Caliban · Caliban

There are a lot of prices and hidden costs, I do not know about, and in order for me to calculate if this is possible I need to know what costs I am looking at. I have been looking at different types of motorhomes, coaster bus, vans and the rvs. I am leaning towards an rv, simply because it seems to have a bette...

I live in Queensland and I was wondering how much it would roughly be per year to insure a 20ft motorhome. I would be living in it full time and I would want full coverage.
