    Hey guys! finally catching up with you! So sorry that the RV has been dark and stinky! It made perfect sense when Tim said the shower trap probably dried out. Thank goodness it wasn't something worse, like when you reach a higher altitude and the pressure makes the toilet erupt like a volcano! Lesson learned! Make sure all the plumbing is used for at least a minute every day. And stop to relieve pressure when gaining in altitude! Glad you skipped Nelson if it was making you uncomfortable. Always obey your intuition!
    My fav: the seals; wow! Nice to see a few whales, and dolphins! Lovely thermal pools! And a fascinating laundry dryer cycle!
    Looking forward to you next video! Have a fabulous time. Safest travels!

      Thank you Ke Le 🤩🙏hey life wouldn’t be worth talking about if you don’t have your fair share of stinky showers to contend with , worzel is a character building mode of transportation that gave us long lasting memories and funny stories 🚐😀

    For a brief moment there, I thought that the laundry machines were not going to operate. The mineral pool was likely the reason that you both slept really well. Natural minerals, good for the skin unlike the chlorine pools that you take the smell away with you. A good fun adventure 👍

    Great video. Your right those old campers have "S" Bends under the sink and shower. You need to keep water in them. They also loose the water in them when you empty the grey water too quick. The grey tanks also need a good back flush with a hose every now and again.

I'm sorry about your jewelry though, perhaps you can stille sell it for scrap prices for replacements. New Zealand is such a beautiful country! Hopefully you can go back again and explore/revisit.

    We saw Whales on a Cuise. They are really majestic. I love that Guiness is a staple food. Loved the Seals. As for the smell. Demestos would be the cure all, but I'm interested to see what you did to overcome the 'aroma'. Another great vlog 'can you tell us your name and your channel'? 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing.

    My understanding is that you don't put your head underwater because of the danger of meningitis. The bacteria is known to be in hot springs. Back in the 50s/60s people died from it after putting their head underwater.

    So we discovered they are changing the rules where you have to have a plumbed in toilet to freedom camp which is being pushed through NZ parliament - all those small cans with pull outs will have a problem - to me that’s a step to far and does not encourage small vans - I would think if it passes it will cause more issues in my opinion
