Catastrophes I Didn't See Coming

Catastrophes I Didn't See Coming. Climb on board and experience 3 catastrophes that might come your way, and how to cope.

G'day, legends!
It's your favourite full-time caravanning YouTuber here, Paul Wheel Drive and today, we're getting real. I've shown you the stunning sunsets, the epic free camps, and the pristine beaches. So, in this video, I’m going to share my three catastrophes and offer ways of dealing with them and perhaps, preventing them.

Catastrophe #1: A Run In With A 40 Tonne Roadtrain! 😩
You're cruising along, living the dream, and BAM! You see in your rear vision mirror a huge road train gaining on you with a “Need For Speed” attitude.

How I cope (and how you should too!):
Hang on to your steering wheel, put as much pressure on your brakes, without locking them and hope the Indian Truckie has the experience to bring his road train home, safely:

Catastrophe #2: Poisoned Fuel Stops Your Vehicle In Its Tracks! 🌪️🔥💧
Australia is beautiful and large, but no matter how economical your tow vehicle is, she will drink copious amounts of fuel!

How I cope: * I didn’t, but now with my new found knowledge, I will probably be able to prevent engine failure: If you are driving out in the country, a capsule of F10 or Fuel Doctor will keep your engine running free of contamination and maybe ever a little more fuel efficient. Who doesn’t want better fuel economy.

Catastrophe #3: Your Well Maintained Van Loses A Wheel, At Speed! 📡

How I cope:
A satellite phone or "In-Reach" Emergency device will save the day: Our phones are great, but we don't rely solely on them. We travel with a UHF CB radio (great for communicating with truckies and other caravanners) and, for truly remote areas, a satellite phone or a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB).

Caravanning Australia is an absolute dream, but like any big adventure, it comes with risks. By being prepared, staying informed, and knowing how to react, you'll be well-equipped to turn potential catastrophes into just another story to tell around the campfire.
