Their face is familiar Vic.   The van looks to be a Roadstar or one like that but can't be sure.

I was wondering if they used actors or are they real on the road Grey Nomads for the ad Ma.   Thought maybe someone may have seen them on the road.

The tug looks a bit small for the van, but then if its a large van then that could account for looking smaller.  I thought it might have been one of the new Toyo's, some of them look small but are very powerful....

Is that the one where the lady stands waving to the helicopter filming, they are standing on the edge of a cliff with tug and van, She has blonde hair and glasses. No I don't know who they are but she does look familiar.

Yes that is the one, and you hear her arranging her insurance saying they want to pay monthly etc.   She looks very pleased with herself standing on the cliff, I hope she didn't push her husband over wink biggrin

Think I will forget about both of them if you don't mind too much.  Always hit the mute button for most adds, especially the Hardly Normal and Domayne ones.  Drive you nuts with all the yelling.

It's just an ad, and I'd bet the van and vehicle are part of the staging with actors.
Towing a big van with a little car is always a worry.

Our favourite ad at the moment...... Rick stirs everytime he sees "Sue" guiding "Terry" into the parking spot. Pretend it's us already out there
