Some time ago there was discussion on what was the 'average' fee to use a caravan park, with various opinions. This may come as a wake-up for many caravanners?

We are getting back on the road but undecided which way to go. Have you any experience towing a van with the new Pajero sport? We can buy new for about same price as second hand Prado so worth a thought. We are planning to tow about 2.5 tonne.
