Hey guys, I'm glad that you got your temporary home sorted while your van is in for repairs. Wow, what a great van that you borrowed 😊 Thanks for sharing your adventures. Kaylee did well with the narrating 🎉 Enjoy the weekend. See you next week. Safe travels, Lyn ❤
Thanks Lyn, the big van was like another world for us with a lot of luxuries we aren't used to, we enjoyed our time in it. Thanks for watching see you next week.
We love our North South bed and washing machine in our Fury Road. And yes when using the washing machine everything shakes especially when the awning is out. Another great video, stay safe.
@annettepocock8058 thanks Annette. Yes we've been loving both the north south bed and the washing machine. Maybe one day we will get to a van of our own with those features 😁
Hi from what i have been told i may be wrong but a gvm upgrade from Lovells witch i think you have got sure it increasers you gvm weight but the gcm is only writing on a piece of paper as there is nothing done to your vehicle to increase your gcm and this is not recognized by the federal government people may need to check with there insurance company's to make sure they are insured hope this makes sense.
Hey guys, as usual great informative video and a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the clear explanations on the caravan and vehicle weights Brett, well worth knowing! Looking forward to seeing you guys next week 👍 Take care and stay safe. Kind regards, Corrie 😀
It certainly is very scenic countryside where you are at present. It's making us think about headng that way sometime. Many thanks for all the work you put into producing each episode, we know it's a lot of work. We've only recently started watching and we've hit the Subsribe button to tune in regularly so we look forward to getting to know you all better.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment guys, glad to have you on board. Yes the South West of WA certainly surprised us, it's so beautiful, wait till you see the caves next week. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Great video, hubby is always telling me the weighing system and cause and effects, after watching your explanation I'm still no wiser 😂 I will leave that side to him and I will just do my thing 😀
I'm glad you made it to the Donnybrook Apple Fun Park and had a great time. Enjoyed watching you all tour around my home territory. To think I could have run into you all. Next time, maybe even on the road one day our paths will cross. Thanks for the vlog, enjoy the hire van. Safe travels.
Hey Joanne, thanks for your kind comment, we very much enjoyed touring your home territory despite the cold and wild weather, it really is beautiful. If you ever see us on the road, please come up and say hi.
Just a comment about inverting the hitch. Unless the hitch or the owner's manual says it can be inverted it must remain in the standard position. They are usually designed as one way only. The Hayman Reese adjustable hitch or something similar is the best option.
Yes 100% correct, please refer to the owners manual to ensure your hitch is allowed to be inverted. Our after market couplemate hitches available at svedos.com.au are also allowed to be inverted.
Really appreciate your explanation of weight transfer issues. Where do we find the rear axle weight limit for our prospective tow vehicles (before purchase) as carsales does not list this (and may not be correct)? Is there a website that lists rear axle, towball, etc limits for all cars?
Hi Mark. Unfortunately I don't know of a public database that lists it all. If you are test driving a vehicle you will find it in the manual either under specifications or towing. Otherwise you will just have to try your luck googling prospective vehicles.
Brett, thanks for the response. As a newly minted professional do you already know the weight limits for most cars, OR do you build your own database as you perform your weighing analysis (from the owners car manual)? I would be more than happy to reward you for some car pre-purchase advice if you know the details & can help narrow my search!😊
@markunderwood9823 hi Mark. I have a database of vehicle limits that covers all the common vehicles in Aus, it's just not public knowledge. I'm happy to have a chat with you and provide advice re. Vehicle choice. Send me an email at admin@svedos.com.au with your contact details and some info around what questions or vehicles your thinking and we can organise a time to have a chat.
I'm just thinking that I haven't taken my daughter to the apple fun park since they renovated it, I'll have to take her back down soon. Initially the park was set up with a large ($1-2 million) gift from some private individuals
Just read the BT50 manual. It says if the van is over 3t the speed must not exceed 80kph. I bet not many know that and goes to show that the van weight really shouldn't exceed the weight of the tow vehicle.
Personally, I prefer free camping or if I do stay at Caravan Parks, it is normally the type that are a bit out of town....why? As you experienced with your last episode Caravan Parks in towns do have theft and IMO it is by people that are opportunistic rather than organised, so by staying out of town you are vastly reducing the opportunity. Yes, it is a pity that we have to think this way but unfortunately today it is a fact of life. PS - I have a mini washing machine in my setup and yes it does vibrate a lot......I think it is due to being wall mounted therefore the clothes are never evenly balanced around the bowl.
We've not experienced crime to that extent with only a few exceptions (Alice Springs & Seisa) and in those locations the C.P's hire security guards to keep it under control, it seems like they might need to do that in Bunbury which is really strange as you wouldn't expect it there. Anyhow, we prefer free camping and quiet locations too for many reasons. If we ever get to design a van I think I would go with a floor mounted top loader, I hear they are significantly lighter than front loaders too which would be another advantage. thanks for watching.
I suspect that you need d a separate channel for for your weigh business, Currently, I'm all over it, in terms of understanding weights, - just need to follow your travels.
Hi Stuart, Given the feedback I've received many people found it interesting and I'm certain I've helped to educate a few people out there. You are more than welcome to skip sections that don't interest you. I will try to remember to put chapters in to make this easier, my apologies for them not being in when you watched. Thank you for watching and your feedback, it's reminded me to put chapters in the vid.
Hi Peter, thanks for your concern and comment. The weights of my vehicle used in the calculations were from a weigh a I performed of my setup just a week prior. I had a full tank of fuel, all my equipment and accessories and all passengers on board when I weighed my setup. Therefor I am confident after going through that exercise that I was compliant while towing the larger van, however only just. But hypothetically, if my numbers were not including passenger's and gear, it would be my rear axel that would be the greatest concern as it would likely be over by well over 100+kg while the GVM would probably be close to its limit. One of the reasons I explained all of this in the video was to help people think of their rear axel numbers as this is what we find is over the most when we weigh setups on the road. Many people don't realise the TBM is added to the rear axel at a 1:1.5 ratio and it catches a lot of people out.

Well done legends,
Hats off to the action shots going down the slide and the park narration.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
thanks, glad you've enjoyed.
Amazing to be back on the road, love a good road trip, exploring even though it's cold 👍
when your South in winter, why not go to the coldest place you can fine :)
Great video and good explanation re weights and especially re rear axel. We loved the SE of WA when we were there 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Inland South WA is absolutely stunning, even when its cold haha.
So good to have u guys back 👏 gr8 ep🤙🍻
@ouroz_adventures cheers guys, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, hubby is always telling me the weighing system and cause and effects, after watching your explanation I'm still no wiser 😂 I will leave that side to him and I will just do my thing 😀
Haha, Mels the same, as long as someone on board has their head around it.
Thanks for watching.
Under no circumstances is that moustache good!
I totally agree, it has to go
I totally agree it had to go
Doesn’t suit you at all
its long gone.
🤣🤣🤣

I will do. Hope you're all somewhere warmer. Have a great weekend.
Welcome back guys, the kids are the BIG difference, been awhile 😁
they are growing up too fast... thanks for watching.
Thanks

Magic fire dust! Hmmm, have to try some :)
sure keeps the kids entertained.
I've never tried mulled wine before. Sounds interesting.
@@rebekahhoward8827 it's nice in cold weather.
I can see a new van coming
certainly dreaming, but it's going to take some time to save up for one haha. but at least our vehicle has the capacity to go bigger.

hahaha that's what I was going for. But rest assured its gone now and wont be back for a long while.
I'm just thinking that I haven't taken my daughter to the apple fun park since they renovated it, I'll have to take her back down soon. Initially the park was set up with a large ($1-2 million) gift from some private individuals
I make my toasty in a fry pan. No need for a machine. Butter bread both side. Its way better. U need only a pan
Just read the BT50 manual. It says if the van is over 3t the speed must not exceed 80kph. I bet not many know that and goes to show that the van weight really shouldn't exceed the weight of the tow vehicle.
Wow, I diddnt know that and I had a BT50. Thankfully my van was only 2750kg.
I have cooked Christmas pork roast in our webber on about 3 occasions.
they go all right don't they :)
Great Vid... That MO has to go !!! hahhahaha
It's all ready gone and won't make a return for a long time haha.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love how U have a nice car but to get equipment is hard. Haha that's what the people with money said. Lol

Going on your 228kg left you are in trouble. You then have to add weight of people and all gear in car

Temu. I deleted the app but very cheap
