I need some pointers from the Caravan experts please.
On our trips we use a Utility Slide on Camper on our F250. Very happy with it and I accept the advantages and compromises.
However we are considering building a new
home elsewhere on our property in the
Mission Beach FNQ hinterland. So we want to
check out 3 to 4 of the potential sites by living at each one for a few weeks or a month or two . Hopefully that way we we'll find out the good points and any problems with each of the locations
Which got me thinking about a van, comforts of
home etc, etc The idea being that we use it for this exercise and then re-sell it later.
There are just my wife and I however we do work from
home as
well as running the
farm here so we do need a bit of space. Reticulated Water will be at each location but not mains power. I have a 5kva Dunlite genset but would only run this as a backup/recharge as it it noisy as hell We are in the wet tropics here (over 4 meters of rain PA) so need to keep this in mind also, pop tops and similar are out.
The actual purchase budget (would like to keep it under 25K if possible) is not so much the issue more important is not loosing too much on resale.
So the question is what do I look at. What size, What make. What are the must haves. What can I do without. What will I get for my money?
Guess the other question is: Is there another option other than a van?
I'm grateful for any and all advice.
Cheers
Chris
