My husband and I are still a couple of years away from upgrading our small bus (Nissan Civilian) to a larger size rig (Winnebago or similar) for longer trips but we are seeking feedback on if its worth towing a small 4WD or not?

i would like to thank towns and caravan parks that have been particularly good to grey nomads during COVID-19. We hope to travel to WA from Victoria once the problem is over. any thoughts as to towns/CVPs along that way we could say thanks to and your story of why they should be thanked?

Does anyone know where you can get replacement lenses or led replacements for 225mm square external caravan lights? Mine have yellowed and are so brittle they cracked when I took one off. They would be 10 years old. I have not been able to source them from any caravan store.
