Great tip! Thanks Dennis!

Hi there! Thanks for watching! I think we will definitely do a hitch / unhitch procedure soon! We will work on this and a weights guide to come out over the next few weeks! 👏👍

Thanks for the feedback, we try to mix it up as much as we can to keep it interesting. The day to day things are interesting as well! Thanks for watching!

Yesss! I’ve seen these before and they look really good!! Might have to look into getting one of these!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Yes definitely are!! Wow so excited for you!! You will love it! What did you go for?!

@@StaycationOz XCountry Extreme with modifications & upgrades

Great choice!! Enjoy your new van!!

Ok done! Leave with us and we’ll work on it 😀 Thanks for watching!

Cheers - some great tips there! Thanks for watching ☺️

Yes - this is definitely on our video to do list!!

Thanks so much Scott for following along!! We’ll definitely pull together a hitching/ unhitching episode soon!! We may still eventually get a diesel heater along the way... I bet once we have seen/experienced the difference.... there’s no turning back haha!

Good to know. Europe is on the bucket list for some time in the future 🤩

Thanks so much for the feedback Keith. We are actually working on a weights video now, which we'll release in the next few weeks. Next week we should have a hitching/unhitching video (we are recording it now) then we definitely want to do a car set up video and our camping setup in the coming weeks. So lots of content coming!! Thanks for watching and GREAT FEEDBACK!!! We love it!!

Absolutely- we’ve learnt a lot more since that video, and if you have seen our Fraser Island video, you’ll have heard us talk about the Raptor that tried to cross Eli Creek at high tide with no snorkel 😳

Thanks for watching Kerri, we'll be doing more of these over the next few months! Stay tuned!!

Hi Chris, perfect, we just finished filming it today, so we’ll hope to have something very soon!! Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks Garry and thanks so much for watching the video!! We have a 3 way fridge, it’s automatic but find it unreliable so we switch the power source each time! We did think about a van skirt, but we pack up and down so often we were worried it wouldn’t get enough use. We haven’t yet had any moisture concerns, but fantastic tip which we will keep in mind!!

Thanks Paul! We are glad to have made 1000 woohoo!

Thanks so much 👌

Hi Michelle - that episode is coming VERY soon. Watch this space!!!! 📺

Hahaha great minds!! Exciting years ahead to be a bomber fan!!

Thanks for watching John!

Thanks so much guys!! Next stop 10,000 haha! We might do a video about our video and editing gear, we use Adobe Premier Pro for all our editing and After Effects for video graphics. We share the editing but Hannah does more than I do. Each episode takes a lot of work, probably 10-15 hours worth of editing, depending on how many clips etc, it’s a lot of work! We are just self taught, there’s so many good guides on KZfaq which we’ve watched over time. We work on 2 decent laptops but longer videos and drone footage really slow the process down and premier pro is frustrating at times... wish we had a much more powerful computer but we get by with what we have! Start off by choosing the software you want to use then learn it on KZfaq, we pay for the entire Adobe suite as there’s lots of other apps we use to edit photos and create thumbnails etc, but try look for a membership on special, we pay about $45 a month for total access. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!!!

@@StaycationOz 10K for sure! Thanks for such a detailed response and tips, I really appreciate it!

Thanks so much Cath!! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks Melanie and thanks for watching! Glad they were useful! Not much longer to wait for the price, we would have loved a price but its a little too heavy for our Ranger! Thanks so much for following, hopefully we’ve given you a few ideas on places to visit!!

Thanks Peter and thanks for watching!! We will work on a weight video and hitch/unhitch video over the next few weeks so stay tuned! Learning curve is definitely a steep one but it gets much easier the more you can use it!

Thanks Max and thanks so much for watching our vid!!

@@StaycationOz wow, you have had 10 new subs since I subbed an hour or so ago, almost 1000 subs means you must be doing it great. You guys are so natural, and have a gift for doing these videos, unlike a lot of them who try to be professional TV personalities lol.

YES! We are so close to 1000 only 2 to go, very exciting! Thanks so much for your positive feedback, makes doing these videos all worth! Lots more great vids to come 😀🙌👍

@@StaycationOz Congrats on 1k ...... 1 down more to go

Woohoo thanks!! Very exciting! Thanks for subscribing!!

Cheers mate! Yes, crossing fingers we get there very soon!! 🤞🏻

We most just just GoPros to film our videos, then or course use a drone as well! To edit videos we use Adobe Premier Pro! Thanks for watching! 👍

haha the amount of tea we get through is crazy!! We still might invest in Lithium later down the track! Thanks so much for watching!!

We drove past them while we were in Perth and so nearly went in to have a look haha!! Thanks for watching Phil!!

Hi Laura, thanks for watching! We’ll work up a weights video, as it is a very tricky topic! Haha we noticed we forgot to talk about what we got rid of! We’ve had to throw out some clothes we don’t use, some kitchen items, a few storage baskets, spare sullage hose, a dog bed. If we haven’t used an item so far, it needs a good reason not to be thrown out 😀

@@StaycationOz thanks for replying. We havnt received van yet but have been researching and find the whole weight thing confusing

Yea it’s really complicated, we spend ages going through it, again and again to make sure we got it as right as possible!!

Hey guys, thanks so much for the positive feedback! You won’t be disappointed in a crusader, they are lovely vans! On our Wildtrak we haven’t done anything to it besides upgraded to AT tyres! That’s it! On our 15k service I asked Ford to take a good look at the suspension since we tow a heavy van, but they said it all looks good, so very happy! Our tow ball weight ended up being quite a bit lower than expected, around the 250kg mark which was good. Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks so much for watching and the great feedback!! We haven’t found any issues with mould yet, not that we know anyway! Dehumidifier would work but would be a pain to carry around.. I reckon if we did see mould we’d take it to a caravan place to check it out or fix, some moulds can be dangerous!

Thanks so much!! I’m not sure how high it ‘could’ go, but the maximum legal height is around 120m high. Thanks for watching!!

Hi David. If you go to our website: www.staycationoz.com , click on Information and Tips and scroll to the bottom of the page, you’ll find the checklist there. Thanks ☺️

Hey guys. Just clarifying what you mean - do you mean the break safe / break away that applies the brakes if it disconnects?

@@StaycationOz yes that’s it break safe breakaway you had issues in one of your episodes yours was showing a red light.

teambmpro.com/wp-content/uploads/171013_M-TS.pdf

Try this - it’s the instruction manual for the latest version. I do have a screen grab of the older version too that I used.

All good! We had to learn all this stuff as we went along! 👌

That’s right!!

Hey David. No, we didn’t connect our air con up to go off grid with it. Plus we have AGM batteries. I have heard recommendations that if you do want to connect the air con to solar and batteries, to have it on a totally separate circuit and have a high capacity lithium battery, so you don’t risk losing power elsewhere… Hope that helps

Hi Teresa. Our caravan does have a dust reduction hatch, but we’ve never actually used it. I think it depends on how much off road caravanning you are planning on doing. We did a bit, but mostly was on road, on beach or on dirt - not too much dust. Our car on the other hand…….. 😂

We are super excited as well to head up north!! Haha well try to get some hidden GOT lines in! The music we use is a royalty free subscription service where we select from 1000s of different types of music. It’s tricky filtering through and finding suitable music, but we try to match it as best as possible to the footage!

Hey Pro Street! Yes it is a fan forced oven, but the fan only works when connected to 240v. It’s pretty good tbh - I’ve been baking sourdough bread using it which has been turning out ok. I’ve also made Yorkshire Puddings in it on several occasions which rose beautifully (a challenge at the best of times). I do usually put the temperature slightly (20 deg) higher that normal. Not tried a cake or a roast in it. Hannah ☺️

@@StaycationOz Cheers Hannah, currently searching for our Van, we want an Oven and never even thought of the possibility of Fan Forced until another Nomad spoke to me of the benifate of Fan Forced over Traditional Oven in a Van. (I just assumed all Ovens in Vans were Fam Forced, as I have one at Home). Thanks for getting back, take care!!

No worries. Ours is a Swift brand. Happy to find the model number if you need. Hannah 👍

Thanks for watching Kylie!! We went with a Kiss-Ass 2000w inverter, had been recommended from a few people and it’s been great!!

An inverter allows you to use normal 240 appliances (like toaster, laptop etc) off the caravan batteries, without it, you can only use 12v appliances! Very handy for free camping!

Hi Roz, thanks for watching!! We have 2 solar panels at 170KW and 2 AGM batteries as well!! 👍😀

@@StaycationOz thanks .have fun coming up the West Coast, we live full time on the road, doing a work contract in Hedland at present

Thanks! Really looking forward to the next couple of months!!!
