So glad that you picked up a Vagabondsa trailer! Those things rock and they’ve been built by a man that has so much passion for 4x4’ing and adventure that all his staff seem to now be equally passionate. Looking forward to seeing the next few videos Adrian.

I dig how you went for a small van as a Rookie. I am a fan of "Van Life" more than overland but I have been following your channel since the Jimny. I am glad that you are now doing "Van Life" perhaps you will share some prons and cons on the bakkies as I am torn between a Ranger and a Hilux for a "Van Life". Keep up the good work.

@@RoamOverlanding I actually think a special licence is a good thing, we can legally tow up to our vehicles maximum tow weight with no training whatsoever beyond what it took to get the car licence, it makes for a lot of dangerous drivers when they go straight from the family sedan to a 5 tonne articulated vehicle, and learn on the fly how to control it.
