Location

Trip In A Van is currently at the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. They are originally from Newcastle, NSW but left in December of 2015.

Setup

Justin and Bec have had several setups over the years, including a BT-50 when the kids were younger.

Today they have a dual-cab Landcruiser 200 series which was chopped and extended by AEV. The total cost for this was around $195,000 AUD.

In addition, they tow a 21′ 6″ Sunseeker Desert Storm with triple bunks, with a remarkable 340 liters of water.

Affording It

Justin and Bec didn’t come from rich parents and had to work hard to achieve their dreams of traveling Australia in a caravan.

➡️ Justin worked as a mechanic in the mines for 15 years

➡️ Bec worked as a nurse and pathologist until having kids

Their earlier setups weren’t as elaborate and cost under $100k. Just look at their first video from 6 years ago:

As they’ve grown their YouTube following, they were able to upgrade their rig for their growing family. In their own words:

We put away as much money as we could each pay week and Justin worked loads of overtime. We paid our mortgage repayments, groceries among other bills and transferred the rest into another account. Justin was working long hours and as often as he could while I was home with our kids. This is what worked for our family, although not ideal, we knew the end goal. TRAVELLING AUSTRALIA FOR 12 MONTHS!!

Trip In A Van

Not only did they need to buy the 4×4 and caravan, but they also set themselves a goal of saving $50,000 to last 12 months on the road.

We do know of an exciting and creative way to buy a caravan debt-free, and it’s an opportunity so few Australians know about. 👍

Keep reading as we’ll share more about that towards the end. 😃

Income

Many Australians are curious what Trip In A Van YouTube earnings are for 2023, and we’ve created our best estimate based on publicly available information.

Trip In A Van makes $16,000 AUD per MONTH from their YouTube channel.

Pretty remarkable, hey? 😎

This is comprised of:

➡️ $4,100/month via YouTube ads they run on their channel

➡️ $1,700/month selling caravaning eBooks via their website

➡️ $2,200/month selling official Trip In A Van merchandise

➡️ $5,000/month big-time sponsorships and brand deals

➡️ $3,000/month from their group of Patreon supporters

While it’s obvious that they focus on their 4×4 gear, Bec also makes some money through her jewelry and clothing recommendations.

Net Worth

With the cost of their caravan being $85,000, their Landcruiser costing $195,000 plus 4×4 accessories and the tinny, their total rig cost $300,000. Now just combine this with their savings, investments and monthly income, and it’s reasonably easy to estimate what they have.

Popular YouTube channel ‘Trip In A Van’ has a net worth of $750,000 Australian dollars and this grows each month.

It should be noted that Justin and Bec never received their 4×4 or caravan for free. They have had to pay for both themselves and this may have been through bank loans.

The Strategy

Trip In A Van has a very basic strategy to fund their trip around Australia. They create highly engaging episodes about their trip around Australia, then reach out to brands to sponsor their content, while also creating eBooks and merchandise.

However, they are leaving a ton of money on the table. They haven’t utilized affiliate marketing, SEO or display advertising on their website which could double their monthly income.

This might be the perfect opportunity for you right now. You could start your own website which funds your own offroad trip around this beautiful country.

Big Moments

Justin, Bec and the kids have had several big moments in their travels.

These include:

➡️ A kangaroo jumped in their caravan when the kids were toddlers

➡️ Driving their caravan on multiple beaches and not getting bogged

➡️ Taking their offroad caravan up to Cape York and returning safely

Controversy

Fortunately, the Lorrimer family haven’t created any real controversy with their travels, although they do use some click-baitey thumbnails to increase their YouTube views but most YouTubers do this too.

They have had to homeschool their children which has been challenging but rewarding at the same time. Not only that, but keeping their channel and website up to date hasn’t been easy.

Collabs

They have met some wonderful families while traveling around the country and living on the road. However, they haven’t featured anyone on their channel apart from close family.

Future

They’ll be continuing their journey ever since finding paradise in Western Australia, namely Ningaloo. They have already finished their big lap and provided a ton of insights:

I see no reason for them to suddenly stop their travels given how much they’ve been making off YouTube recently. Plus – living on the road gives us the freedom we’re all craving in this hectic world.

Summary

Justin, Bec and the kids are the quintessential Australian family who enjoys seeing this beautiful country through their own eyes. They didn’t let excuses, money, jobs or schooling get in the way of their adventures.

They’re definitely giving their kids one heck of an adventure!

At the same time, that freedom for you might be closer than you think.

In their words:

Each individual financial situation is different, but if you want to travel Australia you’ll make it work. Start now and put away a little bit each week and we’ll be seeing you on the road in no time!!
