My vehicle tow limit is 1600kg with a 160kg towball limit so I need to stick to somet...

Soo all going to plan, we should have it next week and our Hawk Outback is now on the mar...

OK, here's a hard one. How do you go about finding some daycare for your much loved pet while travelling and you want to spend a few hours somewhere that you can't take your dog into??
