We are a family of 5 travelling Australia indefinitely in our new Lotus Caravan and our 2021 F350 from Harrison F-Trucks. We will take you to many destinations and let you know what works for us and what doesn’t, so you don’t make the same mistakes.
We are from Perth Western Australia and want to see as many destinations as we can together as a family, we never take the easy road and if we see a track, we always wonder where it will lead us, so we generally take it to see where it leads.
Thanks for watching and reading if you have made it this far down, hope you enjoyed.

This one is a ripper, we hit up 14 Mile beach camp and get the boat up, we find some blow holes that entertain the kids and even get the car up and down the sand dunes. we manage a feed of fish and show you what the camp looks like and what our choice of camps would be if we would be lucky enough to go back again. this is the first ep of a mini series of the Ningaloo coast camping we are embarking on over the next 4-5 weeks.

Well worth the time. One thing I love with your episodes, nothing is sugar coated or edited.
Down to earth honest contents. Love it 👍👍👍👍👍
Way to go guys, loved the clip honest and raw. Look forward to every week for a new clip. Keep up the great work guys 👍👍👍
Well done guys, really enjoyed you honesty in this video. You have worked hard and save well to have what you presently have, I wish you and your family the safest and happiest travels possible 👏👏
Cheers mate 🤙🏼
Really enjoyed that ep. guys. Was very interesting to hear your background.
We have been in the market for a new caravan, but, the ability to make any personalised modifications were a joke. It was easier to buy second hand and we could get nearer to the ideal caravan that suited us. I guess because you work for lotus you can have what ever you like?
Hi Dianne, unfortunately we too are restricted to what we can do it’s not the manufacturer’s fault 100% here they have had restrictions put on them too now. We can add in new innovations that are going to be released and small changes but engineering comes into play with them too. We have to book in a build time and go through the design fade too just like everyone else.
Hi guys. Wow. Am only 10 minutes in but had to hit ‘pause’ to drop you guys a comment. So nice to gain a bit more of an understanding of your backgrounds and life story. One thing I constantly pick up is your absolute warts and all honesty in your videos. Great stuff and keep it up. Wishing you continued safe and memorable travels guys! 🙏
Thank you. We are who we are can’t change that. Glad your enjoying it. Wasn’t too sure how this one would go especially being so long.
Makita battery torches and vacuum are amazing for traveling.
Gotta say guys, this was the best QnA vid I've watched.
Had a great open, honest and engaging feel.
Enjoying following your travels.
Thanks mate really appreciate that feedback 🤙🏼🤙🏼
So enjoyed! Do hope your channel flys with great success. Luv what you do. Cheers Jen n Co ✨👏✨💖
Thank you so much
Great content. Swag recommendation i have a "crashpad hybrid model" aussie made, 3 hoops so it doesn't lose its shape in storms. Its a new model so not many reviews but i love it. Huge bag, can sit up inside. Slept in it quite a few times with 2 people, seemed to have enough room for 2 without contact. Great for high winds and rain. Cheers 4x4smile
Nice Guys good on you all.
Enjoy Life as it’s to short
Stay safe Cheers
+Barry Murphy cheers mate
Love it guys, thanks for answering some questions. Even though there were a few cheeky ‘rib shot’ questions in there, you answered them all well.
Not every car, every van and every person is going to be perfect and fault free, but this set up works for you and you’re out there living life! Cheers guys
Thank you we tried to have fun with it and answer everything as best as we could. Cheers for watching.
@@lappingtheisland no wuckas! Loving your videos, keep ‘em coming and safe travels 🤙🏼
Thanks for the tip guy’s “do it once, do it right” I’ve been contemplating poptop behind our old prado, but we’re planning an open ended trip and are in a strong financial position. New car bigger van here we come. If it’s comfortable we be out there longer. Cheers guys keep up the great content.
Thank you. Yeah learn from others mistakes I say. Glad you got something out of it.
Loved it. Thanks so much
+Sean Dolkens cheers for watching 🤙🏼🤙🏼

I'm going to binge watch all your videos witch is good bad news is i have covid and its hitting me really hard.
I'm from Wollongong so the other side of the country but its pretty bad hear at the moment.
Thanks mate sorry to hear about covid hope you get better soon. It hit me hard too.
You guys have the dream set-up, one day "well my dream" is to travel around our beautiful country. I'm so glad you have posted this content on a forum like RUclips to give us "the community" a birds eye look at your set-up, places to travel etc. Keep them video's coming through and looking forward to the next episode. Stay safe 👍
Cheers mate, we are no different to you or anyone else happy to show anyone the setup.
@@lappingtheisland appreciate the feedback, your right on the button 👍, you make life how you want it, it just means making that commitment.

Thank you 🙏
my tires have done 100.000kls and have a further 8mm of tread on the tires.
Loved the longer episode👌. And yep would love to see what ‘stuff’ you guys travel with as full timers
Hi guys, absolutely loving your channel. So layed back. Jade have you got your license to drive the truck and what level is it. Cheers and keep up the great work.
Jayde has a LT license (light truck)
Great episode guys just remember happy wife happy life😁😁 in all seriousness keep up the great work will keep a eye out when you pass though Hedland
Absolutely loved this Q and A, many thanks for being open and honest. Hahahaha the singlet, sounded like you were talking about my husband I am always asking him to change his shirt before filming lol. Hats off to you guys buying your homes so young, definitely got your heads screwed on the right way and got to say a credit to your parents too
Thank you sometimes it’s screwed on 🤣🤣 love my singlets though.
Love the honest answers. Great real life stuff.
Thank you
Love your work guys keep up the great content
Cheers
Great vid guys. I was the silly person that mentioned the helicopter. 😋 Yes it was as a joke, LOL. After posting that question in FB, up popped a video in my YT feed about how two companies in the 70s (Winnebago was one) that actually produced helicopter campers, where they took old military choppers and decked them out inside like a caravan. 😯 So even though my question was just for a bit of fun, turned out somebody actually did build them. Just some useless information for you. LOL 🤪
hahahahaha, hey mate, yes figured it was a joke. how funny is that I will have to google it now so I can have a look, or my phone will be listening and it will pop up on my feed somewhere too. 😂😂😂😂
I get the eating potato’s thing. Being a solo parent means one income. Saving for everything because I don’t want large loans means we don’t do anything fun atm. Every cent is being saved. One day we may afford a beautiful van like yours. Thanks for sharing your story
Things will turn in your favour if you keep up the great work set your goals and make them happen.
You guy's are a crack. Love the way you take the piss out of each other. Reminds me of my wife and I! Hey why are you changing the F Truck? I'm currently thinking of selling my Y62 to get an American truck. Just ruled out the Chevrolet so it's out of the Ram and F Truck.....🍻
Not sure what we are doing yet mate we have floated the idea of selling this truck and getting another F-truck and do another build but it’s only a thought atm.
Great episode guys... Now I know what to get you for Xmas...! 🤣🤔😉 swag, kettle, vacuum.....Binos...? 🤣🤣🤣👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes would love a utube of your contents in your caravan
See what we can do for you 🤙🏼
Jade what’s your brothers name on Home & away ?
Love following you guys. Funnily enough I’m a Hd diesel mechanic and my wife is a hairdresser and 3 kids lol. Just wondering who was the one who had to be pushed to make the call to travel full time.
It was me Dereck that had to be pushed I wanted to do it so badly but didn’t want to give up a good job, nor not have an income to support the family. Looking back it was a silly reason not to do it earlier.
Hola familia..exceente el video. Saludos desde patagonia srgentina. Son una familia espectacular.
You said you bought your F truck in Melbourne but you guys are from Western Australia so Is truck registered in Western Australia and if it is what home address to put down if sold your home if you’re travelling. So if you want to be pulled over by the police and show your drivers license what address do you have written down for you and the car thx
Yes brought car from Melbourne it was all engineered with lift and tyres in Melbourne so was registered in Melbourne then I registered it again when I got the car to WA and it is to my parents house where all our mail goes too.
Is one of the kids driving the rig around in the background at 26 min? ;)
+Qcordep 🤣🤣🤣 na it was another setup just like ours.
How much savings could you possibly have to fund all of the equipment you have and drop a lazy 6k a month on living costs. Your truck , caravan, boat etc must be pushing 250k. And now talk of new trucks and caravans without using sale if home money ? How have you managed to do all this? Most people who work hard and reno a house here and there would still struggle to do this. You must be well funded by the caravan industry.
Sorry should of explained that better yes we sold the house and with some of the money from the sale of both houses we brought a caravan and decked out the 200, then we started working with lotus and we sold the first van and the 200 both again in the high market. Brought another house during covid and flipped that after a year banking a good profit again that funded the truck. Yes we don’t have as much money as we started but we are living life now worry about the future then.
