OK, might sound a bit wacky. Just a thought. We can't really take months off work at this stage, but 2-3 weeks is manageable. If I wanted to drive from Sydney to Perth for example, but come back on the train. Is that doable? Or a mad idea? For a Sprinter size campervan (not motor home) Just found a random s...

Curious to know what tow vehicle make/mode/year (likely 2nd hand no doubt) would people go for to tow a 2800-3500kg caravan, but with a good amount of payload left for the vehicle (after GVM/GCM/Towball etc calcs). Assuming budget of $50k-$80k. Landcruiser 200 series holding their value well, so...

Well, for those who want fast internet at home and on the road anyway. Very small size, very easy setup, fast log-on and way better speeds that I get either at home or via the phone on the road.
