I have a question for the more seasoned travellers out there. I am touring Tasmania for 7 weeks in my R.V. Today during very bad wind and rain, my 3x3 gazebo was torn out the ground and tumbled into another bay behind and below me. The two people in the hired camper van helped me return it to my bay, whic...
