RV FEATURE
“ Pack within your limits , start with essentials like food , water , gas for cooking , clothes , bedding , first aid , medicines and toiletries ,” Glen said .
When it comes to food , Glen said that planning ahead would help you sort out how much food and water you would need to carry on each leg of your journey .
FIRST AID AND STAYING SAFE
When it comes to the question of staying safe and well , give serious consideration to doing a first aid course prior to setting off , give family and friends your itinerary , pack some recovery gear to help you out if you get stuck , or if you need to help a fellow traveller .
CAPABLE CARAVAN
If you plan to head into a remote / offroad area , you ’ ll need a caravan that ’ s up to the task . It should come as no surprise that Glen recommends Kedron – and yes , they have a great reputation .
The point , though , is that you have to have confidence in your equipment . So it ’ s essential your van is built to suit the intended conditions . This includes the quality of the suspension , the strength of the chassis , framing , roof , etc .
Additionally , it ’ s useful to know to what extent the manufacturer has tested their own product . In the case of Kedron , there have been decades of extreme testing , including lab and field tests – the proof is in their many Gall Boys DVDs .
