Travel in recreational vehicles such as campers, trailers or trailers, giving people freedom to camp in comfort and explore in nature. Studies show that 96% of campers are happier and less stressed. You also need to consider some factors before preparing your own travel adventure equipment. What are they? Let's hear the following story!
Dave Smith (Dave Smith) grew up traveling with his family in the 1960s. After retiring as a painter, Dave and his wife, Alan Ellen, started a radical nomadic lifestyle. The first equipment he bought was a camping trailer.
Dave said, "it's an experience. Obviously, the weather was hot and dry, and there was no air conditioning and no comfortable amenities, so you spent the night in hot weather basically. "
Soon Dave and Allen realized that they needed bigger gear. Eventually, they were equipped with a camping trailer with more comfort facilities. They stayed in the trailer for three days of hurricane Debbie, with 800mm of rain, without leaks or any other problems.
"on this travel trailer, we have everything we need. Solar, bathroom, toilet, shower, washing machine are all available, it is only 22 feet about 6.7 meters long, the price is also in line with our budget. Now, we have a satellite TV, a complete additional awning. There's a lot of different equipment out there for us to live in hot weather or rain. "
Dave and Allen decided that they would spend their retirement on the road as long as age and ability allowed. The painter had years of exposure to toxic asbestos, and he needed to spend more time in nature.
"We just set ourselves a way of life so that we can come and go freely when we want to do what we want to do. If we're unhappy somewhere, we sort out our small travel trailers and cars and move to other places. What we want is freedom. "
In the year to March 2017, nearly half of the trailers and campers in Australia were over 55 years of age.
Jason Plant, from Caravanning Queensland, said, "you can equip camping trailers with motorized mobile devices, easier to manipulate and safer devices, such as camping trailer mobile devices and power support wheels, so that when you get to your destination, You can separate camping trailers from mobile equipment or power support wheels, and then move the camping trailer to an ideal location. More and more people are starting to install outdoor kitchens, a kitchen that slides out of a storage room below a camping trailer, equipped with sinks and gas stoves. "
Safety is the primary consideration, especially for those who travel alone. But not everyone needs a super RV. Christopher Whitton, from Wallaby Motorhomes, says brands, comfort and building quality are the most important. Solar energy is necessary. "Solar gives people the opportunity to leave the grid for a long time so that they can camp for free or not necessarily be tied up in car parks. Let them have more opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities without having to worry about the power supply. "
Dave suggests equipping the RV with what you need, not what you want.
"now, the biggest problem for people using camping trailers is that they want to put everything in it. They want coffee machines and air conditioners, and some want spas, bathtubs and dishwashers. All this, then, is quite a load, and many modern cars that can pull these things are much lighter than camping trailers. The first thing my family and grandfather taught me is that because driving a car is the key to controlling everything on your way to travel, you get in trouble when your car is lighter than a camping trailer. "
Dave said that with huge things like camping trailers on the road, travelers need to adapt to a lot of things. Maximize the weight of the drag to make travel safer.
"people who don't have the experience of towing camping trailers need to pay special attention. At present, after the hurricane has not had time to repair, some of the roads in North Queensland are very poor, so driving on these roads, you will be highly focused and tired. "
Christopher Wheaton (Christopher Whitton) said that at the end of the day, leisure vehicles were only used as hotel rooms on wheels.
"the truth is, when you get to a place where you have a place to sleep, you can use a toilet or shower, that's basically why you need a camping trailer. You own a RV not to live in it, but to drive it to nature to the outside world. You should play outside, not live in it. "
The number of international tourists traveling in camping trailers and camping vacations rose 7.5 percent last year, according to figures from the Australian Tourism Research Institute. Middle-class tourists from China grew by an astonishing 112%.
Wheaton says many of his customers are locals from multicultural backgrounds who have done a lot of work and are ready to enjoy a more relaxed retirement lifestyle.
"camping trailers and RV trips have been around for more than 80 years, and in those days there were gypsies touring and drifting around. I think you'll be free when you don't have to report or report to anyone. Go out, aimlessly, go with the heart. What an exciting part it is, I think, that this yearning for freedom is rooted in everyone's blood. "
