We will leave Gold Coast on Xmas Eve and plan to be in Perth for New Year's Eve to celebrate with our friends. My Hubby wants to see the great ocean road but what is...

Planning our first lap and I am not impressed with what I read about Yulara. Want to go there of course and see the rock, but not at all convinced about staying there, even overnight.

After communicating with dunmowin for the past few weeks about travelling in Tasmania we were able to meet face to face. It was great to enjoy a nice 'Happy Hour' with Lorraine and John. One of the great things about this Forum is meeting new people who share the same love of travel that we do.

Just wondered if anyone has done a comparison cost on buying a pop top compared to a full van? The depreciation on one compared to the other. And operational costs on one to the other? cheers

Setting up the drain hoses on the van, the kit included a 25mm connector and a 38mm connector. Not taking too much notice of the maze of pipe work at that stage, I brought the 25mm OK, then went searching for the 38mm, and guess what the only supplier was Jayco. So $75 poorer I went to fit, but before I unwrap...

Has anyone hired one of these or had any experience with them? They look like they might be very hot inside during summer. I'd imagine they get knocked around when hired.
