The drive way is long, up hill and we just fit with the ability to park and turn at the top but its tight. We had spent a lovely first night with them and as we...

So one of the big things that I've been researching before I start my road-trip is insurance. I've searched through previous posts on this topic and see that there are very few that refer specifically to campervans.

So I am a pre grey nomad in training and have found even though the "man of the van" purchased nice new blue hose for water we get a vile plastic or rubber taste the kids refuse to drink it.

Hi All We are currently at Ulladulla and looking at an easier drive back to Melbourne on the Hume rather than back along the Princes Hwy.

It doesn't matter how many times I sit down to w...
