Don't quite understand the question, Cheryl. Do you mean like bicycles, scooter, 'toad' that you take with you on your travels? We have nothing extra and rarely wish for anything else. Bicycles might be good sometimes, but they need to be kept absolutely dust-proof (otherwise they deteriorate rather rapidly) and that is almost impossible where we go. In some towns and shopping centres a large vehicle is sometimes 'inconvenient' but it is rare that allowing a few more minutes or walking an extra 100m does not solve that problem. The other alternative you might mean, is what you need to have when you get home? We reccon we need something else to get around in while the OKA is getting it's repairs and maintenance. Also, the OKA only seats 2 and we like to go out with the grand-kids when we ar home. We have a little 'buzz-box' car that we only regester 'seasonally' for 3 months per year. When travelling, we put it up on blocks. It has been a dream to own a 'classic' car over 30 years old with appropriate registration. That would probably be a little cheaper and more convenient, but we can't afford to get something like that at this stage. Does this address your question, or did I miss-understand you? Cheers, Peter

yeah, damn good question, we have thought long and hard about this ourselves, bikes are great but if one falls off at our age it will hurt and could be disatstrous, a moped, maybe but see answer previous, just add "more pain" to tow another vehicle just means extra wear and tear on that vehicle, and to tow a trailer or car and get in to shopping areas or sightseeing places would be extremely difficult neverlone the reversing side not saying it cant be done, just sydney peak hour crossing the harbour bridge, took wrong entrance comes to mind, and then the other registration plus roadworthys and maintenence, we honestly dont have the answer, we see every description known to man, a lot of full timers tow a car and park the motorhome in a caravan park and then use the car to do everyday things, great if like them you are going in to a caravan parks also a lot of parks now one cant get a "big rig" into, we wont be doing that, we will be free camping and I dont think we will have any other form of transport, if we cant get the motorhome close to the place of interest we will walk, grab a taxi, use a bus, hire a car, we will try to stock up at a large supermarket (prices are cheaper and parking is usually ok) before we settle for the night, normally the tourist traps have very large carparks these days, or at least the ones that we have visited, a lot of places that we have been in, particularly medium to larger cities now have "caravan and motorhome parking" which is usually close to shopping and chemists, there are also "motorhome friendly town" signs going up everywhere and once again whatever one needs is within walking distance from a motorhome park. we only have trouble in a city, and then I wouldnt call it trouble, just inconvienience because little blue is a little larger than usual she is harder to park, but where we park her a motorhome would fit so I honestly cant see a problem without a second vehicle, I see a lot of problems with a second vehicle
