drive mildura could be the one impeccably presented and cared for this home has a most impressive layout store your lotus caravan safely with the side access and your toys in the 6x9 metre shed plus if you're a travelling camper you can lock up take off and tour the nation let's have a look [Music] all right it's all feeling pretty real now this is probably the hardest part for me i think my shed this is my sort of you know man cave like i've got stuff from racing over the years and just all my you know four drive stuffs in here and like we're having to go through it all because we're not getting we're not getting a storage shed just the the cost of like the minimum we found about 120 bucks a week and we don't know if this is going to be a two three five ten year thing like forever we just don't know so it wasn't worth it to us so it was pretty much not going on the van it's gone we've got some stuff we're taking to our parents just some um you know spare motorbike tires and um parts for that and a few things we're still keeping that's going to our parents house which are very lucky for that but yeah it's all happening there's crap area at the moment we're doing we're going to do one trial load to the tip and then everything else and that should hopefully we should be sort of keeping or it's coming with us we're pretty good we're pretty minimal people any anyway so but yeah it's it's feeling feeling real now it's it's scary but it's exciting i just keep pitching once we're once we're done and we're on we're just not even going to think about this so it's all happening oh it's a good feeling really full surely surely you don't want to put these in the van put them in what's the other pillow put them in they have to get what are you doing is this the rubbish ball that's the rubbish part no no they comment down below if the cheeky shag pillows have to come in they're coming come on imagine we look like in photos hi beautiful hey guys it's got a small trailer just some general waste so all that's rubbish mate yeah the whole the whole lot yeah yeah 50 20 mate hot george's toys don't let us don't let us say that she wasn't too happy about that oh that's hard [Music] this is probably the hardest decision for me was throwing all me trophies out i've got a freaking maybe 100 of them i reckon but each house would move to it's like do we keep him do we not and then now it's the calls we made so a lot of history gone all that money motorbikes motorbikes so expensive well just for this it's gone [Music] that's that it that feels good what are you having yeah feel good yeah it's a big relief that's not bad at all our stuff just one trail load that's pretty good so oh that's done it's in the past it's too late now on to the next thing what are we doing next we fix couplings around the house yeah the shed yeah finish off the shed yeah the important stuff get that gun on parents house and that spread that around and yeah get this get the house ready to fully go on an open inspection and go for sale chucking on a bit of lunch nothing exciting but definitely our favorite okay good [Music] what i'm doing here i'm going through this is something we actually never usually take with us and we always end up being that guy that needs a a 10 mil bolt or a screw or something because there's always going to be something that's a number plate blinker um we're taking the dirt bike over so there's always something the bolts are going to come out so i'm without going to overboard this i've got me sort of the kdm um for the bike with the bolts i know i'm no i'm going to need eight 10 mils six mil um screws in that some spare stake pegs but it's going through i've got a hopping i've been gone through about five i've been through about five of these things i've got just different size nuts washes bolts um screws all different types of head and that i'm just going to take one of these so there's enough in there again you're never going to have every single size but it's really going to limit that chance of you know if we get stuck somewhere and you know just quickly to jam a bolt in somewhere they'll be able to get us through so it's a it's definitely you know again we'll see after we travel start traveling of how much we do use it but it can only be handed that one one bulk could be handy once and it could you know it could save you hours of you know being a pain in your ass i am currently folding up what's left of all my clothes i have thrown out about three huge bags of clothes and then donated maybe about four bags of clothes that would just they're too good to throw away but i don't wear them anymore so hopefully all of these will fit in these two tiny cupboards that we've got up here let's see how i go alrighty so they are all in which is good so i have two up here and then josh has two across here as well um and then i'll show you our other clothing storage so we've also got more storage in our bathroom um this did um originally comes with um shelving so as you can see if we want to change back to the shelving we can um but yeah we opted for the hanging space just because um i hate ironing so um we've got them all hung up in here and there's still a couple more things to go in but what we use is these flopped um crate hangers like they're the velvet ones just from kmart but they are a huge space saver so definitely recommend getting some of those for your caravan mazda 2 for sale mint condition 14 inch rims fresh bob jane all rounders freshly polished oh she's gone how do you feel about this is your first car yep i got this car before i turned 18 so i've had it for nearly 10 years now uh should be sad to see it go but it's we haven't got long to sell this thing though we've only got bloody like it's kind of two weeks so markets hot for selling cars at the moment though so get it nice and polished get some photos up and hopefully move on before we go away but it is sad but i mean it's probably more so sad for you that it's right it'll go it's gonna be going towards good things more money for the patrol maybe supercharger [Music] so how can we leave like that what do you reckon stockies rolling stock is painted black that looks tough are you ready put the hubs back on all right we are two days away from our first open inspection we are burning the midnight oil mikaela is bloody clean look at this i'm cleaning the oven um i've never cleaned this oven since the five years that we've don't tell them that no it wasn't even that bad it was just a couple of splash marks on the glass so i'm just polishing right there scrubbing scrubbing off the splatter marks and then the the lucky buyer this place is just coming up immaculate it's actually really it's kind of really sad looking around like we have we always have this place looking looking sweet but it's just it's looking shining so we've got a bloody rear door uh rear door got a door getting replaced here had a couple of um little marks on it so you can see look at the mazda sit in there for sale got a couple hits on already went up went up today so that's not gonna last too long i reckon bedroom's looking good gonna have to sell the workbench as well that's gonna have to be a buy swap sell special put the clothes racking that going on here clearing out it's made it so easy having the caravan we've actually been living in the caravan for a week now because it got the place because it got the place so tidy we're just sort of trying to stay out of the place otherwise we'll just be chasing our tail cleaning up so it's made it easier to pack so just pretty much whatever's whatever's going to go on the van what we're taking we're taking if not it's going on the bin for sale we're going to go to one of our parents house to sit around until we sort of come back so she's all happening it's about 9 30 at night at the moment and um yeah it's hard i'm still working it's my last week of um of massaging this week and then we're going to be fully online fully traveling campus so it's going to be worth it once all this stuff's done and we're on the road it is going to be so worth it what do you reckon about this george you're gonna be a full-time traveling dog no [Laughter] oh you think she's scared is she scared no no she just wants she's just happy as long as she's with her mum and dad no more bloody on the couch inside yeah yeah i guess yeah she's not really you're not really not really going without so full-time traveling dog she's going to shoot you already done half a

adds a bit of taste to you know what your house your house and the and the owners so it's pretty cool so the house is on the market so yeah we've been living in the caravan for a week already so we're pretty lucky it's made it easy to like the house is that clean inside we're just um we're not gonna go we're just like we're not going in there as soon as we brush our teeth or have a shower put marks and everything so in the we're in the van which is very lucky it's made it easy so um we've just been packing stuff straight in living out of here and um kind of leaving our mess in here a little bit

we had to replace a globe blue in our um little walk-in robe thingy there the globe look up weeks ago and we've got the glue glue up there but it's not plugged into the roof and we've got all that lights on looking looking mickey mouse but um so i forgot so i need to get into the roof and of course we don't have a ladder so this is the best thing i've come up with so i don't i don't know how it's gonna it's gonna go i don't like putting too much weight what about oh i don't like this i don't like this at all how's that looks okay if you quickly get in there this is horrible oh my god i need a torch yeah are you up there i you're not in the right spot yes i am i can see it okay i'll plug it in it looks way worse yeah down here he got it so i actually put a hole in the room oh that did not feel nice how do i do this oh i'm not a trader i don't know how they do that 47 degrees again flat so i actually do damage a little bit oh you're driving oh no oh no what was it you slipped for your knee that was my thought was on the beam i just like slipped for a second and whoops oh no seriously that's bad [Music] i think we're doing better off having no light than the hat oh there's always some there's always something all so good and so close no it's nothing to fix the house but that doesn't look good and someone's gonna turn that light on you like a white texture or something [Music] oh it's done it's done i'm just going to tell them um yeah that's why i'm not trying this this is why i massage people where are you kayla oh good to go yeah we have we have 10 minutes right here polishing the knob all right we're still going to get a quick look through it's a little bit rushed now i did just put a hole in the roof but that's all right all right let's do a bit of a walk through just very quickly bathroom beautiful and shiny love this layout i picked this up couple of these cars myself actually mirror into the bedroom big tv fan beautiful into the hallway nice big

our first one so you know the bike down display which is cool and then down to the side side driveway this is going to be a winner for people because i know when we built the place and we were looking for a bit this no one really had that big side access most was just to access through the carpet which i didn't did not like we had motorbikes and didn't have a caravan back then but we knew we were going to be doing quite a bit of that stuff so i think that's going to be the that's going to be the winner just the way themselves the way the place is presented it's um really really neat so then
