Hi Everyone, hubby & I love to travel & have been doing so for years with our kids, now the kids have left the nest & we're retired, hopefully we can start traveling more & visit places we haven't been. First step is to sell our 2008 Olympic Champion 18' so we can purchase a van with shower & toilet, rather than having to put up our shower tent all the time, we love free camping as on a strict budget. Looking forward to seeing lots of you on our travels.

G'day cat woman welcome to the forum we hope you enjoy your time with us and out in the big playground.
An ensuite van makes a great difference like you we travelled each year with our children in a van and now retired with much larger van with ensuite and we think it's great.

Thank you, sorry I haven't answered before now, have been busy & not been to this forum since I joined last year.

Haven't sold our old van yet as couldn't work out what van to buy! Have chosen Kokoda Force 111 X Trail, just trying to decide what suspension to get, we are torn between Alko Enduro Outback, Cruisemaster XT or the Dealer is saying Tuffride by Roo Chassis & trailers?  does anyone know anything about any of these suspensions, good or bad reports??
