Hi all, Has anyone used or know anything about Camplify?? It is a platform that can be used to rent out your RV....camper, caravan, campervan motorhome....when you have no need to use it yourself.

I am looking at buying a Sunliner Trex for myself as I do not need anything too big. I thought a full size motorhome would be too stressful as I am on my own. Does anyone own one and if so what are your thoughts or do you have any changes that you would have made in hindsight? Cheers

Have noticed a few Nomads and caravanners upgrading to either Hino or Izuzu light trucks. Being close to my legal capacity I am about to do the same. I have also looked at Iveco but will more likely stick to the Izuzu then Hino. I am towing a large Crusader and will be on the road permanently. Also weighing...
