We are a couple who will soon be joining the world of retirement. In preparation for stepping into this next facet of our lives, we have joined the motorhome community so as to travel Australia for the next few years. Initially, we will be concentrating on the NSW region whilst we finalise our working lives. After that, it will be wherever the sun shines brightest.
There is a plethora of caravan and 4WD RUclips clips and Instagram stories to be found on the internet, however, ours will be concentrating on motorhome life in our Jayco Conquest FA 25-3.
Our original intent was to travel with our dog and cat, however, life got in the way and we sadly had to say goodbye to our puppy as she climbed over the rainbow bridge before she was able to enjoy our adventures with us. Our feline fur kid will still be joining us though and will be included in our adventures at every opportunity.
We will endeavour to answer all comments posted on our channel.

Well done guys, i loved the addition of your tiles, it looks so good. Great save of the video by adding the audio afterwards.
Thank you.🩷 When I first played the video I said a lot of choice words! 🤣
Looks very nice.did it give you much static walking on it?
Thank you. Neither of us has encountered any static at all.
This looks like a great place to visit. I can't believe the amenities at the Caravan Park - they look like a hotel!
There's plenty of things to see and do in BH. The amenities were amazing!
You coming back soon we miss your videos
Yes, we are. We've had a lot happening since we started full-time travel in October. First, Michelle had emergency eye surgery which held us up a few weeks months and she couldn't drive, use laptop etc. All good there now. But recently we farewelled our cat, Pasko. 😭 Hoping to get some videos out soon. 🤩
Many thanks for your reply so sad to hear about your pussy cat .Yeah we love your videos and I'm super jealous of your leveling system it's so good.Stay safe from Bill and Cheryl .
just curious, how much weight did the Redfoot add to your motorhome
The hydraulic system is about 85 kgs.
Just met these lovely couple kiddos to both
@lenaupham9364 Thanks Lena. Hope to see you on the road one day 😃😘
Hi Guys, Have you started your lap?? Regards, Dave Davedani Downunder
@DaveMitchell-q7d We started a month ago but got held up in Sydney for emergency surgery (for Michelle). All good and we're northward bound to Qld. (Got heaps of videos to do too!)
@passynby I hope Michelle and you are ok now, enjoy your trip, you have one hell of an adventure ahead of you!!
@DaveMitchell-q7d I'm on the mend slowly. Now that we've finally left the Port Stephens, it feels really! Yay.
I finally got round to looking you guys up! I list the piece of paper you gave me. I hope your journey is going well. Thanks for the chess set!😊
@yvonnewilkinson4280 bwahaha... glad you're enjoying the chess set 😀
Thanks for the tips
@kelliepadfield9511 Thanks Kellie. Glad you liked them.
❤looks nice and peaceful love you guys
It certainly was Robyn 🩷
Hey Paul & Michelle, We're new to your channel. Looks like youve been testing Maude for a bit now. Have you had any issues with the Fiat motor. We're looking at getting our motor home early next year for the big lap. We just know what make or motor would be best for reliability. Any advice would be appreciated. 🥂🍻
@anthonylane9547 Hi Anthony, Firstly thank you for visiting our channel...glad to have you aboard 🙂 Regards your question, we are very happy with the Fiat motor and have not had any issue with it as yet (hopefully I have not jinxed us). We have found it a very pleasant motor to drive and overall are happy with it. Takes a bit to get use to the European set up though (still turn on the wipers mistakenly at times 😉).
How did you manage to fit the levellers in with the overall weights ? We thought about it but would take us over 4500 kgs
@MsMancans We took the extra 85 kgs into consideration too. So we really went through each cupboard and storage areas and just minimalised everything. For example, reduced my (Michelle) clothes by 6 kgs, got rid of extra manchester, concertina door, etc. We also had the original stabilisers removed. We're under weight. It can be achieved - just take what is absolutely necessary. 😀
Love you guys😂😂
🤩
Gday got you guys now
😀😀
Why did you remove the concertina door?
Kate, we found that with a curtain it adds extra movement area in the bathroom due not bumping into a hard concertina door all the time. There is also the weight issue....Curtains are a lot lighter than the door. Cheers Paul
Please put subtitles on it helps the deaf and hearing impaired
Kate, Apologies...as a hearing impaired person myself I totally agree with you. We thought we already had the subtitles on....no matter, we will definitely rectify the issue. Cheers Paul
I like how you show all the amenities. It’s really helpful.
@averymurphylife If it helps others in making a decision on where to stay...then we have achieved our purpose. 😀
Good video. Just by coincidence this year I have installed both these jobs, the jacks on my van and a diesel heater for a friends caravan. They are both pretty hard jobs but worth it. The jacks we are still learning to use best, and intend to get some pads as well just to help the levelling flexibility on more sloppy ground.
Thank you. Wow, that's fabulous that you could do these jobs. Good on you! We've also got some chocks for extra support.
Thanks for the memories, guys. Love those country towns.
And hopefully more memories to make together. I agree, the country towns have great character and history.
Congrats on hitting 500 subscribers, thats amazing!!!
Thank you so much!

Hey Guys, Have you started your lap of Australia? If so, which way are you planning to travel? Regards, Dave & Dani
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
Would be good if you give the cost P N where you stay.
Noted. Thank you 🙂
Thanks for all the great info. We pick up our 25.3 early next year. Looking forward to our full time travel too.
Thanks Deborah - much appreciated. You'll love your 25-3 - it's a beautiful home on wheels!😀
Sofala was one of the locations used when filming the movie Sirens
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!
Dont give up your day job As i dont find the first part of video funny
Thanks for feedback. We like it! Oh and we don't have a job - we're retired!! :)
In regards to the fire blanket I would have up higher that where it is now.
Good point. Thank you.
What going on with your camera after you got off the chopper? Can wrap is all over the place Enjoyed your videos so far but this one is a 👎
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!
congrats on the Red Foot system guys, that will be so good for you. Not long now until your full time!!! so excited for you.
Thanks so much. I just couldn't believe the difference it made. It's all happening now!
Grenfell looks beautiful, that donation camp is amazing.
It really is! Lots of space and very peaceful.
How much are the flights and how long are you up in the air for?
The flight cost about $600 for 5 minutes.
Just found your channel. I take that the GVM is under 4.5 T so you only need s car license?
Correct. The GVM is 4495 kgs.
Impressed with the Redfoot levellers. How much fitted? Who can fit? Are there approved installers? Thanks.
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!
Diesel heaters are great. Our MH came with one as standard. I wasn’t sure about it initially until we ran it in cold conditions. You only need to run it for 5 minutes to see a big jump in temperature.
Thanks for information. Pasko and I are so looking forward to the warmth of the heater.
Hey Paul and Michelle, I've been watching you guys since you picked up Maude and can't wait to get my MotorHome. You have given me so many ideas of what to look for when i go to purchase mine. I'm not reriting for a couple of years but I've got my list ready with what to have and what not to have. Great job on the removing the concertina. Love the curtains. Can't wait to see your trip around Australia. Cheers Deb
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. We have put curtains in the same places and they work so well, whether it’s hot or cold. I really don’t know why they use those bulky/ heavy concertina doors. We actually put in permanent pole’s which can double as hanging for damp or wet washing at those times when the rain seems never ending. Safe travels 🫶
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.
Great job on the curtains!!!
Thank you!
Paul should wear a funny shirt in every video 😂
It could be the start of a trend!
Love Paul’s shirt 😂
@averymurphylife just doing my bit to promote Derek Zoolanders school for kids that can't run too good 🤪
Hey guys, Dave here from Davedani Downunder. Just wanted to say "All the best on your lap of Australia" You'll love it!!! Cheers Dave
@@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!!
Can't wait to see your trip around Oz.
@glendafaber1245 Glad your enjoying our videos. We're so excited in starting our travels😁
love the curtains, certainly is a weight saver...what was the reason you selected the hydraulic Redfoot system, rather than the electric system... enjoy your lap around...
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. Do you need to park on a very level ground to enable functional use of slide out? How good is the 9 speed Auto transmission? What is GVM? Do you do much off grid camping? Cameron
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.
So far the best video . Thanks for sharing love it .
Thanks for watching. Hope it helps in any small way.
We love your videos ❤ Having a look on WykiCamps, there is no place listed at the railway station to stay overnight. Can you please add it 😊 Thanks Patricia and Richard oh sorry about the ant... oh ant bite! 🐜 😅
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 😂
Time to follow the sun guys, too much ice.
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 guys, thanks for the tips, simple info that's good to find out before we have to make the same mistakes. See you on the road one day and more than happy to share a scotch. 😁
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!😄
great video guys. What a great experience in the hot air balloon. -3 degrees, now that is cold.
Thanks guys. I was clutching onto the phone because my fingers were numb!🤣
Who needs a Drone!?
