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. Feel a lot more confident towing the rig and parking up and getting organised. I hope to travel again early May. I think I have decided to head to South Australia. Exactly...

I am thinking of selling my house and travelling indefinitely. Don't want the responsibility of paying off a mortgage and working till I die. How brave do you have to be? Is there anyone out there with any encouraging comments. Wonder too if there are any love stories out there for the lone traveler...

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...

I'm in my early sixties (single) and thinking of buying an off-road caravan (already own a 4WD) and spending most (all?) of the balance of my life on the road. Some questions for those of you who have taken this path:What mistakes did you make?What has disappointed you about the experience?What sig...

Do any of you wonderful people have a wind deflector on your car roof? Is, do they actually work and save on fuel? Waiting with baited breath. Cheers Kaz and Ken

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.

Hi. I am a newbie to the forum, but have been reading the newsletter for ages. I am a retired lady, living in NZ (that small country across the ditch) and want to see more of Australia.

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...
