G'day everyone, I have just read the post by Gerty Dancer (what time do you leave each day) and it reminded me of some very valuable advice given by the Shepparton safe driving complex for vanners.

What time do you leave camp in the morning?
(

)
(Preview)
We were woken in caravan parks by people packing up before daylight on the last 2 mornings. Maybe they have to drive long distances. Well we are on holidays so we get up around 7 and go when we are ready, not usually driving more than 300k's a day. What sort of timetable do other Grey Nomads keep?
