HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TRAVEL AUSTRALIA?? A TRUTHFUL COST BREAKDOWN .. NO more lies!!! 

I can’t understand how you don’t have 100s of thousands of subs, I’ve been following your journey a while and find you genuinely entertaining, thanks for keeping it real.

I loved the fuel costs discussion where Nick says the 4WDing burns more fuel then Elenya chips in with “especially when you get bogged” and Nick pretends he is deaf and continues as if nothing happened😂 Priceless!

When that kids screaming and Nick goes “I feel for ya” I😂😂😂😂

The two of you are so refreshingly honest, your married banter is so relatable, and you continue to smile and be positive. No wonder so many followers love your content. :)

Best moment was the kid screaming and Nick saying “I feel for you”. Love you guys, so humble. Cheers Marg & Steve

The way you guys interact is infectious! Thanks for all your info, adventures and entertainment 🙂

Sweet little vid guys 👌 my partner and I are selling up in July to live full time on the road, your vids always , put a smile on our faces and give us confidence in the future 👌 stay safe with the weather coming in 🙌

Rego’s and especially insurance is criminal, than when you have the need to claim they just try and worm out of everything so when they relent and give in for a few bucks they make you feel guilty for not accepting it ( don’t get me started) good honest vid is appreciated

When I work out my cost of travelling, I personally don’t add the cost of rego and insurance, as no matter whether you’re travelling or not travelling, the cost is there regardless. I think people need to also consider the cost of not travelling, ie: staying home and leading a “normal” life of work, picking up the kids from daycare, school, visiting friends and family etc. there’s a financial cost to not travelling also. We all go to the supermarket to buy food, pay electricity and gas bills, internet and Netflix, so whether you’re travelling or not, the cost is there. Admittedly, buying groceries and fuel remotely will cost you considerably more. I try and work out the cost of staying home apposed to travelling and the difference is how I calculate my true cost of travel. Oh, by the way, love your content, don’t change anything.

So the question has to be asked . Your income does the monthly outgoing, exceed your incomings. A lot of families or couples travelling never refer to how much income they make of youtube or other ventures when doing their budgeting videos . Because the reality is you need an income of sorts to be able to travel full-time or as some of the grey nomads a pension. An insight into that would be beneficial when doing budget videos. Thanks . Great fun video to watch as always.

Thanks for the honest feedback and advice. You guys are great to watch it's so disappointing how much rego and insurance is in Australia absolute rip off. Safe travels

Great way to start a weekend. Our favourite travelling family. IMHO, the ongoing costs are not too bad for the priceless experience your family is having and the memories you will have for the rest of all your lives. Cheers.

I seriously love this channel - you guys are so down to earth, great sense of humor and just True Blue! Love it.

I travel a bit around Australia, & my biggest expense is shopping at Uncle Dans. We tend to drink a lot when we’re away. I’m glad you said about the insurance as that’s a big expense that we all need to pay. Great video guys 👍

You guys are my new hero’s, your spend against what your setup is, simply amazingly. I so hope in a years time when we start our travels that we get to meet you both. You guys have become one of our favourite channels.

Geez guys you need the rego in Vic for the van! It’s bugger all and under $80 a year

You’re doing great guys, living the dream. Our kids are young adults and still make just as much noise. Wouldn’t have it any other way ❤

Great coverage…one that gets me, that I’m not sure you mentioned, is medical benefits that adds up in our books. Safe travels we will see you out there one day 👋

Guys. What a great honest review of costs. I was surprised to be honest. I actually thought with such a large rig, van etc it would be way more. You don't miss out on anything as you have a wonderful time. I agree, I have seen reviews when they are towing an average size van with a dual cab that claim it can't be done for under 100K a yr. Refreshing episode. Thank you.

For your insurance for the truck and van you need to contact club 4 x 4 who will do a package. Cheaper than most insurance companies.

Awesome vid … if it makes you feel better our insurance about 5k/year, rates about 3k another 1k for electricity and water added on to I can see the similarities between the two … you guys do shed light on all of our questions and give us a down to earth perspective …. Happy travels and hope to see you out there one day

Hi Guys, great to hear your costs. We have a friend who used RACQ Insurance for their van and it was about $1700 for the year! We’ll definitely use them for our van next year!

Your channel is one of the best on Y T. And you do reply to questions that are asked.

Been living in our little van for 4 months now absolutely love it me and my wife both work and it’s way cheaper than when we had a house it’s one of those things if you don’t try you will never know safe travel guys

Love your channel. Keep going folks. Hopefully one day soon we will be travelling for twelve months around the country. Retirement coming up. Bravo from Victoria Australia

Our fuel costs ran around $230 per 1000km mid last year. 18,500km trip Perth to Cape York and down the east coast to Vic and along the bottom. Holden Colorado with a canopy and hard shell rooftop tent.

Another fantastic episode guys! Would love you guys to set up a caravanning getaway meet and greet!!!!!

Your saviour is being able to free camp a lot, but in saying that, the choices you make are keeping you in the app. $1000.00 a wk bidget as other youtubers have said is a decent guideline and also while we were on the road for 4 mths we used that guideline - 2 adults and 2 dogs and no free camping. Xx Lyn & Bob

Love your set up. It is hard to convert to US $$ but suggest a end of year summery would give a true average cost of living. One Item I think you missed was depreciation on the truck and caravan. You had to buy them and they well lose value over time (depreciation). It is a real cost. Keep up the good work. I hope someday to return to Australia and spend a few months overlanding in Australia's remote areas. In the mean time we explore Eastern Oregon and Western US remote areas.

I can hardly afford to travel to and from work.. 😂 wish i could afford wondering this great land full-time. . Thank you for another great episode guys.. you guys are amazing

Another excellent show and I was honestly surprised that all your cost when broken down to daily expenses was as low as it was. Also as usual you manage to give us a laugh even when being serious.

Plus if have a house home base, rates, insurance etc. Cost of everything is on the up

I think you need to register your van in VIC we pay $60 for the year 🫢 I have heard we are the cheapest state in Australia. You do well to spend $500 a month for groceries for a family of five. Great vid as always

Great video guys. Love the way you broke it down. We just hit the road again after a couple of years break and the cost of everything has gone up a lot.

How much? Shitloads - rig + van + set up $350k Then $1000 week for 2. + your bills on your house and other vehicles at home. We spend $120k a year to live before adding in what we give our adult kids 😂😂😂 and overseas travel… But you can do a heap cheaper !!!

4 or 5 hundred dollars of groceries in the US one can carry in two bags 😢

Thanks heaps guys that was great run down of $$$ putting the large and small into prospective. Keep up the great work love ya show show have been watching all. Stay safe and can't wait to see next upload Cheers wazza 😁😎💗💙

those figures are really good when my wife and i went on a trip for 2 months many years ago our biggest expense would have been fuel and caravan parks we did 8000klms in 8weeks for $8000 believe it or not figuers were exact

Hey love your videos. Just watched your latest on how much it costs. I was wondering how much does RU-vid contribute. And is it worth it. Look forward to the next video

Great episode as usual. Looks like I won't be buying a truck. 😂😂. Insurance is crazy. I remember when you started and did one and the monthly cost came in at just under $800. 😊. How things change. Can't wait for the next episode.

Hi Guys, very informative clip, I can't understand why your rego and insurance for your caravan is so expensive. We have a 21 foot offroad van which is registered in NSW and the rego and insurance is $1978 a year.

Thanks for the honest feedback..... Keep it real, thanks for sharing 🤙👍

Thanks for an honest breakdown of your costs … the question everyone wants to is how do you fund this? We are a lot older than your gorgeous family of 5 and plan to hit the road full time with investment properties to assist our expenses… if we can do this sooner with any tips, we would be very interested to know! 😊😊😊

I think you hit a sore spot with the "no fish" comment Elenya 😂 I'm too scared to do our budget break down til we get home... especially alcohol costs 😳😂

Well done with the budget . Sounds realistic for a family of 5 on the road full time .

Great content guys... very enjoyable. Where did you get that aluminium table from... I'm looking for one similar to that. Keep up the good work..

the thing is that even at home we have to buy food and takeaways, phone, internet, so its not much different, at home we pay rent $400 a week, insurance, and we have cars and caravans we are hardly using and still paying rego and insurance, so Fuel and extra insurance (due to having a new truck and van) would be the extra costs of travelling. NOW next you could tell us your income, from merch and youtube, my guess with 37k subscribers is $4k a month. Thanks for your great show, one day i will be travelling soon,

My wife and me traveled Australia and outback (10000km, 4 weeks) for 250$ a day, all inclusive. I.e., good hotels, rental car, dining out etc. You spend way more, as you have to pay for the van. I really don‘t get why people use RVs if it is this expensive …

honest as always. cheer for sharing!!

Hi guys love you home grown channel You guys are great to watch and beautiful place you show us Just wanting to know how you find your super single tyres We are just starting out and getting a no’s 300 with a slide on camper Thanks scott

Wow. Thanks for the info, on travel in Oz today.

Would be really interesting to compare that weekly cost to what it would be if you were living in a house somewhere. 😊

i've watched heaps of these budget style vids lately. The thing for me i don't understand, is how is everyone funding this? Did you sell your house? do you have a work from home job where all you need is a internet connection? inheritance? are you just really good at saving money? have an abundance of cash where you can just live freely? no one really gives the answers to those sorts of questions. At some pint in your life you chose (family) time over money, i just want to know at what point financially, can i do that myself?

Very interesting to fine out the cost of the trip. Not bad for family of 5 ❤❤😮

Not as much as I thought. Insurance is the killer. Could possibly have included depreciation. In a home you'd hope the value goes up.

thanks for the heads up elnicks an costing its a great help to help us budget around Aus

Awesome as usual. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

Thanks for another great video, I’m wondering if a heap of truck travelling people got together and got a quote for truck insurance would a discount be offered. It was hard even finding a company to insure a truck for private use.

I'm surprised that the costs aren't higher. There's hope for me after all!!

Cheers for the honesty!

Great video nice to see a more realistic breakdown of cost

Guys you’ve got to look at your insurance. Iv got a similar set up probably not quite as high in value on the van but 4500 on the truck is high I’m at 1700 agreed value of 240k. Get into a broker a good one and see what u can do

Thanks legends for your honesty as always 👏🥂🍻

Yes cost is high,as you said,living off the land as much as you can,I find flour cheap,rice,noodles,in the winter stews are great,I find buy dog bones are cheap for stews,try and buy the back bone of the cow,I sure you know the cut of budget that one makes on the road,A few years back I bump into a roo shooter at a pub shout a few beers,and he gave a tail ,back leg,camp oven stew were on plus potatoes dumplings,my mum use to make toffee cheap loll,s ,just look at the old days to cut cost.good video.

Hold on....Am I missing something here. You didn't tell us WHAT YOU SPENT ON THE MEAT PACK !!!!? Was that in the woolies food cost, or was that extra which we didn't get to hear!!!!???? (apologies for the exclamation and question marks - I'm frustrated as... with the figures here!). If you like your coffees so much why don't you invest in a Breville Barista Pro. Yes the outlay is large but the cost comes down the more you use it and The coffee is SO GOOD. You'll save $3.50-$4.50 each time you make one. And you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of learning how to make a good coffee and doing it for yourself each morning when you're miles from a shop!!!!!!! Great stuff this week guys and thank YOU so much for taking not just the time to bring this breakdown to us, but to bring the honest to goodness data to us all re the real cost of living THE LIFE. Having watch more than a few shows I'm Sure that the cost for many channel is much more north of your figure. Does WA have a discounted National Parks ticket if purchased when getting you rego? NSW does and it helps significantly - giving you access to EVERWHERE except the Snowy parks. On another note, I really love the banter and chemistry between he two of you. Elenya really loves you Nick and the lifestyle. Do NOT do anything to upset you wonderful apple cart! You have it so good when a woman will put up with everything you do!!! And I love Elena's smile when she off in her own thoughts when she corrects you or adds her bit! So touching! (I know you secret Elenya... You're secretly a good natured witch, You secret is safe with me). 🤣🤣🤣

At 0:20 ... "Accomodation" should be "Accommodation".

Awesome Ep Guys, With reel world figures well done.

Thanks guys all honest info is great love watching you and honestly cant wait till im out there traveling as well but not i nsuch a big rig lol

The Adventures are priceless. I think insurances are killers these days no matter what youve got. Good analysis Elenya and Nick. Thank you. 😀❤️🇦🇺🦘

Nice cost rundown, thanks. Do you have any health insurance expenses? Would love to see your shopping list as cannot get ours under 300 just for 2 of us.

Love how you give it to us real 👏

whats the cost if you took out your reg and insurances as thats a yearly must pay. your entertainment, dinning out and say do with out stuff like say snacks. maybe take out the boat cost too and an extra expense. do you have to pay medical fees or prescription meds or such, hope you do a year end up date if you care to share you full year costs as i have seen some full time rv, van life and campers do their year end and wow.. i know im shocked when i do my own year end at tax time. your vid was very eye opening. thanks for sharing your info

13:18 Elena I can so relate this. The other half has broken this a number of times, we now have 3 spares 😂😂

Cheers guy , great summery , thanks 👍

Maaaate , you need to change your caravan insurer , that is way over the top . Think I saw you guys in Albany this week , time to head up north to follow the sun. 😁.

Very good information guys

Great info what’s the difference between your last set up and this one? Just curious.. Enjoy your week Cheers Grumpy

You do make it sound inexpensive. One major cost you missed is the Rig you have. That was not included. Even if you own it outright there is a depreciation and missed financial gains. Example if you have a $500k setup with truck, van, boat at 5% PA in the bank that is $2000 per month. If you have a loan on it that is another expense.

Great result considering you have 3 young kids in tow 😊

No matter the content you guys are entertaining 😅

Great video, guys. I can't understand how come your insurance is so expensive?... My caravan is only worth10k and it only cost me $400 a year for insurance.

Hahahaha Lost it at the kid screaming in the back ground and nick saying, Yeh we feel for ya then continuing like nothing happened #parentlife

The new big rig the boat caravan and you guys are so young did you win lotto ?

Thats 1/3 what we spend on road. I can easily spend double.

Good god the screams..... LOL great stuff guys.👍

Hi Just a couple questions Do you also have health and ambulance cover when travelling full time? And do you have any extra costs from back home whether it be a business/house/other cars that you have to pay monthly fees for also? Just interested to know if that changes your budgeting as well. Love watching your crew very entertaining and honest travelling

Love your videos and the constant giggles. Hope you don’t mind me asking what sort of things do you do to generate the income to cover all these costs. My husband and I can’t see how we can finance doing this. We would be grateful for any help.

He says we feel for you as the kid is screaming in the background.LOL

Great vid just wondering? Is your rego in NSW because your van is very high lots cheaper in QlD

So basically between the outboard fuel / gear / bait each fillet of fish cost you about $735? 😂😂😂😂 Great video giys, thanks for the information it really helps with my planning for my own travels

Hi guys, great video as normal.. Nick is the truck insured as a truck.. If so, who did you insure it with and what type of insurance?

Hi thanks for this video, it was very informative. One question for you. Do you pick up work along the way, or work online or barter for things you need to get some extra money for the month. Thanks CJ

Especially if you get bogged - BWAHAHAHAHAH - OWNED - Thanks for sharing - great channel - you guys keep it real -

Did your food budget ( Woolies/coles etc), include your bulk meat order??

of cause no registration or insurance and i did not insure my van

What about the actual purchase cost of your rig. Looks expensive. That would a real expense and allowing for depreciation.

Wow ,thats pretty good in these times ...bloody insurance..you wouldnt mind if it wasnt a shit fight to get a claim. Well done.

Reinforced why I would never have another caravan. I'll stick with my 14 year old soft floor camper trailer.

What state are your vehicles registered in

Great information 💯
