Just noticed that I was only registered user online and there were 14 guests so I looked at the list of users and there were 9 from USA. USA Guests why don't you register and then you can contribute to the forum. it would be interesting to do comparisons between Aus and USA way of doing things.

I am looking to purchase my 1st caravan and the two dealers in my area sell Galaxy and Windsor Caravans. To me they both look to be quite nice and reasonably priced vans, does anyone own one of these and if so, are you happy with it? Thanking you in advance. Ray.
