I hear and read a lot about the amount of folks, young and old, that are out on the road pulling CT, vans and motor homes. Mate is up in Noosa at a PACKED CP and went to Fraser on Wednesday, said the tracks were all torn up with the tour buses making ruts we could not traverse, a couple folks were stuck, one with a CT and then his tour bus (12 bodies) got stuck on the way back to base.
Due to a number of reasons we haven't had the chance to move to 'land cruising' but I'm hesitant to try given my perception of the seemingly dwindling free camps (we would anchor as far away a possible from other boats) and numbers of rigs going up and down by us here in Jervis Bay on the Princess Hwy. Made a few trips to VIC on the Hume and there are a lot of rigs on there too.
I want to free camp or at least camp where I don't have a MH with it's generator going next to me, reminds me of the the powerboat yachts in quite harbors.
Given the well paid for lesson of the two happiest days of a toy's owners life, day bought, day sold, I'm tying to make a reasonable choice to test the waters of seeing more places than we have and experience this possible mass migration ourselves. So is it 30 second tenting with a support trailer (we have two dogs and not all the 'crap' will fit in the 'trol), a campertrailer (a mate of mine who is a marine fabricator has quite a well made one he did)
or small 14-17' trailer that is semi-off road capable? (Gazal, Coromal, Goldstream)
SWMBO has put me on a budget(but she's right, until we know what's best) so I'm not looking at spending $100K for a Kedron more like $10-15K for something used.
