I am always amazed when I hear women say "My husband does all the towing" or "He won't let me drive with the caravan on". Or men say "My wife can't manage it" Do you share the towing? How does it work in your travels?

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...
