Broome, Western Australia Caravan road trip Australia

Join us as we spend some time exploring Broome. After spending almost two weeks on the Gibb, it was a time to relax, enjoy the sunsets on Cable Beach and catch up on some work. There are so many things that we missed, unfortunately, many of Broome's highlights are reliant on high/low tides and of course around the moon cycles. When planning, be sure to take these all into consideration. Thanks ...

  • @lithgowlights859
    @lithgowlights859 Месяц назад

    My only comment, besides great video, is by greasing up the stub axle before you push the inner bearing on with the brake drum, is that the majority of the grease will be pushed along the axle into the brake area rather than stay on the axle. I'd put a very light smear of grease on the axle, push the drum on and then add some extra grease between the bearings before adding the outer bearing. Videos like this are great as it helps others attempt what should be routine maintenance on their vans.

    It seems like your videos have great potential but are facing challenges in reaching a wider audience. Here are some possible reasons: 1. SEO Optimization 2. Target Audience Reach 3. Effective Use of Hash tags 4. Social Media sharing By addressing these areas, you can enhance your video's visibility and attract more viewers. I can help with that. My info is on this very channel I'm using to comment.

      Thanks for taking the time to reply. We also watched their video as it's the same van and did notice that some of the suggestions we mentioned seemed to be incorporated in their van. Hopefully, Lotus is taking the feedback onboard.

      Hey we had to come back to Brisbane due to a funeral and then our van has been getting repaired for the past 3.5 months and still waiting on some work to be completed. We were in the Gold Coast tornado over xmas. I have loads of footage to still put together but full-time work and after school activities have kept us busy. Due to van repairs we have also had to cancel our Cape York trip. 😢 We plan on still travelling locally again soon. 😊

  • @robertgrayson3394
    @robertgrayson3394 5 месяцев назад

    Loved this review. We have a 2019 Trooper and have to agree that the windows are complete and utter rubbish. We have tried sealing inside with silicon, and good quality magnetic screens but none of this resolves the issue to our satisfaction. They have to be replaced as we cannot leave windows open from dusk onwards, so I am keen to see how you go finding a fit for purpose replacement. Ditto that flaming light over the door, location of the water tap on drawbar, useless jockey wheel, the location of the power inlet and the front toolbox. Most issue you mention we also have and agree with your comments (eg shower drain, leaking shower door, dunny roll holder etc). I could add a long list to this which I just ended up sorting myself. Don't get me wrong, we love our Trooper and it takes a beating and comes back for more, but the quality and attention to detail were not close to an acceptable standard for a van at this price point. The only consolation is that form our travels it seems most van builders have similar quality and attention to detail issues. Lotus have been good to deal with, though slow to respond. Our dealer in WA was disgraceful and is no longer a Lotus agent.

    • @FamilyEscapeAustralia
      @FamilyEscapeAustralia 2 месяца назад

      Hey, thanks for the feedback, and I couldn't agree more. The van has been great and has taken us some amazing places with no structural issues and never let us down. It's purely the final touches and finishes that need to be sorted for a van at this price point, and they would be amazing.

      You do have to monitor it. Some people have installed a bypass valve, so it doesn't use this valve when on mains.
