Hi Dave and Dani, I'm playing catch up with videos from our Central West trip from a few months back, and still got a few more to do! We start our lap in 10 days!! We're so excited and can't wait to just relax for a while. We're heading north up to south east Qld way and then zig-zagging a bit into NSW. 😀 Wherabouts are you guys at the moment?

@passynby We have just landed in Geralton prior to heading further South to Jurien Bay, then onto Perth. We will clock up 13 weeks on the road this Tuesday, so it's been exciting, but missing home too!!! Regards, Dave

Noted. Thank you 🙂

Thanks Deborah - much appreciated. You'll love your 25-3 - it's a beautiful home on wheels!😀

Thanks for the info. I just did a quick research and 3 movies were made in Sofala ...Sirens, The Cars That Ate Paris (previously mentioned) and Luke's Kingdom. Got to binge watch these movies one day!

Thanks for feedback. We like it! Oh and we don't have a job - we're retired!! :)

Good point. Thank you.

The GoPro was on Paul's chest so we had to duck on leaving the chopper as per instructions and hence why you see the ground and his hands. But we wanted to capture the audio and excitement of it all!

Thanks so much. I just couldn't believe the difference it made. It's all happening now!

It really is! Lots of space and very peaceful.

The flight cost about $600 for 5 minutes.

Correct. The GVM is 4495 kgs.

Yes, I would highly recommend getting them. The hydraulic system cost us $11,900 which included the installation. We went with Redfoot approved installers. Check their website for a full list of installers redfootlevelling.com.au/installers Ours was installed byOut of Town 4WD (www.oot4wd.com.au/) and they were fantastic!

Thanks for information. Pasko and I are so looking forward to the warmth of the heater.

Oh thanks for watching our journey! So glad we could give you some inspiration in any little way. Yep, that concertina door had to go!! Let us know when you get your motorhome. You'll love it! Hope to see you on the road Deb.

Hi ya, I believe Jayco are now doing the curtains as an optional extra (don't quote on that because I'm not entirely sure). Dual purpose rods - good idea!! Thanks. Safe travels too.

Thank you!

It could be the start of a trend!

@averymurphylife just doing my bit to promote Derek Zoolanders school for kids that can't run too good 🤪

@@DaveMitchell-q7d Hi Dave, thank you so much. Hope to catch up with you guys one day.

@@passynby that would be awesome, we're travelling down the Western Australian coast at the moment, but if we get a chance to cross paths, that would be good. Safe travels!!

@glendafaber1245 Glad your enjoying our videos. We're so excited in starting our travels😁

Thank you! And yes, every kilo counts. We were advised by Redfoot that if in our travels we were staying mostly in caravan parks then go with the electric system. But if we were to be more off grid (which we will be) then go with the hydraulic system as it caters for uneven surfaces because each foot is independent. Hope this helps 😀

@@passynby cheers for that....

Hi Camh, Slight slopes are ok however we try and park on ground that is level....you want to be comfortable walking around inside. It is recommended that you use the slideout on as close to level as possible otherwise you may run the risk of the slideout going out of square. 9speed auto is great and is a very smooth rise. GVM = Gross Vehicle Mass which is the maximum weight the vehicle can be at any one time. We try and do as much off grid as we can. We are totally self sufficient so we try and make use of it as much as we can. Thanks for the interest. Cheers

@@passynby hi there. Many thanks for the reply. Can you please confirm the GVM in kg of your MH?

@@Camh1968 Ours is 4495 kgs 😀

@@passynby thank you.

Thanks for watching. Hope it helps in any small way.

Hi Trekkers, glad you're enjoying the videos. We've got quite a few coming soon. I just checked Wikicamps and it's definitely listed. Bloody ant 😂

Bwahaha, and that's why we're getting a diesel heater installed. We'll be following the sun very soon.

I tried installing a Diesel heater in our 2008 Avan Ovation Motorhome, but had no luck finding a suitable location. So I didn't end up installing it. Hope you have better luck!! Cheers Davedani Downunder

Thanks Rod. It's been a while since we did this video and we've learnt so much more! We're gearing up now for full-time travel (late October) so lots of things happening so will catch up with videos soon. Hopefully see you on the road too for drinkies!😄

Thanks guys. I was clutching onto the phone because my fingers were numb!🤣

@@TheGggnome Absolutely 🤣🤣

@@emmad7308 Totally agree with you. It's a great spot.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, we've replaced ours with Maxxis which are rated to 80 psi. And that's exactly what we are trying to say ... look at the tyre not the plate. Thanks for your feedback.😀

Mitchell. No we decided to change the tyres and now have a set with a higher PSI rating.

Just had a response from Michelin through the Jayco group . Apparently the originals are a special Motorhome tyre marked “CP” which are designed to run at 80 psi . For vehicles stood still for a while under weight!! I will forward letter to your facebook. So they are fine and legal .

Thanks for the info Mitchell. I cannot remember seeing the "CP" marking, however, will not deny it was there. It was our choice to change the tyres and we feel that Maude drives a lot smoother now. The main point we are making is for everyone to check their own tyres and make their own decision as to what direction they take.

Steve, not a Jayco issue. It is a Fiat issue. Jayco look after the home portion whereas Fiat are the motor part. We had the service done at a mechanic here in Newcastle..."C Our Mechanics" highly recommend these guys, they are very thorough and take the time to answer any questions asked.

Glad it was helpful!

Oops, our bad. We admit guilt to not being savvy in industrial terminology. 😢😅😙

Totally agree - keep the history going :)

The whole experience was amazing. I agree, the landscape is stunning. Good to hear that your wife loves helo flights too.

Hi Dave, thank you. Glad you're enjoying our videos.

Thanks guys. It is a lovely regional town.

It definitely was a blast from the past :)

@TheGggnome Oh no! Is it because of the noise or you have a phobia?

@@passynby The noise...it is a Grumpy Old Man affliction commonly known as Misophonia.

@@TheGggnome Not good to hear (and no pun intended). They were only noisy late afternoon.

Glad you enjoyed it

@460jade Thanks for reaching out. We're all okay. Maude is fine too. We're back home and madly trying to sell our house contents so I've been a bit slow with the videos. But Cowra will be up tomorrow.

Hi, glad to hear you're enjoying our videos. Thank you. When travelling, we put the chairs on the floor between the bed and cupboards. The table goes into the luton, along with our annex. The Baby Q goes in front of the fridge. But the BBQ can fit in the large outdoor storage box but on an angle. Hope that helps 😀

Hi, thanks for the feedback - really appreciate it. Definitely going to do the pool noodle for the shower hose :) We love Boat Harbour (check out Episode 14). It's our go to place. Enjoy and safe travels.

Look forward to hopefully catching up with you guys on the road. It's a wonderful lifestyle 🙂

Thanks for the information. I'm going to have to watch the movie now :)

Ate Paris.

You will love the Conquest 25-3. Once all the parts were received, Jayco Newcastle were on top of it in no time. I'm not sure if it is a common problem but shite happens and you just have to go with the flow. We are very happy with our motorhome 😀

LOL. I seriously could have gone faster but I was enjoying the view too much!

Absolutely. I went to the Bathurst Races about 30 years and it was incredible, especially the sound!
