After a week at the beach, we learnt so much about our van and what we need to do to maintain it. In this episode, we clean the solar panels, use our new beaut vacuum cleaner, put our new tyre pressure gauges on the car and the caravan, clean the van inside & out and re-fill our water tanks. It all sounds simple but things are never that easy!

Hi guys, love your videos. Soo much content to flogging a blowie, funny love it. With your water supply I have purchased a KichAss Pimp in a Box which is brilliant, I have then purchased an Aussie made 125Litre water Bladder from Fleximake in Melbourne. This fits in the foot well of the rear seats. I fill up, drive the car around to the filling ports , hook up my Pump in a Box and empty the contents into the tanks. It takes about 10 minutes to empty and best of all there is no lifting. The bladder then gets stored away for next use. There you go, Bob’s your Auntie he used to be your Uncle before his operation. Hope this helps .Looking forward to your next vid. Ps , I live in Tom Price up in the Pilbara country of WA. If you are ever in the region please let me know I would love to show case this wonderful part of our beautiful country. Regards Donna and Enzo.

Hello Donna & Enzo from Tom Price! Thanks for tuning in and commenting. It’s 5:30am here in Melb and I’m chuckling at how Bobs your Aunty after his operation 🤣🤣🤣 I did mention to Troy about a water bladder… Will definitely check out the pump though as we buy a lot of stuff from Kick Ass. I agree, we don’t want to be lifting jerry cans! Next video to come out soon! 🙏

Plastic 1 litre milk bottle, cut the side off it and then use it as a funnel. Free, quick and easy.

Great tip!!! We could use a coke bottle next time too. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Just came across your channel. Good info. To pump your water just use a companion shower motor pump or even better a kick ass shower lithium pump which fits into your water container.

@JourneyUnknown Жыл бұрын

Thanks for tuning in! Yeah we didn’t think to take the pump with us on that trip, I guess we didn’t expect to run out of water. We’ll be more prepared next time.

Guys take a look at CGear mats. You may know about them. Number one for sand camping. Good vid , thanks.

@JourneyUnknown Жыл бұрын

Hi Rob, thanks for tuning in. Never heard of that brand, they look good but only ship in the USA. I think the problem with our mat was the sand was super soft and we didn’t have the right sand pegs to hold it down. The Muk Mats worked a treat though!

RV Superstore FTG sell them. Designed by the military to land helicopters to protect rotors etc. Worth a look mate.

I generally use a stepladder to get up to the solar panels and use a soft broom, spray bottle of soapy shit and water. My balance isn't the best so i'd end up on my ass i reckon. BTW Laura, that bloody screen door is still squeeking, might need a can of silicone spray permanately in the van odds n sods drawer 😂😂😂 Looking forward to your next vid, stay safe.

@JourneyUnknown Жыл бұрын

That’s a good idea Colin, we have a fold up ladder at the farm that we might put in the van for next time. Oh I know!!! I was saying that to Troy when we were away that I forgot the WD40! I will fix this weekend! No more squeaks coming at ya! Thanks for watching!

Hey guys get your self a 12v shower to empty your jerrycans of water into the caravan

@JourneyUnknown Жыл бұрын

Hey Stephen, thanks for that! We’ll have a look into 12v shower pumps. We’re definitely in need of a better way of filling the tanks. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏
