I have a 2012 Toyota HiLux and I have been looking at installing a slide on camper on the tray. Looking at the Palamino Slide ons. They look to be good value for the money. Is there any negatives that I should be aware of. I think that I would be looking to buy second hand as my dollars are limited.

My missus is interested in the tiny house movement and I was considering if maybe a motor home or caravan might offer us greater flexibility down the line. After all a house on wheels had less problems...

Hi all, started travelling a few years ago & had looked at your website to pick up ideas to fit the car out. This year did the west half of Aust & north west after a few fine tuning trips around NSW & Southern Coast. Seem to be busier than ever with the luxury of not having to work!

Hello Nomads, We have an old Transit Van made into a campervan in a very amateur method by just using ready made components. For example huge outdoor plastic storage trunks used as bed bases, a ready made set of drawers for kitchen, a plastic laundry trough unit as a sink/laundry trough. With a o...

Hi everybody, Me and my wife are travelling to Spain for a vacation next month. We would love to rent a car for a week, so can anyone tell me do we need to ask for some kind of a permit, or can we just sit in the car and drive with our Australian driving licence? Thanks.
