Is a big van necessary ?
(Preview)
On our 6th van now and it has finally sunk in that we spend most of the time outside the van so lugging a big unit around didn't seem right for us. But then everyone is different and so long as you are enjoying it. The little Jayco Starcraft suits us and the annex gives us extra room as required. Enjoy your tr...

Our first ever motorhome! 1992 ISUZU/Winnebago We bought it last year. Very comfortable inside but slow as treacle on the hills. We are lucky if we travel at 95kph on the flats. But love camping in national parks and touring around. It is fully self contained with inverter and 340 watts of solar. Just s...

Has anyone seen this Motorhome?
(Preview)
I was wondering whether my old motorhome "NFPA" (No Fixed Place of Abode) is still on the road, or maybe still being lived in, but parked up. We traveled some of WA, NT and QLD in her in the late 90's before selling her in Cairns. She was based on a D Series Ford truck, and had a 300cid inline 6 petr...

I love to see all those new vans that you put onto here and yet they can still enjoy caravanning without all the thrills and whistles perhaps many of us like myself and my wife Glenda still enjoy being part of the grey nomad scene with our old vintage vans. I for one pull an old 1979 Viscount that is in near...
