Does anyone know what type of RV 's are allowed to stay in these parks? Are they only for motorhomes or are you allowed if you have a portable toilet and a means of collecting your grey water? Has anyone stayed in them recently? Cheers Chris and Peter

Hi ... A friend was preparing his vehicle in readiness for hooking up a new caravan. Much to his horror he found cracks on both chassis rails of his Navara King Cab Ute.
