Hi Gromads I'm no stranger to the road but haven't done a lot for a decade and and a half except a trip from Brisbane to Tassie in a camper trailer. Because of that trip we decided to upgrade to a caravan and do more longer trips. See you all out there.

Yet another newbie

This is a whole new experience for us. We are in the process of searching for a RV and it is a minefield out there. We have an opportunity to buy a Coromal F Series 615 off roader, but cannot find any information on the net anywhere. It's a 2012 model only travelled 12,000k's. Any thoughts out there.
