Once we had sold our investment property, and our dream of travelling the country was becoming real, we had to then decide on what rig we would need. Swags and a tent were ruled out right away. We had a wish list: John wanted a comfortable bed and I insisted on an ensuite.
We did a lot of research – looked at various new and used caravans, watched YouTube videos and went to the Caravan and Camping Show. We narrowed our list down and decided that the new hybrid caravans would be perfect for what we wanted. Although we are not planning to do any serious four wheel driving, we do want to have the option to go off-road if we choose. So, our rig of choice is an Emu Expedition Hybrid Camper which is a combination of a camper and a caravan, with a queen size bed, drawers, sink and ensuite inside, and the kitchen and fridge outside. We love to cook outside so this is, we hope, a perfect solution.
As we were packing up our house, we slept in the caravan in the driveway for a couple of weeks before heading off! It gave us a chance to see how everything works, and we loved sleeping there because the bed is so comfortable!
