I usually camp in the forests so don't see other caravaners often but for the past five days I've camped in the bowling club area in Wentworth, NSW. This is a rectangular sealed area about 150m x 30m so it's fairly easy to manoeuvre a caravan here. What has provided a simple pleasure is watching wives "he...

Except for the feel of new tyres the ride was much the same, pretty firm. this is partly due to having an extra leaf fitted in the rear for towing etc, I have now repl...

In my van I have what is I think called an L shaped seat and table with foam cushions and back. I usually don't use the inside seating unless I am using the computer or eating inside because of the weather.

Hi Folks, I'm thinking of hiring a campervan in Tassie for a week quite soon. The same size as the one in my Avatar. But "she who must be obeyed" is designed for hot climates and will freeze!
