We are tar dwellers driving our Hyundai i30 CRDI diesel (2008) manual. We'll tow our 600kg (loaded) 450kg tare home made van built for the purpose. We leave in two weektime. house sitter etc sorted.
We know we get around 9.5 L/100kms towing the van, 5.5 without. This is using 4th gear but a tailwind or downhill 5th should be ok. 5th gear I'm told isn't a full overdrive gear so I think it is ok to tow with it- any thoughts?

We have booked for caravan parks in Darwin and Broome but beyond that free camping will be the norm with particular attention to the south west WA corner and the SA peninsulas.

We have toilet/shower, 88 litres water, etc.
