The Best Things We've Learnt Caravanning around Australia

[@elloweeze1]

Thanks for another honest review , to many videos out there giving the wrong impression of how fantastic everything is on the road and not showing the real day to day life on the road , the stress of money disappearing faster the anticipated .

Hey guys get a hand held two way it’s always hard working on the blind side thanks for the vids and the tips

[@gonecaravanning]

@@Grimspocyrob Thanks Graeme, appreciate the tip, It does provide good entertainment for others though, lol, but not funny at the time. Thanks for watching Ken and Julie

This video is a real credit to both of you. Great information that I am sure that everyone that has gone caravanning will appreciate. I certainly do especially the part about ‘drop me off at the airport.’ 😂 Looking forward to the next one in the series. Well done to the both of you. Cheers!

[@gonecaravanning]

Thanks Sep, appreciate your feedback, when she says, take me to the airport, i go into my best behaviour mode , for a couple of days, she gets over it quick. She does love the travel as much as me. Thanks again Sep Happy travels😊

Absolutely fantastic guys, thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting such an informative and honest video. We are about to retire and looking at buying a van and doing just what you are doing. We do not know anyone who is doing this,so our reliance is on dinkum Aussies like you posting up honest, real life experience videos - warts and all. Again, thank you so much, your content is so helpful and means so much to newbies like us ❤

[@gonecaravanning]

@@mmmmdeliciousbacon Thanks for the positive feedback, it is very much appreciated. I'm sure your travels will go well, learn as much as you can. We watched many video's and learnt as much as we could before starting our travels. So your on the right track. There is so much information in youtube video's. 6 months before leaving we downloaded the wikicamps app and put a destination from each state in a trip plan. Then when we watched video's on places that we thought we would like to visit, we would add them into our trip plan. So half our trip already in planner before starting and we just fill the gaps now. Thanks again for watching. Safe travels Ken and Julie

Honest review of your travels. 👍 It’s not all perfect travelling , good and bad days and exhausting , mixed with homesickness can wear you down. Look forward to more videos.

[@gonecaravanning]

@@debramaloney9334 Thanks Debra, appreciate you positive feedback. Thanks for watching Ken and Julie

[@irenehageman715]

Thanks for all the great tips , Have you ever stayed at Showgrounds they are good and cheaper than caravan parks ..

[@gonecaravanning]

@@irenehageman715 Thanks for watching Irene. We have done a few, but not many. It is however something we will do a lot more of in the future. We are thinking of doing a trip in 2025 that will see us do a lot more freecamping, pub or club stays and showgrounds. Thanks for your feedback, we love hearing from viewers, Safe and Happy travels Ken and Julie

Great video , it helps when the spotter has a handheld two way to communicate with the driver reversing

[@gonecaravanning]

@@davidmilledge221 Thanks for the tip David, we will have to invest in some. Thanks for watching Appreciate the feedback Ken and Julie

[@davidmilledge221]

Yep a check list is important you carnt forget things then , at work we do one every day before starting up the trucks or machines it's called a prestart ,all about safety first 👍

[@topsyjayne58]

Hi would it be possible to get a copy of your check lists please. I know everyone is a little different but as we are about to get our own van - we would really appreciate a heads up on what you have learnt. Loved this clip for its great suggestions. Perhaps you could send a photo of your lists and we can use them as a guide in making our own. It’s very helpful when you were sharing your experiences. We see it as not needing to “reinvent the wheel “ as yours is tried and tested. 😊 Thank you if you can. Sandra

[@gonecaravanning]

Hi Sandra, Thanks for watching, I have put a link below to an excel spreadsheet you can print. let me know if it doesn't work. 1drv.ms/x/c/6e563a0fd508f15f/EWzRzbX7Vy1KhOWYoY2GOu0BY9oJMRQS-25QGCUp2ipwow?e=3FY9SU Thanks again for the positive feedback happy and safe travels Ken and Julie

[@topsyjayne58]

Thank you. That was wonderful and very helpful. Travel safe and have fun. Sandra

[@judy1340]

thanks guys, just getting our head around portable solar panels. Caravan has one on the roof but looking at something extra if required. Enjoying your videos.😄

[@billmcintosh1242]

Great advice and very natural! Have you changed the camara [looks a lot sharper and clearer] safe travels and looking forward to the next video. Thanks, Bill Mc

[@gonecaravanning]

Thanks Bill, Same camera, sharpened a bit in editing software, Julie liked it, thought she looked 10 years younger, lol, Thanks for watching Bill, appreciate your feedback. Ken and Julie

[@FarmersLifeUnscripted]

Hi, we have just found your channel, loving it so far. Just wondering if you could post your checklists somewhere or we could get an email. I realise everyone will have a slightly different list but it would be good to have a starting point as new travellers. Thanks

[@gonecaravanning]

Hi, Thanks for watching, please find below, a link to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet you can download and print, 1drv.ms/x/c/6e563a0fd508f15f/EVF3r0lXqiFEkEMJb0iPmIwB5Md8Q57i_uOw7Y8DC8KWcg?e=TdshNb Appreciate the feedback Happy New Year and Safe travels Ken And Julie

[@dougwillcoxson9958]

We always enjoy your videos but the sound on this one was poor despite us having sound turned up. Dont you usualy have microphones on?

[@gonecaravanning]

@@dougwillcoxson9958 Thanks Doug, we did things a little different this time and didn't relise that the air-conditioner was also running. Will go back to old method. Thanks for watching Ken and Julie

[@jeep2701]

Hi Guys what do you use to keep the map pockets on the wall (behind you on the video) please? Ours keep falling off. Many thanks for the videos, travel safe. Cheers Mark

[@gonecaravanning]

@@jeep2701 Hi Bob, Our map pockets have 6 screws as well as a couple of lines of liquid nails on back.( i know this because i have moved one). The 6 screws are 1 in each corner and 1 on each side in middle, hidden inside pocket. Could maybe just have the hidden ones inside pocket. Screws have matching head covers. Hope that helps, ours have never fallen off and julie puts the microwave plate in when we travel. Thanks for watching Ken and Julie

[@jeep2701]

@@gonecaravanning excellent thank you so much

[@gonecaravanning]

@@jeep2701 hope it helped.

[@judy1340]

Sorry, I meant solar blanket? and have you needed it?

[@gonecaravanning]

@@judy1340 Hi Judy, we have a 200w cheap suitcase type bought off ebay, (think it is really only about 160 watt). We only have 1 panel on roof (200 watt) so have needed more on a few occasions. Very good in late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky and the roof panel not working well due to angle. Thanks for watching Ken and Julie

[@judy1340]

Hi guys, what type of portable blanket have you got? Oh, we love our diesel heater. thanks guys.
