NSW on a Campervan

[yen2007]

Hi Touchme,

do you have the interior picture for the 4 berth motorhome? The one that you booked, is it with or without toilet/shower?

check.pics at autosleepers.com.au for their 4-berths
For 4, go for their more spacious pickup one, not the Hiace van.
Think shd hv other models without showers/toilets

after a year ... finally saw this thread up again.

anyway i just came back fr a roadtrip round TW.
was there for 21days.
suppose to go round island, end up didnt manage to cover the eastern side due to the earthq

feel the earthq at tainan while having coffee in a old run down cafe - narrow door cafe.
at 1st still tot is due to the old structure, and ppl r climbing up the stair tat cause the shake.

Mid-may, scooted to Sydney on $370 tiks, no luggage, A$20, 8km and 15 mins cab to Apollo camper depot to pick up A$30/day Hi-top campervan:

apollocampers.com.au or britz.com.au,
Singapore Class 3 can drive campervans and RVs.

Done car-Camping in Darwin/Perth/Europe/NZ/US/Melbourne/Tasmania, from stationwagon, 4-wheel pop-tops to 2/3 berths van to 6 berths trucks with shower/toilet ensuite. the Hi-top is the most efficient camper, accommodating up to 4 pax (thou specs is 3 only), and suitable, knowing there are good amenities for holiday parks. public toilets, beach with free showers, rivers with pristine/clean waters, so there is no need and a chore to carry your showeroom/toilet with you..
A camper ensuite would be truck-sized. A hassle when making u-turns/reverse (very often), noisy and gas-gustlling, rental above A$70 upwards.

A lot more info and personal tips of campervans to provide on request.

Day 1:

Chcked out camervan, headed to Sydney Mkts, dinner at Paddys’ pub/jackpot/gamehouse, then to Woolworths to stock up on nearly $200 on groceries (wife’s a chef), settled the night, parked by city river on public park for the nite. 20+24kg kids on top deck, adults below.

Pics to follow:


Day2 (Sunday): Headed to Scone (200km north of Sydney). for Annual Horse Fest. Into Hunter Valley vineyards, and bought a few bottles. Caught up with a 60-cars coal train, a treat for the boys, in between. Cooked lunch at "Who'd Have Thought of it' Hill Lookout, with a solo koala up a tree. Was late for horse fest. Campover at Burning Mountains, with 1 other old couple caravan, abt 5C temperature. No firewood nearby, and share theirs over tea and wine.

Day 3: Next day, woke up to realise the engine running heater overnight, consume 1/4 tank, leaving tank below 'E'. Luckily caught a small town within 20km along New England HW, and headed to Tia Falls and Tiara Walk in the Oxley Wild River NP (night).

So fun!
I'm also mulling to do a campervan trip in Australia.
So Singapore Class 3 Driver License can drive even those big camper van like Euro Deluxe 6/6 Berth? I'm a bit worried about the unladen weight, especially in the unfortunate situation of an accident etc. Have you checked with the car rental companies/transport department?

yes, our class 3 drives up to 7-berth trucks in Australia and Europe done, not tried US.
