount code: 50AC180CAA (A$50, 1st-31st July)
We start this one off getting some essential spares for the caravan and putting up the awning clothesline before exploring around Lake Maraboon in Emerald. We are then met by some not so friendly campers when we arrive at Lara wetlands, who decide to tell people where they can and cant camp. Putting that interaction behind us we enjoy a relaxing swim in the hot springs a toasty 38 degrees and even get up for a sunrise dip the next day.
After leaving Lara Wetlands we call into Barcaldine for a walk in the town before heading north to Aramac to do the 200km Sculpture trail and visit lake Dunn. A quick trip into Muttaburra to explore the town and look into the Interpretive centre shows us more information on Outback QLDs Dinosaur History.
To complete a bit of a loop we make our way into Longreach and camp at Apex Riverside Park and check out some free things to do in Longreach.

Hi guys as a worker at larra wetlands we are so sorry that people do that we hope it didn't destroy your time here .we hope you continue to have a safe and happy journey all the best Rob

[@maureenmitchell5695]

Why on earth would you be trying to compare Australia with Switzerland? Nobody expects mountains, pine trees and snow in the outback. Desert landscape is a vastly different experience.

[@davidhowell5945]

Stone Stomper is really the only truly effective solution for stone chips. It will also significantly reduce dust on the back of the vehicle and front and forward sides of the van. Only negative is in heavy mud where it will accumulate mud on top of the mesh and make it hang very low and possibly drag. Another thing to note is their service and warranty support is absolutely first class. We wouldn’t tow without one. Great videos guys. 👍😎

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks David for the tip! Stone Stomper seems like a great option 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Lost2Travellers]

The only option, the stone stomper has saved our camper trailer from a mile of stone chips from our trips over the Plenty hwy, Merinee loop rd and a trip up to the cape.

[@ChristopherJGallagher]

Hmm, We towed a Jayco Swan across NSW east west north south, every corner about 14 years ago. I would get an old quilt or a couple of blankets and duct tape them over the whole front of the Jayco. Duct taped the vents as well. Worked a treat but these days you can fit Stone Stomper and the like. In an emergency blanket is excellent.

[@diannetroeth-telfer1148]

Glad you have finally met Karen. Now she’s behind you enjoy the rest of your trip. We’re enjoying your posts

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

👍🏽👍🏽 thanks for watching

[@aussiefarmer6012]

Another great episode, thanks. I purchased a used off road van that had been well used offroad. The previous owners Ram 2500 only had standard rear mud flaps. The van had a vertical mesh screen with frame mounted (caravan stone guard shield)on the van drawbar. This frame had the standard short mud flaps mounted off the bottom of it. This mesh frame stopped most of the damage to the front of the van. What did happen though is the rocks went under it and badly damaged the underside of the van and water tanks. My suggestion from my experience is fit the stone guard shield to the van but change the mudflaps fitted below this and make them bigger and go to the ground. This will stop the rocks going under the van from your ranger. I would also fit big mud flaps across the back of the Ranger (rock tamers). So essentially two sets of mud flaps going across the width and to the ground, both on the van and ranger. Those nets that go horizontally from the ute to the van (stone stompers) are a waste of money. All the damage on our van is underneath the van not on the front of it.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks so much for the tip! Really appreciate that information 👍🏽

[@bittersweet340]

Your historical introduction to your camping adventures was captivating. Having spent time in Australia before returning to New Zealand, I developed a profound appreciation for Australia's diverse landscape, particularly its abundance of mining ore and minerals amidst the seemingly barren and dry terrain. Australia's vastness holds a unique allure, especially coming from a country renowned for its majestic mountains, lush forests, and picturesque lakes. Witnessing a hot spring in Australia was particularly remarkable for me, given New Zealand's volcanic activity. It was a cool experience to see such natural wonders in a different context.👍

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

That’s great 😃 glad you love Australia and enjoyed your time here

[@luciehing3392]

Such a great video!! I’d love to see an updated video on the power bank and how long you get out of it with everything you use on it. It’s the first time for us hearing about it and definitely think it’ll be a good buy for our lap.

[@Blbbbb]

Sadly avoiding rude people, campers etc can be pretty hard. It’s like when you park in a virtually empty carpark and come back to see a car parked up close to you! Unbelievable as it happens way too often.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes some people aren’t very nice 😞

[@Kimmyvee1971]

Don’t let people bully you. I have said, what are you going to do about it? They walk off. Live your life babe. Don’t let people make you feel bad 😊

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes 🙌🏼

[@stuartgarfatth1448]

You two, dead set, are 'Fair Dinkum. Since 1971, me and the Missus, and our two very pre teen boys, have done a fair bit of travelling, a fair bit of camping, wasn't easy. I was in the RAAF, bot transferred all over NSW, QLD, SA, WA, and the NT. Phew!.

[@phillipgrills]

I have a Bluetti 180 as well great addition to our set up, instead of moving it around he van try plugging it into your external power input, you can then use all power points in your van, providing you dont exceed its capability, when off grid we can run the microwave, airfryer, skylink etc from the Bluetti, set up in our vehicle charging when we go for a drive.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thats an awesome idea! Saves moving it around the van for sure! Great work thanks for watching! 🍻

[@wwfgumby]

We just have the AC180 under the end of the bed and run a small extension leasd to the ensuite. Having it outside exposes it to the weather and possible theft. Also, the power to the van should be earthed, so unless you connect the earth point of the Bluetti to the ground, it's not ideal to plug in directly.

[@croz2530]

We just had the front of our van covered with Rhino Lining in springwood from top of checker plate to roof, turned out nice as and stone resistant, and I sprayed the A frame, wheel arch and under floor behind wheels with raptor paint (comes in spray paint can) for extra stone protection, and pool noodled water lines under van, nice NRV you have, we have one as well.

[@holdenbrougham1056]

Good idea cos sheet is to thin on vans , smart build would be to sheet just front with heavy-duty sheet top to bottom, no holes or dints and yeah good coat of good rhino stuff and vans done properly

[@holdenbrougham1056]

I used proper plumbers Gray insulation foam n zip ties over pipes water esp and gas if exposed , helps keep hot water hot before it comes out taps

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching mate! What is Rhino lining? I do like the idea of the raptor coat for sure! Drawbar will be getting that down the track for sure 👍 We will have to get into protecting the water lines next too 👍

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Great idea of the lagging mate!

[@stephenmackay9706]

Thanks!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey Stephen! Thank you so much for watching and sending a super thanks gift 🤩👍🏽 really appreciate it.

[@suegates6584]

I have bad memories of Lara Wetlands, when refilling our tanks our caravan sank into a hole as the tap was leaking and there was a star picket in the hole. Had to use our max tracks to get out then a week later blew a tyre where the star picket had weakened the tyre. So things can go wrong anywhere! Probably should go back for new memories.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh wow that’s crazy 😳 Hope everything turned out okay after that 😊 Thanks for watching

[@stevenmunslow125]

Yep Stone Stomper for Sure. Have one on our Ultimate camper and it was an absolute life saver when we did the GibRiver Road two years ago! And made in your home town of Adelaide of course.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes we’ve just got one actually! So good

[@timsbike4887]

The reverse happens...........we were the only ones camped at the end of a 25k long beach tucked up against the rocks and had a car after dark come and park within a car width beside us. Creepy and felt like we were in Wolf Creek.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh yeah that’s not right 😣😨

[@yumisage]

I love the dark and scaring ppl. I would've had them running 😂

[@Woven_n_Yarn]

OMG YES, did the exact same thing at Gundagai. Parked right up the end doing our own thing, next minute ole' mate turns up in the dark and decided to park right near our camp :/ They are certainly out there :(

[@kenturner6314]

Sorry that Karen upset you Chels. Some people are like that unfortunately, we have come across a few. Funny thing though we find them mostly in caravan parks, in free/ low cost camps usually people are really friendly. Great vid , I think we will take that route next time. Last time we were that way we just followed the Barkly through to Townsville. Glad to see all things are going well for you two😁

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes shame there are rude people out there who just love to complain and make people feel bad. It’s a lovely drive with so much to see 👍🏽

[@arthurwatts1680]

Having driven from Oakey QLD (just outside Toowoomba) to Katherine in the NT when I was with the Army, I feel no need to revisit any outback town. Lived in Rocky for over 4 years and never ventured any further inland than Mount Morgan. Thanks for the vid.

[@glenngarrett8785]

I was a Karen a few days ago - a huge free camp, probably 50 acres, and a motorhome parked so close I couldn't roll my awning out. They told me to move if it bothered me so much. They did move in the end.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh wow that’s crazy! It’s all circumstantial hey. If it’s quiet and plenty of room you don’t park near people. Hope it didn’t sour your stay too much

Hi Guy's We have a Network RV caravan, and our towing vehicle is a Wildtrak ranger, and we use the stone stomper for stone protection, which works great. Safe travelling

[@fleurneumann8430]

Great episode again . By the way if you do like sculpture trails , there is a fabulous trail in WA called the Tin Horse Highway out from Kulin in the s/e wheatbelt . Very quirky with titles for each sculpture . A good free camp in town . Enjoying the fabulous country you are taking us through even though we have been through the towns 7 years ago .

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for the tip! We will add that one to our list 👍🏽😃

[@michaelboyce7079]

When I first moved to Brisbane, I got a truck driving job that involved carting a lot of freight into the old Roma St. rail goods yard and, like you, I struggled with the place name, Barcaldine. Gayndah also gave me trouble and caused a lot of laughs for the Queensland Rail blokes.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

So glad I’m not the only one 👍🏽👍🏽

[@jennybeausang683]

We have been using stone stomper for years now can highly recommend… we have also installed a Busy Bee brush in front of the airbag suspension to help there also.

Awesome to hear! Love the feedback, we will have a look at the busy bee brush sounds handy!

Loved Lara Wetlands. Awesome Saturday night entertainment. Lots of Karen's in the area. One actually saved our awning when a wind gust turned it inside out due to me not using guy ropes. Loved your trip and tips.

[@markcarlile5209]

We love muttaburra. Our neighbours had a farm just north of there Hillview. Another interesting thing is the centre of Queensland monument was designed and built by my uncles engineering firm in Brisbane. Just a bit of trivia for you. Say hello to Fiona at the pub and store.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey Mark! That’s cool 👍🏽 thanks for the info 😃

[@effkay3691]

Most stone protectors work to some degree but over the years I’ve accepted that if you want to go bush, tracks, desert tracks, mud, sand then your van will take a pounding. If you want everything pristine, buy the stone protectors, stay on the black top and travel 15km on dirt every afternoon to camp site.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Absolutely right, we just don't want quite as many as our last van 😂 looked like we had hail damage on the front so we're pretty keen to look after this new purchase of ours 👍

[@raymondbarry1516]

Use products like rock tamers to stop the stones from flicking up. Love your videos, you've given me ideas for places to see.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for the recommendation mate! Glad we can help!

[@gwendolineboutle5620]

Not sure how keen you are, but I pre pack my bearings with grease for our 4wd and cryovac them. That way if you do need to change out a bearing on the track, you wont have to stuff around with grease.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yeah nice! That’s a great idea 👍🏽

[@torremalku]

Great tip on the lug nuts, something that is often overlooked.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Absolutely overlooked! Chelseas parents had them sheer off of a wheel and since then we've always had a spare set

[@peternolan952]

Just a thought, put protection for your gas bottles, hoses and connections, shaking causes fittings to loosen, rocks and dust can damage the pipes.

[@Elizabeth-k5u2v]

What you need to get to protect the front of the van and the rear of your car is a Stone Stomper. Best thing ever. I researched everything and I didn’t want to get any chips on the rear of our new vehicle and then I found the video on the SS.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

I've had a Bluetti 2200w for 4 years. Now plug it into your main power plug outside. Now plug your 240v plug off the inverter into the Bluetti during the day when it needs charging. Maximum wattage 400w. 3 hrs charge time. People spend 6k to 10k on lithium batteries etc for caravan & 4WD. BLUETTI take it with you.

Glad you like yours mine is overpriced and underwhelming performance , for $1200 i made myself a system that runs everything and at about 450 watts of load it will last about 90 hrs with no charge . The bluetti and others alike are just a gimmick you tubers only rave about them because they get them for free and get paid to promote them ! ( Auto electrician turned solar technician )

Put a heavy rubber mat e,g conveyer belt rubber, from bottom of tray to literally 2 inch of ground have it right across the entire ute and inch past outside of Ute's back wheels , a mat of 7 to 10 mm thick is heavy enough so no weights or extra brackets , use angle line and flat trap steel equal size to angle place mat between drill holes rivet or bolt together and then attach to bottom of tray deck infront of tail lights or close

Wouldn’t it be more convenient to just have a decent electrical system in the van, with inverter, 12v and USB outlets? Wouldn’t need to be super expensive to be better than carting around the Blueti every time you want to use 240v?

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Depending on your budget and how permanent of a set up you are after are contributing factors, we want decent electrical system but don't have the budget right now for one 👍

Oh really! Her wheels are fine (I think) 🤔 might need to double check them now

[@michelle10261]

I one of them for my Mitsubishi express van, but it probably cost more there my van. The sparse at lighten ridge are really hot. Really nice meals at the rsl in longreach .

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching and that information 👍🏽😃

My old uncle bill is a old prospector and has a ultra basic trailer with a shearer’s cot a little wood stove and that’s all he needs 😂this big fancy Winnebago owner walks over and says so this is how the other half do it 😂old unk said I’ll show you I do it if you don’t dissapear 😂

[@judytill7607]

Hi love your video, do you have any tips when travelling with a dog , we take our dog camping but find it hard to visit places with her

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey Judy! Juice has been full time in the caravan since a puppy so it’s all he knows. He’s very good staying alone while we go out exploring. We have a crate which he sleeps in and it’s his safe space in the caravan so he’s not walking around our feet all the time.

[@barriebrown2460]

Great content guys. Really enjoy watching.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks so much Barrie!

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

Very nice locations. Very luxury van! Sorry to hear about Kunt woman. I have not done camping but I want to get away from those people in the city but they exist in the remote area too,,,,, Hot spring looks nice! You two are nice people!

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes rude people everywhere unfortunately 😞😞 At least the hot springs relaxed us 🙌🏼

[@chrislucas2283]

I put a lot of stuff away for when i may need it , the problem is i forget what i have put away .

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Haha oh no

[@gettingoutthere9998]

I’m with you Bryce, Coopers Pale any day…and it’s Australian 👍

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

[@StormBoy505]

The Cow ABSOLUTELY blew Me away, great video stuff the Karens.

[@rossjohnson6509]

Good work, we're heading that way in a few weeks so great travel tips.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Glad the video has helped Ross

Look at some videos on converting the Starlink to 12v. It will work for a lot longer.

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes for sure! We would love to give it a go soon

[@bobr6555]

@@CaravanAdventureAus I now use a Cowfish 12 volt Starlink adaptor running into my Teltonika RUT360 4G modem, so much better than the Starfish 240v modem. Unlike most people, mine is set up in my 4WD not my caravan so I get great 4G range and have Starlink with us in case of emergencies even if the caravan is back at camp.

[@RayBesim]

When I always go to the new camp site & there is other campers there I always ask is it okay to camp there next to them It’s just a courtesy I have heard some horror stories where people pulled up and blocked other people‘s views specially when there’s plenty of room around

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Yes that’s a great way to do it 👍🏽 Lara wetlands you are told to park around the Lake but this one lady didn’t like us parking there even tho she had soooo much room! Bet we weren’t the first people she’d had a crack at either haha

[@fleetwood56]

Hi guys we have just ordered a Network RV. How much dust does yours let in? Thanks.

[@WeeJasperVetClinic]

Found this on KZbin after typing in rude campers as we had an experience at good hope near Yass on the weekend. Great location on the river with great views, but hell, Canberra people do not clean up after themselves. At least they did change the babies nappies, be good if we never found them every where after a few crows decided they wanted seconds or maybe thirds or should I say turds. 💩

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Hey thanks for watching! Wow that is terrible. Can’t believe when people leave rubbish around 😱

[@markhopkins9925]

Thanks guys , thanks for showing us around . There’s always Karen who complains. Keep ‘em coming ! 👍👍🍻🍻

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks Mark for following along! Yep too many Karens around hey 🥵

[@downunderfulla6001]

Yes the lake is still really low. The tower you filmed coming across the dam wall is normally well in the water. Unfortunately everywhere in Queensland scumbags will raid Redclaw and crab pots

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Oh wow! That’s crazy it’s so low 😳

[@tina2deadly]

I've been living in NT too long cause I saw those murky water spots and thought, 'crocs?' So, yeah, still wouldn't trust murky waters, no matter how safe it is 😂

[@Blong52]

put a stone guard on the caravan draw bar and on the bottom place 600mm truck mudflaps i would show you a picture but cant attach, i sold my stone stompers Cheers

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks mate for the tip! Heard great things about the stone stompers

[@aussiefarmer6012]

100 percent agree, needs mud flaps to the ground below the stone guard, the rocks go under it and smash up the water tanks and anything else not protected. Fit big mud flaps to the ranger too. Stone stompers are a waste of money and by themselves do nothing to protect the underside of the van. A stone guard with big mudflaps will work better and be cheaper.

[@yumisage]

This is awesome! Thx for sharing 🫶

[@CaravanAdventureAus]

Thanks for watching!

[@norasno1768]

Seriously can not believe we have Karen's in Australia while camping. Big thumbs up to the channel.
