I just wondering if there are any permanent Grey Nomads on here who have sold up completely and spend all their time on the road? And do they have any regrets? Some of you may have children so will always have a bolthole to return to, but what about those who don't? I am only 52 and along with my partner who is...

Hi all, we are just wondering if anyone out there can tell us if we are able to tow a single axle trailer behind a Hino Rainbow Motorhome.

Can you stop at these for a shower and rest? Maybe even a nights sleep? While driving the truck I sometimes refuel at large BP servos and see plenty of trailers parked up waiting for a prime mover to hitch up and take it away. If it's ok for a long haul driver to use the facilities why not a caravan GN? Mos...
