We have our caravan temporarily stored securely under cover at present for $30 a week. It seems a bit expensive, but we had little choice at the time. How does this compare with charges for caravan storage elsewhere? Outside, or under cover?

All done, we have had out two trips to the G/Coast in one week with every one returned home safe & sound, including our family in NZ. They flew out at 8,30am wed, then had a five hour drive after their flight & we drove home today. Hopefully all will settle down now & return to normality, what e...

The house is nearly complete and we are still in the Bells caravan Park at Clontarf. Scarborough Park is certainly much nicer although the toilet blocks and laundry are very clean. Our next port of call is Coffs Harbour so would love some feed back on the nice camping grounds. We will be there in 10 day...

Gday... Moved onto Miles (QLD) today - rain threatening so I thought I'd sit it out in a van park for today and tomorrow. People had warned me of the Leichardt Hwy between Theodore/Taroom/Miles.

I'm going to be in Bairnsdale for at least a week while I get some issues with my van dealt with. So is anyone around here? I'm at Michell Gardens CP - and a nicer, more helpful CP management team would be hard to find. Jayco have been pretty good to which makes a very pleasant change.
