We have travelled with a tent since our kids were little,now 20 ,17,15.
We generraly travel light with everything we need inside the vehicle no roof rack no trailer no CT,it always amazes us how these people who are supposed to be getting away from it all take it with them.
We dont stay in caravan parks,Get the CAMPS book and youll find some good stops.
The money you save on fuel and caravan parks you can lashout and stay somewhere nice that you will remember forever.
We have an" Entertainment book ,
check the website,with discount vouchers at hotels thats pretty handy.
We have always had great trips and the kids have been to every state in Australia.We usually find Fuel is the biggest exspence.
We have a freedom family tourer which is 20 years old and its still very good ,easy to put up,10 min Max,plenty of room and solid as a
rock, they may be a bit exspensive at the start but it will be the only tent youll ever buy.
Dont buy take away ,make your own meals.
Dont give the kids lollies or softdrink in the car as their energy levels go throught the roof and the journey can be very uncomfortable.
make sure they drink enough water as their fluid will disappear much quicker than in victoria.
Brush up on your
first aid.
Its very rewarding.
