Weโ€™ve said it so many times - and Iโ€™m sure weโ€™ll say it many more - we just LOVE the feeling of driving along the beach, windows down, hair blowing in the wind just breathing in the salt air ๐Ÿ˜
Whatโ€™s your favourite beach to drive on? This one is Goolwa Beach - heading back from checking out the Mouth of the Murray which is flowing hard no doubt thanks to all the water filtering down from the east coast ๐Ÿ’ฆ

๐Ÿ– Did you know that Australia has the largest number of beaches of any country in the world with just under 12,000?! And โ€ฆ Australiaโ€™s Best Beaches for 2022 have been decided!
Would you believe, we are right near one of them RIGHT NOW! Yep. Flahertyโ€™s Beach, right here on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia comes in hot at number 4. We know that this beach has earned it spot .. itโ€™s stunning! The colours are breathtaking AND You can can drive all the way along it ๐Ÿ˜

Here are the 3 beaches that were voted above Flahertys -

1. Misery Beach, Albany WA
2. Horseshoe Bay, South West Rocks, NSW
3. The Spit, Gold Coast, QLD

Weโ€™ve been to 2&3, and feel that Flahertys should have come in at number 2 for sure ๐Ÿค What are your top 3 beaches? ๐Ÿ˜

โ€ผ๏ธCARAVAN REVEAL PART 2โ€ผ๏ธ THE TIME HAS COME!!!! ๐Ÿ˜ Tonight at 7:30pm Adelaide time we introduce you to the Titanium โ€”โ€”โ€” (yep, youโ€™ll find out the name tonight!) and run you through the external features of this brand new model van ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Link to YouTube is in BIO ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿผ

Together with Titanium Caravans we believe we have built what we believe to to be the ULTIMATE OFF GRID CARAVAN! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ

We are so excited to finally be sharing our brand new caravan with you and have been working hard behind the scenes with Titanium Caravans for months to design and build the ULTIMATE Off Grid/Off Road Caravan.

We have really stepped it up in this build and taken caravanning to a whole new level! With weight and size no longer an issue thanks to the Silverado having a large BTC, a lot of our previous restrictions have disappeared which made the design process so much more fun.

In Part 1 - The Build, we took you through the full caravan build from creation of the Cruisemaster Suspension and S&M Chassis, right through to each part of the process in the brand new Titanium Caravans factory in Campbellfield. Be sure to check that out if you havenโ€™t already ๐Ÿ˜

We want to give a huge shout-out to all the legends involved who have helped make this incredible caravan possible:
