Glad everything has worked out for you. These keyboard trolls need to be called out so good on you.
Yes they do indeed! Thanks for your support.
Cannot understand criticism of RUclipsrs - you guys do a lot of work just in editing and uploading your life for us to enjoy. We’re travellers too and can sympathise to all your comments. We love your channel and admire both of you - you do a terrific job.

Yes agree 👍 your kindness is appreciated!
Filming straight after the accident is a good thing because it show how traumatic the event was to you and also documents a clear picture of the scene directly after the accident.
Totally agree! It's crazy how filming in the moment can capture the intensity of the situation. Thanks for watching
Yep , and also while most people are decent, now and again you run into despicable types that will cause an accident and then blame the other party , or even just take off , years ago we were had a car run into the back of our Ute while we where stopped at the lights , which shocked the driveline and jammed our car in between gears , , the dude that ran into us backed up and took off , unfortunately there are people out there that are scumbags , so yes , dash cam and or document everything with your phone if possible .
Loved the closing comments about the Trolls great work lol
Only been subscribed since seeing the accident incident, all food for thought on the content covered since, enjoy your travels and life, as to the negative trolls, way to many sad people out there, I enjoy your videos each week. Gary and Sue
Thanks guys 🤩
you are both so genuine and down to earth people, true blue Aussies, it's shameful that some morons leave negative comments. I'm happy that things are working out for you both after the trauma you've had to endure. Love your videos, well done ❤
Thank you so much!😊
Great job documenting your experience , this will help others .
And the speedy way RACQ got the business done with the assessment and payout is something to be seen , Well done RACQ !
Enjoy your new van ….. stay safe 😊.
Thank you ☺️ we are feeling ready for our next chapter of adventures and hope to see you next episode 🙌
I also like seeing Mr B being a chatterbox which he has been in this vlog because I think he was very quiet in your trip to Uluri and Yulara 😮
Thanks for watching MrB is usually very quiet and Im the load one makes a good balance, however MrB speaks about things when needed.....hope to see you next episode.
I totally agree with you Mr B, trolls don't need to be out to try put people down. They are so annoying and terrible people and so dislike them and there comments. Never forget the time where "Just Vanning It" had those trolls too where they made disrespectable comments about Sue and they thought of stopping videos but glad they didn't as we don't what those Trolls to ruin it for everyone else who love these videos that you all make. Looking forward to the start of your adventure in the new van again. Thankyou for your video's and being who you both are as great to see the fair dinkum Aussies in the real and not fakes
Thanks for your support and kindness!
I first saw you for the accident utube.
My heart went out for you.
Have been watching for your updates.
So glad you are ok and things are coming together for you again.
We are about to retire and will be getting a new car and van to travel across the country.
So all your information is greatly received and loged for reference in the future.
Especially insurance.
❤😊
Guys your videos are inspirational what you have been through is gut wrenching. As for the narcissistic trolls it doesn’t take much to spot them does it, don’t even read their crap. Keep going strong onward & upward & back to doing what you enjoy,can’t wait for your next video love you guys❤
We love you guys ❤ you are so down to earth and we are so happy for you that it has all worked out well for you - good things come to good people and Amanda you are an emotional love, just like me ❤I felt it every time😊 Dave you are a sweetheart, we look forward to more 👍 stay safe Lyn and Bob
Thank you so much for your kindness and we look forward to our next lot of adventures soon 🤗
So very sorry you've been through what you have, and to then have trolls making negative comments is disgraceful. Good on you for calling them out. All upwards from here 😊
Glad to see you guys are doing ok. Keep doing what you are doing. I can't wait to see you guys in the next episode. It's one of the things that I look forward to every week ❤
Thank you! Will do!☺️
HEY GUYS, GREAT CONTENT, stop explaining yourselves, ignore the ignorant fools. Keep telling your story, stay safe
Thank you !
You summed up everything so well. I am a Gold RACQ member and have taken advantage Untracare in the past breaking down in Bourke. I am now living full time in a van appreciate the life and love it. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks for you kindness and we will continue, we wish you also safe travels.
Another really good video, plenty of good advice as well as an insight into the day to day of that lifestyle of travelling. I don't understand you receiving negative comments etc, the main thing that Donna and I enjoy about watching your videos is the realness of how you both are on camera. Ignore the negativeness and please just keep being yourselves.
Thank you for you kindness 🤩
Your channel came up when you posted the accident video. I’m not travelling yet, but I’m planning on it in the further. Ignore the trolls. Just from watching a few videos of your, you are both so down to earth and share such useful information. There are so many videos showing the just the fun side of camping and travelling around Australia - which is great. But this side is so important too. I’m sure through sharing about your incident, you’re helping so many people with thinking about putting plans in place if things go wrong. Thank goodness you’re ok. I’m sure nobody needs to tell you, it could have ended so much worse.
Take care. Looking forward to following along with your next adventures.
I truly appreciate your thoughtful message. It's viewers like you that make sharing my experiences so rewarding.
Citylink and Eastlink in Victoria charge dual cabs as a truck when using toll roads
I Went on a return Journey through Melbourne Via the Calder Freeway , Tullamarine Freeway and the Monash Freeway to Dandenong 27/6/24 Dual Cab Ute only, not towing caravan and the Toll Cost was $36.98. I left Maldon in Central Vic @ 5.45am and got to Melbourne around 7.15am and Dandenong 8.25am A good run with light traffic and no fools. If taking a caravan through Melbourne aim to reach city centre around 6.30 - 7.30am traffic will be starting to build but not insane
Great vid love you guys you are just so down to earth good on you mr &mrs B
Thanks for watching and your kindness!
Im so clad your all ok even the other people in the car. We looked at RACQ ultra care and went throught all the cover they has as you know. We chose Club 4x4 becasue of the total recovery of both the car & caravan as a package IE towing the van/4x4 to a repairer, accomadation lenght period flights, trailer hire also was covered.. Club 4x4 were lowever cost and more cover after an crash or recovery, and we have looked into this exact situation you have been in and the cover we have as I said is more than RACQ Ultra care.(note we have been with RACQ Ultra care before)
Very sorry you received any negative comments This was your home glad you were both safe Have brought new van and will continue your travels Thanks for sharing
I’m glad you are both ok after the accident. I agree a Ute is a Falcon or Commy. The others are SUVs.
Mr and Mrs B you guys are fantastic wishing you happy and safe travels in the future 💯👍🙏
Thanks so much 🙌
Looking forward to seeing a walk through of your new caravan and as Mr B said, please be courteous to other drivers 😮 Stay safe
Thank you for your for watchng yes walk thru coming soon!
Great video guys. Dont take any notice of those keyboard warriors. They don't live in the real world. We are motorhome travellers too though have a home base on the Fraser Coast. I like forward to your continuing adventures!
Thank you so much Im sure our paths many cross on the road to adventures!
Relatively new to caravanning and your channel. Glad you are both ok. Thanks for sharing. Just shows how short life can be. Enjoy and keep doing what you are doing. Thank you
Thanks and welcome !
Just watched your latest show and what can we say. You guys are absolutely amazing. To have gone through the worst possible times and be so positive. We are appalled to hear about the trolls and agree that they need to move onto a different channel. We do after all have free choice. The information you provided about insurance was very informative and has helped us making choices easier. If ever you are in WA and need a driveway we would be only too happy to have you. Have a wonderful week and looking forward to next Sunday.❤
Your offer for a driveway in WA is incredibly generous. We're touched by your hospitality.
Glad you are over the worst. I know the trauma of the accident, having had a trailer blow a tyre whilst towing a Jaguar behind a Saab9000 twenty years ago. The trailer weight dropped onto the towbar, which lifted the car front wheels, travelling downhill. No control and rolled down the road, went through the Armco, and hit a bridge support. Everything written off, walked away from it. Not nice at all, the insurance pay out was two and a half times what I paid for the car, quite a surprise. The trailer manufacturer had built a number of faulty trailers resulting in multiple accidents for users of them. Hope you have a better future towing.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always good to hear stories from others who have been through similar situations. Safe travels to you.
I suggest fitting an engine guard to your tow vehicle. Six years ago near Casino NSW, we had a fan belt break, which took out a radiator hose on the Prado and by the time I realised we had a problem the engine was cactus. NRMA platinum cover was brilliant, we were looked after like we were one of the family.
See you on the road somewhere.
Thank you so much for watching and your kindness! It means a lot to us both and we hope to see you next episode.
Great informative episode guys.. we are so very grateful you are safe & have your beautiful van.. very proud of you both.. ❤❤❤
Glad you got it all sorted so quickly. Keep trucking.
Hi Guys. Thank you for all of this information. We are about to head south in our “truck” & van. watching your episode about insurance, I immediately text my partner to check the insurance on the van. So thank you so much. Glad you guys are ok😊❤
Thank you 🤩 travel safe glad you checked 👌
Thanks for a great follow up after the accident video. Wishing you safe travels
Thank you for your content and keeping it real. Be happy and safe always.
very well described &good luck for future !keep on trucking !!
I personally liked your Jeep but I prefer the Grand Cherokee 😮
We loved the Jeep too but wasnt going to work long term as to many check engine lights and sensors and it was built for wheeling not touring.
I am so heartbroken you had to go through this. As caravaners we feel your pain. We are in WA and we are with RAC for our car and caravan and we also only travel at 90klms which is also good for economical fuel wise. I have prayed thanks that you are both well and uninjured. Driving tired and worse still uninsured is irresponsible but he now has to live with this. Hopefully a lesson has been learned by him. I wish you safe travels ❤❤❤❤❤❤ we travelled for 6 months and we also called up trucks and slowed or pulled over so they could pass. We found them very considerate. As for the trolls not worth wasting time or energy on them.
Thanks watching and your kindess , also for sharing your experience safe travels!!
Great to see you are both ok and mostly over the tragedy great videos keep up the great work. I am an ex pusser too I was on Melbourne and Perth joined in 1970 as a medic (S.B.A.), I suppose the reason Mr B is quiet it seems most ex servicemen are like that to be given orders and do them and keep your mouth shut. Looking forward to next Sunday.
Thank you for watching and your serice too!
Thank you, I'm about to go check our insurance now. Cheers
Glad to hear hope it worked out!!!!
Just want to say thankyou for all the info you have give everyone safe travels.
So pleased it all worked out for you guys ❤
Really appreciate the openness about insurance etc xx
Keep the videos coming guys, love ya work. I'm looking forward to having a look at the new van.
Great video. Handled with class and decorum. Narcissist people can say what they like, but I know you guys, and you'll always feel the love from me.
Don't ever change, be yourselves, and enjoy the ride. You're still here because of God's grace, and nothing can outweigh that. Love you both and wouldn't have you any other way. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We really appreciate it.
Just watched this episode and it was very informative thank you.
All the best to you both
Really enjoyed your positive outlook and realistic views...shit happens and you handled it with resilience and forward thinking..wouldn't want to have gone through your accident but appreciate you sharing your new knowledge !
Love your videos and so good to see you both smiling after the trauma of the accident - looking forward to the new van tour and your future travels...stay safe x
Thank you so much it has been alot going on but feeling like we are ready with our new home on wheels.
Well done. You do a very good job of providing practical, well thought out detail. Thank you for the comment on how reassuing it was to have the dash cam footage, if you needed it. After 18 years of motorhoming, I finally purchased one.
Great video, I have just done all of our insurances and for this reason have made sure both our vehicle and van are insured for what we need to replace it with, if anything does happen. It doesn’t take long to make a call to check.
Great to hear 🙌safe travels
We are glad you are doing well, thanks for the really helpful information on insurance it’s something that is so hard to work out … thank you ❤
Love your transparency. What a journey you guys have endured. So glad you’re doing ok. 😊
Nice to see you are both okay - rotten experience but onwards and upwards. Have just found your channel and looking forward to seeing more.
Welcome aboard! Thank you ☺️
Thank you Mr & Mrs B that was very informative. It's such a shame you had to go through what you did to warrant a video on this content but the little sneak peek of your new van, it looks lovely. Hopefully you can put this all behind you and head off and enjoy your lovely new van making more adventures and happy memories this time. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Ignore the 'Negative Nancy's' they have nothing better to do. Sharon
Thank you for your kindness ☺️
Thankyou for your update. Glad you are both OK. 😊
Our pleasure! Thank you ☺️
Glad You R Both Ok -Your Honesty & Authencity Is Valued - Blessings & Best Wishes :)

Thank you for making this video on your experience, it's been very informative and shows the importance of having good insurance
well done guys, good content. congratulations on the new van and hope your journey continues very soon.
Thanks so much!
A great video guys. The reflections and outcomes of your accident was awesome. Your vlog on the side of the road ensured we looked at our set up and insurance.
Thankyou.
Thank you!
I wish u all the luck for what ever u chooses to do ahead. And safe travel going ahead.
Love your honesty and you keep it real ..as u say ..if u don’t like us move on ..well said ..
So happy you guys are all good to go can't wait to follow your travels as my husband and myself are gearing up to go ,love your tips too .
Good luck for you upcoming adventures and we both glad to have helped!!
we have only discovered your channel since you've had your accident. and we can 100% empathise with everything you've said in this video and the last few. We wrote our trailer off on the nulliabour. The shock at the time was increadible and in the days and months that came. We left the trailer in the hands of the tow truck after we got as much as possible out of it on the side of the road. and all we wanted to do was turn around and come home. I have so much i want to say about how we feel for you. I have no real words. videos like yours are invaluable for people to be aware of all the things that people should know incase the worst moments happen. best of luck in your future.
Thank you so much for your kindness and comments it means a lot to both of us, we are blessed with community support and hope to be heading off on adventures again soon, we hope to see you again next episode.
Thanks again for your openness, very glad you are getting sorted and your experience can/will be helpful to others. Hope to cross paths with you someday to have a real chat. Goodonya both. Safe travels.
Thank you, and be sure to keep an eye out we would love to say hi 🤗
Hi Guy's, thanks for this follow up video after the incident (glad everyone is OK). Very informative video and very interesting to hear your experiences with the police and Insurance. Good luck and I will be tuning in on all your adventures.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your support.
Thanks Mr B for what you said about “think about others on the road” so many need to hear what you said! Also you two compliment each other, one fun, smile and exciting the other a real man a thinker, if you get a chance have a look at “Laugh your way to a better marriage” so much like you two 3 parts on Tube.
Thanks for your work
Guy
Thank you for your kind words and for appreciating our content.
We have not long been following you but are pleased to have found you. All the best with your new van adventures. We look forward to watching.
Thank you so much 😊 hope to see you next episode
Wow it's been a journey...awesome to see everything has worked out...can't wait to see your travels! 👍
Yes we are excited too! Thank you for watching and hope to see you next episode!
Great vid guys thanks for the honesty and keep them coming. One concern I have is with the insurance, I really hope I’m wrong but the difference between agreed and market value, Agreed is the price you and your insurance company settle on for your vehicle and market value is the price your vehicle brings on the second hand market not new remember insurance companies are not there to make your life better just to take your money and baffle you with loop holes. I encourage everyone to read there policy and then read it again and then read it again and again and if your still not happy contact them sort it out and get it all in writing otherwise you will be left out in the cold and they move on to the next person without giving you a second thought. Sorry for the downer but ask me how I know. Cheers and happy travels
Thanks for your comments and kind words, we recieved the whole amount back for the van as it was brand new, yes there is a difference best check all policies and companies are different.
It’s sad that you are receiving negative comments. They obviously have their own issues that they are going through and taking it out on you guys. Keep doing what you are doing and just skip over those nasty comments. (Can you block them?) cheers Steve
Your encouragement means a lot, Steve. We appreciate your understanding and positivity.
Thanx for another great clip and info 👌
Wow guys … awsome honest ep.. so glad everything has worked out well…. Safe travels 🤙🍻
Thanks so much!
Hi guys, we came across you by accident. You had the accident, it came through our feed, we subscribed. Heads up though, it’s probably not a sustainable RUclips business model. Lol. Anyway, we are building our own 18’ van so it’s interesting to here about the insurance. You cannot insure an unfinished van in Queensland, it must be registered and have an independent valuation on completion. Prior to this though we needed an engineer certificate because we have built everything from the chassis to the composite body. Like you we are risk averse and have insurance ON EVERYTHING so it’s unnerving to have $90k (+ labour) tied up in your driveway that’s uninsured. Anyway, we love your videos and glad to see you are both well. Look forward to seeing how the new van goes for you. Thanks.
Thank you for watching and you kindness ☺️
I think it's good u filmed for all of us..
Hi, great to see you are both doing well, just both keep doing what you’re doing and have fun with your new adventures all the best from the uk ❤👍🇬🇧☀️
Thank you, we are loving seeing UK viewers! Your support means a lot!
Hi, First up thankyou Mr B for your service to our country. I dont tow a van but found your channel and loved what you both do and now subscribe to it. Glad you both came out of the accident unscathed, you cannot be replaced cars and vans can. This video has had some amazing information for people to ponder and access on the does and donts of towing and thankyou for that. I wish you both safe and happy travels for the future and will be following your adventures.
Your support means the world to us. We're grateful for viewers like you who appreciate the information we share.
Hi Mr and Mrs B you guys have been through a lot, so glad you are both OK now . I so enjoy your travels and look forward to seeing more of your adventures. This is a dream of myself and my husbands to do some travelling around Australia, but sadly we can't afford it. Take care guys, safe travels. 😊
Thank you for your kindness ☺️ you never know I’m sure one day you will travel and have adventures of a life time 🙌
Great insight.
Hello Mr and Mrs B.
Thank you for the update. So glad to see you both looking refreshed, and that everything is working out for you. Suz and I have watched all your Tassie videos which we absolutely loved. Looking forward to seeing more of you. Love you and your channel. Cheers❤️💙
Thank you so much for kindness, and ohhh Tassie we will be back I'm sure we missed some of it !
I have wonder about some of the questions. Good on you for answering all of them. Great detail about the 'incident'.
Thanks for all the information. Thanks for all the tips.
Looking good guys. And glad its all working out for the best. And next time your down in SA maybe try to have a meet up.?? My housemate and i both have vans . Be good to tell stories about trips. Cheers
That sounds like a great idea! We'd love to meet up and share some travel stories with you.
glad to see you guys are good keep up the great content cheers carl
Tks Guys. Wishing you all the very best.
Thank you ☺️
you did that so well Answered everything which I was thinking and I do agree you may have saved his life by slowing the vehicle down. and yes there are nasty people out there. Well done
Love your content. I'm glad you're on the road again. That has been quite a journey you've been on over the past few weeks. I'm also pleased with your insurance and RACQ info. We wouldn't be without support from RACQ. I'm looking forward to the walk around of your new rig and mods on the ute. Stay safe and thanks for being there for us mere mortals and as you say, stay safe. Cheers.
Thanks for watching and you comments, we are staying with RACQ.
We are subscribers and regular watchers, albeit normally via the van TV, so don't get to see the comments made by others. What absolute jerks some people are!!
We thought you so brave the day of the accident and were in awe of you. The stress you were under! My goodness ! Thank you for sharing the things you have. Your honesty and openness, amazing. As a couple, (on the road for about 18mths), we've now had some really deep and meaningfuls about what if that had been us... Thank you . Enjoy your new van. May you have some wonderful times in it.
Thanks for you kind words, it was a hard one to film but glad we did, as it was a haze just hours after, would not wish it on anyone!!!! we were lucky! Keep safe on your travels and hope to see you next Sunday!
Thanks for the info on the Insurance issue guys.. Was surprised to hear that the Assessor didn't have the caravan weighed.
Good to see you are happy with your new rig. Safe travels in the future 😀
Thanks for watching, we were under weight but agree totally that there are to many vans travelling over and are accidents waiting to happen.
Glad you lovely guys are ok and safe,after to what happened,it's a shame there are a lot of arrogance in this world towards people.
You both are amazing people.
Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for the breakdown of events and results. Thank god you walked away in one piece and so did the other driver. Very eye opening, we are potential travellers in the next 5 years; I’m 100% with Mr B. Regimented; too the rules; insurances locked and loaded. Well done on your new van and thankfully it’s worked out better than I expected it would. Well done RACQ. Matt
Love your channel keep up the good work Mr and Mrs B
thank you so much
Lovely couple, Mr B & Mrs B ❤
Thank you 🤩
So glad to see your both doing well, I am a new owner of a Avan. sporty her name is Ruby .
Thankyou for such an informative video. We are about to check all our insurance. Glad to see you looking healthy and positive.
Thank you ☺️
