How much stuff can you pack into a 17' caravan and 4x4? We have started to pack for our trip north, we catch the ferry on Tuesday evening. With the amount of gear being carried outside, I am of the opinion that it would be easier to put wheels on the unit. We have to carry winter stuff for the south, summer stu...

The handover from the dealer was non-existant and we have a couple of question we'd like to ask the previous owner.

Since looking for photos for the photo comp, wow how it brings back memories of all the places we have been to and how lucky we are to be able to still do it.I can't wait for us to get on the road again this week. I think the joy of traveling is meeting some of the wonderful charictors we meet on the road
