We have met some really nice people, and a few others besides, and the conversation seems to always...

I think it could be but only if we are honest. Ther were people in the park last night who refused to fill out one as they had filled it out last week before they left home.

We are slowly moving towards heading off on our lifestyle change, due to pick up our Kimberley Kamper in just over 1 week (can't happen soon enough for me!)

Looking over the Census it appears to me that us that are on the road full time are of Non-Status. I could not see the relevance of it to me, & if this is in fact the case, what benefit will there be for me, & those like me, in the future, based on my answers. How will the Govt. plan for my lifestyle, my t...
