I'm brand new to the Forum, an Aussified Kiwi who would have preferred to buy a decent sized Yatch but pragmatically know that would no longer be the sensible move due to age and the need for a crew. I'm eyeing either a Motorhome or a fifth wheel setup and keen on hearing other's points of view on this. I'd...

It was easy to tow, but was dreadful to sleep in when it was windy. Did the Simpson in this. Sold this and bought a T-Van. Another exce...
