Hi there, looking at buying or first caravan to go touring in for 3 months at a time. Current choice is an Opal 19ft 6inch van with rear entry.

A van came in to the park late last night 8/8.30pm, set up, then off they went this morning. It is now approx. 4 hours later and their little dog is tied up - admittedly with food and water, but is having a winey bark every so often - surely people who have pets with them should look after them properly!! I kn...

I am about to organise a tour of Victoria. I have 8 weeks to spend touring and I just don't want to travel the highways. Is this too much time - not enough. If too long I thought of crossing the border to SA.

On our last trip a couple of weeks ago I was on a site with a slight sideways slope although it was not enough to stop the fridge from working well. Anyway, that got me thinking that a levelling ramp would be useful to have. So on our return I checked various sellers for a levelling ramp. However, I have a sin...

Lithgow cp will store your rig for $55pw. Left mine there for 2 weeks and took the train to Sydney airport. Train was $13.50 concession and a very pleasant 2 & half hour trip. Not too hot here either so the van didn't get baked being shut for so long.
