Hi all. First post as we are going through the process of setting up a vsn for a year long trip. Current vehicle is Ford Everest, hoping this will suffice our needs. Any way to my question.

So, we've decided to move into our place on the coast later this year (August, most likely). I finish my current contract at the end of March, and won't be renewing. In the mean time, we are busily packing our stuff, ready for it to be stored between ~April and August. For the time between April-August,...

Many people on this, and other forums, talk about how they have had their vehicle for many 1,000s of Km (some 300,000Km+...

A question for those that have been to the Kimberleys in the dry season, Is it worth taking a portable fire pit with us? We love sitting around the fire, but would we use it very often? I've heard it can get cold at night, but do you need a fire. We are planning on going June, July and August this year. Thanks...
