I need to get a life...Van Spotting


Just got back from being away for a month, and just for the hell of it we decided to note down every brand of caravan we seen. So far 78 brands seen, not models, just brands, which sure indicates the Caravan industry is booming in Australia.

 I wonder how many of those 78 brands are still making caravans?

 Dont know, many manufacturers seem to last just a few years, and new ones seem to pop up constantly

 Yes book well ahead atm is wise. We just got back from 1 month away around Victoria. Most Caravan Parks were filled to capacity, and a number not answering calls or text, or/and online bookings were not working

We need to go to Port Lincoln next week and returning over the Easter weekend. We are not looking forward to it because of the crowds, we usually avoid Easter like the plague. We are hoping to stop at free camps on the way there and back, I hope they too won't be full up. Not looking forward to all the traffic on the roads either, but it's the only time we both have free to do what we need to do do I'll just have to 'grin and bare it' at least we have someone to stay with when we get there

Life is too short to be boring.

I tried to use that picture on some photo I.D but for some reason they would not accept it.

We all have bad hair days.
