Ford Ranger Towing Tips | Wet Western QLD | Off Grid Free Camping 

The man bun…..yes you could of played a part in “The Last Samurai” 😂

Hey guys love your videos. Canarvon Gorge is beautiful. Start your walks early. It's several ks before you hit the first of the turnoff points such as Moss Gardens and Ampitheatre. We didn't get much past those cause we were late to start walking and the heat in Sept caught up with us. Amphitheatre is pretty incredible and has some interesting history. Certainly the temp drop in there was welcomed. Take plenty of water and snacks and just enjoy. The C47 crash site is very interesting and there is the opportunity to see platypus in one of the local waterholes. Enjoy the trip! If you are heading out to Cunnamulla have a look at charlotte plains and the bore setup. Charleville has the cosmos centre.

Interesting times ahead.

We think your hair really suits you off the face….thought about going short? 💇‍♂️

I love your videos. In all the time I have been following you on RU-vid, which has almost been from the beginning, I have never been disappointed. I don't know what it is about you guys, somehow you seem to have the magic touch when it comes your content and style. My best advice to you is do not mess with the magic and continue to be authentic. However, I think you already know that.

Hi Simon and Liz. Thanks for another very enjoyable video. I would also love to find an equivalent of Google Maps or Apple Maps that shows the road surfaces, so if you do find one, please let us know. If I find one, I'll let you know. Thanks again.

I really enjoy your videos guys,it’s a great way to start the morning.The practical hints and tips are very helpful when it comes to preparing for our trip.👍

if you get a chance check out the Northern part of the Park as well, Ka Ka Mundi & Salvator Rosa, use to good away from the crowds

Hay there, you speak of GCM / CVM upgrades you got in nsw could you please advise me were you did that thanks TA

Carnarvon Gorge - platypus in the creek that you drive through to get into Big 4 caravan park 👌🏻…behind powered sites …just perfect 👍🏻

We are about to order our 3rd van and we are using some of your ideas in this build. I am very interested to get your feed back on your under bed A/C compared to roof top A/C ? Thanks.

Do you find the van brakes lock up more easily in the wet? Mine seem to do that, even when dialled down. Loved this episode.

What is your tow ball weight and rear axle capacity

Looking forward to the Carnarvon Gorge trip!

Hey! Love your content! Just wondering what you thought of the lovell’s gvm/gum upgrade? How was it towing and not towing? Thanks!

you need to check if your dishwasher has a thermostat. If it does, try connecting it to the hot water so it doesn’t have to heat the water. This will save you. A lot of power from the batteries might be worth researching. PS still waiting to see what happens with your new water system when you get around to it, thanks for a great RU-vid site

Love the “man” bun. Suits you. 👍😀

Hi guys It’s not the car it’s the way people drive the car towing a van that’s why things Break

Love the ending…

I really appreciate you guys providing so much useful info. As you have probably discovered already, cloudy days could = 1/10th the max solar output, and even as low as 5% of the panels head line rate, if thick cloud, and the fact the panels are not tilted towards the sun. I predict, that within a year, you will upgrade your solar. Ignoring the roof vents, and assuming your vans roof is 5x2.4m = 12m2. The best house roof solar is currently 288w/m2. Thus, your 12m2 van roof could be 3.5kw. Ok, back in the real world, you could use 5x 460w panels (these are 1.6m x 1m) plus a couple of your existing 200w panels, this would make 2.7kw of solar. How ? You will of course cover some of your vents. The solar panels can be fitted to a frame 100mm above the roof, thus also clearing the vents. This would give your van a very effective sun shade for when it is stationary in the sun. Or add some more batteries to tie you over for the cloudy longer stops. And upgrade your alternator. Your 600ah LFP can handle 240A charging. Thus a bigger alternator, and another 60a dcdc should really help to top up fast during those shorter drives. I am all for fully electric (I run 280AH LFP + 2000W inverter + 90A of dcdc charging), but, charging speed is the achillies heel of all electric. I think it is still early days of all electric, and this field will evolve rapidly, as people fully understand what is needed. The quickest upgrade is to simply double your battery capacity.

Love the vid. Went to canarvon gorge maybe 20 years back - just did the 15km-ish walk in the gorge. Loved it. Enjoy! Oh, and lose the man bun 😂

Hi and thanks again for yet another informative video. We are on our second PX3 ranger this time it is the bi turbo 10 speed wildtrak X, it is totally opposite to all the never owned a ranger rubbish talkers. Firstly driving like you own it is the key to any tow tug. I must admit all the tales of the transmission being a real problem did get me a bit nervous so I bought an Ultra gauge to keep an eye out for all the disasters they were forecast, turns out that is a load of compost for example towing on a 38deg C day at about 90-95kmphr the transmission never got past 165 F and the Van is only 3 ton and car was at 2750kg. In all it is a fantastic tow tug and I usually get 14 to 15 l per hundred towing. It does not matter which car you or I get every one has their own choice I really wish people would stop trying to be car sales people sure be honest but do not make up stuff about other cars or vans etc, you get nothing out it apart from looking like dill. Good luck with the 76 series and getting the mods sorted we are getting the New Ranger V6 Wildtrak mods are mostly decided so I feel the juggling.

Hi guys, I use the app , Here WeGo, as navigation. You need to down load the map to your phone before you leave but then it doesn't use data. Go to settings and turn off unsealed roads. Enjoy watching your travels.

Hey. FYI, NSW, Vic & Qld police are cracking down on driver control of their vehicle. They are starting to fine drivers with only 1 hand on the steering wheel for not being in proper control of their vehicle.

Carnarvon Gorge is an absolute gem. The Amphitheatre will blow you away and can highly recommend the nocturnal spotlighting walk with a guide.

The weir looks awesome place. Loved the fog over the water and the sun was shining guys, hope you got the washing dry Liz. Cheers awesome video again, cheers Judy ❤

I love your videos! Very down to earth, you are both just naturally there chatting away no poses! Keep them coming and keep having fun x

Great watch first thing Sundays I would appreciate if you can let us know the date of the video Know Carnarvon will be a great experience

We once got stuck before a flooded causeway on the way into Carnarvon Gorge and with 8 other vehicles had to camp on the road overnight, so keep an eye on the weather.

Great start to our Sunday, hopefully the sun shines for you today!

To be a child playing in the mud. The happiness

Definitely love your videos!

❤

The ranger gearbox is fine. just change the Fluid every 30,000 to 40,000 thousand ks when towing...
