Well done guys! I have only just found your site on KZfaq so I am binge watching all your adventures. I think it is absolutely wonderful how you are travelling especially with a young family. We did it for 6 months back in 2013 and went up the centre and around the top end and down Western Australia but we were in our early 50’s, so thumbs up to you all and keep safe. Love all your videos especially the drone work 😊😊

There is a good reason why you guys are my favourite channel. Your content is great, you are all super natural on camera, the quality of the footage is really good and you share you life with us. It is great to watch. I hang out for your videos every Sunday. They have been fantastic to watch while I've been cooped up while all this Covid stuff has been going on. Keep up the good work! :)

Great episode guys. When we had van built we go the underbed box extended to not only have more storage though to support the additional length. Those post are simple easy quick fix it idea, we'll done. You've sold me on the B.e.s.t system been thinking of doing it now I will. Safe travels guys.

Hey Jason, if we had of built our own we probably would’ve done the same and extended it. We would’ve also moved the bed over next to the window as we never use that walking area! Hindsight is a great thing lol... Definitely try the B.E.S.T filter, they really are good. Thanks for watching! 😁

Your problem with water pressure is your pressure reduction valve. This is brass fitting normally where your hose connects to your van. You can take it off and with a couple wrenches undo it and stretch the spring that’s inside You can also lubricate the plunger. This will solve it for a while. If you want to solve it forever replace the brass valve with an Apex Filtramate one, rated 350kpl same as existing one. One of the best things you will. 👍. We also use a BEST filter.

@BigOzExplorers 3 жыл бұрын
Usually we don't have any issues with water pressure and this was the first time. I think it was because we were stationary for so long in Cairns (5 weeks!) that everything was a bit gluggy. We have heard about the pressure valves before but it hasn't been an issue since. As they say, don't fix what is already working hey 😉 Thanks for watching and your advice 😊

Was just going to say you should do some q&a people love to see how everyone gets to go and travel, it gives them great the incentive and courage to do what you are doing. Both of you are down to earth and not out to sell any products and you have some great tips along the way. My niece and her hubby and 2 young children are looking at heading off next year for 6-12 months, have just told her about you guys. Are you doing homeschool with Jayda. Keep up the great work, one day our paths may cross. 🙂

Thank you for your videos, we love following your adventures 👍 Can I please ask you about your recycled mat? I am trying to convince my husband we need one, how does it go in sand and dirt? Are you forever sweeping it, does it get too hot to walk on? Appreciate any feedback, thank you. Keep up the great work & I look forward to when the borders open and you can head to WA 🙂

Hey Madeleine, did you comment on socials as well, Chris is sure he replied! Lol They really are great, you shouldn’t need to convince your husband at all it should be a no-brainer 🤣 Especially with Jack it’s made a big difference for us, we are on a site with gravel underneath us at the moment and he can’t crawl on there… It keeps the gravel away from your front door and makes it easier to keep your van clean as well, also means you can wear no shoes outside your van comfortably and keep clean feet! It’s also very easy to pack away ☺️ definitely consider it, so handy and well worth having. Feels more homely 😌 the only times we don’t use it is for a quick one night stop or if we are on lush green grass (as that’s a novelty in itself lol) oh and it doesn’t get hot either, we always have no shoes on it. 😊
