Although we have had a caravan for 12 years, we have never driven any distance on dirt roads. What is the best way to keep the inside of our van and 4WD as dust free as possible? Thank you in anticipation.

Hi all, I could use some advise regarding the looming t c heading towards Townsville. Should we go inland towards Charters towers or stay put risking damage to our caravan or go north. Any local knowledge would be great. Thanks in advance.

Being a hobbit it is high enough to get it onto the bars let alone having to get it over a greater height. Also with what have you found the best to tie them down. Kim
