Twelve months ago I sold my comfortable but fairly large mortgage home and bought " The Dream". A beautiful 18'6" caravan and a 200 series Landcruiser. A knee replacement delayed my new life by 12 months ( I could not rent anything for under 12 months). Now the new life WAS to begin. I sent myself up to st...

I am probably looking for reassurance. Twelve months ago I sold my home in view of purchasing a van and tow vehicle to live life on the road. I bought the van, the vehicle but health issues delayed my new lifestyle. Unfortunately I had to rent for 12 months. That time is nearly here and I am feeling EXTREME...

What to do with car keys when swimming
(Preview)
I'm wondering what solo travellers do with electronic car keys when swimming. I'm fine with leaving my keys with my towel at the pool, but I did not go swimming at Ellery Creek (outside of Alice) which was a shame. I've not been solo on a coastal trip yet but when I do I will definitely want to go swimming....

Awning to difficult to put up solo
(Preview)
I bought a 2x2mt awning for my car after my first solo trip to give, but I find it to awkward to put up and take down on my own. So I've only used it on the odd occasion I have company. The hardest part is trying to roll it back up it's just to heavy. Any suggestions Cheers Lucy
