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! Here’s what you need to master:

1. Water
2. Power
3. Communications
4. Waste
5. Food & Beverage
6. Essential Gear
7. Emergency Plan

How do you choose the perfect vehicle to tow your caravan across the vast Australian landscape? Join us, Paul, Katie, and Jasper from the Feel Good family, as we tackle this ever-popular debate. We weigh the merits of the trusted Toyota Land Cruiser against the rising trend of American trucks, spiced up with lively feedback from our audience on social media. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the numerous acronyms in the towing world, we’ll help you make sense of it all. Plus, we share our excitement about the latest addition to the travel family—the new Zone RV Sojourn Family Bunk Van 2025.

Taking a nostalgic detour, we reflect on the life lessons and cherished memories formed during family road trips. Imagine nine of us crammed into a vehicle, journeying from Melbourne to Queensland, or traversing 33 American states in a trusty old Winnebago. These experiences were more than just travels—they were a testament to our parents' resilience and creativity, shaping our values and outlook on life. From the solitude of South Stradbroke Island to the challenges of an IVF journey, our favorite destinations and stories highlight the importance of gratitude and treasuring moments with loved ones. We also touch on a family-authored book inspired by these adventures, illustrating the power of storytelling to capture and create lasting memories.
