Have bought a house in Smithton, Tassie and will take possession of it on 5 Feb. 2016. Will have to contact a removalist to arrange transport of stuff across. Anyone have any recommendations on moving companies so I don't make a mistake and pick the wrong company ? ..... Val

The way this site is set up I would have thought a forum for Caravan Chat would make more sense, and the General Forum for all sorts of s...
