I am hiring a motorhome for 32 days in July / Aug. for a trip from Cairns to Melbourne. I have been quoted $1440 for "Liability Reduction Option" which seems exorbitant?? Is there a way I can avoid / reduce costs involved in having adequate insurance cover for our trip please? Thanks for any help.

I have seen the kayak loaders which seem a likely possibility but was wondering if anyone has d...

Hi, we have an ensuite van and do not use for No 2s. If we go free camping, our aim when we retire, what type if toilet tent is best? Pop up? Slightly heavier one with poles. Also outside toilet seat, the ones weve seen so far look to be rather on the small side. What do people use? Recommend?
