Club 4X4 Review – Paul and Sue Johnston

We have a 2004 Jayco heritage 18 ft all equipped for camping and the tow rig is a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We average 16 litre per 100 km all up and can’t wait to hitch up and go again.

We have a 2004 Jayco heritage 18 ft all equipped for camping and the tow rig is a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We average 16 litre per 100 km all up and can’t wait to hitch up and go again.

We have had a couple of extensive trips with this rig. 2 months up through central Queensland into the gulf Normanton/Karumba the Savannah way into Mareeba then up to Cooktown. The Palmer river goldfields then the Daintree/Cape Tribulation then worked our way zig zag style back home 2 months 10500 kms. We had a couple of extensive trips through western NSW 4 weeks at a time and the last big one was Tassie 2 months 16500 kms and still did not see it all. Please don’t send applause just send money so we can go sooner!

We have had all our insurances with the one company for a lot of years. We have always rung around to get quotes at renewal time, but always have seemed to be on the best deal going. That was until it was time to reinsure the caravan. We rang club 4×4, got a quote have insured the van for $8500 more with all the benefits and saved myself $230.

Thank you Graeme

Is Touring Getting Too Expensive?

Fuel prices hurt, caravan parks aren't cheap and somehow a roadhouse lunch now needs its own budget. But is touring Australia really becoming unaffordable, or have we convinced ourselves we need more gear than ever before? Josh takes a look at the real cost of hitting the road.

Electric Brake Controllers Explained: Proportional vs Time-Based and How to Choose

Your caravan's brakes do nothing until the tow vehicle tells them to. Here's how an electric brake controller works, why proportional beats time-based, how to set the gain so the trailer stops with you rather than into you, and the check to do before every trip.
