After 3.5 years and 80,000km it's time to say farewell to our beautiful home on wheels. We are selling our van!
In this episode we prepare the van for sale but as usual, nothing goes according to plan, with busted appliances, and a confirmed sale that took over two weeks to finalise. With international flights booked everything was down to the last few days.
Thank you so much to our supporters on Patreon - you can join the community here: www.patreon.co...

It's like you just purchased this fir yourselves and are making sure everything is good before going on your travels. Nobody takes such care to make sure everything is perfect before selling their camper, it says a lot about you guys, remind me if I ever want to buy a camper, ti buy one from you.

Probably yes, but it wouldn’t pass a safety certificate which is required for sale.

Hey Nigel and Sue we have loved following your travels around our amazing country and we look forward to the next chapter. It would have been hard farewelling the van not only because of all the amazing memories that you have created while traveling, but also that you fitted the van out to fit your way of life and now it has moved one. We look forward to the next adventures and also thank you so much for sharing with us your Australian travels as you have taken us to places that we won't see in our lifetime. Sty safe Coen and Jay xx

How good did the 4wd dually set up perform on beaches? im guessing the Duals have lots of contact but the front tyres... do they cut into the sand? Ive seen some people remove the front spacer and fit a more typical 4wd front tyre... Resulting in needing to carry 2 types of spare... Would you say that is something you would consider next time? Or no need? did you have all terrain tyres? or just standard light truck tyres
@nigelandsueadventures
@nigelandsueadventures 3 месяца назад
We did have AT tyres, the first set were Kumho 215/75 but then we had to change to 205/65 as the kumho weren’t available on Australia.

Have recently discovered your channel and we are both really enjoying your videos. Apologies if you have already discussed this, but how much more of Australia did the 4x4 system allow you to explore? If we bought a newish rear-wheel drive Sprinter, is there anywhere significant we couldn’t get to? I suppose Cape York, and driving around Fraser Island might be two locations? Thanks again and looking forward to your next adventure (while we catch up on your previous).😊
@nigelandsueadventures
@nigelandsueadventures 3 месяца назад
Hey Chris, definitely Fraser Island would be out (pretty sure you're not allowed to take a 2wd vehicle over there). We know people who've driven 2wd to Cape York, it really just depends on when you go. The year we did it, a young girl went up in a Hyundai i30! There's a few of the good campsites it definitely helped, and of course, driving on the beach. If you have good tyres that will help you get to a lot of places (all terrain).
