Emu export is going to lead to chaos.
Haha, You’re not travelling WA without a bush cook or two that’s for sure 🤣
We just got to Quobba and your video came up at Quobba haha what a coincidence.
Haha that’s awesome! Such a beautiful place 🤩
Awesome to see traveling with old rig and old van..Better then all the mod cons , everything that opens and shuts , all other RUclipsrs run with..Well done..
We're pretty happy with our setup and our old van! Sometimes less is more.
10 kilometres to 14 mile? What fuckery is this?
I love it that you guys get by without all the hype and commercialism. You have a great tug and a beautiful van - both doing the job. Also great that you stay away from all the people. I mean we call it "getting away from it all". Very cool.
Thanks! We’re naturally very calm people that love this lifestyle and we’re just showing it how it is. We love our little setup, it’s been great and getting us everywhere we want to go. There’s nothing worse than driving hours into remote locations and parking a meter away from another camper 🫠
@@AsWeWander You guys are my kind of people and if we play our cards right, we will never meet while camping :)
Thanks guys, great as always. Love seeing what you cook on your travels 🌸💕
Thank you! Glad you liked it, this vlog nearly turned into a cooking show 😅
How did it go getting the engineering certificate for the drawbar / chassis
What tools did you use to remove all the old mastic I brought a blue wheel because it was recommended but no way am I using it seems to aggressive??
Also what grit paper did you use I was thinking 125?
I just used a paint scraper and mineral turps, it took awhile and there’s probably easier ways to do it but I got there eventually. I think it was 180grit paper I use for a light sand before cleaning and painting
I was wondering how you ran the new cabling to your lights, fans etc? I don’t recall you taking wall sheets off to be able to run a lot of new wires in the walls??
It was a mission and I should have filmed it 😅 a lot of it I just ran through the cabinetry and if I needed to go up the walls i used the old cables as a draw wire or made a hole where I wanted the fan/switches and dropped a cable down, just check there’s no cross bars in the way
@@AsWeWander ok thanks for clarifying this !
I have seen you have had this now for a few months and have done some travelling in some hot weather. How has the unit performed as we are setting up a camper very similar and want a good a/c setup
We have been using it but on the really spicy days in full sun it doesn’t cool the entire van and it’s because we’re not insulated but we just put the unit in front of us and it cools us down. It works better at cooling the van at night so we can sleep comfortably. Surprisingly we’ve used it a lot as a heater which works well at heating the entire van
W.A. is the biggest nanny state in Oz. They do nothing in the name of recreational pursuits. We are being systematically locked out of our own country areas. Welcome to country... what a load of crap.
Lovely Ep and setup and spots guys. IT's also Illegal to free camp outside designated free camps
Thanks for watching! This one is a camp, lots of people stay 😄
@@AsWeWander no worries
*the cooker - “we keep it in there for looks” and it is just completely snapped off had us in stitches. Another great video and you managed to capture the best sunsets, hope you guys are travelling safe and hope Ocie wasn’t in too much pain ❤ sending our love 🙌🏼
Thank god that cooker has been gone for a while now 😂
Love you guys. All of your content is awesome to watch - your beautiful family, our amazing country, your wagon and van set up, even what you cook on the road… Thank You 🙏👌🌸
Oh thank you! This means the world to us, we love sharing our travels 🤎🤎🤎 thank you for watching
Where did you buy your cables, fuse box, lugs etc from?
We got the cables and fusebox from jaycar and the lugs from A1 battery pro.
Nice to meet you guys in Rainbow the other week 🌈
Thanks for stopping and saying hello it was great to meet you. You motivated me to edit some more videos after our chat
Hi Guys. I watched this video when you first uploaded it, I was going through warranty with my DCDC40 at the time and was happy to see the system has treated you well. Itechworld were very good with my issues and replied to all my emails within 15min. I got a replacement DCDC40 no problems and the system was running perfectly. 3 weeks later the new one has also died. I'm pretty bummed. I see you have the same charger. I know you're sponsored by them so I'm not convinced i'll get an accurate answer, but thought its worth asking anyway. Have you had an issues with your DCDC40? Or have you heard of people having issues? Right now the issues aren't really a drama, but next year i'll be doing a lap of Aus and the last thing i want is it to fail in the middle of nowhere. Cheers, Tim
Hey Tim, oh no that’s annoying that the charger has died on you. Even though the products were sponsored we’d never not share our true opinion on the products or how they are performing. We’ve been really lucky to have no issues at all with our own system including the DCDC40. I hope you’re having luck with them replacing the second one? Have they said what it might be?
@@AsWeWander That’s good to know. Maybe I’ve just been unlucky. They have been really good and already have a new one in the post. I saw online that someone had the same issue as me around the same time as my first one. I’m thinking there may be a bad batch. Anyway, stoked to hear how your system performed. We are counting down the months now before we head off. Cheers.
Did you add any insulation behind the rear wall that you replaced?
Nah not much point with a poptop and glass windows
Thanks why did you not paint the front of the van are you going to be checker plating it?
@@ProspectorShaun we planned on doing a vinyl padding but still haven’t gotten anyone to make it yet 😅 hopefully soon
Don't you mean Frazer Island
@@johnfairweather3178 it’s called K’gari now (the k is silent) which means paradise and that describes the place better than some blokes name.
@@AsWeWander quite happy to all it "the Fraser coast" @ 01:50 though... I guess woke shit when it suits hey....?
@@rp3874 I don’t get caught up to much on this and that, the island is back to its traditional name and the area is called Fraser coast. It doesn’t matter what people think of me saying the names of places I just like to film the beautiful places we go.
that's really odd that the 12ht is getting hot. that's not normal. fantastic videos guys! really well done
@@CrumpShane1 thank you! Yeah we worked out the fan hub wasn’t working at 100% so we replaced that and now it’s handling the hot days perfectly fine
Shes really pretty but ive got no idea what shes saying 😂
Awesome video guys and thanks Luke for sharing so much information and to have real time stats and numbers as high as them is unbelievable. Just shows what products are great to use and stand with companies with quality gear 🤙🏽
Thanks guys! Yeah the numbers blew us away we couldn’t be happier with the gear and the whole setup has been a dream 🙌🏼
How do you connect the solar blanket panel to the system? Through the dc dc charger? I also bought your system, havnt installed yet
Yeah we ran the solar input on the dcdc charger to an external anderson plug. Nice! Such a good kit 👌🏼
Interior colors and materials very relaxing, overall very nicely done, enjoy yourselves
Thanks so much!
I just happen to have installed the exact same system (incl. extra solar panel) and you have made my day! No matter how much research u do, actual usage over a period of time is the ultimate test. Thx for sharing, I now have actual (awesome) numbers for any nay-sayers! Happy Travels…. Ps I’m about to by an induction cooktop and fridge…. BTW, what’s ridge are u running? Cheers, Andy
That’s awesome! We’re glad we made your day, there’s no better test than what we’ve put this gear through. The fridge is the Thetford DE105 COMPRESSOR REFRIGERATOR - 105L. We like this one because it’s got the biggest freezer for its size, been great and running no stop for 14 months but you do need to defrost the freezer frequently. Thanks for watching
👍👍👁️👁️😎😇🐕🦺❤️🇦🇺
Gooday guys. I've been watching your build series for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. I'm doing a grand tourer poptop and you guys have saved me days of wondering and pondering so thankyou.. I have a question from left field though if i may. My wife and i grew up in mac town during the 60s and 70s and we both think Mrs as we wander is a spitting image of a childhood friend of my wife, so if i may, was your mum/ gran named Jan and by chance did she grow up in Forgan st? sorry if this seems a bit strange but wowsers you are like a trip back in time when we see you on our screens..
hey there! Jess here, sorry that's not me I must have a lookalike. I grew up down in Melbourne. I am glad the videos have been of help :)
@@AsWeWander ill send you a photo one day when i think of it. The resemblance is uncanny and in a good way too. Thanks for the reply and for the great viewing.
Did I miss the bathroom?
The toilet is under the couch we just forgot to show it and we had an outdoor shower
You guys are like a duplicate of my boyfriend and I 😂 everything from Jess swearing like a sailor (literally same) and Luke grunting in the morning (sooo my boyf).
So helpful thanks
Hi mate, it all looks great butt if something does go wrong and yes it’s Sod’s Law you need a back up. You wouldn’t take your family on a trip without a spare wheel would you? So why not carry a bottle of gas just in case something does go wrong. Good luck Jon WA
Hey mate can you send the link for plug that you need for the back of the fridge
nice but be careful of leaches if its wet
Hey guys, I know I’m a few years late lol love this interior and wondering if you can remember what the fabric was and colour etc that you used for the seat cushions? Love it 😍
It was from Warwick fabrics and it’s called Eastwood, colour is fawn
@@AsWeWander lovely, thank you :)
For chrissakes, if you're going to do an unboxing and review of this thing, find a space with better lighting than the inside of your dark camper!
We live in our camper bud, maybe try turning up the screen brightness ;)
@@evanggelo1 sad guy
Yep. The net attracts these weirdos. Nice review; thanks.
do you know the name of the camp you stayed at on the west coast, on the cliff ?
What did the diving wall cost roughly please guys?
I have some damaged interior walls that I would like to repair and paint but the material is very thin and I'm not sure what to use for the repair. Any advice?
Hey guys! Are you able to detail your kitchen so I can go to Ikea and ask for the same thing please!
It looks like you have retained the original ac? If so do you power it with an electric motor when you aren’t driving.
That Put it in, put it in, Put It Innnnn! Was hot!
how loud is the fridge noise? I'm looking for a fridge to put under my bed on my van
Curious to know your thoughts on doing something similar on a semi truck. I wont have said truck until September, but running hot water would be amazing
Gday guys, Don't suppose you have tried it as a full time freezer? We're looking at installing one in our van as a dedicated freezer but sometimes these fridges don't quite get as cold as they state, and you will end up with mushy ice cream. Cheers guys
Hey! Yeah we have actually, we went off grid for a week and used it as a freezer during that time. It got down to -16c but it took a few days to fully freeze and get down to that temp. So would just suggest turning it right down prior to filling it up, but adding already frozen items would be sweet. The back of the drawer stays a lot colder too so we just kept things like ice cream at the back and it was fine. No mushy ice cream here 😁
@@AsWeWander sounds sort of promising , cheers guys!
Love you two ❤
Hi. Did you need to get the ATM and GTM increased? If so how did you go with the DIY version. Thanks
Hey, we didn’t change any of the weights that it already had on the rego so nothing needed to be done.
Epic setup guys🔥
Thanks! ☺️ we’re loving the drawer fridge it really makes the whole space more useable 🙌🏼
How is it for ventilation?
It’s been good, there’s a 10mm gap all the way across the top of the fridge and it’s not boxed in at the back so it can vent up the back of the seats.
Rock On guys Excellent choice on your draw fridge they are grate.
Yewww! Yeah we are loving it 😀
