Camping Around

Life in a Campervan

I grew up listening to my father talk about going around Australia towing a caravan one day. We attended every annual camping show bringing lots of brochures home and I still remember dad taking his time to read each one making notes on the caravans he thought had "potential". Dad never fulfilled his dreams to circumnavigate Australia but it was in 2006 that I decide I would hire a campervan and take dad on his dream holiday of a lifetime.

I still remember telling dad that I was finally ready to accompany him on a caravanning expedition. Expecting that he would be happy beyond belief, I was stunned when he replied "no son, I am too old".

It was at that point that I decided to to get my own van and do all the things my father never got to do before I too was destined to be in the "I'm too old for that now" category.

I have never looked back and the campervan has given me some of the best times of my life. Its taken me to places that few people have gone and in such comfort and security.

My advice is to do it while you still can and enjoy...
