SPECIAL EDITION! - Off Road Off Grid AUSTRALIA - what you need to know before you go!

Send us Fan Mail Uncover the joys and challenges of off-road, off-grid living in Australia. We discuss essential preparations, such as education, water management, power systems, communication devices, and relationship dynamics during travel. • The importance of education before embarking on off-road adventures • Key considerations for water management in remote areas • Importance of reliable power sources while camping off-grid • Essential communication tools for safety and coordination • Relationship dynamics and strategies for travelling couples • Resources available for further learning, including a free audiobook • Free tickets for Australia’s largest Caravan and Camping Super Show Before we sold up our life on the Gold Coast, we had never even owned a tent. Fast forward 180,000km, three different vans, two vehicles, and a few “well, that was a bad idea” purchasing decisions—we’ve learned a thing or two. From the highs of remote sunsets and campfire cook-ups to the lows of vehicle rollovers, split heads, broken ankles, ribs, and the occasional tyre blowout, we’ve lived to tell the tale. As the saying goes, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” … or at least a whole lot wiser! The first couple of years we cruised the blacktop, but for the last three years, we’ve gone full send into the off-road life. Cape York, Oodnadatta, Meerenie Loop, Plenty Highway—if it’s remote and rugged, chances are we’ve driven it. In fact, our first year with our ZONE RV and Toyota Landcruiser 79 was spent entirely off-grid—unplugged, self-sufficient, and loving it! If you’re planning on heading off road and off grid, survival is great, but thriving is even better!
