While in port in Akaroa, NZ, we came across a Freedom Camping location on the waterfront, and interviewed a lovely couple from Denmark about their experiences in their rented campervan. We'll be picking up our own campervan in Cairns in less than a week! We can't wait. :) We also took a trip on a historic ketch to check out the beauty and wildlife around Akaroa, New Zealand. To find out more about our road trip, here's our introductory video: https://youtu.be/L94rxH1ly7M Melbourne Beach Boondocking: https://youtu.be/awLWxKQYGug Tasmanian Devil Feeding Frenzy!: https://youtu.be/ypN9wZCrui4 Dunedin, NZ Driving on the Left: https://youtu.be/Zvh_7oOglCw The RVgeeks are hitting the road to Oz! We'll be camping our way from the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, 1,700 miles down Australia's magnificent Pacific Coast to Sydney. Come on along for the ride! Look for photos on Instagram, too! @RVgeeks OUR TRIP GEAR: Sony Alpha A6000 Camera Kit: http://bit.ly/sony-a6000-camera Sony Zoom Microphone: http://bit.ly/sony-gun-zoom-microphone Sony 128GB Memory Card: http://bit.ly/sony-128gb-memory-card A6000 Screen Protector: http://bit.ly/sony-a6000-screen-protector Yunteng Monopod Selfie Stick: http://bit.ly/yunteng-selfie-stick GoPro Hero 4 Silver Action Camera: http://bit.ly/go-pro-hero-4-silver Feiyu 3-Axis Handheld GoPro Gimbal: http://bit.ly/feiyu-gimbal GorillaPod Focus w/Ballhead: http://bit.ly/joby-gorillapod-ballhead Satechi Wireless Intervalomoter: http://bit.ly/satechi-intervalometer Satechi Intervalometer Cable: http://bit.ly/intervalometer-cable Earth Pak Waterproof Dry Bag: http://bit.ly/earth-pak-dry-bag WD 2TB External Drive: http://bit.ly/wd-2tb-passport-drive Universal Electrical Adapter: http://bit.ly/universal-travel-adapter 3-into-1 Electrical Adapter - http://bit.ly/3-outlet-adapter Before we pick up our campervan (that's what us Aussies call a small motorhome 😉), we'll be on a 2-week vacation in yet another gigantic vehicle... a cruise ship. :) Once we hit the road, we'll be sharing every aspect of our 2,700-kilometer drive from the Great Barrier Reef back to Sydney. We'll compare the systems on our campervan to North American RVs, experience a mix of Holiday Parks and "Free Camping" and of course we'll feature the famous beauty and hospitality of Oz. Besides videos, we'll be sharing photos on Instagram (we're RVgeeks there of course)! Thanks for following along. We hope our trip is the great adventure we've been dreaming of. Stay tuned!

Here's all of our favorite equipment that we use ourselves and recommend to friends: http://thervgeeks.com/our-favorite-gear/ Full-Time RVers since April 11, 2003, we share DIY (do it yourself) RV maintenance, repair, travel, upgrade and operational tips & tricks. While we're not RV technicians, we're very mechanically inclined and have learned a lot about RV systems over the years. We've handled most of our own minor service, maintenance and upgrade work on both of our RVs. We meet lots of newer RVers who are eager to learn some basics about using, maintaining and caring for their rigs. After more than a decade on the road, we're happy to share what we've learned (some of it the hard way). ;-) We hope our experience can help other RVers go DIY, saving time & money while experiencing the satisfaction of a job well done. We are not professional RV technicians and do not pretend to be experts on any particular topic. We mostly know about maintaining our own motorhome, so be sure to confirm that all methods and materials used are compatible with your equipment. Every RV is different, so your systems may not be the same as ours. Regardless of what we recommend, consult a professional if you're unsure about working on your RV. We encourage you to do your own research. Any task you perform or product you purchase based on any information we provide is strictly at your own risk. Comments welcome! Thanks for watching!
