Glad you enjoyed this part of SA, its incredible, Such a shame you didnt get to the Point Drummond swimming hole, its slightly right of the beack you drove on aand has access from the end of the dirt road looking onto the beach, it has stairs and you can walk down to it.

Sometimes these things are so easy to miss, I think we saw that there was a little swimming spot there after we left, but we still really enjoyed the beach down there. SA is definitely a hidden gem we think. Not talked about any where near enough.

Is your 3.5t hitch limiting your capacity or making these numbers. Would a good old tow ball 4.5t hitch change everything. NSW truck licence alcohol isn’t zero it’s 0.02. Can’t talk for any other states. Obviously zero is the way to go. This whole weight thing is very scary. Awesome post cheers.
@AussieFamilyLiving Ай бұрын
Hi Geoff. Our hitch is just a 3.5T hitch but that’s because our van is only a 3.5T van so there is no need to have anything bigger. Having a 4.5T wouldn’t have changed the numbers because we were still over our GVM. In the end we were within our weight limits though. Glad you got something out of the video. Happy travelling ☺️

Hi guys…only just watched this video and I wanted to say firstly…what a beautiful family and it’s so special to get all these wonderful experiences at this stage of your lives. Well done for taking weights seriously. This was an excellent video with lots of great information….thanks for sharing. I have an LC200 with a GVM/GCM upgrade and also a stage 2 which enables 4t towing capacity plus 400 kilo tow ball weight. So I loaded tools etc in the car to make it heavier and the van lighter. Got a mobile weigh bridge out to weigh my setup and all good…………except the rear axel😫120 kilos over. Anyhow with a bit of effort (which you are well aware of) it’s all good now. It’s so important to know what’s happening. You guys went to the effort of sharing this on KZfaq and have no doubt helped plenty of others. Good on you. Hope you are enjoying your adventures.

@matthewh8005 4 ай бұрын
Great video showing how easy it is but it looks like you dropped 300k-ish on a 1500 and caravan and did no research at all into what you should/ could tow with it? The 1500 (or any yank tank for that matter) are GREAT towing vehicles... in the US. They are garbage here because they are derated to suit our ridiculous license laws and it makes them borderline useless for anything other than a trip to the beach. The F150 only has a payload of 600 and something kilos! Your ball weight alone eats half of that weight. Chuck in a tank of diesel and two adults and you cant take the kids, seats etc. I love the yank tanks, I want a 2500 but Im going to get a 3500 (or rerate the 2500) and my LR licence because they are as useless as tits on a bull here. But really good video showing just how easy it is to cock it all up. Thank you for putting yourself out there and showing others how easy it is to be overweight

If they had a stock GVM upgrade (tough dog or Lovells) for the DT we probably would have got it, it would have meant that we could have taken more in the tray of the car.

@@AussieFamilyLiving can I ask what you thought of the caravan ? Is It too big for one person? Looked pretty spacious
@AussieFamilyLiving 8 ай бұрын
We have a 22ft van which for a family of 5 quickly feels small when we are all inside. But it has everything we need including a bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. It also has a full kitchen with oven and full size fridge. It really depends on what you desire. Ours has a lounge with table and queen size bed. There’s plenty of cupboards for storage. If you’re confident towing then I’d personally love the space as a single person but it might be too big? Definitely check a few out to gauge how you feel before committing to one. Hope this helps.

I really love the episode guys and I'm a new Australian citizen so keen to know where to live next year when I move over. Can I ask your honest opinion on Denham and what you thought of the place whether you prefer it to Carvarnon -- is it somewhere you could live permanently?. Im semi retired and love fishing! Btw whatsthe caravan make ? Looks awesome for me solo !
@AussieFamilyLiving 8 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for your feedback, we really enjoyed our time in Shark Bay, the National park blew us away with its beauty! However it is very remote, although brilliant for fishing I’m sure. It depends what you require, medical appointments would be easier in a bigger sized town or city. Checkout the population statistics, we really loved Carnarvon and have another video about our time there if you’d like to compare places. Denham is very small with only a few shops so things will be more expensive too. Still an absolutely great part of the world 🗺 our van is a JB Caravans Dreamline Platinum. Again depends on what you need, on road or off road van etc. goodluck with the move to Australia!

Unfortunately, most vans and tow vehicles out there are overweight, and they don't find out until they try to make an insurance claim. Good on you for going through the process to find out upfront. My guess is that it also must include people travelling in the car? PS - this is why I went with a motorhome based on a truck chassis as I knew I would end up going overweight.
@AussieFamilyLiving 9 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for that, it was important to us. Can totally understand your reasoning for a motorhome, it’s not easy to sort out weights but well worth the effort. Yes the calculations need to include the weight of all people travelling when towing. Cheers and safe travels!

What a pain and inconvenience warranty causes when it is basically your family home. I have had my motor home 12 months and touch wood, have never had anything go wrong with the exception of a double power point that I had to replace. Built by an individual engineer on the Gold Coast, as it seems that the big builders just don't care anymore about quality and/or warranty. If anyone wants the name of the builder happy to supply if the content owner is ok with that. Unfortunately, with any repairs today you need to be onsite while the repairs are taking place which is not practical.
@AussieFamilyLiving 9 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment. Couldn’t agree with you more! That would be ideal if you could be present when work was undertaken. Very happy for you to share the name of your builder here for others to know about, we really do believe that people like that should be rewarded with lots of business and accolades . It’s so refreshing to hear stories like yours where nothing needs sorting except ongoing maintenance which people are willing to accept as part and parcel of ownership. Wishing you the best for your future travels.
