Thank you Steve and co for the opportunity to view and review your first BT-dvd. My wife and i have been caravaning for some 20+ years but most of our travels have been restricted to caravan parks by the sea. 18 months ago we purchased a second hand 18ft BT so we could now explore those out of the way places. We did a fair bit of research and decided that a BT would allow us to travel with confidence. If the dvd was available years ago it would have made our task a little easier.
Now to the review.
Had problems viewing the first edition due to no wide screen format. Received a second copy and watched it a second time. On the same day also watched a similar dvd from another caravan company. Enjoyed them both. The difference. One cost $20, the other free. One bashed vans and vehicles to prove toughness, BT entertained, provided practical information, demonstrations and bought back vans and vehicles unscathed. Caravaning for us is a way of life and is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable. It is also a large investment. The BT dvd shows that with a bushtracker you can safely get away from the madding crowds to some beautiful places and be self sufficient. The factory tour was a real plus. It wet the appetite for more info. Now i own a BT i want to know it inside out. I personally would have liked more of the factory tour and a bit more of the goodies that enable these vans to be self sufficient in the bush. I know a factory tour will do this however some people initially purchase second hand for various reasons which allows others to buy their second or third van. The dvd was a very good attempt at easing interested parties into the lifestyle. I have made numerous copies.

Thank you for that Lance...

I agree with the Bush Bashing part of other DVDs, that was not our aim, and from many Clients comments, does their company no credit... We did not want to scare people or have them think you have to abuse the equipment to have a good time in really remote areas that most people have not seen, and show a comfortable quality of Life under the Stars...

We had thought of further enhancing the Factory Tour part, but thought we really did not want it better. We want people to come to the Factory and see more for themselves. Thank you for your efforts at the review, and there will be more ......
