I know you can pay people to drive your caravan from A to B, but I'm wondering if people ever do it for free - as a trip? Given plenty of time and use of the caravan would it be an attractive proposition? Lets say 2-3 weeks Perth to Melbourne (or whatever). I'm looking at a caravan in Perth (to buy). I'm in Tass...

Gday In a recent thread, and from time to time, it has been raised that consideration should be given to legislating or mandating the "rule" that the tow vehicle should be heavier than the caravan being towed. There have been a range of ideas on what that difference should be ranging from caravan being...
