Hey guys, wow, I was not expecting that! We've really gotten used to watching you deliver such honest and amazing content every week, which is really rare on RUclips nowadays, especially in this genre. We'll miss your smiling faces and inspiration. That said, all the very best with the holidays, new car, and the business! Catch you in a few months. Take care and stay safe. Kind regards, Corrie. Oh BTW HAPPY 40th Mel 🎉
Thanks Corrie. We're pretty sad to have to take the break too, with all the progress we've made lately but it was necessary. I'm hopeful we can just pick up where we left off and also super excited to start what's going to be a new chapter.
Enjoy the break guys. I've been loving the past ones as RUclips suggests them and learning lots to hopefully hit the road too. Enjoy your trip and hope to see you on the road again soon!
Enjoy your break guys. Stay safe and I look forward to your return. Thank you for sharing your traveling life with us. Regards and God bless you all, Bryan.
Hi Guys, enjoy your well deserved break. Thank you so much for the years of entertainment, tips and tricks and your personal stories. Your honesty and truthfulness about caravan life is just so refreshing and great to see and hear and also very rare with nearly all of the others. Once again enjoy your break good luck with the new job and hopefully see you in a couple of months Take care Colin and Chris
Like everyone else here, I wish you all the very best on your new adventure. The new truck sounds exciting and I look forward to seeing it. Thank you for the regular vlogs. they are both informative and exciting. all the best.
Wow, that's very exciting news for you guys! A well-deserved break. Enjoy the o/s holiday guys and the road trip & Barossa Mel. Happy 40th Mel 🎉❤ Good luck with the new car and the new business. Who are we going to watch each week now, haha!!?? We'll miss you guys and your informative videos. Take care and see you next week, oops, see you in a few months 😂 ❤❤
Thanks Lyn, I see @ourwhittleadventure is back on the road now. We travelled with them a bit in TAS, they are lovely people. Will be back in approx. 3 months and I look forward to sharing everything we've been working on.
Enjoy the break guys, we just found you yesterday but have already watched many of your vids they're so entertaining. Really love your openess about the occasional struggles, interesting to hear about finances and mistakes on the road which most are too proud to talk about. We're setting off for the very first year off next year and find you guys so very inspiring. Really hope we cross paths somewhere on the road for a cold Emu or two, seem like great people. Please keep up the excellent work and look forward to watching!!
I live in Missouri, the middle of the US. We used to live on the west coast and camped often, since we've moved it has been a lot less frequent but as we get more settled in we are going a bit more. I just find it very interesting the differences and similarities between our set ups. I have to have a converter available when you talk numbers and weights HAHA. In the last video I watched was getting your weights right. Correct me if I am wrong but 6000 kilograms is the total combined weight of the car and caravan correct? 6000Kilo converts to just over 13,000lbs, thats what we call CGVWR, Combined Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. My F150 has a CGVWR of 14,300lbs so just under 6500K. I just find that very interesting and it makes me wonder why when my truck is so much bigger. Any ways hope to see more new videos soon, enjoy your time away!
Hi there, yes it sounds like your CGVWR and our GCM are the equivalent of each other. however 6500kg seems low for a F150, I just googled F150 GCM in Australia and it came up with 7765kg or 17119 lb's. We will be back putting out videos very soon, thanks for watching them.
Congrats on new rig. Pls do a rundown if not to late on the bt. Bought klms date upgrades, failures, costs directy related to klms travlled. My fam are Bout to do a big trip in a 2012 bt so would like to know the shortfalls, this cross references with the px ranger so double plug for views.
Hiya, I did a vid maybe a year ago going over everything on our BT50. It's a great vehicle. Since then only a few breakages. 1. Over heating due to radiator clutch fan (actually went through 2 of them now). 2. Drive shaft broke. Have been told the uni joints are a weak point on them so something to keep an eye on your self. Particularly if towing. It has otherwise been a fantastic car for doing what we do.
Happy birthday Mel, I hope you guys enjoy your break. Looking forward to when you’re back on the channel and seeing your new car and business venture. Might even see you on the road when we start travelling again in August.
Sounds all very exciting and I can only imagine everything that needs to happen behind the scenes. Enjoy your break,your holiday and your birthday celebrations Cheers👍💕🥂
Everyone needs a break no matter what they do in their day to day lives. The week in the Barossa sounds amazing, and what a great way to spend some quality time with your dad driving the car back to Perth. Enjoy the family holiday and we look forward to seeing what your new business adventure is.
Hi guys, very happy for you, hope everything goes as planned and will look forward to when you get back to sharing your lives with us all . Stay safe and happy.
Happy birthday Mel - have a wonderful time celebrating it. We will miss the regular posts but fully understand your why. All the very best for your new company. A new vehicle - so excited for you all. We fully understand your challenges as we are organising an L300 in Melbourne with all the various upgrades it needs from NZ. Take care - wishing you all a fabulous holiday.
ENJOY your well earned break & your 40th Birthday Celebrations Mel. Wishing you all the best with your New Business! Look forward your next adventures. Plus I get to see you all in Queensland❣️Looking forward to that. Mum🥰
Such exciting news and well deserved for you all. Wishing you good luck over the next few months and with your new venture. Happy big birthday Mel enjoy your celebrations (wine my kind of celebration), relax, recharge and take care.
Hi Guys, all the best for your new adventure, what a very exciting next chapter for you and we look forward to hearing about it! Enjoy your holiday away from your holiday 😂 If you have time, we would like to shout you guys a meal while you’re in Perth to say thanks for sharing your experience and life with us. We’ve been inspired by your content. Just reach out and we can make it happen… but otherwise enjoy the peace and quiet. 😊💪🏼🍻
Hi Shaun, that's very kind of you to offer. If you can find us on Facebook or insta and send a DM I can tell you our Movements back in Perth for a potential dinner date.
@goingplacesoz We so enjoy your videos and will miss them while you guys take a break. Happy birthday Mel. Best of luck with the new car and new business. Love your open and honest views of a family travelling in a van. Enjoy the break.
Enjoy the well deserved break and have a wonderful holiday - good decision not to record it. We’ll miss your content and look forward to seeing you back when you are ready. Travel safe Mel with your dad and enjoy your birthday treat.
@@SvedosTrippin Henschke is sensational for a taste but the good stuff is very pricey. Hill of Grace for example. Old Lutheran church communion wine now $500 at bottle. We are about to hit the road soon for a month. Madly packing.
Enjoy your break. You all deserve it. My guess is that the business will be a mobile weigh station? If so, your honesty and experience will be invaluable to your customers
I wish you every success in your business guys, we love watching you every week and hope you're back after a recharge. Your authenticity is unsurpassed and you're our first watched video every week. Take care and see you when you're back.
I thought there was going to be a new baby 😅 enjoy your holiday and hope all goes well for the new venture. Looking forward to seeing your new beginnings ❤
Geez Mel and Brett… and Kaylee and Owen.. did not see that coming and really missed you over the last 2 weeks or so.. therefore will miss you heaps during your break. But just bloody go for it! Have a blast during your holidays, the new car, the road trip with Dad.. can’t wait to see what the business is and once again good on you for having a go. Mel, enjoy your birthday year.. yes Brett, blokes get a birthday, partners get a year🎉🎉🎉🎉❤. Take care in your travels, see you all really soon, Sandy from Kirrawee… 👍🥰
I’m taking a guess your new business is ?? A mobile weighing Service You’ve brought Scales and going to be travelling around weighting caravans New car is a 200 Series Landcruiser Enjoy your holidays, have an awesome time ✈️
There's definitely a need for people to have their set ups weighed, as we discovered. And a big LC200 would be lovely. You will find out soon what we've been working on.
Well enjoy your break and just letting you know you will be missed but it also looks like when you come back it will be bigger and better so looking foward to your return.
That's super cool. Haveing finance is good. Freedom I didn't work for 1 week have 700 available. No work no pay. Waiting on some cash to come inhurance which could be in 10 years. Then i be travelling like u guys
We just take the hit, can all ready see the numbers tanking. It's OK, will come back and start again. We simply diddnt have the bandwidth to do it all at the same time.
I am so pleased that your exciting news was not that you were getting a new Zone caravan! They are being done to death with too many others. Enjoy your break from YT, birthday, business and new vehicle and have a life for a while.
True, but dam the zones do look good. We camped next to "our Australia trip" in Esperance and it does look like a pretty van 😉. But we are very excited for our own changes and hopefully it means we get to keep our independence.
Thanks mate. Almost back on the road, just the South WA bad weather damaged our van so we are waiting for repair. Should be back on the tube in a few weeks.
Lol ok. We're having a break from YT for a couple months while we take a holiday, build a new car and start a new buisness. Will be back in a few months.
I don't know why RUclipsrs HAVE to produce video content every week. Doesnt happen with tv. So go have a good break off-screen. Also, why do RUclipsrs call us vanfam, part of the community etc etc, and when they have some great new, sorry to keep you in suspense you got to wait till next week/time, the hypocrisy... Not unsubscribing as I actually enjoy your content. mixo
Hey mixo. I actually agree with you on so many points. The weekly requirement is so challenging due to our commitments to work and school. We basically try to do 2 full time jobs to hit that requirement, it's super stressful. As for not sharing what we are doing. I personally wanted to say what the car was but then at the same time, if I do, when it's all finished and I share the new car, if everyone knows what it is already many don't click the new video that I spent hours preparing. It's just the YT game, I try to be more honest and forthright than average but I still have to play the YT game because I'm trying to succeed with it. Hope you can understand and thanks for sticking with us, see you in a few months.
@@SvedosTrippin I hear your side, but I have clicked the sub button as you requested, done all the right things and still get punished.I get it's a game but it sometime grates on me.Your not the only one, but as this is one of my favourites I thought I would share thoughts .

A cold Emu, must be from WA. Good luck with all the preparations, do come up and say hi if you see us on the road and thanks for watching.

Enjoy your time off. Looking forward to seeing the new vehicle. 200 series?
A 200 series would be unreal. So many people guessing that way, I'm wondering what hints we gave 🤔.
See you in a few months with the big reveal.
Can’t wait to hear all about your holidays and new adventures! Hopefully we will see you on the Gold Coast!
We will make it happen.
Take care guys
Have love watching your adventures
Thank you, will be back at it in a couple of months.
All the very best guys. Hope everything pans out.

I think it sounds like you are getting a Toyota 🤷♂️😜
So many guesses towards the Toyota. I'm wondering what hints we gave away lol.
Have a good rest mate. The new tow tug sounds good. Don’t forget to visit Henschke winery.
Thank you, I will tell mel to put that one on her list.

Just enjoy your time off when you get back don’t worry we will still be here and I’m curious about the new business and tow car
Cheers mate.
I’m taking a guess your new business is ??
A mobile weighing Service
You’ve brought Scales and going to be travelling around weighting caravans
New car is a 200 Series Landcruiser
Enjoy your holidays, have an awesome time ✈️
🎉Happy 40th Mel🎈🥂
There's definitely a need for people to have their set ups weighed, as we discovered. And a big LC200 would be lovely.
You will find out soon what we've been working on.
Sad for us to not see you weekly but I think you need the break. I look forward to seeing your new business
Thanks, see you in a few months when it's all finished.
Enjoy the break guys. Have a great time!
Thank you
Well enjoy your break and just letting you know you will be missed but it also looks like when you come back it will be bigger and better so looking foward to your return.
Thank you, we are looking forward to getting back on the road for sure. Been nearly 4 weeks of sitting still now.
That's super cool. Haveing finance is good. Freedom
I didn't work for 1 week have 700 available. No work no pay. Waiting on some cash to come inhurance which could be in 10 years. Then i be travelling like u guys
All the best see you when you get out get another “tube” out 👍
Enjoy your well earned break. We’ll be here when you get back 👍👍
Thank you, see you in a few months.
How are you going to keep the algorithm ranking???
We just take the hit, can all ready see the numbers tanking.
It's OK, will come back and start again. We simply diddnt have the bandwidth to do it all at the same time.
Dont be sorry guys. You do what you need to do . We all understand 😊
Thank you.
I am so pleased that your exciting news was not that you were getting a new Zone caravan! They are being done to death with too many others. Enjoy your break from YT, birthday, business and new vehicle and have a life for a while.
True, but dam the zones do look good. We camped next to "our Australia trip" in Esperance and it does look like a pretty van 😉.
But we are very excited for our own changes and hopefully it means we get to keep our independence.
Noice - have a good one....
Thank you.

Thank you, see you in a few months.
Enjoy the break everyone! is it a weighing business? 🤔 See you when you're back.
I can see the need for mobile weighing for sure. Will let you know what it is when we have all the moving parts in place.
@@SvedosTrippin Looks like it was a good guess 😁
The wife and I are missing you guys. Hope everything is going well.
Thanks mate. Almost back on the road, just the South WA bad weather damaged our van so we are waiting for repair. Should be back on the tube in a few weeks.
TL:DR?
Lol ok.
We're having a break from YT for a couple months while we take a holiday, build a new car and start a new buisness.
Will be back in a few months.
