      @@headsortailsmotorhometravels77 hi guys, i have a question im from QLD thinking of buying a small motor home and living in it full time, not to explore australia just to live in it full time and park it in a different suburb every night, if you do that, and live in your motor home full time, what address do you give when you register your motor home, what address do you give for your drivers licence and any bills you have to pay? no one had told me how to do this yet, do you get a PO box for your bills? or just use your old home address and pretend you still live there, because you cant just THE PARK can you when you renew your drivers licence or when you take your van in to be serviced, they wanna know your details

      @petejames1326 hi Pete, we have a PO box for bills or change most of your bills over to online. I have read similar questions on a few travel Facebook pages. For the agencies that require a physical address like drivers licence, people have suggested to use a family member or friends address. Hope that helps.

    Just found your channel and subscribed straight away. My wife and I are nearly at the stage where you are now. Still another 5 years before I finish work, so will eagerly follow your channel and learn from your experience. I got one thing right from my first viewing of your channel when I thought..."These guys are going to want a bigger van for sure" I am a miner and do a lot of prospecting during the winter time(no flies or snakes) so working out what type of motorhome we would like is an interesting journey. We will follow along and learn from your own experience good luck to you cheers

      Hi, so glad you found our channel. Hope we can provide you with some ideas and places that you might like to travel to in you MH, when you decide on what you are going to get. Funny, you were spot on with the needing a bigger MH. We pretty much knew after the first trip away, especially as we were living in the MH and planned to do so for a year or two. We love the space of the new one, just more room to move about and you really don't feel like you need to step over each other. Thanks for the message.

    After renting a few motorhomes, I find that rear wheel drive is compulsory, also the renault gear box strange when taking off and staying at low speeds. It seems to grab and let go in first gear, without a change in throttle response, making it unpredictable sometimes. Also jayco motorhomes don't seem to carry much water, so going off grid for more than 2 nights impossible

    I did a YT search for Horizon motorhomes and you popped up. I have also considered the same MH you bought but even though I love it I'm not sure I need so much space as a solo traveller plus accessibility to town parking and camping spots. I note you mentioned perhaps having a bit bigger MH may have been better for the two of you. How are you finding it now you've been on the road a bit longer? Also, not having a camping background, nor a fisher/4WD-er, I'm looking forward to seeing what your travels bring!
