16 Jan 2012 | Phil Lord embarks on his quest to get rig-ready and on the road for under $10K. Will he succeed? And more importantly, how is he gonna try?
AS FAR AS NEW Years resolutions go, I have a drastic one: I want to set up a vehicle-plus-caravan rig from scratch for under $10,000.
Who am I kidding?
Caravanning is expensive. A new family caravan costs about $45,000 and a new tow vehicle costs about the same. If youre like me, with a young family and a mortgage, youll know how hard this cost is to justify, even if you managed to get the funds together.
So, if you cant afford new, how much is "affordable"?
I agree, the best thing about camping, RVing and Caravanning is that someone with the cheapest rig can have just as much enjoyment as someone with the flashest rig.

exatrie why does it cost so much because people like to keep up to the joneses people just should move back in time and think of the dollar signs and just do what they can afford not O but they got this i want the same or better. i know some mite be saying but you got the best of the best yes we do but we can afford it and its going to be our permanent home. its a bit like young people buying a house now we need 2 cars 3 tvs o and the electronic games for the kids
