This week we bought a lovely new 20ft Millard with everything I could ask for in creature comforts. We are still working and will be just holidaying in the van for a few more years but have to plan to go from...

For those people who haven't visited Paronella Park before, put it on your list of things to do in FNQ. Fantastic place to spend a day wandering around the grounds, not cheap at $30pp but you get a day and night tour and it even includes a powered site in the adjacent caravan park. It is advisable to book a...

.. Hi all .. Here's a question which, no doubt many have worked their way through. After I sell my house and car, how does one go about buying a motorhome when I no longer have a fixed address to provide. There would be many who simply use an address of their kids or other close associates to fix the problem....

Well, sort of! After two weeks on the road and still just reaching Sydney from Melbourne we have had our second - count 'em - 2nd day with sun in it. After seeing the downpours on the NSW north coast we are thankful we did not head off as originally planned or we would have been in the middle of it. Still thi...
