At Serenity Caravan Park on Queensland’s Fraser Coast, the show celebrates the “Peaceful place” where travellers swap long yarns, share laughs, and lend a hand. Rob, the park owner, goes above and beyond—towing in a future guest, scrubbing a mate’s van for sale in the middle of the park, and helping broker a swap where a former guest buys the van and the seller ends up buying her camper. The park community also rallies to lift a dropped drawbar using a trolley jack and a self-powered jockey wheel, ending the night with a shared cool drink.
The episode’s spotlight is on Brian (travelling with wife Leeza), who stopped for a while returning from a Christmas and New Year visit to family, balancing life working in the mines near Emerald with time on the road. Brian explains choosing this quieter park over bigger, busier options and scouting the wider area—from Burrum Heads through Hervey Bay—as a possible retirement spot, even after an unproductive fishing attempt. He details his off-road caravan setup (a 20’6" Koda Challenger with upgraded lithium batteries, roof solar, and 300L water), a custom bike rack he built to use dead space on the drawbar, and troubleshooting towing stability by replacing 13-year-old shocks. Brian also shares his long-running satellite/TV setup, including upgrades to Starlink, and walks through extensive modifications to his Ford Ranger—plus a comparison to his earlier GU Patrol with a 6.5L Chev diesel—highlighting how modern gearing and controls make towing quieter, easier, and less stressful.
