We are very open about the good stuff and forget to show the bad side air times and we are guilty of doing that. We thought we make an episode sharing our thoughts on the side know one talks about and I'm sure you have your own concerns and we would love to hear them as maybe we can help.

The "R U OK?" clock cover might appear to be a simple decoration, but it carries a profound message - one that transcends language and transcends borders. It's a reminder that behind every travel adventure, there are real people with real emotions, going through real battles that aren't always visible on the surface. It's a reminder that even when exploring the world, our mental and emotional landscapes deserve attention and care.
As I continue to watch your videos and learn from your caravanning experiences,The clock cover serves as a constant reminder that kindness is a universal language, and that a simple question can make a world of difference. Thank you for being a shining example of how content creation can extend beyond entertainment to touch lives in ways you might never have imagined.
Thank you for the lovely response. It is something Deryck and I are both very mindful of and always consider whether each other and others are okay. Kindness costs nothing and you just never know what type of a day the other person has had! I agree a very powerful message and one we should take the time to share! Again thank you!
I have to change my favourite part of the episode…. It’s Derek passing off the book with the topics he didn’t like and Sue, cracking up laughing
😂😂😂 he had me laughing too, picking and choosing the ones he likes!
😂😂😁
Hi Sue and Deryck, Re the toilet, we converted ours over to the Seperett Tiny composting one. Game changer. No dump points ever again. Simple and easy to empty unlike other composting toilets. 😃
Ooooh thanks for the tip. Haven’t heard of this one before but will def look it up!
Hi Guys
We loved your comment about helping out other's. We find when travelling in the caravan, it's always great that so many people are willing to share fantastic spots to visit and tips to make travelling easier. Having the icheck tpsm Would be a great peace of mind for us while travelling and if we could help another traveller some day it would be put to good use.
Some things we do as full timers on the road to make it more comfortable.
Biodegradable body wipes, also use to wipe feet before bed. Stepping onto cleaner towel at foot of bed before jumping in.
We food prep quite a bit, especially when going remote. This means meals pre cooked. Stored in freezer bags inside containers. We repurpose the freezer bags as our bin liners. The containers don't need washing up due to freezer bags.
Cleaning dishes remote we wipe over with paper towel - then use in fire pit. Then we use the bio degradable wipes to finish up.
When there is water for a camping shower - tub under feet to catch "grey water" repurpose to freshen up feet later or a sponge bath next day...
I love my juicer so this takes a lot of water to clean and pulp to rinse out of machine. I do this when I know we will be passing some sort of water source. So pulp doesn't get caught in our lines.
Water spray bottle can also be handy with cassette toilet. To use instead of the loo flush.
Some really amazing advice here. Thank you so much for sharing. Love that you reuse and repurpose a lot of what you use. It makes absolute sense!
Can I say it was so good to see how honest and passionate you were when talking about dust and dirt being annoying and not enjoyable. All the stuff you don’t see on instagram.
😂😂😂 he did get pretty passionate about it. Just relieved he didn’t give you a sneak peek of his feet 😂
😂😂 I did go a bit off track but it can test you 😁
Best part is the honesty of the entire episode. You guys put yourselves and all of the ‘bits’ out there. If I had to pick one, it’s the scarcity and anxiety of water utilisation. Love the channel. All the best
Thanks so much for your comment and support. Very appreciated!
My Favourite part of the video is Sue speaking about taking care of the important bits with a face cloth or wet wipe. Love watching you guys.
😂😂😂 yes ahaha. Thanks for the feedback and hope you have a great week!
We started laughing when you talked about the lack of personal space when showering and toileting.
It reminded us of when the last time we were away.
We have a small van with a outside toilet/tent. We stopped just on dark one night at a roadside camp, which was packed and the toilets were lock and both needing a number 2 badly.
We had no choice but to grab the porta potty and put it in the kitchen of the van and do our business while chatting to each other and reciting our wedding vowels for better and for worse 😂😊
PS We live an hour west of Brisbane on a small property with plenty of room. If needed you can park your rig here when every you want for as long as you want
😂😂😂 the wedding vowels part finished me…. That is so kind of you, you might just hit you up when innBrissy as all our friends and family have driveways at a 90 degree angle 😂
Best vanning channel on the net. So down to earth and your content is great for all walks. Keep it up guys, enjoy it thoroughly. Well done!!
Thanks so much Mick, really appreciate the feedback and support. We hope you have an awesome week!
Hi Sue and Derek, your ‘warts and all’ naked honesty is priceless. Keep doing what you are doing, you do it so well.
And, keep the clock messages coming. They are very much anticipated with each episode now.
We’ll done guys 😎🐸
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, greatly appreciated it! Yes the clock is almost always covered now… I never know what time it is 😂
I feel for you Derek, so many times we have arrived at insta worthy locations and ended up locked in the van because we would get burnt to a crisp by the sun or blown over by the wind. We went to Jindabyne at the beginning of the year in January and a cold front come through. OMG it was so freaking exciting to see the snow on top of the mountains, so we made a plan for the day, take the kids to Charlotte's Pass and play in the snow. We were soo excited,snow in Summer! We were wearing as many clothes as we could layer up with. Got out of the car and tried to film the excitement. They entire time we were there my 4 year old daughter screamed at the top of her lungs because she was sooo cold. We tried to make it as fun as we could but man was it a downer. It was definitely a highlight of our trip so far. But it just shows the reality of what living this lifestyle is like.
Thanks so much for your lovely response! Yes 100% agree that you might be the first or only person someone speaks to and you never know what kind of day they have. Super exciting that you are picking up your new van soon!!We have been very happy with ours and hope you enjoy your travels as much as we enjoy oirs!
Loved your episode you tell it how it really is. John and I watch you guys all the time. I think you are very down to earth. Thank you for being on RUclips and sharing your life. ❤
Thanks so much for your support Lynette, we really appreciate it and thanks for the lovely feedback 😊
Totally random but I had a dream last night that we pulled into a caravan park and one of our two frenchies (Koda) found Bob and was having a good old time hanging out with Bobby Boy hahaha, maybe they will meet one day in real life - heading off on on lap end of October! Love your content guys, keep it up :) Tanya & Aiden
Wow that’s awesome! Congrats guys that is not too far away! Bob would love to play with your Koda! It’s so funny watching frenchies play, they are so different to other breeds, it’s like the dog version of WWF! Bob has met 2 mate son the road, had many happy play dates with them … would be great to cross paths on the road!
Bobby is red
Differently not blue thanks for asking if we are ok, how about you,
The best part of your show is
You guys…
Thank you for all the laughs. Love the banter and all the info given 🐶
Thanks so much, this is awesome! Hope you have a great week and thanks for your comment!
You guys crack us up..gr8 midweek episode and we can relate to a lot of your topics. It’s definitely not always sunshine and 🌈 😂 but the good outweighs the bad by far.
Thanks guys, yes it’s a great lifestyle and we love it. You can only have a giggle at the challenges that are so different to the ones we had at home! Have a great week and safe travels 😊
Top episode! Covering issues that no one else seems to discuss. The best bit was definitely the intro. We love Deryck's child like enthusiasm ❤...
What a cracking episode. So many good tips, a warts and all realistic view of caravanning. We love watching your adventures and the banter between you both. Keep it up, its brilliant.
Thanks so much, appreciate the feedback and thank you for the support 😊
I love that you just keep it real, really enjoy how you’re travelling as a family with little Bobby keep up the great work 😃
Thanks so much, really appreciate the feedback. Hope you have a great week!
R U OK hits close to home. Have a tattoo on my wrist that is a close reminder to constantly remember to asks one another if they are okay. One simple question can make a persons day. You might be the only person that person has to talk to that day. Appreciate and care for others.
Me and my husband can’t wait to get our rough rider next year and be all up in each others space. Currently we have a full house and shed but we are never apart, watch your videos in the shed together and eat and sleep in the house. Soon it will be watch it together in the van and sleep in the van. Cramping each others style as we already do. Love your guys messages and advice and lovely little bob up to mischievous fun that gels with your vibes. Thanks for everything you do guys. You’ve inspired us to go from a big house shed to a little house on wheels. Much love
Best comment: Your smiles, positivity and truthful practical advice based on experience!
Dereck - your eagerness makes us smile every episode! Sue - you just keep him under control and on track! 😂
Dereck- you can get four days outta undies, front, backwards, then same inside out 🎉🎉
PS COVID was 20/21 Dereck! 👏
My favourite part was your topic of letting fluffy off the lease and toilet problems in the van. Made us laugh so much!😂
Exhaust fans and air freshener on the list!🤣.
Love the mid week talks, so good! Thanks guys.
😂😂😂 thanks so much, glad you are enjoying the content and appreciate the feedback!
We just bought our first van and this episode has been a wealth of great information. We have done a few test trips in order to plan better in future and you have just saved us a heap of time - best but for us was the toilet cassette. That could be quite emotional!
Congratulation guys 🎉 that is so exciting! Welcome to the lifestyle. So please you find the content useful. Hope you have a great weekend and many happy trips in your new van!
Loving your videos lots of awesome honest keeping it real tips.I have gone, back to watch alot of your older videos thank you for sharing
We really enjoyed watching the more highs than lows of Vanning on the road.
You both are a great team together showing us travelling in a van with such a fantastic attitude & lots of laughter too
Can't wait for the next episode to see your adventures & say hi to Bob too x
Thanks so much Karla, doing these episodes make us laugh too. It’s good to stop and reflect and chat! So many great lessons and stories!
No favourite section in this video for us. We enjoy the whole video. We are learning so much from your mid week videos. Awesome bunch you two are, oh yes, and the Bob myster. Hope to run into you when we start our lap.
Thanks so much guys appreciate the lovely feedback! Hope you h e an awesome week!
I love watching you guys. So honest and can always have a laugh at yourselves, such a great way to be. In my view you are the number 1 RUclips caravan video bloggers in Australia! Keep up the great work guys.
Love your videos. Tip you may like. If you get into trouble with your toilet, my wife and I would put a plastic bag in the bowl and put the lid down. When finished, take the bag out and tie the top. Put in waste bin when convenient. Hope this helps. Enjoy
I love watching your channel you are so honest about the good and the bad of caravan life and nothing is off limits keep up the great videos I would love to be able to travel around Australia hopefully before I get too old
Thanks so much for the feedback and support. Hope you have a great week!
Loved this episode. We are starting our travel hopefully March 2024. Loved the honesty around it not all being sunshine & roses. We watch you guys all the time, always look forward to your episodes. My favourite bit was Bob peeking through Deryks arm ..he is so cute.
Keep up the good work guys maybe we will run into you someday on the road ❤
Thanks so much guys and good luck with your preparations for 2024! That is super exciting am not far away! Yes Bobbi’s super cute!
Great episode! All very very true and its important people understand this before travelling full time or going on a big trip 😊 We also had some laughs because it’s just relatable 😂 love it 🙌🏻
Thanks so much guys, appreciate it and glad it is relatable!
Thank you guys for another great midweek episode, loving them and hope you keep them up :) I'm not on FB, even though the wife is, but the highlight for us every week is the clock cover. This weeks one though is the best and thank you so so much for highlighting R U OK as it means a lot in our house and it was beautiful to see that up there, so a big thank you form us to you guys :)
Love watching your videos. You guys are always so honest and down to earth. Especially the toilet commets in this week's video. Look forward to seeing your future videos.
Spot on, people really need to understand what real life caravanning is, another great video.
Thanks so much, appreciate the feedback! 😊
Have just started watching you guys. Going to go back and find ALL the past episodes! About to embark on our journey and so many fascinating fantastic ideas and tips 😂
Love your honesty and the reality of living in a van, especially if it's full time. Your experiences with cassette toilets struck a chord and reinforced our decision to go composting toilet in our next van. Cheers.
Thanks guys appreciate the feedback! Yes , go compost. We will def go compost in our next van too!
Being a pet owner myself, I found that the best part of the episode was discussing travelling with pets. I have 3 dogs and have spent a few weekends away with them. It is definitely a challenge but so rewarding.
Love watching your content! and look forward to more.
Thank you 🙏
Yes it is very difficult at times but we wouldn’t have it any other way 🙌🏻
Thank you again guys for another great episode. They are still the highlights of our week. Each week we grab some snacks and wait for your videos to drop 🤣
We would love the opportunity of entering your competition. Our favourite part of this weeks episode was seeing the new shade of Bobbi 😆gotta love the good old Aussie red dirt 😆
I have to say we are getting somewhat anxious about taking our two cream Moodles on the road next year 🫣
You left us in stitches when you spoke about someone doing a 💩in the van without the cassette installed as well 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the feed back.
Yip , the red dirt is challenging with Bob as of course he doesn’t understand it when we try and keep him out of it 😁
The best part of this episode is my realisation that I can now easily write a massive list of all the pitfalls of living day in day out in suburbia. Those challenges are far greater than the travel life in my opinion. This episode has given me more inspiration to get out there. Thank you!!!
100% agree, we would prefer these challenges to the suburbia lifestyle any day!
There are definitely challenges when caravanning and I’m sure there are challenges in every path one takes but it’s also the enjoyment you get out the path you take 😁
Hi, great to know why the clock is covered :). We are a retired couple and a year ago we purchased an off road teardrop camper. Hmmm - first trip to a caravan park - we were in a deluge and it was the first time setting up - water up to our ankles and as the wind blew the awning up, I was holding a pole and was dumped with the water off the awning. Soaking wet. Next trip we headed off after a Christmas party and found out most people had caught Covid - after we set up we came down with Covid. Had to isolate and had no energy to pack up for days. Next trip after just 24 hours I came down with gastric and we had to get home for the convenience. We are leaving Friday to go again and by hook or by crook we are staying put. Could be another weather even - oh no!!!! But we still love it, and our luck has to change! I love watching you both and Bob - you are genuine and really showing us the good the bad and the ugly. Well done.
Thanks for this one. As people planning our adventure, your thoughts on the realities of traveling full time are priceless.
Thanks for the feedback guys and good luck with your preparations 😊
As we’re in the planning stage it’s good to be following someone that tells it how it is. You had me cracking up about letting fluffy off the chain 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks so much for the feedback. Good luck with your planning, that is super exciting!
Love your mid week handy and nifty tips on travel. Handy tips and a laugh at the reality of it all.
Have to say there were a lot of excellent moments and tips, "adding an extra nugget" "sniffing the washing" "going commando" "wet washer for the delicate bits". We've been in the red dirt and know the feeling, two months later and our shower has still a pink tinge.
Keep the good work guys, your always coming up with great stuff.
Thanks so much guys, we really appreciate the feedback and yes the link tinge is just terrible but a reminder of some great adventures! 😊
Great mid week vid guys. My favorite part in amongst all the laughs & great advise were the comments about Mr Bob being red and matching Derek's red feet. We laughed so much. Thanks guys, so enjoyable!
Thanks so much, appreciate it and hope you have a great week!
Another great ep guys, so many things that are easily overlooked. fave part and may have had a proper chuckle at was when Derek was doing his robot dance or policeman directing traffic as he called it. reckon you should clip it up for a short with some music 😂. Reckon the 'RUOK" would make a great permanent clock cover. keep up the good work guys n safe travels.
Hot tip! Use a foil tray in your camp oven. Keeps it clean with only a quick wipe over.
Love your episodes. No BS 😀
I’m picking up my little new van Friday. Solo travelling & working is my plan.
You have inspired me Sue😊
All the best.
Wow that’s tomorrow! Congratulations 🎉 that is super exciting! Good luck with your travels 😊
@@suelandolt6840 thanks Sue. I can’t sleep I’m that excited 😆
Great episode guys👍🏼 really makes you realise the honest reality of travelling. Thanks for another great episode 😁✌️😍
Thanks so much for the feedback! Hope you have an awesome week!
😂😂😂😂Thank you Derek ,Sue and Bob for making the harder stuff of “Vanning it” so very funny an entertaining 😂and yes that red dirt doesn’t come out !! Just completed the Cape with the help of your episodes ❤looking forward to your next adventures 🚤🎣🍳🏝️🧗♀️🍾🍻💕💕
Oh wow congrats on completing the Cape. It is such an epic part of the country and trip! Yes plenary of red dirt here and it doesn’t come ou! Hope you have a great week and thanks for your support!
Adversities and being able to make informed choices, you’re helping us to get ahead of the game, that’s the best part! Every experience, good or bad is a story to share and we are continually learning from you guys, love it, thanks 😊
Thanks so much really appreciate the feedback 😊
Love all your episodes, they are so informative, down to earth and honest. Loved hearing about the dogs in this episode as my sister and I are planning to travel soon with our dogs.
Hope we bump into you both on our travels, we are from WA.
This might help with your washing, Bluo liquid blue laundry brightener.
Add a bit to your wash load and it will help with getting the red staining in clothing or sheets. The blue counteracts the red. You can purchase this from Coles or other supermarkets. Looking forward to your next episode! Happy travels 😊
Thank you 🙏. We appreciate your feed back.
Thanks for the tip on the bio liquid and we hope you can be on the road soon and making amazing memories 😁
Some really helpful tips. You can tell you’ve experienced them. Many thanks for sharing. 😀
Thanks so much, we have 100% experienced them in all their glory! All part of the adventure!
I needed this video. Some great ideas in there. Thank you. 🙂
Thanks so many ch, glad you enjoyed it!
We found your channel when planning our 1 month long trip from east coast to west coast and back. We instantly fell in love with Bob and his antics as we are also frenchie owners. I have binged all of your episodes. I can’t wait to see each and every new one. The best part of this episode is Derick’s action reaction to the flies, midgies and mozzies 😂. Keep up the great work for those of us who are living vicariously through your inspiring channel 💕
Love watching your travels we have watched all your episodes. Keep travelling safely 😊
You guys inspired us to make the move to Aus and work towards a lifestyle like you have 🙌🏽 keep up the great content!!
That’s amazing guys! Such awesome feedback and so pleased you decided to make the move! Hope all is what you expect it to be 😊
We think you guy are fantastic. Lots of fun stories and heaps of content. We have both just retired and can't wait for the next episode. Yes we did notice your shirt inside out lol.
Safe travels.
another great episode guys, I always enjoy them. Our biggest issue is my wife's health, it can go from good to bad in a matter of a few days. Fortunately her specialist will answer his mobile phone and guide the local GP on how to treat her. Usually I put it all down to part of the adventure. By a spare toilet cassette. Safe travels.
Thanks so much, good to hear your wife has a great GO as health can be tricky and is so important!
Another great informative episode and you always manage to give us a laugh.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
You guys brighten up our week!! I laugh my bloody head off watching you both bounce off each other ….. I laughed so much at the idea of Sue going the loo without the cassette in ( I have a funny story about our caravan toilet but probably couldn’t share 😂)
Have a great week!!!
Thanks so much, really appreciate the feedback 😊
my partner and I are planning to go caravanning full time and you guys are a good resource of what and what not to do. keep up the humor and knowledge
Thank you for keeping everything real. I imagine you write a script for these mid week episodes that Derrick never sticks too 😂
😂😂😂 yes pretty much, it’s like trying to break in a wild horse 😂😂😂
You Okes just crack us up! We are getting our first caravan in October so are total newbies. We recently subscribed to your channel and have been binge watching. You guys have not only taught us so much for our pretravel prep but you are also natural entertainers, so it's now compulsory viewing. This episode was great but having to wash your 'bits with a wet wipe could make me rethink doing a lap!
Wow that’s awesome! October is just around the corner. Olson pleased the content has been helpful. Good luck with all your preparations, they are half the fun!! Yes the wet wipes are a grim reality, in fact ran out of water today but did have just enough to wash my feet before bed 😊
Hahahah Love that Clock 🕰️ you two make caravanning so much fun 🍷🍷 Cheers 🥂
Thanks Paul, always appreciate your feedback and support. Have a great week!
Really enjoy your mid-week episodes as great topics and love the banter going on between the two of you. Interesting and fun viewing 😀
Thanks so much for the feedback and support. We appreciate it it very much. Have a great week!
I love how fair dinkum you guys are about everything....including the dunny. We are currently in the planning stage for our life on the road, and every video inspires us to do it faster... Even the downsides to vanning life...LOL. it's so lovely to see your positive outlooks on life in every video... keep it up! Hopefully, we will catch up on the road one day in the very near future.
That’s awesome l! The planning stage is half the fun. Thanks for the awesome feedback and good luck with the rest of your preparations!
Love the fact that you show the real side of caravaning. The lifestyle is fabulous but it does have its trials.
Keep up the great work Sue and Derek.
Love to Bobbie🐶
R U OK. ❤
Thanks so much. Appreciate the feedback! Hope you have a great week!
Keep the clock suspense coming guys…. Love seeing what creative way you come up with to cover the clock each week 😂😂😂
Sometimes it really is the small things in life 😊
Hi Guys,
Thanks for sharing the pitfalls of living off grid.
Really enjoy the weekly content and chuckled with Deryk’s mozzie, fly and Mydgee comment.
We are going to do a trip from Brissy to Darwin leaving in 3 weeks and are very excited.
Have a great week.
Craig and Megan
Wow guys that is super exciting. Brassy to Darwin is a great trip! Have fun and safe travels!
My favourite part of this and most JV videos is when Sue always see's the funny, delightful and loving side of Derrick. You guys rock and I cant wait to join the traveling community. Bring on 2025 :)
Thanks so much Cath, really appreciate that! Yes bring on 2925! And best of luck with all your preparations 😊
I love the changing clock face ever since you started covering it. Always look at it 1st thing for a little giggle. Don't change it!
Really enjoying the mid-week episodes. Plenty of great tips this week. Loved the off dury police officer with the flies comment & demonstration. 🤣🤣
Using a face cloth to look after the important bits - so diplomatically expressed, Sue! You’re so good at keeping it real!
😂😂😂 thanks you, I think my mother would be proud! I still slip up every now and then 😂
love your vids and down to earth approach to van life!! keep on vanning!! Greetings from Still Bay South Africa!
Love you guys and Bob - such a laugh for all.
I changed my mind a few times on the favourite part but I think it is when Derek skips questions to the ones he likes and Sue just laughs and laughs.
Keep up the amazing content - thanks for being so real.
😂 absolutely you both giggling over Deryck missing ones he doesn't want to do. 😂
Watching you guys brightens my day.
Thanks so much, glad we can give you a smile 😊
Great episode. The more you talk about the realities, the more we are ready to travel. The countdown continues
Hi Deryck and Sue, we are new to your channel and the caravaning world. It's very inspiring watching your videos. Hard to pick a part of this video that was our favourite moment as your banter and humour make your videos very relatable and informative. So I guess our favourite part is how real you guys are! Looking forward to your next video. Take care and Safe travels, Anthony and Donna from the Gold Coast
THE OFF DUTY POLICE OFFICER!! when the traffic lights are down!😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂 yes he is def one with all that hand waiving!
Your mid week episodes keep getting better and better and I don’t know how you keep managing to come up with so many awesome topics!! But please don’t stop 😊. And Derek’s face when Sue is chatting is priceless 😂 Love having Wednesday chats with you xx. See you on Sunday.
Thanks Robyn, that is lovely feedback! Thanks so much for all your support!
Really enjoying your channel. You guys are keeping it real with down to earth conversations which the rest of us can all relate to. Toilet cassette comments case in point🤣 Getting so many practical pointers from you two that is helping us in our own planning .....and enjoying the real conversations! Keep them coming......
Thanks David, so happy you are enjoying the content and please let us know if you have any questions! Good luck with the planning, it’s all part of the excitement of travel!
Another great vlog, guys....the clock thing is funny as 😅
Thanks so much 😊
I live for your clock shot every week always gives me a laugh, you are great at the vids, so natural, entertaining but informative, you seem to be just beautiful straight up and genuine, keep it real guys see you on Sunday 😂
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, we really appreciate it!
So glad you mentioned medications etc as no one really talks about it unless it's kids... makes you feel no one travels with chronic conditions. as someone with a few medical conditions that require constant management and the odd flare up, its easy to forget to be organised!!! Do you still use a specific GP to manage and understands your situation and condition's? Using randoms will be complicated and your repeating your story all the time. ❤
Hi Sonia, yes agreed it is super tricky on the road. I have to visit abGP at least every 6 months. I have my GP in Brissy that manages my details fortunately but use an online GP if I need a script and they are pretty good!
Great episode, we just picked up our first van after a 15 month wait.
It’s people like yourselves that have given us inspiration to get out there and travel, would love to meet you guys one day and have a beer, especially love to meet the star of the show, go Bob. 😊
Congratulations guys 🎉that is super exciting! Wow what a wait! The waiting times have been super long. Hope you have many happy travels in your new van and yea would be lovely to cross paths and have a beer 😊
Another great episode! Good insights and helpful to know what it's really like so you know what you're in for!
My fav part was when Derek was going to show us his feet and Sue said don't😂😂
And the story about the grandparents doing number 2 in the toilet with no cassette 😂😂
Thanks so much for you comment!!yes I thought he was going to show everyone his feet 😂 they were bright orange from the red dirt 😂 and yes the grand parents, too funny!
Love you guy's and and your honesty. Couple of tips. We catch our water from awning and pump into van. We save a bit on water buy using spray and wipe for dishes not excessively dirty. When showering we wet ourselves, wash body then hair and rince once. When way off grid my wife has a bin/bag ands puts her used wee paper In to stretch the days for the cassette. For bed in winter. We use a fleece blanket as a bed sheet. Its a lot warmer and when you have to stretch washing you don't feel the dirt and no sand in the bed. I've got an old set of close for dirty work witch I use very often. Helps to minimise washing. If you like a clean van then you can wrap it in a clear gloss and keeps van and 4by cleaner and is easy to clean. Its self healing when scratch on the tracks. Love the vids and tips guy's. We live in Mandurah WA ex Port Elizabeth. Cheers
You two are so real, it’s very refreshing. Never a dull moment in your world I’m sure & I think Sue has way more patience than any of us give her credit for😆. I don’t mind the whole “red feet” effect cause I really know I’m holidays & besides I’m sure if something is red it goes faster. At least if someone lets fluffy off the chain in the van you can leave, in the vehicle however…we’ve been known to be driving down the road with my door open as the window just wasn’t enough ventilation 🥴
Thanks for the content guys, it’s great
😂😂😂 this had me laughing picturing the door open! Really appreciate your feedback and support and hope you have a great week! 😊
Love, love, love watching you guys & following your adventures. Derek is an absolute card, and I love his sense of humour & mannerisms while Sue just watches on and enjoys his input. Never a dull moment with you two, which l love. Also, it was lovely to hear Sue was born in Shoreham By Sea, Sussex England, which is where I & my family are from. Thanks for being real. Keep up your amazing work & stay safe in our awesome state of WA & wherever you travel. ❤❤
Thanks so much guys really appreciate you feedback and support! Wow Shoreham By Sea! Yes was born there and my uncle has lived there for about 40 years! He prob knows your family it’s so small!
I love the way you guys have your reality videos, showing that it's not all beer, skittles and rainbow farting unicorns 😂 🦄
Thanks for sharing your tales from the road, look forward to the next instalment!
😂😂😂 this made me laugh, beer, skittles and rainbow farting unicorns 😊
You guys are so real, you telling it how it really is , but caravanning is a great life. You guys are proof of that, love your adventures, love the videos, I look forward to watching them all. Tip: we buy cheap paper plates when we free camp, saves water and throw them on the fire when we finish.
Thanks guys appreciate the feedback! Yes it’s a great life on the road. I really do need to get into the paper plates when off grid and burning them is perfect! Hope you have an great week and thanks again!
A hint for doing laundry when you are out in the boonies for a long time and are a bit short of water. Use the same water several times - IE. recycle it. We used to do three loads of washing in the same lot of water. Start with the least dirty things, move on to things that are a bit more grubby and end off cleaning up the fishing clothes. Worked a treat for us and we used to be out in the bush for three months at a time and had to cart water from the nearest town every time we got low. (We did have a 200 litre tank to move the water which helped).
Thanks so much for the tip! Yes we have some water tanks on the car for fetching water and it makes a huge difference!
I’m presenting you guys with the triple ‘S’ award; simply sensational sense of humour! Our favourite part of this episode is your clock. My husband and I wait with bated breath each week to see what is happening with the clock. RUOK? I’m definitely ok now I’ve seen your mid week episode and had a good heart laugh at your clock. Keep up the good work guys, looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks I much for the awesome feedback 😊 it’s really great to receive and love that we can provide a laugh!
Thanks for the RU ok message. Also thanks for clearing up why the clock is covered. We thought it was for editing and that you sat there
For hours and didn’t want us to see😂
Thank Sharon! Appreciate the feedback and comment. Have a great week!
The best part of the episode was definitely the toilet cassette conversation, for an ex plumber Derych has clearly lost his passion😅 but seriously I was in the same predicament as both you and Sue we were free camping out at James Price Point recently and had to make the trip back into Broome to empty the cassette……. Feel your pain.
Love these Wednesday episodes heaps of fun but informative at the same time.
Enjoy your time on the Peninsula and stay safe on the Gibb.
Thanks so much Barry! Glad you are enjoying the content. Yes our trip back was from Willy Creek just near James Price… need a dump point out this side!
Thank you for your explanation of the clock it’s been a talking point for weeks, but it’s been a good laugh
Andrew 😂
Hi Guys, we love your channel and the midweek segments are entertaining! you guys come over so natural with everyday problems and adventures on the road! I nearly choked on my Red Wine when Sue talked about (Who Let Fluffy off the chain) !! i haven't heard that for years! It was a favorite saying of my Mum that passed away 12 years back! Gave us a good Gut retching laugh and bought back some fond memories! Keep on being you guys, don't change and maybe we can catch up on the road somewhere. Cheers, Pete & Jane
I’m ok, thanks for asking. I hope U R ok. Love the famous clock and seeing what you come up with, this week is very pertinent? A reminder to always check on your people 😊
Thanks Sharon, we are good thanks and glad that you are OK! 😊
Hi.
Another great episode and so much info. When you were talking about the depreciation of cars and the caravan, it's true. However, if we are out there exploring this great country, we should remind ourselves that we have bought ourselves a lifestyle and there is no depreciation on this 😀
Cheers and keep up the great work.
R U Ok? Hell yeah, when I watch your episodes! That’s been my best part of the episodes of late. What’s going to be on the clock.
😂😂😂 thanks so much!
You nailed the dirty little secrets of Caravanning ! We aren’t on the road full time … but totally agree with everything you mentioned in your notes! You gotta take the good with the bad … being prepared is the key to a successful travel experience! Thanks for your weekly episodes 🙏🇦🇺
