It is a lovely spot to holiday isn’t it! Camping in tents is still allowed near the headland during select NSW and Queensland school holidays. Thank you very much for watching the video and for telling us about your happy experience there.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 Good to see the place has remain in it's natural state. No developers moved in to spoil it. I must tell you I went every morning down to the rocks and collected oysters for breakfast. I must have had around fifty oysters every morning. Thank you for the memories. Travel well you two.

Thank you Keith. I appreciate your feedback very much.

Thanks Keith. I am glad you enjoyed watching them.

Hi Keith. I am sorry I haven’t released any videos on RUclips for a very long time. Some of my reasons are: Unfortunately I have not been on an adventure since my trip to Kingscliff. I lost all my videos and original footage when I did an update of my video editing software and this discouraged me from editing. I have access to new video editing software but I haven’t had time to learn it yet due to study and work commitments. I had major trouble with my motorhome’s fuel injectors a few months ago which cost me almost $5,000 and It still needs a service before I can take it on a road trip. I hope to go for a trip before this year ends and will take my camera and record it. Also, last year my Mum got cancer and my Dad has had multiple serious health issues which resulted me in staying close to them.

Hello. Thank you for your enquiry and your kind words. I haven’t been on any more travel adventures since I made this video back in 2019. Multiple reasons for the delay, e.g. serious health issues for my Mum and Dad, motorhome issues and delays in repairs, work changes for me etc. I hope to go on a new adventure this year and will video it and provide a further explanation then. Thanks so much for sticking around.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 God bless you and your dear parents, I was hoping you were OK in these uncertain times. Sounds like the motor home is a bit of a 🍋 lemon. Look forward to your adventures when you are free to travel again. Please take care. ❤

I had another bad fall less than 12 months later and injured both my arms and the ribs on the right hand side. Xrays revealed that I had broken six ribs when I fell out of the motorhome. It took about five months for the pain to go away. I’m better now though. Thank you for your kind words and thanks for watching.

Hi Nixie. I am glad you have found the information helpful. It sounds exciting about your possible Coogee motorhome purchase! It is about the same age as mine. My advice with this model would be to check the slide-out at the bed to make sure it functions properly and the rubber seals are in good condition etc. and there is no where water can get in through the slide-out. Thanks for watching and happy travels.

Hi. My Dad’s back is healing well, although he had another fall last week and hasn’t been to the doctor for a check-up since. Thanks for enquiring about him. Unfortunately I haven’t travelled anywhere for ages, since my last video and currently have no content that would be interesting to post on RUclips. Everyone living in my area is in lockdown now due to Covid. I am looking forward to being able to travel again in the future.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 …even the comments show we enjoy your commentary and editing. Any updates are good, even being stuck at home etc, thoughts family update etc.

Robert Sheridan. Thanks for watching my video and commenting. I am sorry to hear of all the problems your friend has had with her Winnebago and hope all issues are sorted out soon under warranty. It is terribly disappointing to pay so much for a motorhome and have problems with it! A couple of years ago I was talking to a man staying at the Alstonville Showground, who had a Winnebago Whitehaven motorhome which he had bought new from a dealer in Sydney. He said he had had all sorts of problems such as the microwave crashing down out of the cupboard the first time he drove it, the fridge not working (I can’t recall the other issues). I also came across a couple with a new Sunliner motorhome who were waiting for their motorhome to be repaired through their insurer. Their motorhome was leaking badly from the roof where the vehicle cabin and house joined. I’ve been fortunate to have had no issues with my Iveco vehicle to date (fingers crossed). Apollo (Brisbane factory) repaired my motorhome’s slide-out which was leaking very badly last year. It was out of warranty but they repaired it at no cost under goodwill so I have no complaints about their service.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 Thank you Mez, she has the exact same model as yours. It is so sad that there are businesses and people out there that prey on people like this. I have never been on a site like this, l found it and decided to highlight her problems, hoping it might get others that are experiencing the same issues she is having to say something about it. I certainly didn't mean to steal your thunder. You keep safe and look after yourself. Regards Robert

Wolfy Thanks for watching.

Hi Elizabeth. Thank you very much for watching and subscribing! I bought my motorhome three years ago; you may like to look at this site www.apollorvsales.com.au/Our-Range/Winnebago, for current prices of Australian-made Winnebagos.

Hi Carole. I’d had the motorhome for two years and three months when the slide-out malfunctioned. Unfortunately, after the slide-out motor was replaced, it started leaking badly! (water flooded inside through the slide-out every time it rained!). My motorhome went in and out of repair shops for about five months before it was finally repaired and I could use it again. It was a nightmare! Because of my experience, if I was looking at buying another motorhome, I would not consider one with a slide-out. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve heard a few nasty stories about motorhome dealers not fixing things when things go wrong. I hope the company looked after you with the leak. After all it’s a lot of money and you should expect that it lasts a long time with no problems. Thanks again for your reply and good luck on your adventures. 😊

Carole Fitzgerald Thank you. The manufacturer repaired the problem under ‘goodwill’ even though it was out of warranty, so no complaints. The delays to get it repaired were partly due to closures due to the Corona Virus.

Hi Annette. Thank you very much for watching and for your lovely comments. Will you be travelling on the coast road all the way or inland too? I took my parents on a road trip from Brisbane to Port Douglas a few years ago. It was a nostalgic trip for us as we lived in North Queensland when I was young and we visited the places we had lived. We travelled by the coast and loved every minute of it. Lots of great scenery. Have fun planning your holiday - I am excited for you.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 Hi Mez we are planning just coastal all the way then a week in sydney when we get there.I know its a way off yet but lots to plan and motorhome to sort out, yours is lovely x

Thanks Matt.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for subscribing, watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching

C Payne thank you for your lovely comments, you made my day! Sorry for the delay in videos. My motorhome has been parked in my parents driveway, except for multiple trips to various repairers, since February, due to two bad water leaks (one leak is in the bed slide-out). It is off to the factory again today for some further work!

Hi Donna. Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching.

Magical Megan. Thanks very much for watching and your nice comments. I hope you have a great time staying there again.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 Thanks! 😁 Always nice to help someone out! 😊

Tammy Starr. Hi Tammy. What a serious fall you had! I’m glad you have recovered from your fall but am sorry you have osteoporosis (it’s good that you know though). I think I must have become accident prone as I had another fall in February this year. I tripped face down on a concrete path and injured my right ribs and both arms and left wrist. I had a chest X-Ray which showed no new rib fractures and 5 healed rib fractures (from the fall from my motorhome). Luckily my right arm wasn’t broken (just an effusion in the elbow and swelling which prevented me from being able to straighten my arm for a few months). I couldn’t drive my motorhome. Thank you for watching my videos; I am very happy you enjoyed watching them. Do you already have a motorhome or are you planning to buy one in the future?

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 wow sorry to hear you had more accidents 😯. I am 51 now and planning to buy a motorhome at 60 years old. So I have plenty of time to reasearch about them. And will go to all the camping Expos too 🙂⛺🚐

Hi Donna. Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching my video.

Thanks for watching, Shane. I’ve never sat in the back myself because I’m always driving. My Mum doesn’t like sitting in the back as she says it’s too noisy! My Dad is deaf so can’t hear the rattles 🤣!

Hi Sheila. Thanks for watching and commenting. The current prices for Winnebago motorhomes similar to mine can be found at apollorvsales.com.au

Hi Bronwyn. My favourite things about my motorhome are: the large en-suite with lots of cupboards, the open floor plan with its white and light colored decor and large windows and fixed beds. The not so good things are: limited external storage space. There is no where to store an external ladder or a generator. There is storage space under the bed but it isn’t very deep. I also use the bed over the cabin to store items. It would be good to have more space in the dining/seating area.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 thank you, your comments are so helpful and I really appreciate the time and effort you've taken to provide this info for others - like me. :)

The weather in Australia is currently really hot and sunny (December 22). I hope you have a really happy holiday and safe travels.

Matt, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate your comment.

Hi guys. Thanks for your concern. I have a bit of a dodgy knee. My ribs are still paining a little but are much better, thank you. My mum and I chuckled over your driving lesson comment 😂. You made our day 😍.

Making Memories Along the Road Glad we could help in some small way. ☺️

Hello Peter and John! It is always lovely to hear from you. It makes my day! My Dad is okay. I asked him to come on the trip but he told me "No, I think I would be better off staying at home"! He has problems with his balance (he gets dizzy and finds it hard to walk). Yes, WikiCamps is very helpful. To date, I've used the WikiCamps app the most. I joined the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia a few months ago and their app has even more camping sites listed as it also includes RV parks that give discounts to club members and low cost sites which are available to members, e.g. staying on club members properties. Thank you very much for watching!

Paddypaws Production We love you, and your videos, Mez, and we’re so happy to hear that your Dad is okay, even if not feeling up to hitting the road with you and Mum. We’ll be interested to hear how your trip didn’t go as planned. Hope it wasn’t anything serious.

RVgeeks I love you too!

Yes! We were surprised how nice it is. Thanks for watching! Your RUclips channel looks really interesting. I can’t wait to watch your videos.

Thanks for checking it out. We really appreciate it.

Wayward Waggs. Hi. I’ve watched some of your videos and enjoyed them. Your rig is beautiful. You’ve done a great job with it.

Thank you. We really appreciate it.

im going there in 4 days, i super exiteddd

It's lovely to hear from you. Did you get time to visit the Sandstone Hotel and Bribie Island when you were there? The hotel opened in 2015. Yes, the park we stayed at is new; it opened in November 2018.

@@makingmemoriesalongtheroad2273 Great to hear from you too, Mez! 😊 Unfortunately, we weren't in the area for long. We just stopped to dump tanks, refresh resources (food and fresh water) and keep heading south. 3 weeks to RV from Port Douglas to Sydney wasn't NEARLY long enough. We definitely have to come back for at least several months next time!

RVgeeks Thank you for watching my videos. You two are the nicest guys! 😘

Yes, the same spot! I thought of you! I re-watched your Cape Byron episode yesterday and really enjoyed it again.
