Hey Alex. Don’t tap into power near the mirror. It’s part of your ADAS system (anti collision stuff) which runs to the ECU and so on. Just run a jump wire from the fuse box that has power on accessories. Then run the wiring up the a pillar and tuck into the front of the roof lining. Job done. Great episode guys.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks mate!

[@jjktmk14]

Roast Take out of packaging pour boiling water over and pat dry. Leave in fridge uncovered over night. Remove from fridge and let rest for an hour or so and salt only (no oil or anything just salt) just before it goes in Weber. Have Weber up flat out and cook for 1/2-3/4hr flat out to get crackle then reduce temp to 160 Degrees Celsius and cook to desired internal temp. That first 1/2-3/4hr is when you get the crackle. Has worked for me for years 🤙🏻 Cheers Jason

[@StephenLyon-b3q]

Yes the bird is a channel billed cuckoo or storm bird, migrate from New Guinea and Indonesia to lay their eggs in other birds nests and have them birds raise their chicks for them. We call them storm birds here in QLD as they’re normally seen at the start of the wet season.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@stevec6487]

For your pork roast, all that I do, and it works a treat every time is, the day before, I pat it dry, scour it more than what the butcher does, coat it in vegetable oil and salt, rub it in. Then, put it in the fridge overnight. Heat the BBQ to 250+, whack it in and leave it. A 2kilo pork takes around 1.5 hours.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@Bradp72]

i have always struggled with the pork crackling in the weber.... i now roast pork in the airfryer.... perfect every time!

[@nowornever_aus]

Can’t beat the air fryer hey!

[@ourredaustralia3557]

For power with the dash cam use a fuse tap and get power from the fuse panel so it’s easy to remove later with cutting into wires

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@debrowe2120]

Another great video guys, thanks heaps. So real. PJs, wet weather pack ups, what you see is what you get. Love that. The bird is a juvenile Channel billed cuckoo. Very unique. Lays their eggs in currawong or magpie nests for them to raise.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks Deb! 😁

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Awesome episode guys!🤙🏽

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks guys!

[@stuartkcalvin]

Nice Ep guys, thanks.

[@NeilFritz]

My wife and I love traveling the New England, some lovely towns and History, that bird looked like a Bower Bird

[@nowornever_aus]

It’s a great way to travel the coast hey!

[@Paul4x4B]

Def not a bower bird…

[@annettewheare6675]

Alex with pork roast rub salt and lemon juice all over and cook roast ,then at the end crank the webber up flat out and leave until crack but make sure you open and check otherwise you may burn it and don't wrap in foil or anything if want meat to rest then take cracking off before wrapping it in any thing 👍

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you! Yeah we did take the crackling off before wrapping this time 👍🏻

[@alisonphilp7497]

Love ur work guys great places in oz Glad to see the pork worked out

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you!

[@WaltersWobblebox]

Hi guys, dry pork overnight in fridge wrap in paper towel, do not poor hot water on it,defeats the purpose of drying.little bit of oil with salt n pepper on it,cook on high 280+ for 20 min then turn down to 180, when close to temp crank back up to high for another 20 min,do not cover when cooked,goes soggy……enjoy

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you!

[@CatherineRoss-Taylor]

Totally agree!😁

[@lorrainemorrison1124]

New England Highway is great, lots to see and do

[@nowornever_aus]

Agreed!

[@CherylJohnsson]

Pork crackle biggest hint is brush vinegar over the skin, cook slow for 30mins, then take out and put oil and salt over it, crank up the heat till cooked. The vinegar dries out the skin for perfect crackle!!!! good for a weber, oven or airfryer.....Try this next time....

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you!

[@FloridaBiker-t3b]

Love seeing these interesting Aussie towns.. 👍

[@nowornever_aus]

We really enjoy it!

[@johnWestwood-vb8pp]

Take the pork out of the fridge a few hours before you cook it needs to be more room temp , then oil and sea salt it just before you put it in the weber and if the weber is getting to hot put a stick under the lid to get better heat control will work best of luck

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@tonymouat2962]

Wouldn’t mind going to camp for a cure 👌😊and catch up you seem like great people to me 👌😊🍻

[@nowornever_aus]

We would love to see you there!

[@iansharpe1675]

I don’t use oil , pull it out pat it dry , get to room temp ,score the skin,salt and rub it in , then foil tray cook at 220 for an hour then back to 180 till meet is cooked , yummy

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@terry2833]

Thank guys safe travels 😊

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@tookeyloco3440]

Cover it in salt in fridge over night un covered next day pat dry little bit of oil cover in salt again roast it 180 - 200 degrees don't wrap after cooked if possible keep lid a little bit cracked whilst cooking to help let the steam escape look at it as much as you want as it will also let the steam escape ❤ Tookey

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@davidfox4799]

Hey Alex, If you find out about wiring up the camera on your ranger let me know. I have same PX3 and colour as yours. Should do a vid👍

[@RPCaravan-Bella]

Great episode guys. If you guys are headed north from Tamworth. Do yourselves a favour and stay and the Bingara Gwyder river free camp. There are heaps of spots right on the river and it’s a lovely little town with a great bakery..

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@nadenekendall2982]

Hi Erin and Alex. Just replying to your request for comments on your roast pork. You should not wrap the pork once cooked, that will make your crackle go soggy because of the steam inside the wrap

[@nowornever_aus]

We cut the crackle off before we wrapped it, just didn’t show that part 👍🏻

[@Accolades70]

Grreat Vid... One Day....

[@JulieMills-ix2xc]

So jealous that you have rain. We haven’t seen it in 5 months here in SA

[@nowornever_aus]

Wow that’s a long time!

[@FerrarisOnSafari]

I pour boiling water over my Roast Pork, but then I pat it dry & then blast it with a hair dryer for a few minutes. Salt and leave for a bit. I never add oil and mine comes out good. But your crackle still looked amazing so if the air fryer works go for it 😊

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@gavandavies332]

I think you have too have the stove or BBQ up on full heat for first hour then back off the heat too cook rest for couple hours.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@begoodjohnny62]

Hi Guys, love the journey videos, energy, story telling and filming. Please cover those tatts not attractive. Imagine your lovely caravan canvas covered in stickers you lovingly restored, I don't think so!

[@thesullivans217]

You did the roast perfectly. Webers struggle to create crackle cause you need fan forced hot air or direct heat from the fire. We’ve always gotten excellent crackle doing the roast on the spit over coals. I reckon you’ve got the right recipe. Cook in Weber first then crackle in the air fryer. It’s what I’d do if we didn’t have the rotisserie. You could always take the skin off and wrap the meat to rest it while you’re doing the crackle in the air fryer?

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks! Yes that’s how we did end it just resting the meat and crackle in the air fryer. I do like the idea of having a go at a rotisserie though!

[@thesullivans217]

@@nowornever_austotally recommend the auspit. Very easy to clean, light and pack up/set up is simple

[@mindyedwards2699]

Loved the kangaroo coffee cup you got in Stroud.

[@WilliamRiding-cc7vr]

You can tap in and steal a feed but you have to make sure its an accessory feed it will draw more amperage and you may need to increase the fuse size depending on amperage drawn

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@drewbryan9125]

Hey guys. We dry our pork in the fridge for 24 hours before salting only. We don’t pour boiling water over it as that step is not needed as it rehydrates the skin and ends up floppy. Haven’t failed yet . Hope this helps

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you!

[@nicolesmith-lh3qi]

I’d swap & do the pork in the airfyer & veggies in the Weber lol, I’ve never had a fail in the airfyer. I’d also skip the boiling water step.Thanks for your videos 😊

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@owenclark2661]

The only way I get crackling is place a base alumnium foil put the crackling down first , get to start crackling just and turn it over and cook it 1 hour per kg . You will get cracking it takes about 4 roast to get it right . Love your videos you guys have no buckshit.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you!

[@kathrynyates8811]

Hey guys. I asked an auto lecko if I could run my Blackview from that power source and he said no because the voltage isn't high enough to that port. If you changed it over maybe but it's probably easier to just run the hardwire under the edge of the rooflining into the fuse box. I have mine run that way but still have it plugged into the cig socket in the dash

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks for the info!

[@gavindereus3643]

Alex, in regards to your dash cam power enquiry, you should be able to connect into the power above and you'll be ok?😊😊

[@nowornever_aus]

Will pull the cover off and check it out 👍🏻

[@DebrCurtis]

Roast Pork, I oil and salt it just before I put it in 😊

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@NeilF4x4Crusading]

I do mine in the air fryer, perfect crackling everytime ! Forget trying to cook it in the Weber eh

[@nowornever_aus]

Haha I feel like I have to nail it in the Weber at least once! 😂

[@craigpickworth864]

Ha Alex, I noticed you still haven't covered those black blanks on the back of the van with the don't overtake turning vehicle stickers.😅😅

[@nowornever_aus]

No I haven’t found ones of a suitable size, and to be honest I don’t mind the black rectangles 😂

[@paultabone2010]

Great Episode 🦘🦘 I was just wondering what you do with the dogs when you go off on your adventure for the day, we have 2 dogs but we really don’t go anywhere without them, because they just be upset when we go for 1 hour, we have 2 modools and they won me .the pork looked delicious 🍖. Take care have a great week.🍹🍹🦘🦘🌈

[@nowornever_aus]

Sometimes they stay in the van with the ac on, other times they stay in the canopy if it’s not too hot of a day, they never make a peep in either situation and they love just lazing around being older dogs 👍🏻

[@paultabone2010]

@ thank you for the advice. .safe travels 🌈🦘🦘

[@sharpgas]

Alex, you nailed it. Mar-A-Run-Die.

[@nowornever_aus]

😂 bout time I pronounce one right!

[@WilliamRiding-cc7vr]

You could just run twin core wire from the back of the fuse box accessories fuse and the black to the body( earth) and just tuck it in behind the cowling instead of unscrewing the lot

[@nowornever_aus]

👍🏻

[@4wd_action]

Not sure with that model ranger put on the newer ones. Their is a usb on that moulding to plug in dash cams.

[@nowornever_aus]

Yeah that’s the model after ours

[@wendyoswald6610]

Another great vid guys. Also just wanted to ask about your Webber where did you purchase the half grill plate from plz

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks! We got the plates from the Weber store in Brisbane

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Thanks for another informative video. May I ask if you have ever had any issues getting your poly gas bottles filled? I understand many places will no longer refill them but not sure why.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thank you! Yes lately it’s becoming harder since bcf stopped filling them unfortunately, tend to go to bbq stores or smaller hardwares now

[@treeman3663]

New england hwy is nice stop in at coona

[@nowornever_aus]

Sure is!

[@AliceKing-r5z]

I reckon the bird's a juvenile Channel Billed Cuckoo. If you ever see a bird a bird flying that looks a bit like a flying walking stick, that'd be an adult Channel Billed Cuckoo. The juveniles are raised by other birds as the mother lays its egg in another poor bird's nest who then sits on the egg and raises it - the host parents are usually much smaller birds and get worn out meeting the feeding requirements.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks for the info!

[@gailmoore1330]

Can you let me know if you find it difficult to get your compgas cylinders refilled, are they still banned at certain retailers for refilling?

[@nowornever_aus]

Yes it is becoming harder with Bcf no longer filling them so we’ve been going to smaller local hardware stores

[@neilharvey2768]

Hey Alex quick question what sikaflex do you genereally use as i am going to install an antiflap and want to seal and glue the brackets onto our van aswell as screw and as you ' Used to build caravans' lol i thought i would ask you?

[@nowornever_aus]

My go to is Bostik V4 for the caravan 👍🏻

[@neilharvey2768]

Thanks 👍

[@nzmarkb8713]

Quick question, are you using the dash cam for your on road driving footage Another great episode cheers 👍

[@nowornever_aus]

Nah we haven’t used it for footage yet but we have thought it would be good for it

[@jonnythunder92]

Crackle is like a dark art...

[@nowornever_aus]

Haha true!!

[@johntrueblue]

Just a word on the diesel heater tank, stick a stubbie holder (one with a closed bottom) over the cap, cause they are not UV stable and will over time crack. How you guys go with filling up your composite gas bottles, been reading and watching videos where people are finding that fuel stations and other places will not fill the composite type gas bottles? As for the bird, i believe thats a (male) channel billed cuckoo. What salt does is draws out the moister within the skin so best to do that night before and use a Stainless Meat Pork Belly Skin Pricker to perferate the skin more than what the butcher does, this allows the oil from the pork to be drawn out through the holes to crisp the skin.

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks! Yea we’ve found it to be harder to find places that will fill the bottles since Bcf won’t do it any more

[@davidkirk5074]

It's a Channel billed cuckoo, They migrate to Australia.

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@michellemorley8528]

Hi guys, the bird is a young channel billed cuckoo 😀

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@nathankross4736]

Pork roast make sure it's completely dry and NO OIL OR SALT

[@nowornever_aus]

Thanks!

[@patryanlrd666]

No oil, you’re trying to dry it out 😉

[@nowornever_aus]

👍🏻 cheers

[@colin-j3z]

we 99% of the time we put the rind side down on the bottom but you need to watch it so it doesn't burn

[@nowornever_aus]

Might give that a try! Thanks

[@johnpitt2742]

as long as the meat is cooked and edible it is food

[@nowornever_aus]

True

[@Rogerdodger1246]

Bro grab the power from the dash,

[@treeman3663]

Ask grant how to get crackling

[@AndrewHessey]

lots more salt on the pork mate she'll be good then

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@treeman3663]

Herbamare on the pork better

[@lynettematthews4084]

The bird is a cuckoo

[@lynettematthews4084]

Great video ❤

[@markgrissell7602]

Don’t wrap it.

[@nowornever_aus]

Only wrapped the meat, not the crackle itself 👍🏻

[@markgrissell7602]

Hmmm. Back to the drawing board. 🤔

[@laurendonald596]

Why don’t you ask your mate, (who doesn’t build caravans) but is a chef, to give you the perfect tip lol

[@nowornever_aus]

I’ll have to!

[@robertwilson2185]

Channel billed cuckoo I think!

[@nowornever_aus]

Cheers!

[@Paul4x4B]

Cuckoo/storm bird/weather bird…google australias most annoying bird call…

[@nowornever_aus]

Wow I grew up hearing that but had no idea it was one of those!
