Been in the same situation forgetting diesel before, cracking the drain plug does the trick, but I thought of a less messy way and I just took my fuel hose off the fuel filter and used the primer as a pump to get diesel into bottle as clean as ya can get working with diesel. Cheers🍻 we enjoy your videos alot
That was very nice, entertaining and informative. Off Track dissed the van a bit, earlier this week, given the lack of solar - I dissed them about their ignorant comments.
I’m interested in the awning extension over the slide out kitchen. I have the Thule awning which I’m not a fan of as they seem flimsy and are almost impossible to fold in by one person if a storm hits compared to the roll out style. Anyway, I like the idea of the extension
Always concerned about running off one type of appliance, I always carry an induction cooker as backup to gas kitchen and vice versa. People are complaining about induction on corrugated roads and failing so be interested to see how yours go guys. Awsome vid and it looks like lasagna on the menu for us lol.
Did you happen to catch the recent drone footage of the 30+ school of sharks in the corner of boat beach? Use to camp at Treach, lighthouse and the headland back in the 80’s and 90’s…from memory treachery use to be $5 a car… Old rutile road to myall lakes has been closed for about 20odd years… Awesome area…sandbar is great too…
Thanks Paul. I was talking to a fisherman there that mentioned about seeing a heap of sharks with a drone that morning we were there. May have actually been his footage. 🧐
Megan you're making me very hungry watching this . Just got back from Nambucca heads we live south of Wollongong so it's catch up time with the videos. I've noticed that camp oven you cooked with . Do you recommend it cause the boss won't cook inside the van even though we have two butane cookers I'm looking at some idea of xtra cooking utensils 😊
Nice to see that I'm not the only one that forgets things but, I'm 66 years of age and that's my excuse what's yours. It's ok to see you work well together HA HA HA.
Just came back from a week in Southwest Rocks and trying to explore the area only to keep coming across locked gates was frustrating to say the least! Not sure how it will be reversed now? Any ideas?
Gasless? We wouldn’t go camping without our Weber. Also carry a Jetboil, Kelly kettle & some camp fire cooking gear. Will be happy in the future to trade out our gas camp stove in the future for induction but would never go all electric. Need redundancy in the bush IME🙂
How does the van go inside "size wise" with the kids. I'm trying to get the wife to come-round to the idea of a hybrid with our 2, but she is worried we will be totally squished inside with the 4 of us. Cheers
Hi and thanks for watching. The hybrid suits us and we find this is a great balance of space and size for touring and camping, if you were living in it full time with trying to home school etc. a full size van would be more practical. The smaller size of the hybrid allows us into places that you would struggle with a full size van and is easier and lighter to tow.
National parks won’t even let you take your dog from tea gardens over the bombah pt ferry so there’s no chance they will open the old mine roads again. It’s a shame though. I think it would be good for seal rocks to have an emergency route as they close the town in busy times due to congestion and in the event of a bushfire, people will be trapped. It’s a great spot but way over populated in holiday time since they sealed the road
@@snapcragglepopQLD Govt have been placing large parcels of land into indigenous tittles and they are creating corporations to either lock us out, or charge us fees to utilise our own land through birth right. Australians need to wake up and be proactive in holding councils, State Governments, accountable, we need to get some decent candidates back into parliaments and reverse this legislation that’s occurring in most states and territories now.
easy way to fix locked gates is permit for $5 for example to access for 3 days. All your details registered for cost of a coffee the good get rewarded with access.
was an awesome spot very little crowds. Fast forward social media its now that crowded its not even worth going. Worst thing to ever happen to great places like these. just vid your camping but no have to splash names and tag everything.
Another great video guys...looks like a awsom spot...👍 I've been to most of those areas but must have missed that one in my travels... thanks for showing us. Glad you leave the cock ups in there... makes the rest of us feel normal...🤣 These areas that are getting locked off pisses me off too. I'm not exactly sure what the answer is as there are so many dick heads these days that dump rubbish and do the wrong thing when they are open. Surveillance cameras at the open gate and Getting permits is also annoying but is probably the only real solution. Thats what they've done to Rainbow Beach now days.

Definitely reminds me of every time we go camping. I create a list every thing i forget over the years. ….. then i loose the list
😂
Cool place to go. Nan use to take me up to Mungo Brush from North Arm Cove as a kid to drive the dunes. Some really nice spots to see there
Cheers for watching. 👍🏼

Thanks for watching. Stay tuned as I will give rebuttal on the electrical setup in an interview style ep with them 🤙🏻
i really love the video, the place is so beautiful
Cracker vid, I'm so glad you don't edit out when things go wrong, if life was easy it would be bloody boring! Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks for tuning in 🤙🏻

Yeah I think this design gives the best of both worlds for sure 👍🏼
18:26 100% we should be able to use it.
Agreed 👍🏼
Nutmeg in the white sauce too Megs, you'll thank me later👍
Safe travels guys 🤙
Thanks of watching. Will have to try the nutmeg 👍🏼
I came here to say the same thing.....plus an egg too. To be fair, both were probably on their list of things to pack as well.
lovely ep and spots and awesome setup guys
Thanks mate.

Great point! We also generally carry a butane cooker as another form and back-up way of cooking. Thanks for watching. 🤙🏻
Harper the next little utuber❤
😂😂Harper dobed you in Megan 😂😂
Another wine and the problem will go away 👍
Tell me about.

Thanks for tuning in. Yeah the 12v oven has been very handy, this is the second time we have had one and do find plenty of uses for it.

Yeah I agree with having some redundancy.
Really enjoy your videos and the locations you take us to. Best camping channel on the tube.
Wow, thank you! Very much.
Nice video. How many amps of batteries did you have?
900 😝

Yeah sounds like a reasonable idea, I find it frustrating that as tax payers we get locked out of so much 🧐
@@SmartTouringSystems that’s why we need to protect our state forests as they are our last bit of public land 👍

How's this 490 setup? There doesn't seem to be the forward fold out section.
Hi Jay this is a prototype based heavily on the uev-14, which is a fair bit larger than the 490.
CONQUEROR UEV-14 HYBRID | FULL RUNDOWN & SETUP

Ah, missed that it was a -14. Thought it was themodded -490 I saw that had the air con and way too much lithium that's not for sale yet either.
Did you forget the camp had hot showers or wanted to test the diesel water heater ?
Yeah we did use the showers sometimes, and we also needed hot water to wash up.
Hybrid campers look so much more difficult, especially when majority are in a caravan park anway.

Sounds good to me.
Take the fuel line off the fuel filter 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Could do 🧐

Cheers for tuning in mate. Yeah a permit system would at least help u reckon too.
National parks and just nsw in general has way to many rules,
Agreed. Time to do something about it I’d say.
