Amazing footage thank you .

Hi this is just the video I needed very very informative 🤗 I have a few questions ….we’re from the uk and will be doing the Tanami road from Alice to halls creek to get to el questro station…..we’re be doing the road in 2 days….we’re new to this camping game so we’ve hired a 4wd roof top camper hilux which I’m sure qualifies for the Tanami…..so do you need a permit to drive from Alice to halls creek ? Is there a border crossing when you cross into wa ? If so where to purchase the permits from ? Will be staying at tilmouth camp site for sure then a big drive to get us near halls creek but no idea any suggestions ? Will be doing the Tanami in very early august this year. Thanks for sharing the video I enjoyed watching it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And thank you for your time. 🤗

Courageous effort with a big van 1st time and always learning Yes 18-20 psi for soft sand especially with a big van,,,,,, Did really well getting that far not being in 4WDL .... Its great on the harder sand hahah Good Vid guys

Thanks for putting the video out. We plan to do the Tanami Road next year, we need to estimate how much fuel we need, are you able to provide how much fuel you used from the first fuel stop on the Tanami.

Good video. I've been as far north as Blinman but you have convinced me to go to Arkaroola and Innaminka. Cooper Creek ends up in Lake Eyre by the way.

Hi Jim and Wendy. Just sent you an email with what I did to cover my water inlets, Happy travels :)

Sounds great! Enjoy that!

Looks like a great trip and we’ll look forward to seeing your adventures, what is the box next to the outdoor kitchen?

Hi Jim… just watched this. I am now going to find further videos from you. I think the rear axle is the weakest link for most setups. My LC200 was over by 120 which I have been able to address. I also had my caravan re rated to 4t and this, combined with the Lovells stage 2 got me legal. Anyhow….thanks for the great video which was most informative and enjoyable. I hope you are enjoying your travels in your beautiful Zone.

Mate, that bung plug is a great idea! Outstanding.

Happy St Patricks to you too Jim. Great midge proof ideas.We pick up our Peregrine in 25 days , thanks for sharing your knowledge ...and trips.

We've joined the Zone Family, We collected our Sojourn from Coolum early December but are upset with the flyscreens but apart from that, great van

G'day Jim & Wendy. Thanks for all the work that you put into this and all your videos. They're great watching! Myself and wifey are saving for a Zone in about 18 months time. I'm guessing your previous vans had external audio speakers and by the looks of it, the Zone does not. Question, do you miss the external speakers and do you just use a portable bluetooth (or similar) now?

Did the Smeg toaster come with the van?

How did you overcome your rear axel weight issues from earlier this year ?

Greta video guys. Enjoyed it ❤️

Belated post ….Just back in the West after 4 months traversing the GCR, up to the Cape, touring Qld north of the 26th, and back home down the Birdsville towing our upgraded 4000 ATM 2008 Supreme Territory. Saw a lot of Zone’s so your post was of interest. Coincidentally our pre-departure check weighing would have been about the same time as yours. Feel for you, as we had previously confronted similar issues … back when we discovered that despite our best efforts our much loved near new BT-50 for all its virtues was not going to be up to legally coping with the van, even at its then lesser original ATM when all the essentials and a few creature comforts were loaded. So with what do we now tow it? Having been bitten once by misguiding sales prattle, we paid much closer attention to the maths in achieving a legal outcome. Whilst also a real estate agent, happily I hold a truck license from farming days past which proved to be pivotally important. We now travel and tow now with a F-250 6.7L Super Duty, which is licensed from new as a light truck opening the way to have it licensed at its full load capabilities, thus not restricted to under 4.5T for non truck drivers. However, even with that advantage if you load 400kg (10% of the vans ATM) on to the 250’s tow ball, our weighing showed that with draw system, tools, full engel, canopy, roof rack, second ute spare etc etc we are still close to the rear axle limit. Yes its an expensive step up, but I sleep better! As further consolation, its no go-kart for ride comfort, has unbelievable amounts of power, and most V8 LC folks are scratching their heads when we compare fuel economy. Once you know how the numbers really stack, you cant help but wonder how many caravaners you see are rolling without certainty of third party public liability cover and vehicle/van insurance if the unforeseen happens.

Noice vid...One Day

Noice vid. would look better in a higher resolution :-)

Great video guys , the audio is very quiet tho but the scenery is good 👍, 38 bucks for a little tiny schnitzel 😮 that's robbery , passing through McLaren Vale in SA the other day its just a normal every day town the Cafe there wanted 14 bucks for 1 toasted cheese and ham sandwich that's double the price elsewhere , Aussies ripping Aussies off 😢 now I see why folks go overseas 4 their holidays its better value and a shit load cheaper , but I still want to see Australia first but I always walk back out off the shops and pubs that try too rip me off , I'm happy to support honest businesses but not the greedy ones , I feel sorry 4 the locals paying 4 them ridiculous prices

Hi. There doesn't appear to be an extraction system above the cooking area ?

Hi Wendy!! Please get the names of our country towns correct. Your showing the whole world our beautiful country. I don't think that we have a town in Australia called Arracoola.! Otherwise it was a good look at the dusty northern part of SA. 👍

I used to work in this area back in early 1980s. I went water skiing in the Cooper Creek. Can't wait to get back up there soon. Great clip. 👍 Glad you're back dropping videos guys.

Great vid... noice countryside....

Good to see some one doing the inland dirt.

Great Vid....

Great vid. would be better filmed in 1080 or 4K :-)
