Caravan park etiquette is probably a bit of a weird topic to be writing about, but when we were travelling around Australia in our camper trailer we mostly ended up down the back of the park or in the unpowered area. So it’s only since we’ve had our caravan that we’ve joined the ranks of …
Are you wondering how you’re going to get your laundry done when you hit the road, and thinking about getting a small washing machine for your caravan? Ahh, laundry. Never stops does it? And especially once you hit the road. I’m sure you end up with a lot more laundry actually… until you realise that it’s …
Ok, well let’s start with the first question you’re probably asking yourself about off-road caravans: What is the difference between an off-road caravan and a ‘normal’ caravan? What makes an off-road caravan any better (or even different) than a normal one? Well, all gimmicks aside… you may be surprised to know that there’s really only …
Back in 2011 Ben and I moved to Christchurch, NZ. The day after we arrived, the 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch. 185 people were killed, and thousands were injured.

The poor guy that asked the question got A LOT of answers but pretty much none of them answered his …
The BIGGEST question that surely, must be on everyone’s mind is, “How are you funding your trip?” and “How on earth am I going to fund MY trip around Australia?” or something like that… but probably with more expletives than this PG rated blog can mention. There are those that are retired and drawing an …
Last year I wrote a (desktop) review of this awesome small RV/motorhome over on my other blog. Well… I use the word ‘review’ lightly, basically it was just me gushing over this Australian made compact motorhome to my mostly American audience. Now that we’ve been on the road and know what kind of travel we’d …
We’ve made Dubbo our home-for-now as we save for a caravan and work on our online businesses. Situated just 5½ hours drive from Sydney, in the central west NSW, it’s the largest town in the Orana region and I love it, cos it’s got everything I need. (Oh, except a beach :-/) We’ve been here …
