So far I have a camp stretcher and mattress, small stove and cooking utensils and plastic boxes for clothes. I will use an esky to keep food cool and a plastic bucket for loo emergencies.

good morning everyone in grey nomad land. I have a question. Strop and I have put up our awning for the first time. It looks great but we are wondering does it still need to be tied down at each corner or is it ok as is?

Hi out there It will be a few days to come before we finally hit the road, but we are already planning the big change in lifestyle.

While I have only joined a month or so ago I notice that the American term of 'rig' for a caravan is used - such as on the front page of the web site.
