We just bought our first hybrid van, first trip away this weekend! Your channel is the best camping channel on RUclips atm, simply because you are real and honest! Very relatable people!
Air tag will only work if your dog is close to another iPhone when he is lost , so in the outback not much chance . And can I also suggest once you get the boat on you get weighed so you know exactly where you stand. Overweight will void your insurance on both car and van when towing.
Hey Falzon family!!! We’re loving seeing you guys soo excited about van living. Have the best travels and make amazing memories to last a lifetime! Thank you for sharing your family with us. Safe and happy travels. ❤
Hey Guys, looks like you have the same fridge in your van as we do ours. If your off grid you can run it on the night setting which uses less power. Overnight we would use 30% of our battery however with the night setting (which we have on all the time if off grid) it would only use 20%. Hope this helps a little. 😁
Wow, we just got our van too and have nearly the exact same setup (also had problem putting the spare tyre underneath). We are looking at getting an inflatable boat instead because the Patrol's have max weight of 100kg including the rack on top ? Are you looking to weigh everything together to see where you're at ?
Ok so, the diesel heater. On start up when you first turn it on, it has to heat up the glow plug. Thats when its drawing the most power, usually around 10amps. Once its been running for a few minutes it backs off and the power isnt being sapped as .
another good episode just a hint when off grid you should not be using any 240 volt stuff (kettle /toaster ect ) use gas for the kettle until you know your system middle of the day with full sun is the best time to charge phones/lap tops ect .Diesel heaters are great but with that type of controller the only way to turn them down is open a window KEEP AT IT
@@thatfalzonfamily It's not a bad idea as the co2 meter alarm in a confined space like a closed van will also detect a gas leak and give you warning . Vans are notorious for vibrating loose many things and gas is one of them .
Love your videos! I spotted the LOL surprise box and am hoping you guys knew it has a confetti gun rigged for when you open it!! Haha still finding confetti from my daughter opening hers
Another Ep with lots of laughs 😂, keep it up guys, bloody awesome. Luke, we haven’t christened the van yet 🤣🤣. Apple 🍏 Air Tags r great, we have one in the car and van as our GPS trackers in case someone likes them too much. Kovix locks are excellent, we use one too. Safe travels and keep having fun, cheers 🍻🥂.
AirTags wouldn’t be much use out in the bush. They use Bluetooth from phones to ping off and he wouldn’t be anywhere near phones! Wouldn’t want to lose little Rocco 😁
Good to see what really goes on when caravanning in the beginning. We too have just left home yesterday and had power problems, just teething ones. All sorted now. We too love our diesel heater. How many amps of battery do you have?
Hey guys just watched your vid we are so happy for you guys yep there’s a lot to learn but you’re doing great. Noticed that you have Victron stuff which is great "Blue is good" well the best. To save power off grid run you hot water on gas I’m sure you can as electric hot water is a killer. Ok for 1260 watts of solar at 70% efficiency would mean on you gauge Cerbo GX monitor you see around 882 watts in full sun.
It also depends. If the panels are flat on roof you won't get that 70%, which all caravans lay them flat. To get top performance it's best they at a angle.
Just a suggestion- you guys should try getting a portable stove so that you’re not using as much power on your caravan & maybe try using thermist to keep hot water hot for bubs bottles & another one for coffee/tea ☺️ love watching you guys!! Sending love from Cairns 🫶🏽
As a beginner, educate yourself: Learn the basics of investing and the stock market. There are many resources available online , including books, articles, and online courses. It’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different stocks and sectors to minimize risk. I’ve heard of people accruing over $550k during recessions and inflation, its important to do your own research
Very true. With the help of an investment advisor, I was able to diversify my $550K portfolio across multiple markets, and in just a few months, I was able to earn over $950K in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks, ETFs, and bonds
My advisor is “ROCH DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* ”. She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care for supervision. I basically follow her trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so
Yeah not even parked in the shade ya lucky nobody saw him you would have been reported to the RSPCA & fined .If you did that in cairns ya Car would be posted all over FB. A Dog can die in a hot Car in 6 mins😠
NEVER leave your dog alone in the car. EVER !!! It might not seem hot to you, but one day you’ll come back to an overheated dead dog leaving you devastated.
Get ya shit together and test for SQUEEKS u pair. Sound proofing as well. Watch your added weight in the van . It is EASY TO GO OVER GVM. EVERY THING YOU BUY HAS TO HAVE 2 USES.
@thatfalzonfamily if you get To W.A. you WILL BE PULLED UP AND WEIGHED. ALL OTHER STATES ARE FOLOWING THESE GUIDLINES Anything towing a trailer is weighed. And if found OVER . IS TOWED AWAY on the spot. I am going to take a guess and say YOU ARE DEFINITELY OVER WEIGHT. By a SUBSTANTIAL amount... and this is before the boat on the roof... this also affects all veichle and van insurance and public indemnity. Spend the money and get someone to weigh you with a report. AND VIDEO IT ON YOU TUBE It will definitely OPEN YOUR EYES. YOUR SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE.
Regarding the airtags you can get collars that have a spot for an airtag and you just pop it in like you would with a phone case.
Just search airtag pet collar
We just bought our first hybrid van, first trip away this weekend!

awww thank you do much that really mean a lot we hope your well 😊
You guys are on a massive learning curve, you got this ❤😊
thank you we love it we are learning so much :)

Im just here for the laughs,and now a boat!
Lol stay tuned for the new boat on the roof
Love it Luke, every new van needs a good christening😂😂🎉🎉

We are looking at getting an inflatable boat instead because the Patrol's have max weight of 100kg including the rack on top ? Are you looking to weigh everything together to see where you're at ?
Woo hoo! Just what i needed, a vid from my fave family❤🎉

Luke LMFAO 😅Christening the van LEGEND & your dad watching 😮 thats gold
❤ Love you guys keeping it real❤
hahahah cheers brother I hope your well stay safe bro
Great adventure guys it’s all a learning curve. We were there about 5 years ago with our first van. Love your down to earth approach 👍
How can you add a boat into the equation? How many ton can you tow?
The boat is going on the roof of the patrol I have a GVM upgrade
how much extra GVM did the upgrade give you?
Love this video. can't wait to see more content while you are on the road ❤❤
its going to be good we cant wait for how are you going?
I'm good how are you?
Ok so, the diesel heater. On start up when you first turn it on, it has to heat up the glow plug. Thats when its drawing the most power, usually around 10amps. Once its been running for a few minutes it backs off and the power isnt being sapped as .
Love it Luke every van need to feel like home😂
hahahaha you no it lol

Make sure you guys have a co2 alarm in the van if running the diesel heater all night while asleep
What for the air it blows at you is only air from the van it doesn’t travel through the combustion chamber of the heater
What does that do?

Great Video Guys after watching it i cant wait for the next one lol have not christened it

Glad you enjoyed it legend 👍🏽 cheers man yeah we will deff get them installed cheers brother
Buy a kettle that goes on your gas cooktop from bcf and you can boil water whenever you want without using power mate
cheers brother good Idea I will deff try it out cheers brother
AirTags wouldn’t be much use out in the bush. They use Bluetooth from phones to ping off and he wouldn’t be anywhere near phones! Wouldn’t want to lose little Rocco 😁
ok good point I have to look into it and no way we love Rocco to much
Good to see what really goes on when caravanning in the beginning. We too have just left home yesterday and had power problems, just teething ones. All sorted now. We too love our diesel heater. How many amps of battery do you have?
How many batteries are you running
When are the fishing videos on the other channel coming back can’t wait
really soon brother thats why I'm doing this to make better fishing videos for you guys
Hey guys just watched your vid we are so happy for you guys yep there’s a lot to learn but you’re doing great.
Noticed that you have Victron stuff which is great "Blue is good" well the best.

Ok for 1260 watts of solar at 70% efficiency would mean on you gauge Cerbo GX monitor you see around 882 watts in full sun.
owww ok thank you for the heads up we will deff check it out and learn how it all works?
It also depends. If the panels are flat on roof you won't get that 70%, which all caravans lay them flat. To get top performance it's best they at a angle.
😂😂❤❤ much love fam
cheers brother
great episode 👏 wife wants to know where you got your bed throw rug cheers
Cheers brother
wanderlust ones for the throw over
You’s are rocking van life
awww thank you we love it so much
Just a suggestion- you guys should try getting a portable stove so that you’re not using as much power on your caravan & maybe try using thermist to keep hot water hot for bubs bottles & another one for coffee/tea ☺️ love watching you guys!! Sending love from Cairns 🫶🏽
thats a good I deal we will deff look into it :)
Your inverter will use around 5 amps per hour just on standby. Turn it off when your not using it
thank you mate I will keep that in mind 👍🏽
Hi guys love the videos just wondering what type of batteries you have fitted AGM or lithium?
hey we will find out and let you no
I love your vids❤
cheers brother how are you?
Good you?
In an emergency maybe get a Jackery for extra power if needed.
Just a thought 😊
Yeah we might have to look into it. Thank you for the heads up mate
i love your vids keep up the good work and good job on hitting 3k followers
Thank you so much 😊 how are you?
Did I see right that the temp inside the van was set to 30C?
yeah it is because we cant change the temp

Nice vid guys. Except for leaving the poor dog in boot of the car.
Yeah he really looked stressed
hes used to it
no hes fine, and we hope your well
@@thatfalzonfamily I was being sarcastic mate, Roc is probably happy for a rest after his adventures
Yeah not even parked in the shade ya lucky nobody saw him you would have been reported to the RSPCA & fined .If you did that in cairns ya Car would be posted all over FB. A Dog can die in a hot Car in 6 mins😠
NEVER leave your dog alone in the car. EVER !!! It might not seem hot to you, but one day you’ll come back to an overheated dead dog leaving you devastated.
So cruel to leave a Dog like that a Car can become hot fast . Wait outside the Shop with him or don’t go .
Christen the van. Asap.😅
❤
Guys you need to learn how to use your gas hot water no need for electricity
Get ya shit together and test for SQUEEKS u pair. Sound proofing as well.
