Adventure soon to start.
(Preview)
Hi Folks, In October I finally had a chance to do a few trips with my new to me van. Stayed in Albany, Margret River and Dunsborough.

(Preview)
You guys are great and have already given me so much help, but we've run into a snag. My travel agent just emailed me and said the travel insurance I paid for won't cover a "campervan". My travel agent is telling her that it's simply a family-sized van equipped with a bed and a fridge, sink and stove but t...

Buying an ex rental camper van
(Preview)
Hi again. thanks for the interesting replies, so true. What are your thought on buying an ex rental camper van. They say they are well maintained, but they have high mileage, and been driven by some drivers who are not good drivers. I am tempted, but do have some reservations.

Travelling on the road.
(Preview)
Hi Everyone, I thought travelling was to meet people on the road, make friends, share experiences, pass on info about good camp sites and which bad ones to stay away from and generally look forward to catching up with people you have met, just so that you don't have to be alone, all of the time. I have read...

Does anyone else not like the dark hours much (particularly the solo ladies)?. Here I sit in the middle of nowhere - I'm usually always alone in every free camp I go to - I think I'm alone again tonight - so I just lock down and make sure no lights etc can be seen. It doesn't stop me sleeping or anything, but I...
