Radio Rage & Runaway Caravans

Radio Rage & Runaway Caravans

Episode 12 of Just A Bit Of Banter — two topics, zero filter. First up: UHF radio etiquette. Who's doing it wrong, what channel 40 is actually for, and why hogging channel 18 at the campsite gets you talked about (not in a good way). Then: the Australian caravan industry's rough run. Zone RV, Network RV (including Fair Dinkum Caravans) and now Sunland RV/X Series/Global RV have all gone into voluntary administration in the past year, owing tens of millions between them. We chat about what it means for owners, warranties, and whether the industry's actually in trouble or just working through a post-COVID correction — despite Aussies still taking a record 17.3 million caravan and camping trips last year. Grab a coffee (or something stronger), this one's just a chat. 👉 Adelaide RV video https://youtu.be/Od2WUExT_CM?si=yQfZ6sZBMqajOJ5M [https://youtu.be/Od2WUExT_CM?si=yQfZ6sZBMqajOJ5M] 👉 Andys Adventures Cooking? https://youtube.com/shorts/JfLkBjCS6sw?si=3d4qLLLvlVXGz7lA [https://youtube.com/shorts/JfLkBjCS6sw?si=3d4qLLLvlVXGz7lA] 👉 Journey Unknown https://www.youtube.com/@JourneyUnknown [https://www.youtube.com/@JourneyUnknown] 👉 Ranger Touring https://www.youtube.com/@rangertouring [https://www.youtube.com/@rangertouring] Chapters: 0:00 Intro 14:52 UHF radio etiquette — the do's and don'ts 20.37 Caravan industry collapses — Zone RV, Network RV, Sunland RV & more 33:18 Community Corner 40:00 Stretchers 45:50 Algorithm boost

Gav freezes in swag & Aussie Wind Wall creator grilled

Just a Bit of Banter – Episode 11 | Aussie Wind Wall (Camp Wall Special at Gordon Country) This week on Just a Bit of Banter, we’re joined by Dan from Aussie Wind Wall for a proper yarn out at Gordon Country — talking all things camping, comfort, and keeping the wind at bay. We dig into the story behind their gear, including the existing Camp Wall Pro and the brand new Camp Wall Flex, plus we get a sneak peek at what’s coming next from Aussie Wind Wall. Expect laughs, honest feedback, and a few cheeky digs along the way. Of course, it wouldn’t be a camping trip without a few dramas: * Gav discovers exactly how cold a swag can get on a rough night * Dan gets called out on his fire-building skills (or lack thereof…) * And a “one more drive” turns into a moment that almost goes sideways It’s all banter, beers, campsite chaos, and real-world testing of gear in proper conditions. If you enjoy camping, Aussie humour, gear talk, or just watching mates take the mickey out of each other, you’ll want to stick around for this one. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 02:54 - Testing windbreaks in harsh conditions & product durability 08:31 - The story behind Aussie Wind Walls 10:13 - Quality materials & design features of Campwall Pro 15:32 - The upcoming launch Camp Wall Flex windbreak 20:20 - "Create the zone" 25:00 - Different ways to set up wind walls for maximum comfort 37:00 - Versatility in setup styles
