Hi Brett and Mel, your point on not needing a $500 set up is so good, unfortunately some of the other KZbin travellers are building rigs that only the very rich could afford and seem to losing touch with the average person/traveller. Anyway keep up the great work and enjoy your travels. Cheers Mick

im 8 years on the road, when it comes to servicing your vehicle and van “ Learn to do it yourself “ and buy a setup that “ You can service yourself “ this approach has saved me a ton on - money, time and headache. I always do my own services ( even sometimes at a rest stop ) every 5000 km. also learn to do your own 12 v wiring and repairs. again this will save you money time and headaches.

Advice: cook in the morning Salads at night! Water tank: yeahhh! Major! Good friends 👍👍👍 Free time? … WHAT!!! Down time essential😎 and time out from each other. Free camping is a great way to have “down-time” and save money. If you have 3way fridge freezer, ask if local butcher can deep freeze your meat purchase! Even if you don’t, it still is worth it… will last for days! Deep cycle battery is a really good investment. Look forward to following you! Blessings and safety.

Very interesting and informative. I disagree on one point - with regard to the food budget - being on the road and living in a caravan would be far more expensive than living in a suburban house. 1) minimal storage in the caravan would limit the amount of food one can purchase whereas in a house the fridge/s and freezer/s provide greater storage ...which leads to 2) in suburbia one can purchase food from a variety of shops / markets and bulk food stores e.g. Costco. Therefore a family living in suburbia who gets to know the more economical places and means of purchasing food and has the space to store the food (not just fresh food - e.g. a 12 can pack of tinned tomatoes from Costco is cheaper than the supermarket) would not need to spend as much as a traveller in deep countryside or outback living in a caravan and having to purchase food at a premium price given the greater distance the food has had to travel from the warehouse.

@chrisp3044 Жыл бұрын
thanks for the honest review. Like everything there are variables depending on how you travel. With respect to wind and having outdoor cooking you very much need an awning/wind break/shade system depending on how long you stay and of course the "weather" as you say makes or breaks your experience. This leads to outdoor and indoor cooking which for mine outdoor anytime the environmentals allow with an internal options when necessary. Of course we all have our own way and limits, weights, timing, etc. Being only a couple, with all kids having left home, its a different game altogether. With respect to expensive set ups, I see many good channels become "infomercials" once they become industry sponsored something that "taints" their objectivity unfortunately.

With insurance we are also with RACQ for car and van, it was the cheapest and covered most things, but the only catch is we have minimal contents covered and if we went with a specific van insurer for these it would cost twice as much. Every year I do assess our insurances and see if we can get a better deal, but as yet we are still with RACQ. Hope this helps

Yeah sick of the yuppy vanners on YT like for example the couple "Just Vanning it" who churn thru caravans like toilet rolls. They upgraded again to the blingy carbon fibre Zone Summit 21ft worth well over $200k and towing it with their +$150k landcruiser so tipping near $400k rig for 2 + pets. Or the young Perth couple on the east coast who love trashing their V8 landcruiser & wrecking their caravans (also ugraded to a very expensive big one for just the two of them which they immediately went bush bashing to scratch the hell out of it beat the crap out of it). These examples are far from reality of the average couple or family wanting to see how other normal people are getting around and tips etc. We have got a 2001 Coromal Seka 535 dual axle pop top and absolutely love it. Towed by our 2007 Prado 120 GXL which we also love that 4wd and would never part with it. The pop top has a lot less wind drag & weight than our last full height caravan which was an older Roma 17'6" single axle van which we also adored as i fully renovated it, but wanted a dual axle pop top this time to save on fuel for those longer trips
