Busted On Our Way To South Australia!

We're off to South Australia but not without its challenges! We leave hot & dry Melbourne to cold, wet & windy Colac. We have an interesting experience with the police on the side of the freeway and our 1st night wasn't how we envisioned our holiday to begin! This episode is us trying to get to SA!

In Queensland you would have copped a fine for not having extended mirrors. . Also for leaving mirrors on when not towing.
Ratchet strap type mirrors fit everything and don't fit directly onto the door.

They are highway patrol or state highway patrol. I’m a retired member of 17 years, left In late 2022. He could have given you a ticket but didn’t. He was out there to get PBTS and stats. The guy with the beard is a trainee and was just bored standing there. I think he liked you guys. Love your videos!

Great vid guys, I reckon they are getting better each week. On my walk today I'm going to check the skip bin at your work for these "mirrors you threw out" lol.😂

We have the same car and we use Milenco. Yes it shakes but it works. I wouldn’t personally be arguing with the police as it is illegal to tow without mirrors anyway. They are only trying to keep road safe. Accidents happen and be ready to accept it. I have to make sure to buy extra in case they do come off. 😬

Love your guys content ... raw and real - just awesome to watch 👍
Stay tight and safe travels team 🙏

[josephstratti]

Good to watch you two get along great together and showing even the hiccups like forgetting the van chocks and brake still on.Everyone has made some mistake at sometime on the journey.Good luck and safe travel

Excuses are like belly buttons, everyone has got one. It was only a matter of time before the police pulled you over for no towing mirrors.

Rules are rules unfortunately guys, Never had any issues with Milenco mirrors on our car. The reason why he sat in your blind spot is for that exact reason, if only you had mirror and set up properly you would have seen him there.. imagine changing lanes and not seeing the car there and causing the accident, im sure you would not be happy and extremely dangerous and good luck trying to get out of that one then. ;)

Hey guys love the vid. But you can buy the ratchet strap mirrors. Don’t move, don’t shake and WILL NOT COME OFF CAR IN THE WIND OR WHEN A TRUCK PASSES

[MegaSusanc]

Hi guys, enjoyed your vid, congrats 🍾🥂We have the VX LC300, we have attach on mirrors from BCF, so far they are working ok. We got our bullbar from ARB, Qld, we chose black and very happy with it. ARB can replace the reserve tank to a larger one without moving the spare wheel. Put Kings Heavy Duty std height springs with air bags on rear (Air Bag Man have them now, we got PolyAir). Replaced front springs and shocks with Bilstein B60s which lifted the front end by 40mm to level out - trying to keep evrything close to standard height (to fit under car parks - under 2m). We got a small GVM upgrade (280kg) to help out with weights and still within new car warranty. Hope this helps. Safe travels, we'll be watching.

[paulholubecki]

Glad I can provide a laugh..
Ya mirrors work fine but ya missus couldn't see the copper in the blind spot...
I'm sitting in our conference room getting ready for shift change.
Hopefully for you you never require our help.
Have a nice day..

[johnsipolis]

Ah, just stumbled across your channel, wonder why I haven't seen it before. Love your relaxed manner, will follow just subscribed. Enjoy your adventure and safe travelling.

[Jessica-iq]

We just found your videos and are enjoying watching you guys. I really didn't like your comment on someone else's setup at Lake Colac just as you were driving in. Just because you have the fancy car and caravan, it doesn't mean that you should make fun of others because they are in a cheap setup. They are still out there enjoying life.
You were stopped by the police for not having towing mirrors, not because you have a 300 series.

[Davidlee-cvvo]

Congrats if you don’t make mistakes you will not learn good on you guys owning up to them.
We are fellow melbournites we wish you safe travels always and relax a bit more and you will love everything about caravanning 🎉
