Great review guys !
definitely some over the top rigs getting around out there.
It’s all about getting out there in what you can afford and having a great time.

Great to see an honest review from a family that has taken a van on some of the roughest roads our country has to offer . You can’t beat experience and thanks to yourselves give hopefuls a good idea of what works and what doesn’t . This and previous videos give people itchy feet . Again thanks .

@richardstephenson4575 7 months ago

Great honest review you certainly put that van through a torture test and I see they are already improving the van.

@ladysusanjane2682 7 months ago

Cameron Caravans should be very happy with your review. Very positive but it looked like it deserved a good one 👌🏻
It’s been fab watching your trip, going to places I may never get to in life.
Look forward to future plans 😊

Finally people that make more sense. I also couldn't understand why everyone is going purely electric. As gas just lasts long periods and convenient. Thanks for mentioning that

Hi guys, we've been watching you from the beginning. Thanks for sharing your trips it brings back a lot of memories for us we spent 3 years driving round Australia from 1976 to79 we had a chrysler valiant slant 6 with 3 on the tree and a 20 foot franklin double axil caravan. Back then, the nullabor had only 1 lane paved and from robourne in wa to almost the stuart hwy it was dirt. We also had our kids with us aged 3 and 1, with no washroom, ac, etc, just the basics. We would stop where we could get work and took lots of slides (pictures), which we now have on digital and enjoy seeing some of the places you were that we were as well.
Cheers from Toronto Canada

A wonderful review of “your” caravan . A great advertisement for Cameron Caravans who we considered when buying a van . A fabulous review of your trip which we absolutely have enjoyed and look forward to seeing you at the Perth Caravan and Camping Show . Many thanks for your thoughts and realistic views about caravanning .

@royharris9851 7 months ago

Thanks guys, great review. We are from NSW so we have a Torus RV (sister van I believe) & love it!

@debbiepodgorski6233 7 months ago

Thanks Tiff and Cam ,hubby and I found this episode so informative ,since we are about to purchase our first van we have been to numerous shows doing studies ect and are just getting a lil overwhelmed lol … this episode was good for us ta ✨☮️🇦🇺✨

@GYP-ms7ko 7 months ago

What a great review. Having seen where you took the van The manufacturers should be wrapped the way it held up! If our JB holds up that way next year I will be thrilled 😁

@michelleE-k7v 7 months ago

Been looking forward to your review guys. We have had Cameron Caravans on our radar for awhile now & have visited the Perth factory & met Michael and crew a year or 2 ago. We were so impressed back then and were so keen to hear what your thoughts were. Just wearing out our old hybrid a little more & waiting on retirement to enjoy the luxury of a new van 😂

One of the best videos for people to reference when setting up their caravan, especially electrics V gas.
We used our portable induction outside 90% of the time to cook and keep the smoke and grease out of the van.
Our stone damage was more extensive and included the sheeting of the floor.
Our touring experience aligns with your great advice.👏
