Rattle/impact guns are not needed for caravan legs - best way to break/crack a leg; just use a regular drill with a low setting. By all means use a rattle gun when changing wheels 😁😁
You appear as though you’ve had this van for months, you made it look very easy with towing on the beach and doing the set up, set down procedures. How beautiful is this region, we are blessed in QLD with many locations and our warmer winters, except for the lack of day light saving, it’s like living in the arctic circle. Nice video all the best with your next van, look forward to seeing more.
Your setup really looks comfortable and efficient - without losing that connection to being outdoors and away from home. I think you've found a decent compromise with that van configuration and hope you're enjoying using it as much as I'm enjoying watching you grow into it after being vehicle based campers for so long. The Prado took as much as I'd ever want to do in its stride. That tow vehicle and van represent a good combo. You've certainly earned the right to a bit of comfort after some of your previous rigs. I laughed when I heard Holly say - "Let's go 22 foot!" No Holly, remember the less is more rule :)
Na the bigger is better for living in its a one bedroom apartment on wheels , the tug is the next thing and bigger is better with them , always remember there's no substitute for cubic inches my friends 😊
Fantastic episode as usual, you two have a flair for cinematography and naturalness in what you do. The Garlic and pepper cheese from Kenilworth tastes like Kabana, your welcome
First it was from tents/swags into RTTs, and/or Troopies w/conversions, But now it looks like many are now moving from that onto caravans. Is this the natural progression as you get older?
Thanks for sharing, good to see small is OK as well and good starting point and interested at what size you stop at. Never drank a cup of coffee in my life and don't want to after every youtuber have to show you they do ! Mainly love your channel as its so family friendly along with great content and fantastic photography and commentary. Thanks again and have seen and enjoyed your passed travels. Bill Mc
As much as I don't like towing when going off-road, I like the ability to setup a base camp, while you explore the area on your 4WD. Plus it is so much more comfortable than my RTT (no matter how good the mattress is).
Hey Matt love the content you and Holly put out. You both seem so honest and down to earth. Don't use an impact driver on the legs you will break the bevel gear or the split pin in the back of it. Just use a drill
@OverlandTravellers thanks for the reply. Keen to see where you guys go with a 16ft hybrid. We have a 15ft full height goldstream van we plan on taking to some places you have been
OK, looks awesome but I really what to known what brand the chairs (and foot rests) are? Been looking for something to replace the tired one we have. Great Vid👍👍😁😁
@@RoseRosesPlace they are by Navigator Gear and can definitely recommend. These ones are their layback chair, they have a few different styles navigatorgear.net.au/collections/chairs-and-table
HI Matt and Holly..still loving the content now you have also moved to "Caravan Life" like us. Just a quick question with the split bed as Matt I think you are my height...does your hip sink into the gap between the two mattresses? Or do you guys sleep "East/West" rather than "North/South"
@@OverlandTravellers Oh, that's the pity. It's a beautiful walk to a swimming hole with a waterfall that overlooks a valley. Maybe its good you didn't. It can stay a hidden gem :P
It still blows my mind how many people drive their vehicles through bonnet deep salt water up at DI Lagoon 🤯 Tip- don't buy a second hand 4x4 from Sunshine Coast. NIce vid, it really is a great area.
I hope you still own the troopy guys never sell it trust me never put comfort ahead off reliability , them pies look great 👍 i pray they make bacon and egg pies their my favourites 😋

Glad to see the return of Matt's camp cooking show 😂
Nice work showcasing a great part of Queensland! Your videography and storytelling game is on point 👌🙌
Thanks so much, we’re really enjoying putting these videos together!
Once you go van, you won't go back (I know I wont). Welcome to caravanning life, hope we see you on the road some day.
It is a very different kind of travel but we are loving it!

I just subscribed cause of the way that stone you threw floated
@@LisaLiz-t2b this comment made my night 😂 I’ve been waiting for my stone skipping skills to be appreciated!

We'll have to get back to Kenilworth one day and try some more of that cheesy goodness!
@OverlandTravellers pretty sure IGA n some others stock it, I know Fresh n Save do n found it at Coles in WA
Great episode guys. How good is the luxury of van life 👌

@@HammerRocks sure is mate, life moves on! But we will be doing more troopy trips this year :)
Yep
love the footage, super good quality and i love the story telling. well done!
Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback.

@@fatmanoverlanding yes over the years we’ve made our RTT’s as comfortable as possible, but you just can’t beat and full sized inner sprung mattress.

@@michaeldiener8148 yes I’ve been told that a few times now. I have a drill as well so I’ll use that. Thanks for watching :)

Awesome thanks heaps appreciated 👍👍
What is your blue table and chair setup? Thank you
Its from Navigator gear. The table is very compact and can be bought up to double the height it was at in the video.

@@AshleyPearceImages hey mate thanks for watching! I didn’t have that issue, but Holly found that her hip did sink into it a bit.
damn you stayed in all my fav camp grounds in the area. Please tell me you did the Booloumba falls walk
We didn’t! Didn’t know it was a thing :(
@@OverlandTravellers Oh, that's the pity. It's a beautiful walk to a swimming hole with a waterfall that overlooks a valley. Maybe its good you didn't. It can stay a hidden gem :P
How many skips with the stone? Very speccy
Mate at least a thousand I lost count
Is the colour Frosted White?
@@attingalarun yes :)
the 250 toyota landcruiser prado gx have enough storage headlights????
@@dominickmiecik9549 no it doesn’t actually. It’s actually quite bad! We need to sort something out
It still blows my mind how many people drive their vehicles through bonnet deep salt water up at DI Lagoon 🤯 Tip- don't buy a second hand 4x4 from Sunshine Coast. NIce vid, it really is a great area.
Yeah I would be straight to the car wash
I hope you still own the troopy guys never sell it trust me never put comfort ahead off reliability , them pies look great 👍 i pray they make bacon and egg pies their my favourites 😋
We still have the troopy and planning this years trip in it!
Watxhing the fools drive through bonnet deep salt water made me feel ..... confused
@@dn059 yep I think I would have pulled up, got the camp chairs out, cheese, bikkies a beer and waited for the tide 😂
troopy with the van to kakadu
@@AmmannDavid66 we’re doing one better…. Lining it up now ;)
@ keen to see!
Damn straight we QLDers need to get on daylight saving. Great video and best of luck with the new car.
Haha its a good thing! Cheers for the comment
Please don't be those people who use power tools to set up their caravan/camper! Bloody annoying!!!

1450Nm Ugga Dugga 🤔
@@SJI_77 Just needs a half ugga dugga ... with the proper tool.
Mine is all hydraulic i just turn Buttons and pump away it's so quiet and easy, thank you roadstar ❤
Jealous
Is it a comm9n issue with the new Prad9 sagging in the bum when towing. It seems every video shows this. I just wondered if airbags are required.
@@brentonl2631 getting a full suspension upgrade soon :)
