[@lloydhenriksson]

Felt like TIAV of old. Bit of humour, few hot tips, a cook up and awesome location content. This is still the greatest channel of its kind 🙏 thanks heaps Justin !

[@TripInAVan]

Much appreciated! Thanks a lot mate and glad you enjoyed it

[@thebigw3377]

Onya mate we’ve been watching you since the beginning and you should be pretty proud of what you’ve achieved on this you tube thing 👍

[@TripInAVan]

I appreciate that mate. Thanks for hangin around 👍🍺🍺

[@Lee-astrololee]

What a beautiful camp spot. Yes, l could feel the serenity!

[@TripInAVan]

Yes indeed!

[@NeilFritz]

I remember Teewah Beach and double Island point from the 1980s when my wife and I use to camp there, lovely.

39:10 That scene caused severe brew spewage onmy part. Prob cause I know exactly how it is 😂

[@michaelmcroberts4398]

Great video Justin! Thanks as always for the positive content!!! The one I did really laugh about was the hooks under the chassis for the chains. I laughed not because you didn’t know that (that’s one I actually knew) but probably for all the things I do that experienced people see and judge me for being a muppet!!! Can’t wait for the next video!

[@paulinedunlop8426]

God I love you shows , Justin you make me laugh with your funny stories of the kids coming in hot on your cheese and kabanna platters, I hear you…..kids!!!! Then you nearly drop it in the sand. Also the way you talk to the camera it makes us feel like we are there with you on your adventures. Yeah what is it with people crashing in on your space omg rack off. Congratulations on another epic video ❤

[@TripInAVan]

😂😂thanks champion, glad I can make you laugh with my shenanigans

@TripInAVan Wouldn't worry about it..I've learnt heaps from you guys. Stay safe out there 🥰

[@TripInAVan]

@@gavinrobertmoore cheers mate, have a great Easter

[@benfarmer94]

Hey Justin, you can cut off the starlink spx plug and install an rj45 connector on the end of it so you can plug it into your van, super simple and there’s a few kits online that come with all the tools required (if you don’t have a mate with an rj45 crimper). Or you can also buy plug and play adapters for it as well if you don’t want to cut your cable.

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers man, I’ll give it a go hey

[@benfarmer94]

Yeah mate, super easy to do and there’s heaps of videos online showing how to do it, and plenty of excess cable if you do arse the first one up 😂 Bunnings and Jaycars sell rj45 connectors and crimps as well if you didn’t want to wait to buy something online.

[@spearaus1]

I'm the same age as you and also have the 3 kids. Soon as you started talking about the Arvo nap, I instantly called it. Those are absolute gold on the rare occasion you can get em in.

[@TripInAVan]

So good hey!

Awesome, thank you! Good times for sure

[@stevepierce3509]

Frickin awesome Bunji 👌Nothing beats a solo mision for peace and solitude. 🙌👏🤙👍

[@stevenlee4568]

Hi mate. Not sure if you know but you can cut that end off your Starlink and replace with an RJ45 end to suit your van. You can get the bits and crimping tool from Bunnings. If you leave some length of cable on the end you cut off and put an RJ45 outlet on it you can reconnect the ends if ever needed. Pretty straight forward and plenty of videos on good old KZbin! 👍

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks heaps mate I’m gonna do that

[@anthonytaylor2385]

G'day bro, thanks heaps mate 4 a awesome vid. Like the turning off of the electric brakes on the van in sand. Didn't even think of that one. Now added to my bucket list for a trip north. Brilliant vid bro, Cheers mate 🤙😉🍻

100% correct with the hygiene comment mate. Food contamination when camping/traveling is a bigger issue than people think. Salmonella loves poor food prep practices and can ruin a camping trip big time.

[@TripInAVan]

[@MrGundawindy]

I'm not sure if you actually wanted to know about why American cheese is orange or not, but here it is. Grass fed milk produces a yellow cheese because of the beta carotene in the grass, but corn fed milk produces a white cheese. Many years ago, there was a battle for the consumer based on the quality of the milk used to make the cheese, and the amount of yellow became a visual cue for the quality of the milk. So the mass producers started adding annatto as a yellow food colouring to trick the consumers into thinking they used grass fed milk. This battle to trick the consumer resulted in more and more annatto being added so their cheese was the "yellowest". Eventually, there was so much annatto that the cheese looked more orange than yellow.

[@TripInAVan]

😂😂 that’s awesome! Thankyou I really did want to know that hey. Always found it strange.

[@MrGundawindy]

@@TripInAVan yep, like so many American things, it's just a way to trick the consumers. 😂😂😂

Great vid. A great part of the world. Years ago we had Bathurst on the tv in the back of a mate's wagon sitting under a heap of tarps. And yes agree..... People that park near others when there's plenty of other places is beyond me. Oh and..... Hot Tip.... don't use spray oil on Weber plates it's actually not good for the coating on the plate or your arm hair 😂😂

[@TripInAVan]

😂😂 no good for the Weber??

[@smokehuntersbbqteam3510]

@@TripInAVan yeah the grill coating gets damaged from the spray on oils mainly due to the propellant. You're better off oiling your food only.

Hey mate, take your starlink to a place that runs data cables for computers, they can cut the cable and add the plugs for you with no issues, any electrician who does data cables will be able to do it as well. Definitely an easy job and worth it. Cheers Damo 🍻

I have been using the tuff terrain tyre deflators and so far have had no issues with them, and they are pretty accurate. And they have numbers on the dial so you know how far you want to drop your PSI to, plus less strain on the knees lol, and doing 4 tyres at once.

I do "snack platters" for dinner when camping but the trick is to to 1 each for the kids aswell. Also red wine and bourbon is required.
