    This week, we trade our cozy caravan for the ultimate roughing-it experience-sleeping in a swag at the stunning Caliguel Lagoon in Condamine, Queensland. 🏕️ But things get interesting as we battle the "wildlife" (okay, maybe just a few ants... and some curious mice 🐜🐭). The big question is: Do we really prefer this style of camping over our trusty caravan? And speaking of which... where did our caravan and Ford Ranger go? 🤔

    It’s great to go ruff it a bit but it does reminds you our bodies don’t need this any more. You will really love the caravan when you get it back. But you had the camp set up real nice, beautiful spot, couldn’t ask for anything better under the circumstances. Good on yous for doing it. Still having fun Eh! Cheers Judy 😊

    Swags, rooftop tent or ground tents? Give me a caravan any day. Travel safe Tracie and Jon.

    Don't know if a roof top tent is a good idea, up and down on the ladder in the middle of the night isn't fun. LOL I have a AC 180 , its brilliant we take it with us in the caravan. I leave the Genie at home now! Great enjoyable episode, cheers Robert

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  7 дней назад

      Very true about a roof top, I can't imagine me trying to get in and out of one lol.
      The Bluetti is fantastic hey .

    Good on you guys for giving it a go....We just had a few days away from our caravan , but we went to a Resort.....we are definitely too old to go back to Tenting let alone swags. At least you give us all a laugh.

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  11 дней назад

      A resort definitely would have been nice for sure. Maybe next time. Thanks for watching

    You guys could get walls for your pergola, instead of getting a tent.

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  11 дней назад

      Ahhhh we have tried one of those tent walls that attached to the gazebo but Jon put his foot through it, well he tripped out of the tent part lol. Thanks for watching

    Funniest video to date…..won’t share with other half as it’ll only reinforce her opinion about swags….watched it twice….currently at Pardoo Station….sorry to hear about van and car issues….you’d think that he/she would have used a spotter especially given the size of the van.

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  9 дней назад

      Thanks for watching. Yeah we couldn't believe the wife didn't get out to be a spotter either

    @lynschostakowski8819 4 дня назад

    Thats so funny. We are ditching our van in a few weeks to sleep in aswag too. But we bought an air mattress to go under the swag. It's our sons swag so of it doesn't agree with us the Son can have it back.

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  4 дня назад +1

      You enjoy hahahaha. I have to say the swag itself is not hugely uncomfortable but the getting in and out of the swag through the night is crap lol. Thanks for watching

    The length of time they have your caravan for is a disgrace! These caravan dealers really need to pull their socks up!

      I know right but thats not the half of it. They didnt order the right parts so they have it longer now. Very annoying . Thanks for watching
