Learn from our MISTAKES Caravanning Australia

[@MandyPearce-t9s]

Learning from mistakes is so very valuable; thank you for being so generous with sharing your experiences.

[@RoamingFossils]

Take it from an old fossil, wisdom comes from experience, experience comes from living, keep living and enjoying every experience good and bad, life is too short and i hope your veiwers appreciate the content, there is good advise within it, keep up the good work.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Well said! Thanks for the kind words.

[@biglap.australia]

Thanks for posting actually helpful information, warts and all. Recently I’ve ceased watching people on KZbin doing their lap. The click bait is out of control. Sensationalising minor breakages…I’m over it. So thank you for being real.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Yes, unfortunately the Australian caravanning niche suffers so much from this sensationalism and click bait thumbnail. Believe me, we know about it, and hate it. Sadly though it works, and the creators abusing it are growing the fastest. And the new and aspiring creators try to emulate them. It's a bit of a race to the bottom. Hopefully we don't ever find ourselves in that race.

[@biglap.australia]

@@SvedosTrippin 2 years ago I thought about posting our lap on KZbin after two weeks on the road I thought “I don’t want miss anything on this trip and I’m not going to spend hours video editing interrupt me”. So I stuck to instagram as a personal blog of our journey. So, I appreciate the hard work you’re putting in.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Tried to find you on insta but couldn't. whats the actual name, would love to follow and see where you have been.@@biglap.australia

@@SvedosTrippin you do already mate. @Biglap.aus!

[@SvedosTrippin]

@@biglap.australia ahh yup, now I know who you are 😁

[@mikeroempke3762]

G'day, Mike here. I'm 65, been caravanning and bus motorhoming a long time. Made my own mistakes, like rolling a van due to incorrect load distribution in the 80s. Really like your honesty and the way you get on. Enjoy life thanks. Mike 😊

[@reptileaustralia242]

Proud of you guys swallowing pride. We all make mistakes or learn from lack of knowledge. Excellent video thankyou.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Thanks for watching!

[@Bonfordi]

Brave and honest video guys. You obviously learn from your mistakes, and better still share them so others can learn and not make the same ones. A huge 👍 from me.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Thanks for the kind comment, it's much appreciated.

[@cyclonerain1880]

Thank you. 🙏🏼 Your mistakes help others avoid the same mistakes.

[@SvedosTrippin]

You're so welcome! That's what we're hoping for with this vid.

[@spudboy1328]

Great topic. Here's another one: Failing to do a walk around before departing. I've driven off with chocks under the wheels; left things behind; forgotten to plug in/unplug things; etc. A final walk around before engaging Drive is worth the 1 minute that it takes.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Great tip! thankfully we've not made this mistake. I always do a walk around of everything after hitching up. But its certainly a good bit of advice.

[@chaslie]

We have gone a step further and have a written checklist which is A4 in size and it's laminated. This has eliminated our past mistakes and accidents.

[@v0w1x2]

As someone who has written off two jockey wheels and a caravan stabiliser jack I endorse this🤬

[@paulgovier5117]

The pole into sidewall of van is a beauty...The wrong fuel scenario haunts me everytime I fill up. Thanks for sharing your learning experiences.Thinking the checklist is a good idea.Happy vanning.

[@Sparkles1111]

You’re a great couple and appreciate showing as it is and not glamorising van life, like way too many do. Honesty is refreshing and you provided some really important insight into getting to know your vehicle and can. Thanks & stay safe

[@SvedosTrippin]

Thanks for the kind comment. Glad to have you watching and commenting.

[@Complete3DConcepts]

Got to admit, i haven't watched a video in a while, but this was brilliant. you guys look super comfortable in fromnt of the camera and good together. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing the not so glamorous side of the life. we are all human and all make mistakes. it is great to learn from others rather than having to make ALLL the mistkaes myself! lol

[@SvedosTrippin]

been a while Josh. thanks for the compliments, back to Queensland soon.

[@robertjohnston3658]

Love your style and ability to flow the conversation between yourselves and be bouncy without being over the top. Too many dry and boring trip videos that are very tiring to watch So well done , with some good info and the right approach as lifestyle traveler’s , who simply take their time and enjoy their travels

[@SvedosTrippin]

I appreciate that! thanks for the kind comment and thanks for watching.

[@diverstew1]

The initial segment on weights rings home so true. We purchased a vehicle with 3.5t tow capacity but absolutely cannot go anywhere near this and now we are spec'ing up a new 4wd with GVM/GCM, so 120k later we will have a set up that will last us out to retirement. Thanks guys it is so hard to expose yourselves like this to help others

[@davidemby4375]

Wow how open, how honest and incredibly helpful. You can't make mistakes unless you put yourself out there. Thanks very much

[@johnturner5221]

The hand held radio is the go!! The communication issue is a major. Great video!!

[@SteveNoolan]

Mistakes, the knowledge you need, just after you needed it !

[@pieterholwerda3335]

Love your honesty. Thanks for this very relevant clip presented so well with humour and your down to earth manner.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Your welcome, thanks for your kind comment.

[@SunitaDevi-g7h2l]

Thanks heaps. It was really good to know all the stuff you talked about. And yes, we made our very first mistake ourselves with our brand new caravan late last year on our first trip out. We turned into a tight corner, and we didn't look in the mirror and side of the van hit the water fountain and put a big rip in the side. Luckily, there was a guy there, and he came to our rescue, and he pulled the caravan out sideways. We couldn't go forward or back because the water tray was stuck on the inside of the van. Very very thankful to this person. We don't know who he was.

[@joannaamanatidis7732]

Great Advice for first timers. We nearly fell into the weight trap. Cheers

[@JohnHackett-lp5ep]

Thanks for tips more people should do this to help others , may even save lives

[@SvedosTrippin]

So nice of you, we do hope this helps people.

[@carolinaanthoness9428]

[@sharonpalmer908]

Thank you, no doubt humbling but extremely helpful to other travelers 👍

[@SvedosTrippin]

Thank you and we hope so.

[@markthomas8766]

You reminded me of the time I put 80 litres of fuel in the rod holder (the fuel tank filler is right next to it). 25 years ago. I still haven't lived that one down!

[@SvedosTrippin]

Haha we all do it at some point don't we.

[@rodneil7732]

Thanks guys, great info from two honest people actually living the dream, hope you can keep enjoying your travels.

[@Kicknback-BeaLaurie]

Thanks for being honest. We think most travellers would certainly relate & would've experienced similar horror stories themselves. Great information for those starting out! Safe travels!👍

[@SvedosTrippin]

Thanks very much. Was a hard vid to make but we hope it helps others. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@peterlevy7679]

Well said, enjoyed thoroughly.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@lindaneumann3301]

Great episode. Thank you for reminding us all to be alert and vigilant while travelling.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Our pleasure! Thanks for.watching and commenting.

[@keving3639]

Well done for sharing. You virtually touched on this but a great habit ive learnt from heavy vehicles in & around minesites. Complete a 360 walk around the entire vehicle setup each time you stop prior to restarting. Its amazing what you will pick up on. Congrats again happy travels

[@dingdongdarna]

Thank you for making this video. Your right about not many people own up to making mistakes, but when your new to this, like my husband and I, we are still tenting it ATM. Yeah it's a learning curve. I like the idea of the checklist 👍 strap the fridge👍 . We plan on hiring a few different caravans first to see which might suit us and our 4x4. Looking forward to more videos guys....

[@philipstubbs2432]

We are all human and not perfect! Thanks guys you are true people ❤

My fav was the marriage saver. I'll have to remember that one 🙂

[@GoYourOwnWay49]

Hey guys, fantastic topic to delve into and share with both novice and seasoned caravan enthusiasts! The vlog is packed with valuable insights, and I believe others, including myself will find your hard-earned advice quite helpful. I’ve made some of the mistakes you mentioned Brett, and I truly resonate with your feelings on owning up to them with fellow travelers. Thanks for addressing a challenging topic! Stay safe and see you guys on the next adventure 👍 kind regards Corrie

[@SvedosTrippin]

Our pleasure! Thanks as always for the kind and thoughtful comment. Next week it's a fun vlog exploring another outback town.

[@peterguertler2752]

We made the mistake putting unleaded in the tank "WE". LOL love your channel guy's.

[@SvedosTrippin]

we are a team, my mistakes are our mistakes hahaha. Thanks for watching.

[@Travellingtutts]

Excellent video. We’re into our eighth year on the road and gee we’ve made our fair share of mistakes. Love your honesty. I’m sure you’ll save plenty of people some costly mistakes.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Awesome, so cool.to have someone with your experience being interested in this one. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@roberthutchins3435]

This A great Vid👍People Who Don,t Do Anyhing Never Make Mistakes

[@lynbond5126]

Hey Brett & Mel. What an awesome video, honest and everything explained. Yes, it's hard owning up to our mistakes, so well done to both of you! Anyone watching you guys for the 1st time will think that you're on your own....your kids are so well-behaved and know when not to interrupt 😂 Hope you guys and Kaylee & Owen have an good weekend. Safe travels and see you next week ❤

[@SvedosTrippin]

Thanks so much! Many years of training with the kiddies. They were inside playing quietly.

[@melissasvedinek850]

Yes quiet activity time is key

[@lynbond5126]

​@melissasvedinek850 Mel, good plan! You're a lovely little family 😊

[@tonysmith9548]

Great video and some timely advice. Only takes a few minutes to do a walk around your van at each fuel stop and check things out. Check wheel nuts etc. liking your channel keep up the good stuff and enjoy.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Thanks Tony. It's all a learning curve, hopefully we can help sharpen that curve for others with this vid. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@vickibird7764]

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate your candour and humility. Well done.

[@tonyfindlay1225]

Very good video, my tip to add is that I have a checklist that I have laminated, for the inside and then the outside, I religiously stick to it, it came about after I lost a sway bar after my neighbour distracted me while hooking the caravan up, prior to the checklist, I had left the aerial up, had draws fly open not locked, had the fridge door open not latched, left the top hatch open, not turned the fridge to 12 volt when travelling, so my tip is use a checklist, keep up the good work, regards Tony

[@michaelcarr3945]

Great vlog, everyone makes mistakes, thanks for sharing your experiences

[@johnno57phillips4]

I like your video, I also have a small hit that we used when traveling to Cape York with a camper trailer, i used a permanent Marker and drew an line on the face of our wheel nuts ,car and camper and by just looking at them you would know if the nuts are coming loose. We checked them each time we got out of the car especially when traveling on corrugated road.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Great tip! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@fleurneumann8430]

What a wonderfully comprehensive video . On topic of tyres , we do a walk around and check heat and state of tyres every time we stop , about every 2 hours on average , for whatever the reason . But well done admitting your mistakes and passing on your advice to others .

[@SvedosTrippin]

We aren't as vigilant as you, though we probably should be. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@mitchwalmsley]

Thanks again for a helpful video. Now we'll hopefully reduce our mistakes for a big lap from Aug. I liked the mention of the marriage saver offer (I'll definitely not say no now!).

[@ianwhittle5097]

A tip/trick with the reversing of the van ... change roles. Let Mel do the driving and Brett do the directing. Try it. It's a sure way of avoiding the arguments and angst. An old friend told us that many years ago.

[@ursodermatt8809]

really?

[@SvedosTrippin]

We've tried this before, diddnt work for us. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀

[@elsiecater156]

I travelled Australia with a dear mate who is ex farmer truck driver parking in parks were a breeze people used to stare at how good he was, come other times he did hand signals not always in sink.we had 4 months and I loved his surprise at how wonderful our country is was one of many short trips we are unable to travel now but great memories. Thanks for your episode do you travel with children? And these days do you both work as it is not cheap travelling and am sure there are some interesting jobs to do in rural areas best wishes safe travel😊

[@ob1159]

Thank you… I’m a new caravan owner… pick it up Thursday

[@MarshClarke]

Hey great communication that's why you've bin on tĥe road with kids for 4yrs.Well done.Suggest a tiny cheap centrifugal pump, n some clear hose,$30-50 and some spair fuel containers.Attach a cordless drill to pump n you can remove wrong fuel from tank in minutes and fill to the top with correct fuel b4 started.i made same mistake putting unleaded in my deisal n was on my way in 15-20mins.

[@SvedosTrippin]

We are going with prevention rather than a cure, haha. We know double and triple check before filling up. Will only make that mistake once. Also we are about to upgrade to a long range tank and it will come with a bung if we ever have to dump bad fuel we can undo that.

[@peteodonnell2142]

Thank you guys for posting this video. I am a complete "Novice" but am looking at buying a new car & a van of about 16 ft.. You are completely open about your trials & tribulations. Hopefully, we can all learn from ever one else's mistakes. Many thanks, Pete

[@slinca]

I’m a super noob solo. I’m so thankful you guys gave me so much to think abt. 😊

[@SvedosTrippin]

Glad to hear we helped.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Great honest video guys. Having once places a few litres of petrol into our diesel fuel tank, we know how easy it can be done. It is a horrible feeling when you are a short distance away from the servo and you start to question yourself "did I put diesel in" so for that reason we now always get a receipt as a reassurance of what fuel was purchased.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Yeah, it was the receipt that picked it up for us. Mel enters the info into an app to track our consumption.

[@ClareWebster-d1t]

Thank you for making this video. It has certainly helped educate me and made me aware of a few issues that I had not thought about.

Love your honesty and tips. I to had a tyres wearing unevenly on the inside edges. With some suspension work previously the beam axle had been re installed upside down. We found out axles have sag in one direction. The re install created some negative camber for the wheels creating excessive inside edge wear.

Another really great video. So brave if you to share it. Well done. (Our latest: I had to go away from the van for 5 days at the beginning of the week, leaving hubby to 'batch'. On my return on Wed, he told me the flap on the toilet cassette came off when he was about to empty it!! So glad I wasn't there and he had to deal with it by himself.) Yeo. Things DO happen to all of us.

[@SvedosTrippin]

Want a funny toilet story from us. The button on our flush played up and stayed on flushing the toilet. About 15 mins later I was like what's that noise. The toilet was flooding into the van. Ahh well, these things happen. Thanks for watching and the kind comment.

Good job guy’s, a lot of good tips here, basic maintenance checks is something you should be doing at every stop really if you dont have all the excessively flash gear for checking tyre pressures & axel temps, etc. thankfully you didn’t have any real catastrophic failures overall and this is a good reminder to all travellers to keep an eye on ur gear.

Hey guys thanks for being so open about some of the things that can go wrong. We’ve only just begun our caravan journey with a weekend away here and there. Last weekend we were packing up in the rain, and had another person waiting for our site. In the mad rush we packed everything up and took off. About 30km down the road I decided to stop and empty the toot, and found the caravan keys still in the front boot of the van. I did do a quick pre-departure check but missed this one. Keep the videos coming I enjoy learning from your adventures.

[@SvedosTrippin]

always pays to take your time. Don't let people rush you. Safe travels and thank for watching.

Great tips guys we ended up strapping every overhead cupboard as well as the fridge we use little clear rubber straps and stick on clips from Bunnings! We like your fridge idea better though! Thanks!

the clear rubber staps for the cupboards should be enough, the fridge might need something a little more sturdy. Thanks for watching and commenting.
