Law of the Garbage Truck One day a man hopped into a taxi and they took off for the airport.

I looked at a Toyota Hi Ace Sunliner today at Morley Ford. Has absolutely everything in it. Would just have to throw my clothes in and go.

I have been looking for a motorhome for some time now. Was wondering if any one has one of the KEA ex rental ones. They appear to be a good deal and have everything I need. What are the things I need to look out for? All advice or experiences would be much appreciated. Thanks.
