I'm from Portugal and our reality doesn't match quite with australian reality. I've wayching your relation with your kids and thinking what I'm doing with my daughters. Please continue, I just love it.
You just put a little goodness, adventure, and wholesome in people lives imo. I'm 49 with 3 boys forced retired from a brain issue. Soon to leave this world, I lived to work and not worked to live. I forgot the best part, and I regret that. Keep those values you have, guys, and live that best life.
July 28th My wife & I sold our business and retired at 60. Since then we have travelled to more than 70 countries. Earlier on We drove the full length of the U.S.. drove extensively in Europe as well as Australia. We have had a blast! Then as we got older we cruised extensively but now we are in our mid 80s we can’t go too far afield BUT we love following your videos and seeing the world through your eyes. Thank you for giving us both so much pleasure. Stay safe. Oh we are Kiwis but don’t hold that against us.😛
You would have to be the most down to earth family that I watch on RU-vid, thanks for keeping it that way and please don't change. I remember the first video I watched was so good I proceeded to go back and watch all your videos and you have kept it real thank you.❤
My wife and I are traveling Australia through your videos. We are in the US, and at our age, we will never be there ourselves. So we will continue to experience your beautiful country through your family.
We vinden jullie geweldig. Als mensen al vader en moeder, als gezin. De liefde die jullie geven❤. Zo geweldig. Als iedereen zo was, hadden we geen oorlog en ruzie❤❤❤❤
Don’t ever change it’s such a pleasure watching the entire Cartwright family living all our dreams. We took a year off last year to travel WA and enjoyed every minute. Long may you continue creating the fantastic content.
We can't believe how quickly time has flown by! Your RU-vid journey has been an incredible adventure, and we feel so fortunate to have been a part of it from the start. Your passion and dedication to sharing your story are truly inspiring. Thank you for being a shining example of what it means to live life to the fullest.
Great vid guys. Just get out there and do it. I retired 15 years ago ( just because I wanted to )Still waiting for the wife to say let’s go. In the meantime I will travel via your channel.
I have watched a lot of youtube travelling families to get ideas about future trips. The difference with you guys are your videos are always something to look forward to because you are so down to earth and show the good and the bad.
Well Mr and Mrs Cartwright ....... It's a PLEASURE to FINALLY meet the REAL you !! 😊 Wishing you guys EVERY success in your travels The people that are going to able to win those trucks and trailers are going to be the luckiest people!! Sending love and good wishes from the UK 😊❤
Many thanks for your openness and honesty in your “information “ video . We are an “elderly” couple (as the government calls us) who took our 4 and 8 year old daughters around Australia (24,000kms) in a 18ft York caravan and a 1984 Landcruiser for 6 months of long service + annual leave . Perth to Perth . Very special memories . Occasional tent and camper trailer trips in between when they were at school and now we have been caravanning since 2007 , not full time but 2 to 5 months at a time , at least 2 , maybe 3 times a year plus Pete does at least 1 prospecting trip of 6 weeks a year with mates . I think he would do continual caravanning if he could.
Legends! Genuinely changing the game. Not just on RU-vid but just as humans. You’re generosity and eagerness to help people is inspiring to all. Love it!
Hubby and I love watching you guys, your a natural family who face everyday dramas, we love the way that you all over come your problems. We think you guys are awesome and continue doing what you love, you’re an inspiration to everyone. We admire what you are doing.
As an Irish person ☘️ I love you all What amazing family And lots and lots of people will always tune in to your channel You are down to earth Keep them coming ❤❤❤🇮🇪☘️
I really hope this inspires others to get out there and live their dream! We have been full time travellers for almost 4 years but are a little older than you guys so no children with us. But we had a dream to travel and we just made it work! Our favourite saying is ‘Do it while you can coz it’s later than you think’ because it’s so true!
Super down to earth couple, love that you're putting the profits from the raffles back into the community. Hard to find genuine people these days, keep up the great work. You guys are a blast to watch. We hope to travel in the next few years!
You guys are seriously so relatable and so great. You've blessed so many by showing people parts of our country which many won't ever see. But you also show us what life can be like if you want to do what you do. It shows people that if they want to chase it they actually can. Your kids are great and your family are "friends" to so many
It’s nice to see you guys doing somewhat of a d&m chat with us . Sunday morning is when I get to watch you guys with a cuppa and breaky. Thanks guys😊😊😊
You guys became quite special to me over the time I've watched your videos. I think that your "tell it as it is" has come through. you have been easy to watch not boring and no faking all the best
I’ve said it before but you guys are the only traveling family I watch nowadays. It’s just good, clean, honest family fun without all the bullshit and drama. Thanks for keeping it real guys and hope to bump into you in the southwest when you get back down this way👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow I got in on almost day 1 of your RU-vid filming. I as a 57yr old adult male, father of 3, I appreciate what you're doing and showing us your adventures. And absolutely 100% your wife is a warrior!! Giving birth to your daughter like a champ! When my ex gave birth to our children she broke my thumb on my left hand 3 time ( once for each child) plus she was medicated to the roof! She broke my thumb so severely it needed pinning all 3 times.
The reason why my wife and I love you guys is you’re so so so real and haven’t bought into the commercial rubbish like every other RU-vid travel channel! Please just keep being you guys. We can’t wait to see where your adventures take you next. You’re our inspiration to one day hopefully do the same as you guys!
Absolute hats off to you both and the fam for bringing us all along for the ride. It's a breath of fresh air to finally see the ins and outs without everything being buttered up. Well done and keep on keeping on. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thankyou guys. Really enjoyed the latest video. Have loved all of them and enjoyed the recap and FAQ. I ENJOYED Trip in a Van but find you guys much more down to earth Thanks for sharing, and yeah, as a man, I cried during the birth. You're a beautiful family, and I appreciate your honesty. Cheers
We run into you all at the Tantanoola caves . Father in law and myself were star struck by your truck and caravan at the time in the carpark. You couldn’t be more accommodating in showing us around the truck . Opening all the doors and chatting away . Been following you ever since and enjoying the travelling along with you .
OMG is it only 10 months. Best honest, layback, no bullshit feelgood channel. And I haven't actually seen every episode. Think it was when you bogged the truck and van... great quality videography.. lovr the Ningaloo, yet to show my family how bloody beautiful it is. Staying tuned until the next episode 😊
I absolutely love your videos I can not scroll past your channel woth out watching a video I would love to live the dream like you guys do I absolutely love your family
You ask why we watch your channel. I can only speak for myself so here is what I think. Usually I don't get to the end of other people's posts because they are either boring or self centered. I watch yours because you're so real, not just me centered but a real family with real problems and real highlights. You tell us the truth in very real language and don't pretend that everything is fine when it isn't. The video of Aurora's birth was such a beautiful example of reality so that I even cried! Your adventures show that you don't have to be super rich just careful and good at planning to have adventures as a family. You are an example of good parenthood and obviously love your children and each other. It's great to see families interacting as you do. You make me laugh, cry, and dream . I am 84 and for health reasons my travel days are over, but, through you I can visit the Australia I haven't managed to see. Thankyou heaps and may luck, love and laughter travel with you. Best wishes from across the Tasman.
Absolutely wholesome! This is truly incredible and you should definitely be proud of yourselves as a family. We love your quality content, the honesty and transparency is amazing.
Pretty sure I seen you in Newman a few weeks ago, got me back into watching episodes. You are like a "live" dream board of encouragement!! Thanks sharing your lives with us!
We have been watching since the first video that we stumbled onto accidentally last year. We are in our 70's from the US and just watch because we love the scenery, the crazy and rugged journey and especially because of the family. The love and respect is so evident and it is refreshing to see how well you work as a team to live the life you want. Passion for life, honesty, and love are what really matters in this world, and you demonstrate that in every video. Well done, Cartwrights.
I am happy to say that we older than you guys, both 50 this year kids have grown up, and we have decided to not be those ones that regret not doing something later in life. We had a construction company here in Nq and have shut it down. We are currently building stuff up to take off and when we take off we are going for a very long time. I tell everyone that I am not travelling Australia I am going to relocate to wherever we want and stay for as long as we want, see as much as we can. Chanel’s like yours have been nothing but encouragement for us. Both our kids have grown up camping and I really hope they start early in their own family lives (Or soon to be family lives - I’ve even got one starting to watch your Chanel and I hope this encourages her- ps she’s currently on a trip back from Uluṟu for a wedding. So please keep up the good work on showing us and everyone what can be done, young or older, there’s a great big world out there and our backyard is the best place to start.
Hey guys my husband and I are new to watching your adventures and have to say we are really enjoying your travels. We fit into the “Golden Oldie” category and love that you keep your videos down to earth and show the good and the bad. You guys have a great family attitude and what an amazing childhood the kids are having. Well done and we look forward to more adventures from you all.
Hey guys I love you guys.. let me say just a little to try and touch on the tip of the impact you guys have on some of us…I’m a struggling tradie I have life altering health issues. While laid up in my bed defeated and depressed with back issues I stumbled on your vid…. WOW what an inspiration! Genuinely telling it as it is and the pure honesty. The reason for you following is yous! Don’t change a thing.. I was facing a LONG portion of the rest of my life possibly in a chair.. (not that there is anything wrong with that should it be needed) but yous have inspired me to use dig deeper and push harder. All this after watching only this one video so far…. But I can assure you.. I will be binging while I recover as much as I can. Keep going let me catch up, I love it.. I cannot put into words the impact you have just had on my mental health!! ❤❤❤
Hi guys love the latest video, I’m with Jackson with his truck , I’ve got a 105 series Land Cruiser I got from my late father and it was his pride and now it’s mine , we had it converted with a 6.5 Chevy diesel by a company now that has been liquidated, it’s now parked in the driveway not being able to drive but still can’t get rid of it as it is apart of me now so just have to spend a crap load more money on it so I get that you guys are so awesome and we love your videos
Mum and dad you forget to tell everyone your actual names 😂. What a real, down to earth family you are. Enjoy catching your episodes when they come out. And I have to say the natural beauty, etiquette and style you both presented with the birthing video was awe inspiring. Can't wait to find a suitable caravan and start travelling. Hopefully one day we will see you guys out on the road and give you a wave 👋 ❤
Hi guys, when I saw the “we need to talk” header it was like “oh no” break up vibes. I was so disheartened. But surprised and happy to see you continuing on. It has been a hell of an adventure watching your journey. It seriously has been like a very person experience. From you having a baby to watching you dig the truck out of the mud for 12 hours…. Keep strong and stay true. It has been highly entertaining, heart wrenching and a pure pleasure. Thankyou
I just like to say you are some of the most genuine people that I have had the opportunity to watch and meet you in person only too happy to have a conversation with a stranger (me ) . Just waiting for baggage at Karratha airport. Safe travels.
You are really great couple, and your children are beautiful and to share your life on the road with us, is great to watch, keep up the good work, and I wish you both all the best, take care and safe travels. Cheers Anna.
Atfer following and watching your videos over the past 12 months, myself 60yrs and friend at 77yrs are heading off on our first budget road trip to Cape York to tick off the bucket-list. Thanks you for being you realistic and up front.
Good talk. Your ethics and values stand up - the fact you have a thriving building business in NSW that is essentially run by trusted colleagues is testament to that. To use your popularity online to give back to the community is a huge gesture and one you should all be proud of (as I see you are). As for schooling, your children have learnt more about live and living than they could earn learn academically. Keep enjoying breaking stuff while you can, and I will keep tuning in.
There seems to be a lot of RU-vidrs disappear ing. The adds have killed RU-vid. And like most I can’t afford to pay not to have them . I watch as it’s what I want but can’t afford to do it . And all of you give me what I can’t get . Thanks for giving us your life and showing what this great country has to offer.❤
You guys got a new fan this week. My 4 year old Granddaughter loves your content. She use to ask to watch funnies on RU-vid (cat videos) since seeing your channel she now asks to watch Camping.
Love your videos been on the Isle of Wight for a month now ready to start heading back to Devon in our 8m caravan but would love to do it full time. One day. You are travelling a beautiful Country and are a great close family sharing your adventures with us which we are grateful for. Cheers Guy’s from us in England
74 yr old retired stone mason- its great to see a tradie relying only on reputation of his work 💪 In your new venture please try & make a small pop up van with ensuite & 2 burner stove internally- My partner & I do the hard bush work that you guys are doing - but getting too old for external kitchens & portapotty in pissing rain 🤣🤣🤣 Heres hoping-- & love your authenticity Carry on rewardless 🤭🤭
I found you guys right as we sold our house and put our family in a trailer to make memories too! You guys are on a whole other level, but i love keeping up with where you are at. Even inspired my own channel to help our family keep up with us. Keep being you ya'll ❤
This video is everything thankyou so much. Hearing the good and bad is no needed. Travel is in our 5 year plan since 3rd bub was born 3 months ago van and truck hunting 😊
What a great episode guys, so lovely to see you both chatting so openly about your personal lives. Have absolutely loved following along with your travels since the beginning. Looking forward to the new ventures also. Stay safe and happy travels to you all. 😊
Nice to see you just sit down for a chat. I love that you don't push products onto all of us like others. This Venture you are taking on to give back just makes you 100% more special. I have told lots of people that you are the ones to watch......travel safely .
I just want to say, that I really enjoy all your videos. As I am stuck at home due to health issues for the past four years. I also watch every video that you upload, and I also have been here watching from your very first video.
Hi, just wanted to say I have watched all types of caravaning videos on RU-vid, and your channel is the only one I have subscribed to, I feel, you really strike a "realism" with your audience, basically your videos are refreshing and real, please don't change. I am extremely impressed that you want to support viewers to get out to see this country with your new ventures, I am looking forward to purchasing tickets to get an opportunity to support in such a small way. Whilst my story is much simpler and as yet my longest trip with my wife "off grid" is 2 weeks, my adult kids are very much into the camping/ weekender/ 4x4 ventures. Having just been told I won't have a job after April 2025, now is the time for me and my wife to make some changes at 60 years old (young and fit). I have commuted from Gosford to Sydney for 30 years and worked long hours in the city and sacrificed my family life - no more will i let the $$$ own me. Your videos are inspiring me and i am sure you know to others .... I am not sure how to write thank you :)
Love what you guys are planning to do. As a single mum with a toddler I enjoy your videos seeing how you manage parenthood whilst travelling. I recently bought a van to downsize life to spend more time with my son but doing it alone does have a bit of a fear factor. I love how real you guys are instead of just brushing everything with gold and making it look pretty. People like me need the reality of it not the instagram photos lol Well done! Good luck with it all. ❤
I found your channel while searching for videos for travel trucks, and follow any that I find. The added bonus is that you have your family travelling with you makes it quite enjoyable as well. I also prefer the longer videos, as it allows you to show us so much more of this amazing country of ours. Keep up the good work and enjoy yourselves!
Amazing guys ... very special people with your family . You are amazing to watch and been so honest to share your life with your family . Well dome there needs be more family like you out there and the world would be be a better place ... thank you
Don't change your ways guys, you are an inspiration to so many people. I am dreaming about a van like yours , Its a beast. Hope to see you out on the tracks one day.
Good on you guys, life is so short. Enjoy doing as you want, enjoy seeing your children grow up. Your kids are only on loan to you. Then they go their own way. Enjoy them while they are young. Keep living in the moment Cartwrights.
❤ been watching you guys from the start cant even remember how I came across your channel but really love how its not full of product reviews that clearly are the sponsorship. You have such a beautiful family and really love your adventures and how your videos have thia real calm nature making them so easy to watch.. keep it up guys, looking forward to you future videos❤❤❤
That was awesome . We have also watched you since day 1. At the start to see what broke next. Now it is your honesty, how you handle things. We admire your interaction with your family while wondering around in the dark. sometimes we see the frustration but never anger.
It's been a minute, but I'm finally back on line.... It's really felt a lot longer longer than just a year, what a ride, what a family. Thanks for the share, keep it going 🤙👍
Thank you for opening up and letting us into your world 😊 You’ve inspired me to travel further and go away offgrid camping for longer periods. Plus I dream of owning a truck like yours one day 😊🤞🏼 but for now I’m happy just touring in my Prado with my dog 🐶
All I can say is that my wife and I love your vid's, the adventures, the crazy things you have done, been through and the birth of your new child. We fully agree with you about that industry is all about take, take and sometimes rip off people, poor quality built vans etc. My wife and I are both like you guys as in help people when you can etc. Keep up the great HONEST work, video's etc and hopefully will catchup with you when we hit the road to WA from Vic.
We are currently doing a major renovation while living in it with four kids, one being born into the caos of torn down walls and electrical chandeliers. Our incomes come from our commercial plumbing company which is a constant stress. We dream to get out there and do a big lap we have been saying it for years now but feel stuck on a hamster wheel with no control. This video has been really inspirational to us to make it happen and get out there and enjoy quality time as a family! Loving the videos thanks for keeping it real
You guys are a fantastic couple with a beautiful family. Love the fact that's you've worked hard, having fun and now looking to use all that to give back. Well done to you.
Love your work guys, can’t believe how far you’ve come and me and my wife feel blessed to be part of your journey. Both inspiring us to get out more with our little ones and enjoy the great country we call home!
you 2 are an impressive team, I can resonate with the hard work and sacrifice you put in to get to the travel life, i don't watch so much for what you do but more for who you are. Mum and Dad LEGENDS thanks for sharing your life.
only found you guys recently, but me and the wife have loved your content. we are hoping to travel ourselves from the uk to Europe and Australia in the future. keep up the good vids but don't think you have to.
We love watching your family’s adventures. We think it’s great how honest you are and the love you have as a family is heartwarming. We look forward to every video and think it’s amazing what you’re planning on doing giving back!
Great video, I’ve been following you for a few months now so it was good to hear your back story. Love how ‘real’ you both are and just love watching your adventures and how you juggle it with family life. Definitely a goal of mine to get on that road!
