Started following you around a few weeks ago. Appreciate the hard work editing to put out the vids everyday. Your fridge has cracked the sealed refrigerant pipes, most likely from the corrugations. The ammonia is the coolant the manufacturer uses in the 3 way fridge. My understanding its a sealed non serviceable item. The brake wires are the same colour at the wheels because it doesn't matter which way you wire them as they are magnets and will work either way. Its nice to have a great bunch of people to travel with. Yes the road is hard but the memories are priceless.

Another great episode guys! Love that you’re keeping it real with the problems you’ve been having! Goodluck for tomorrow 😀

Thoroughly enjoying watching you do the Gibb and don’t think we will

Fantastic videos guys Must be so much work doing it daily but we are loving watching and look forward every morning to watching the latest one. You do a fantastic job Leah, very informative, love your touch of humour you throw into it. Keep safe and look forward to watching more of your adventures

After that sort of day you did so well to get this episode out Leah. I dont think i could of. So hats off to you

Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode of Home Valley Station guys, as my sister in law and brother in law have done some caretaking there, and El Questro over the years. Enjoying the episodes. Safe travels.🤙🥂🍻

Thanks for the daily updates, appreciate the hard work and time to do but fantastic that you are sharing your experiences. Everything is fixable so keep smiling and enjoy the adventure your kids are learning so much through your travels and you are making great friends and memories along the way. 😘

dorry about your fridge issues, I hope you can get it sorted .... I really like your daily updates and love that you keep it real 👌

Did the Gibb last August and did 2 tyres, all of my front suspension, lights loose, bash plates coming off etc, etc.. Total cost was about $5K!

Love watching your videos. Very informative and entertaining. Great to see another caravan with a K8 👍👍

Absolutely loving following your adventures.

Thank you for the tips on the conveyor belt, for protecting pipes . In two weeks time or less you'll sit back with a beer thinking what a epic trip. Excellent videoing editing, keep up the good work job well done.

Awesome Vids Guys, Bring back Memories I did the Gibb and up to Kalumuburu in 1988.

Another great video leah so sad thats happened you poor buggers but keep going and enjoy yourselves

Thanks for the real honest raw report of the Gibb. Answered one question we had and the answer is we can do without that road.

Holy hell! Those are some rough roads but the scenery and the adventure would absolutely make up for it! I have a Franklin with the Dometic fridge like yours so I’m keen to know what failed to see if I can do anything to stop that happening. Rest up and safe travels.

Those baths looked wicked been so long since i had a bath to use glad u enjoyed it been tough going but i do love how you don't sugar coat it raw is best :)

Hi guys, lost for words, that is one expensive holiday and too much stress lol and we are full time nomads and only free camp so most of the time in the bush. Wow just enjoy. Sending good vibes lol.❤

Sorry to hear about the fridge, we've become so dependent on them. I wonder if they fair better in the "full offroad" vans or if corrugations are just corrugations no matter what. Did you know that you can cook damper/scones on a plain old hot plate or in a frying pan? Just make up your favourite damper/scone recipe roll the whole thing into a ball and flatten to about 1&1/2 inches and cook it on medium heat on both sides (until golden brown on both sides). Slice it like a cake and eat it straight off the hot plate, amazing when you haven't had anything like it for a long time on the road.

Arrrr WHAT. they must have put those baths in just after we went there, daaam, & yep, top scones 👍 Hang in there, not far to go. 🤞

Oh gosh, I could really feel for you both on this leg of your journey. What a nightmare of a road and the damage that has been done to all of you. 😢😢 You will be really needing a well earned break at the end of this series. Glad you have not sugar coated any of it. It is what it is. Pity that road is not looked after better, they would get so many more tourists along it. Maybe they don’t want that. Take care.

i just found you guys, loving your work 👌

Well think I will leave my caravan and just take the swag Good luck guys

Hi guys. Love your channel. Keep it going. Awesome

Awesome videos guys! Love following you on your travels!!! ❤

so bloody awesome 👌

Has there been any difference in damage of the vans between the vans with springs and airbags Great watching guys it will be great when you get around to meeting everyone and their experiences

Speechless, Geez...🤭

What a great group of people you are travelling with, can’t imagine doing it on your own. (Although lots do 😳) You might need to organize a 5 year reunion so you can all relive your Gibb adventures and have a good laugh about it.

Wow!!! The road look terrible 😮 Are you aware that there's rain coming, and that the Gibb RR is closed from Tuesday? Just be aware of flash flooding. I'm sure that the stations will let you guys know the latest updates. Stay safe 😊

Lordy Lord guys! What a day for you all! Please know, I'm sure we've all had days like this & you just want it to all end!😢😢 The roads look 10 times worse from when we were there yrs ago. Can't believe they stuffed up your camp bookings. Not good after a shity day of driving. Hope you get to kick back & enjoy your experience there. Keep smiling guys!🍻❤

We drove out to Ellenbrae Monday, the road is definitely better now than it was last year believe it or not.

Obviously looking at this episode my previous comment from your last episode is irrelevant. Beat of luck getting it sorted but still love watching you 👍

Love watching your videos, ❤ which month or months were you there and would you recommend that time of the year. Sorry about your fridge. 😢

Tough day at rhe office.😮

I’m sure you’ll do a wrap up of the trip but looking back over everything….what advice would you give? Bearing in mind the actual and potential damage to cars and vans, going alone vs in groups. I’m sure everyone is keen to hear the leaf spring vs airbag suspension debate too. Really enjoyable viewing and nice editing! Not sure I’ll ever do the road 😅

Gosh, electrical wiring damage the first time, then the coolant leaks the second day. So the fridge is F'd well and truly now! Is your van young enough to be under warranty still? Good time to check and claim. Lower the tyre pressure more I would say. If you are just driving at 20-30kph then lower the tyres to 20-25psi all round. mmm I'll have to put my thinking cap on to find a solution to this issue for when I go over there. Ellenbrae looked awesome. But the baths were a bit steeply priced I think. Would half hour at say $60 be good too? And could you shower off all that dirty water after? Or have to walk around covered in it all day! That's the bit that would cause me to put pause on the whole thing. No clean off shower, no deal! lol Sometimes the corrugations are smoother when going the other way because they were created by vehicles going the other direction. So when you drive on them they smooth down a bit as your tyres go over them. But of course, you are playing with fire because you are on the same side as the oncoming traffic. If you have paid for particular assets to be available at your camp site you are entitled to expect they will be available otherwise you should receive a partial re-embursment. Not go 'oh well its been a hard day on the road so we won't bother asking for power and water'. That's what they are gambling on. That you won't chuck a wobbly. But you are the ones doing the long dusty miles with no fridge, not them. Well a Great NOrthern almost washes the day away, but not quite!! Have a great evening folks. I sure hope tomorrow is better. 😊

Hi Guys, great video, thanks. What type of towing mirrors are you using and where did you get them?

Funniest thing I’ve heard in a while I’ll laugh at this in five years Been 5 years since we got flatbed trailer off the Gibb in 2018. I still can’t 😆. Did it 2013 no issues then 2018 disaster. How tired you must be doing editing every night but a great job. What program are you using?

Greate video, did you have a compressor fridge or 3 ways?

A good time to invest in a Bushman compressor fridge

Even with all your problems at the moment I would still swap your life for mine right now and don’t forget you are making memories that will last forever

What tyre pressures were you running in the car and in the caravan ? 25-30 PSI max is where I would be going, no more. Have done the Gibb twice, once with car/tent and once on my motorcycle, never seen it so corrugated. At this time my son is around Mt Barnett somewhere, so will be interesting to hear how he fared.

You poor buggers.😢

thats what hapoen to our freind frudge cire gone if you replace the fridge get a compressor fridge not three way much better sorry to see what happen but like you said its the gibb just watch out fir the frogs in the toilets at home valley lol enjoy

Bullara station = best scones

What was the cause of the fridge faults? Do you guys have the same vans?
