Buying an ex rental camper van
(Preview)
Hi again. thanks for the interesting replies, so true. What are your thought on buying an ex rental camper van. They say they are well maintained, but they have high mileage, and been driven by some drivers who are not good drivers. I am tempted, but do have some reservations.

Travelling on the road.
(Preview)
Hi Everyone, I thought travelling was to meet people on the road, make friends, share experiences, pass on info about good camp sites and which bad ones to stay away from and generally look forward to catching up with people you have met, just so that you don't have to be alone, all of the time. I have read...

Does anyone else not like the dark hours much (particularly the solo ladies)?. Here I sit in the middle of nowhere - I'm usually always alone in every free camp I go to - I think I'm alone again tonight - so I just lock down and make sure no lights etc can be seen. It doesn't stop me sleeping or anything, but I...

Got a pooch, got an appointment...

Evening all,
I've been mulling things over and was just wondering how you manage if you are traveling solo with pooches, but have a Drs appointment (or even need to spend time at a shopping centre).
I will be traveling solo with my two fluffy mutts and just wondering how that is going to work... :\
