We started our Big Lap from Perth on 1st July and ran into a problem on 2nd July. After leaving Billabong Roadhouse after a good o/nighter we came to a detour about 30+ klm up the road. There was a detour which was in horrific condition. We crawled along at 20klm ph dodging around huge potholes and rocks....

I have been advised by the RMS inspectors that the use of a padlock to stop the handle of your caravan from lifting off the tow ball when towing is not acceptable. You must use a quick release device e.g. D-shackle, R-clip or similar.

Is in Townsville out at Ross River Dam. Motorhomes and Grey Nomads everywhere. One busy place is Townsville. School Holidays, V8 Races, and the big boys in their big race boats next week. Phew! You would be lucky to find a spot for even a small tent at the moment. Did I say it was busy

Some of the larger motorhomes require a light rigid license. I am interested to hear from those that have one just how difficult and expensive it is to obtain one of these. I presume there is a driving test; can it be done using the motorhome?
