[@johnnyclark4548]

Wow we were in Yepoon in 2014 and did not see that amazing water park, we were either blind or its build after 2014. Need to get back there. Awesome video thanx guys Cheers Johnny&Rene

[@TripInAVan]

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers mate👍👍👍

[@Doolanandsophie]

Heading to Byfield soon, can’t wait 🤙🏼

[@TripInAVan]

Good spot hey

[@KarlNiblock]

Huge thanks for this one!!!

[@philtaylor4839]

Very good guys brings back memories when we were last there. Only 1 bad thing - I had our push bikes on the back of the van ready to head off in the morning where someone around 2am thought they needed the bike more than us! Apart from that Emu Park & 5 Rocks was great! Can’t believe people have a go at you the way you start a fire!! Safe travels😊

[@TripInAVan]

Oh what a bugger you got stuff stolen. Copping grief online is part of the job unfortunately 😂😂

[@calvinahearn-oe9sk]

Luuv Yeppoon. Lived there back in the late 70’s/early 80’s. GKI was just beautiful. It’s a bit sad these days by comparison. Had lots of trips to Stony and Five Rocks. Great area.

[@TripInAVan]

Yeah it would be great if someone got GKi up and running again

[@sambafireandbbqau8510]

This is such a great video, guys!! Absolutely love the shoutout for our Firestarters - so glad you liked them. Great travels!

Cheers mate, they work a treat🤙

Keep up the good work, Yeppoon has come along way since my last trip, get yourself a small propane gas torch, and save the hassle, lights fires easy as pie. Regards Tony

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers mate

[@scottme1990]

How’s it going gang . Justin have you tried a gas canister with a burner connected same as you use for shrinking electric wire protect 😊 to light your camp fire cheap as one canister will light a lot of fires.

[@TripInAVan]

I haven’t mate but yeah I reckon that would be sweet

[@seandolkens4021]

[@johniesjournies9949]

We use Zippo Tender Shreds. Probably the most expensive on the market but you really only need a couple as they burn for a lot longer. Another great video guys. We are heading off soon from Brisbane and heading to Yeppoon. Have not been there for over 20 years so really looking forward to it......

[@TripInAVan]

[@8888westy]

Hi Justin bit of advice please we had a diesel heater in our last MH didn’t use it much we have a new MH on order but a diesel heater is now $4000 would the air con used for a short time in the morning be ok will have a good bank of batteries and solar

[@TripInAVan]

The diesel or gas heater is definitely way better for heating the van in our experience. But yeah the aircon would work, just very thirsty on heat

[@treeman3663]

You will have to give us a rundown of the 300

[@TripInAVan]

Yeah for sure, trying to use it for a bit first so I have some experience to give you’s a rundown and comparison on the 200/300

[@yamumatittys]

😂😂😂with your fire starters , I’ll have to call you the Encino man. 🔥🔥🔥

[@TripInAVan]

😂😂perfect

[@freespirit1411]

Just chuck the whole box on the fire...might work well 😂

[@TripInAVan]

Might as well hey

[@phillipgrills]

whats the plan are you going to keep the 200 as well long term? The 300 is a great looking rig but the 200 set up wins hands down for me, I think you will miss it .

[@TripInAVan]

I’m so unsure hey. The 200 is the perfect touring rig for sure

[@newport5504]

I think the 300 is a loan car

[@suzannecook583]

Hi guys, watch all of your videos and have absolutely loved seeing the places you have visited. My husband and I have a caravan and a Nissan patrol two tow it with. We recently had our van and Ute weighted to be compliant with the rules and regulations, only to find that we were grossly overweight when fully loaded with all the fuel and water etc that we would need to free camp. Upon removing stuff from the van, we have begun to realise how stripped to the bone it would need to be. The truck also needs to be stripped of many things. I am wondering just how compliant everybody out there on the road is. I have not seen any videos addressing this issue, or is it just the elephant in the room that no one talks about. I believe the fines are quite substantial if you are overweight in any of the departments. Can you address this in a video or even in an answer to myself? Cheers, Sue

[@MrRandyfive]

We want more……!

[@Adamsadowy]

Question for all - If you had 10k to 15k to buy your first van what would you buy ???? Would love to be able to travel from Melbourne to Broome and back and do some dirt tracks and beach camps (not 4x4) Also have about 10k to buy a first 4x4 and was thinking to buy either a triton prado or pajero Any thoughts and tips would be great

[@TripInAVan]

We see a lot of Pajero’s out there so I’d prob go one of those with a Jayco swan or eagle 👍

[@Adamsadowy]

@@TripInAVan thanks very much for the reply , that's exactly what we are looking at to start out pajero and jayco outback model to start the adventure and get us out there , cheers

[@mgregory2430]

TBH at home I use firelighters because what you said. My wife thinks I was mean to you. And she knows what Bec means about staying inside the cossie, though I’ve never seen her swing from anything.

[@michaelrawlings5899]

No wonder you are copping grief about fire lighting your using all the crap firelighters you need to use Product Details Made from natural wood and wax, Samba Fire Wool Firelighers, offer quick and easy ignition without odour, making them ideal for lighting indoor fireplaces as well as lump charcoal or briquettes for cooking applications. These "super-sized" firelighters are equivalent to approximately 3 standard firelighter cubes, which means you use less to start your fire. Superior performance and quick to light, the Samba Fire Wool Firelighters are the easy way to light your fire! Ha ha
