WE LIVED IN A VAN FOR 3 YEARS - was it worth it? 

That is awesome! How exciting. Good luck with the build and I hope you enjoy the journey as much as we have!

Thanks for the tip! What an awesome idea.

absolutely. its so much more enjoyable when we can slow down.

Cheers Lee, and I love your point about grog has water haha

That is awesome Judy, I hope we’re still travelling when we’re 80!

Thank you so much! We really appreciate you checking out our website too. I’ll be updating that a lot more this month with some great Tasmania Travel Guides.

Thanks Kathleen! Glad you’ve enjoyed them. Don’t forget to check out our website too, our travel guides are written specifically for people doing the big lap.

Awwww thank you!!

You can do it! We highly recommend Enerdrive for your solar/electrical setup. We’ve been super happy with ours. There’s a whole list of product recommendations on our website. Or send us a message!

Yes, we had to wait for the kids to be grown up too. Happily we’ve inspired both of them to travel too!

Thanks! Yeah that is a great suggestion with the little cheap tent, definitely a good idea!

Thanks so much! #youaregoodenuff

Thank you Jeannie! We appreciate you watching.

Glad you enjoyed it Pete, hope you are travelling well.

Thanks Chris!

Oh there will be at least another three!!

Yes we totally missed that major point!! We have certainly met some excellent people!

Oh that’s so exciting! Just around the UK or will you head over onto the continent?

Yes we are living the new camera! Thanks so much for being on the journey with us, you are one of the OG!!

We will! We’ve still got a few months to go till we finish the lap, so there’s lots more videos to come

We are really enjoying Tasmania too! Will have another Tassie video for you next week

Cheers Mr Hiss!!

Awwww thank you 🧡

Something about leaving the best till last!! We are absolutely loving Tassie , and yep we’ve been to the south, will show those areas in upcoming videos. Thanks so much for watching!

Us too! Make sure you come say HI

We went to Cockle Creek too, but sadly the weather wasn't great while we were there. Just up enjoying the Bay of Fires now.

That's so funny, I can't imagine what store in Broome would send them. Are you in the USA? And thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. Hope you enjoy the Tasmania content coming up

@@nigelandsueadventures Yes, I'm in the southeast US near Atlanta. The cooler parts caper has become a personal epic tale. In North America, you can only order Dometic/Waeco repair parts directly from them (not available from retailers), and they tend to only offer complete assemblies. Example: instead of buying a $10 lid latch, I have to order the complete lid assembly for $110, plus shipping of course. Looking for alternatives, I found out buyers in your region have no such restrictions. You can buy repair parts at any local retailer, and most carry a decent assortment in stock. However, nearly zero will ship international. First time I was able to employ a friend of a friend, who lived in Auckland, to purchase what I needed locally and ship it. He's since moved to the US, so no longer an option. The place in Broome (AllVolts Power Solutions) turned up in a Google search last time, and happened to also offer international shipping. They shipped promptly, and the items arrived in about two weeks. Not bad for a 17,000 km journey. Curious, I checked out their street address on Google street view. It's a small workshop, that seemed to mostly sell batteries and accessories for off-road and camping. Good news! I looked them up and they're still there, and have more handles and latches in stock! Cost is still less than half if I ordered from the NA distributor, even after international air and import duty. If you ever need a portable fridge or repair parts, and happen to be passing near Broome, I highly recommend them! 😃

Thank you too Cheryl, we appreciate you watching!

Deb that makes me so happy to read that! It will keep getting easier. Good on you

Thanks so much Lynne, we really appreciate your ongoing support. The windows is definitely something we will look into for the next van.

Isn’t it the best? I think we follow you in Insta!

Come to Tassie for the summer, it’s beautiful here!

Oh we went up there a little ways, to shell beach and Denman. I think the video is called Disaster on Pizza Night

Thank you Sue

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!! Are you still at Cicada Lodge? We still talk about that beautiful meal and service there.

@@nigelandsueadventures no, I left there in Sep 23 and have been working at Kings Canyon since then 😊

It’s so good to have them off the dash and out of the way. We are looking forward to being back in the UK this summer

Yes that is so true too and a great perspective

Never heard of it! Where is that?

thanks!!

Yep! The van will be for sale in April.

Will that be the end of your travelling or will you upgrading to a bigger van!

Only a few beaches, and definitely none that have turtle nests etc. Also the coastline of Australia is huge, probably about the same as the entire eastern side of the African continent, so we can spare a few compacted areas.
