Our Suncamper Sherwood 4WD motorhome suits us well, we downsized from a larger motorhome to go off road.

Reason, while travelling you could run fridge from van battery instead of tug and the Solar will kee...

Surat proved to be a bit too cold. I thought Queensland was warm in the winter but after scraping ice off the windscreen for three mornings I decided that further north was warranted. I have now reached Nirvana near Proserpine in the dry tropics. A fabulous campground with great shade from the strong...
