Hey!
Countdown is on... Christmas is just around the corner! I did a poll in our Facebook group about who loves camping over the Christmas period, and most of you agree with me - way too busy!
For us, it's the time to stay home, do boring odd-jobs, catch up on things and plan the next adventure!
Having said that, I love the idea of camping anytime! But, when given the option, Christmas is just too busy!

For us, Yorke Peninsula is a fav. We spend lots of time there, and right now the splash park is open. If you're around South Australia - head to Moonta! Here is a rundown on a few blogs you might be interested in:

How to Get Your Car Ready to Tow
Caravanning isn't just about the caravan- your vehicle needs to be up for the task. Tim has written a great guide on getting your car ready to tow.
From choosing the right heavy-duty tow bar and brake controllers to the often-overlooked details like suspension airbags (to stop that rear sag) and towing mirrors that actually help you see. If you're prepping for a lap or just a weekend away, check this out.

Why I Switched to NordVPN
We talk a lot about physical safety on the road, but digital safety is just as huge—especially when you're logging into bank accounts on public campground Wi-Fi. For those of you who don't know, I also teach how to freelance online, so this is great for online work also.
I’ve recently switched to NordVPN and wanted to share why. Aside from keeping your data secure from hackers, it’s a game-changer for streaming.
You can trick your device into thinking you're in the US to access different Netflix libraries or watch sports that aren't available locally. It’s faster, more secure, and gives us peace of mind while working on the road.

Upcoming Boxing Day Sales!
It’s that time of year—Boxing Day sales are just around the corner! (yes, really!) If you can hold off on buying new gear for a few more days, it’s the smartest way to save some $ on big-ticket items.
Our friends at Caravan RV Camping are gearing up for massive discounts on fridges, air conditioners, and electrical gear.
Put these dates for the sale in your calendar: 26/12/25 to 1/1/25

A Quick Update on our App
The travel app that helps with everything is on the way!
Here's a sneak peek:
It will be available on the Play Store in around 6-8 weeks time all going well! It will be free for everyone, and I'll try to keep zero ads.
I'm always after feedback, so feel free to reply to this email or jump into our Facebook Australia Caravan RV Trip Planning and let me know the features you would love in an app.
So far:
It will help with:
- travel (air travel, accommodation planning, experiences)
- Caravan itinerary planning - distances between towns, campsites, and experiences to be planned
- Pre-departure checklists with reminders for both air travel and caravan travel
- Important info like rego, expiries, etc, with reminders
- School holiday date reminders
All to help make packing up and planning as simple as possible - and you'll be able to share with the other adult in your family (or solo mission) in a gamified way.
Also, I'm looking for as many Beta testers as possible. All you'll need to do is download the app, have a play and let me know what you think. You'll be able to help me shape the app into the easiest to use app around :)
PS I'm also on the hunt for a name. Would love some ideas! :)
Have a wonderful week, safe travels, and remember to say yes to adventure!
Margie and Tim :)
