Looking at purchasing a camper trailer, and would appreciate any pointers/advantages/hazards. Hubby passed away last year so would be just the dog and I. Quite impressed with the Platinum range. Budget around 15 to 20K. Any hints or advice please? Thanks :)

Hi all, as per a previous post where I asked everyone how I was going to fit a fridge out the door that was too large, I decided to tackle the job head on and find out for myself.

Unavoidable. You want your car and van in the Apple Isle, you have to get them and yourselves onboard one of the two big red boats. Having just returned, I have a few observations on the whole experience. We chose to do a day crossing both ways. Being able to see the waves and the occasional passing ship wa...

Hi All. We're new to the Grey Nomads forum, so thanks for having us. We are looking at replacing our current van for an ensuite semi off-road van, without the cafe seat/dinette, but with recliner chairs.

Planning on touring Tasmania late December and January. What would you suggest about needing to book power van sites ? owing to summer holiday period or can you just roll up and get a site. Are there many van parks with ensuites?

last year I decided to join the ranks of the grey water warriors and fitted a 110 litre grey water tank on our van , simplest and most logical spot was at the rear fwd of the ensuite , where most are located due to plumbing on rear ensuites . We have used it a few times but only for a couple of nights. We hadnt em...
