Hello everyone. Hubby & I are wanting to travel from Brisbane to north Qld at the end of April. I've heard that there are companies that will allow you to drive a hire car from one city to another for $1 - $5 per day plus reimbursement for petrol expenses. Anyone know something? Ellimay

HI All, I read with dismay in the latest edition of GN Times that a W.A. Caravan Park operator has actively (and successfully) lobbied local council to have an overnight stop at Memorial Road north of Albany shut down. It is interesting that there was also support of 40 local businesses to the local Ca...

A week or so else where in this forum several people commented on 'feral' kids running wild through caravan parks, in particular showing no regard for privacies of caravan sites. Some 15 or so years ago my daughter was an active horse lover and took her horse to different meets around the country. At so...

I am looking at buying a new Jayco motorhome. I am wondering which state has the best value in regard to the standard on road charges. Stamp duty, rego etc? and then the ongoing annual costs, green slip, rego etc? I live in Sydney, but only in rented accomodation, so i dont need to register it here.

I am new to motorhoming but have travelled extensively across this country with a 4wd and caravan/camper trailer. However, I am looking to buy a motorhome to live in permanently and notice that most of the motorhomes are either powered by Fiat, Mercedes Benz or Iveco engines. Probably opening a can o...

Are there actually any motorhome magazines? Checked out a couple of newsagents and neither had any. Plenty of caravan mags but nothing devoted to motorhomes. Am I just unlucky or can anyone suggest a favorite magazine? Wayne

It is amazing what value for money we got years ago. Imagine a current manufacturer offering options to eliminate their inadequacies with their vehicles when it comes to towing.
