Hi, My son is looking at buying a Volkswagen Caravelle, but found out that its repairable write off. The owner bought in South Australia, and is selling it in Queensland. Does anyone have any suggestions ... as it appears to be a bargain price.

Hi everyone. We are new to this nomadic life and thoroughly loving it, but someone has just told us that you are only allowed to stay in a state for a maximum of three months and then you have to register your vehicle and caravan with that state. Can you please clarify this situation Cheers Ken and Kaz
