I've been having the Caravan versus Motorhome debate in my head for some time. Just when I decide to go one way something pops up that sways me the other way.

When is a track a 4WD track, and when isnt it? The Bloomfield Track is an example, its supposed to be a 4WD and has a steep 1 in 3 grade and some rough water crossings, yet we saw 2WD vehicles coming over it. The Gibb River Road is rated 2WD, yet it can be rough and the water crossings vary in depth and difficult...

Can anyone recommend a lightweight caravan around 20ft that can be towed by a Toyota Kluger with 2000kg towing capacity. Would prefer ensuite. I can spend approximately $50K.

You'll be pleased to know the NBN Satellite 25 MBPS service is not usable by us - they will only hook up to fixed premises on their EXISTING PREMISES list. Funny how the satellite provider (ViaSat) has a retail outfit in the USA (Exede) that give unlimited fast internet for 39$ a month to US customers. F...
