  • In this episode, we will answer all your questions about traveling in our converted Ford Transit campervan for the last three years.
    We’ll answer questions about traveling with a dog around Australia, camp cooking, our favourite places to camp, the cost of travel, why we started vanlife in the first place, and so much more!
    So, if you’ve ever wondered if vanlife is for you, this is the RUclips episode! With three years of experience, we have so much to share, and we’re still learning every day on the road as we travel Australia - one town at a time.
    We hope you enjoy our channel. We enjoy part-time van life, creating weekly episodes that are live at 5pm (AEST) on Sundays, and sharing our experiences on our travels with our cavoodle, Twyla. In our episodes we stay at free and paid campsites, showing our tips and tricks for making life on the road easier and fun. Come join us on our adventures!

    Enjoyable episode. 17 years is pretty solid🤗. I actually enjoy your no frills travels. I have a caravan but I’m starting to obsess over a campervan now 😂

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  Месяц назад

      Thanks for checking out the episode really appreciate it. There are definitely pros and cons to have a campervan or a caravan. For quick travels the campervan seems to suit us. Just quick and easy to hit the road and get out there but if you’re going to do more long stays I think that’s where a caravan is better. Good luck with your decision. Thanks again for watching.Regards Deano

    I hate camping, you get dirty and if it rains, yuck. We’ve had motorhomes, big ones and medium size ones. Big caravans and medium, at the moment we have a small van and to be honest it’s the best we’ve had but yeah like you now it’s just taking the basics and it makes it so easy. We travel with two dogs, one small and one medium still the small van is big enough. When I think of the stuff we had in that big motorhome it was crazy. Thanks for the toilet app I didn’t know about that. Basic is so easy. Yeah meet up but not with such a high number of subscribers, to many people. Again great video guys. ❤️

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  Месяц назад +2

      I’m hearing you definitely not a fan of big vehicles although that works for some people specially when you’re selling your house and travelling full-time. Adam and I love our van and even if we got a new modern van would still go the same size we Love to be able to park in town in a normal car park. We don’t need much as long as the road together we Twyla we’re happy. But like I was saying it depends on what you want some people Love to have big roomy vans but that’s just not us. We only have 5000 subscribers which we really appreciate but the same time maybe once we hit 10,000 will think about having a meet up. Trust me we’re not that exciting to meet. lol People we find exciting people watches we love meeting people that follow us and finding out what they’re all about. Thank you so much for watching really appreciate you watching us safe travels and hopefully we met up one day soon. Regards the boys & Twyla

    Great episode , we are currently selling our caravan , when we do, we will be getting ourselves a campervan . In the meantime, we have hired a campervan for 2 weeks to see what we can and can not live without. It should be interesting. Thanks for all your videos. We love watching them. Have now loaded Wikicamps and Toilet Map apps on my phone . Maxine

    Really cool Q and A. You both look handsome as ever when you first met. May you have another 40 years together.
    My son and I would love to do a camp or meet up one day. You would love Uluru, we went in 2021, did a 10 day Ghan with a lot of tours, activities. Its pretty far from Alice Springs approx 4 hrs but Alice Springs is not a town I would want to visit again unless some serious improvements happen. Uluru and Simpson Gap and surrounding areas are gorgeous day and night. There is alot of things to explore from nature, art installations, dinner at the rock under the stars. Truly incredible experience. We went April and had nets, there was not too many flies.

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  17 дней назад

      Thank you, Michelle for your kind words. Wouldn’t it be spectacular having dinner in front of the rock? It’s the last state I need to visit before saying that I’ve travelled all of Australia so looking forward to doing it one day soon. You guys must’ve had so much fun exploring there. Thanks again for watching the episode. Hope you have an awesome week. Hope to see you Sunday.

    Enjoyed the episode. My best friend lives in St leonards so when I watched your episode at St leonards I suggested it to him so hopefully he subscribed. I also enjoy country bakeries and have been in search of the perfect sausage roll for years. If you find one please let us know. lol Once you get to a certain number of subscibers it will take off and grow more rapidly. Good luck!

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  Месяц назад

      That is awesome! Definitely if I find a good sausage roll will let you know. Thanks for letting your friend know about us. and hopefully you’re alright when it comes to our channel growing will be working hard at this for the last three years that one day it will take off and we can do full-time and take everyone along for the journey. Hope you keep enjoying your channel kind regards the boys and Twyla

    Great ep and happy 3rd anniversary! ❤ I have the 'field guard head sheild by outfox' from Puss n Pooch too for Phoebe, it works great for flies, preventing her from eating bait or other things she shouldnt, and it is also good keeping grass seeds out of eyes, mouth and nose (what it was originally made for). Highly recommend. Only downside to a traditional muzzel is that it is hard to drink through for her and also no way to give treats. But otherwise a really good product 👍 You guys need to get over to Tassie, the free camping is awesome! And Id love to have a meet up but too hard from Darwin at the moment 😫

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  Месяц назад +1

      Thanks for checking out the episode and yes, I’ll definitely look into the outfox thanks for sharing. Hopefully within the next year will head over to Tassie if all things go right we’re about to crack another state soon but I’ll keep that as a surprise where we going still might be a little while till we do a meet and greet so you never know what will happen Thanks again for watching the episode. Really appreciate it. I hope you have an awesome week. Hope you can tune in Wednesday at seven and Sundays at 5 to catch up on a later episodes. Regards Deano

    Have you ever been to Loch. It is a small town in south east Gippsland. Great eating places and a few other shops. There is a distillery open Friday Saturday Sunday. And I think there is a winery. Not sure about that. But a really nice town. Think you can camp on edge of town.

    Hi guys what's your favourite campervan if you could pick on

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  Месяц назад

      We definitely have many camper vans we love but definitely check out the emu RV episode we have visited these guys many times at the caravan show and they have such an amazing van. I will definitely say they are not budget they are high-quality and if we had the money I’ll definitely buy one. But if it’s not in your price range, there’s definitely a lot out there to look at including secondhand.. that’s what Adam and I have done and we still enjoying our adventures after three years in our old Ford transit camper van. Anybody can do what we can do from sleeping in the back of the car attend an old van or a secondhand one like ours you can do it. Good luck and safe travels.

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  Месяц назад

      We love our van and we love our van size. If we were to upgrade will definitely stay the same size. We find it very convenient to be able to park anywhere in a town without him to park a mile away to fit a van in this is mainly because we only travel weekends, if we were setting up for weeks at a time, maybe then we would consider a bigger van. For someone who is retiring and travelling around Australia definitely recommend going bigger and taking a car along with them. But for us this is perfect for what we do. Thanks for watching the episode. Really appreciate your question. Safe travels and happy adventures. Regards Deano

    Where is the dog backpack from again?

    • @kingdeanoadventures
      @kingdeanoadventures  Месяц назад

      It’s a canine dog backpack. Our version is a sport sack. If you look up that name on the Internet, you should be able to find a shop that stocks it we brought out from Sydney but you should be able to find one in your state.
