Checked late last night after posting with some dates and to see what we could be up for - you're correct - it doesn't cost any more than a car! It's a caravan that will hurt you. I thought the height might be an issue but it appears not! [bigsmile1]Quote:

If the choice was between B class motorhome and 4wd/camping to see Tas, bring the motorhome - the choice of overnight spots at carparks, trail heads, turnouts etc will be greater. If you like solitary camps of course.
Cheers
Thanks - yes, we’d like to free camp as much as possible, motorhome is fully self contained including grey water storage. Probably only look for a caravan park a couple of times for washing clothes and having a longer shower. [emoji106]
I’ve heard Tas is much more friendly to free camping than Vic for example - I’m assuming if you aren’t allowed to camp somewhere they’ll be signs? Generally we like to be as far from others as possible but the motorhome may make things a little harder as it’s not as compact as my other camping options. (but far more comfortable) [emoji16]
Hi, size, style?
Cheers
It's this type - Gav built. [biggrin]

Went to Tasmania couple of years back , everyone said we would only need a week , BULL we didn't even scratch the surface of 1/4 of it in two weeks . There is so much to see , we would have only have seen a tenth if that of the 1/4 we travelled . Love that place , hope to get back some time .
Well, in that case nothing should fall off.....[bigrolf]Quote:
