Has anyone kept examples of caravan rear end name signs, names and funny ones. If i was game enough mine would be Graham and Panadol. Work wanted, good idea or not. One couple i met had to put a sliding sign because they were inundated with work offers while travelling espcially in WA.

Joining Parks VIP memberships
(Preview)
Do you think it advisable to join the various park's memberships? Does the 10% discount really mount up to much? We will also throw in quite a bit of free camp sites to keep costs down. Also which are the best caravanning travel guides to purchase?
