@@paulhendo8726 Good to hear (or read) that it’s still going strong mate. 😃👍

@@carolynsmith8462 Thanks so much. I thought my ad income had spiked a bit 😃👍. Yeh, some of those hills were tough but it really surprised me just how fit you become doing these hikes every single day. I think even though it was only one month we were so much fitter at the end than we were in the beginning. 😃💪🏽

Thank you. Always nice to get these messages from my number 1 fan. 😃👍

@@carolynsmith8462 Yeh. That was one of my favourite parts of the trip. After walking nearly 400kms it was a nice change to hop on the bikes. 😃👩🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

@@pfitzy849 Thanks Fitz 😃👍

@@SteveAMcPherson Hi Steve. My wife actually booked almost all of our accommodation before we left. We were a little concerned that we’d turn up in a town and not be able to find a vacancy. 90% booked on booking.com and the remaining 10% from direct email. We saw other hikers get turned away and have to walk up to 5km off the main track to get a bed. For me, after walking 5,6 or 7 hours in a day I was relieved to know there was a bed waiting for me. We didn’t go with any group tour, booked it all on our own and saved a fortune. 😃👍

@@TropicalZooms Wow! She has done amazing! How were you able to workout how far you could walk each day and the towns you would walk though? I gather there must be some in-depth maps online?

@@SteveAMcPherson Yes. All my wife’s calculations. Wed try and average 20 to 25km each day but some days were a little shorter and longer. My wife just read the Facebook groups for about 6 months beforehand and read the reviews. We tried to stay on the trail all the time and only went 2 km off track once as we struggled to get accomodation on track that time. Everyone has different ideas but I wouldn’t do it any other way now. 😃👍

@@plato9797 Thanks Mike. All up from start to finish we did over 1 million steps. Pretty stoked 😃👩👍

@@skywalkerallan1877 Jeez I don’t know about that Al. Certainly didn’t break any records. Although maybe went alright for my age division 😃👍

@@vantripinoz369 Thanks so much. Yes Richard’s are always around. I’m not sure if I mentioned it anywhere but all up we walked just over 1 million steps. I think m I dropped about 8kgs all up. Have managed to put 4 back on and seem to be staying there which I think is good. Like you I love a nice coffee and good breaky and certainly did go hungry alot. Thanks so much for watching and the nice comments. Safe travels & looking forward to yours & Linda’s next vid too.

@@TropicalZooms A million steps! That’s Massive . Not to mention losing 8kg. But you’ve created memories to last a lifetime and share with the world.

@@vantripinoz369 Yes. Like yourself it’s nice to be able to look back on memories in vids we’ve made. Also a real thrill to see others enjoying them too. A real buzz to earn a little income too. Hoping to see you hit 1K subs soon. 😃👍

@@TropicalZooms Thanks. Slow and steady

@@garymellor5554 if you go to the Facebook group “Jayco Australia RM20.5 Owners Group. From there message Bruce Munro. He’s an electrician that makes these switches and sends them out with instructions. So much better than the original switch. 😃👍

@@SteveAMcPherson Hi Steve. I didn’t get out much but had nice feeds at the Bowling Club & the pub at the top of the hill looking over the river. 😃

@@TropicalZooms cheers thanks for the suggestions 😀

@@SteveAMcPherson Happy to help. It’s a lovely little town. Have a good trip 😃👍

@@jamesan8156 Thank you. He’s a lovely little fella. 🐕‍🦺😃

@@Camh1968 Hi Cameron The RM20.5 is front wheel drive. My 21 model has a 100 litre water tank and a 50 litre grey water tank which is 150 litres and 150 kgs when full. From memory the total load is around 900 kgs but I’ll check that and get back to you. Yes there is a general list of inclusions but you can select extras which include tow bar, nudge bar, lithium batteries, extra solar panels, diesel heaters and 12 volt fans amongst others. I find that the 2.3 litre diesel climbs quite well up hills. I’ve found myself overtaking most cars towing vans when hill climbing. I haven’t done a lot of tight tight windy hills but the small amount that I have fond I’ve not felt the engine inadequate. Overall I’ve got no regrets & really love this size Motorhome as it’s big enough to live in yet small enough to park at beaches, harbours and in the street when day tripping.

@@TropicalZooms ok thank you. When parked up at these seaside car park locations overnight, do you ever get asked to move on by Council / law enforcement people? And, how well insulated are the walls/ceiling? Is this a FIAT Fucatto chassis ? 6 or 9 speed gearbox? Any disadvantages with the small wheels? Cheers

@@Camh1968 I’ve probably stayed at boat ramps, harbours and little bush parks about 20 times in the three years and never been moved on or warned by any ranger. In saying that we’re always really quiet and never make any noise or leave any mess. I’ve even said gidday to some of the people whose houses I’ve parked in front of at some boat ramps at Jervis Bay. The vans are well insulated all around. Renault motor 6 speed gearbox 2.3 litre turbo diesel 😃👍

@@TropicalZooms many thanks. That’s good info to read. I guess having the ‘goldilocks’ size vehicle just right to fit into a standard parking space makes all the difference I reckon…. 😋

@@Camh1968 Sure does. There’s probably no such thing as the perfect van but I really think this one comes close. We use it as our day tripper do the old saying about being stuck in your holiday site doesn’t happen. We do o have to do a little pack up here & there but it’s only a 10 minute job. I also find that we may not be able to pack everything we want but we can pack everything we need. Oh and 10 or 11 litres per hundred is awesome 😃👍 Also made this review video you may like. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNF0rdiCrZ7KpZ8.htmlsi=QMUybVVM2QOQd_cr

@@daveclarke5512 Hi Dave. Thanks for the positive feedback. Really appreciate it. Yes it makes a massive difference 😃👍

@@vynleshmynle7372 Thanks mate. Will do that next service 😃👍

@@Unmaskedmaster Total ride I think is around 16kms. 😃🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

They sure are. Thanks for watching 😃👍

@@pfitzy849 Thanks Fitz. Working on Part 5 now. 😃👍

@@debbiegibson9744 Thanks Deb. Glad you’re enjoying them. 3 more episodes to go. Hope you’re enjoying your trip 😃👍

@@donnacornell61 Thanks for tuning in again. Stoked you liked it. Two more episodes coming so those bad dad jokes are nearly over 😜👍xo

@@vantripinoz369 Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching another one mate. Let me know if you’re ever passing through & I’ll meet you for that coffee. 😃👍☕️

@@TropicalZooms sounds awesome. We’re passing through around late April on our 7 week trip.

@@vantripinoz369 Perfect. I thinking coffee at the lighthouse 😃👍☕️☕️☕️☕️

@@skywalkerallan1877 Thanks for watching another one mate. 2 more episodes left. Glad u enjoyed tuning in 😃👍

@@elmarwild948 Thanks for watching again mate. Next one in the making now. Stay tuned 😃👍

@@stanprice8988 Glad you got it all sorted mate and happy to help 😃👍

@@andydasgupta3536 I had a look on eBay by typing in “cycle trailer connection” and this came up. I think this may be what you’re after www.ebay.com.au/itm/404470546175?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=jzvpngt_tbu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ShcypYMCSmG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks Al. Yeh, I still love my little GoPro 8. I’m the other way. Use my GoPro a lot and rusty with the drone. I was actually surprised with how much footage I could get on the 256GB mini SD card. At 1080P it gave me up to 10 hours video time. I finished the hike with 3 hours of video footage that I think I’ll condense down to around 90 minutes over about 5 parts. My problem is that I struggle with space on the hard drive to upload. Once I get to about 25 minutes worth of video I get the “disk space full” messages which is why I went down to 30FPS. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind messages of support. Really appreciated 😃👍

@@TropicalZooms yes i see your point with storage capacity probs, 60fps is what i use on all my Drones for smoothness on turns but then its only 25 to 30 mins worth on average per battery.

@@skywalkerallan1877 Yes. You convinced me to do the same & I now run all my movies on 1080P 60FPS with the exception of these Camino vids to try & save some space that I didn’t end up needing anyway by splitting the hike into several parts. I also think that 4K seems like overkill too. When I see 1080P 60FPS on my big screen it seems like a great clear pic and I don’t really think I’d notice much difference if any at 4K which also takes up more room and seems a lot slower to upload. I do however think I see the difference with 40fps as some times I think my vid seems a little flickery with some faster movies scenes. Thanks for your advice & tips mate. Always appreciate them 😃👍.

Yes I believe 4k is such an overkill with 1080p being more than acceptable. 4k is so resource hungry and like you mentioned takes forever to load. With 60fps it takes all the jerky movements out of panning and produces a quality shoot.😊😊

Thanks Mike. Working on part 4 now. Probably going to be 5 parts all up, lotsa bad dad jokes along the way. 😜👍. The videos are longer than the walk. Actually I was surprised that I could fit them all into my little 256gb micro sd card in the GoPro. As a fellow camera kinda guy I saw that at 1080p 30fps the card would hold just over 10 hours of video footage. I just had to charge it every 2nd day. All up I recorded 3 hours of vids which I think will end up using about 90 minutes. 😃👍

@@TropicalZooms I film at that rate also. 4k is super hungry for memory, Plus I need a new GPU for that so I'll be getting that soon. But I find the resolution at 1080p 30fps is more than enough and acceptable.

Yeh. I missed our Aussie Tucker Deb. Hope you’re enjoying your trip. 😃👍

Yeh. I think our main problem was the closing of most kitchens from about 3pm to 8pm. We wouldn’t get to a lot of places until 3ish and then be asleep by 8pm after all the walking. Lucky we had a good breaky most days. Also bought snacks along the way which was what we ended up having for dinner. Still a great adventure even though we struggled with the food. Debbie. 😃👍

Yes. We were given block out shades that attaches to the front windscreen and side windows with suction cups. Blackens the cabin area really well. 😃

I love that you love them champion 😃👍

Always stoked that you enjoyed it. Just about finished part 4 which is the one where we rode the ebikes and so much fun. Probably send it through next week. 😃👍

Hi Mark. Thanks so much for tuning in and the kind words. I took a lot more footage than I recall. I think it’ll end up being a five part collection. Looking forward to some Motorhome trips again too. 😃👍

@@TropicalZooms Great, I'll look forward to the other episodes. We've just come back from Kingscliff and Broken Head. I'll have new drone footage etc going up later this week with more to follow. It's a great time to be out whale spotting.

@@vantripinoz369 I’ll be tuning in when you upload. Hope you enjoyed the trip. 😃

It sure is. :-).

Bread Camino my friend. Great to hear from you. So awesome to hear that you not only made it to Santiago but powered on to the coast. Great effort champion 😃👍

@TropicalZooms thank you both for helping me get my legs and spirit back.... if it wasn't for my Camino angels like you guys.... I wouldn't have made it to Santiago or go on to Finisterre ... thank you ❤🙏🏾

I hope not to see any more sausage pillows again. Thanks for loving it. Nice to hear (or read). Part 3 on Monday. 😃

Thanks Carolyn. Stoked you liked it. Hope you enjoy part 2 just as much. I’ve actually finished part 3 which will viewable on Monday. Working on Part 4 now. 😃👍

Thanks Gilly.Yes that’s where those crazy people run and get squished by the bulls. I think the same crazy people invented that silly sausage pillow. Crazy stuff. 😃👍

Thanks for tuning in again. Really appreciate the kind feedback 😃

Thanks so much. Really glad you enjoyed watching 😃

Thanks mate. Actually we noticed a lady driving in a little Motorhome similar to the 20.5. As it turned out her husband was walking the Camino and she was driving ahead to the end of day destination providing their own accomodation. I reckon she’d have dinner & everything ready by the time he arrived. 😃👍

Thanks Dougie. I thought you’d get a chuckle out of “Bread Camino”. Good to see you last night too 😃👍

That sounds like a great idea Deb. We had more fun than we expected and loved the experience. See you soon 😃👩👍

Thanks Allan. 800kms in 30days. Dropped about 7kgs s as long the way too. 😃👍. I was actually really impressed with my little go pro 8. I put a 256GB SD card in it at 1080p 30FPS which gave me up to 10 hours of video time. I finished the trek with nearly 3 hours of footage that I’m slowly editing into 15 to 20 minute vids. 😃👍

You have achieved a super human effort to cover 800klms on foot.

@@skywalkerallan1877 Thanks mate. It was definitely quite challenging at times. We also enjoy looking back through the vids and seeing things that we’ve already forgotten. Kinda the whole reason I began KZfaq creating. Just nice seeing others enjoying the vids too. 😃👍
