Pam & Alan have now been travelling Australia for almost 2 years in their home/office 21’Caravan and Ford Ranger. We ask them some questions –
We hit the road nearly two years ago now, with our two existing camp chairs, both Spinnifex non padded high backed adjustable chairs. Fine for occasional camping and sitting around the camp fire with your feet up on a milk crate, but after two years of use, working full time on the road we were developing “numb bum” syndrome.
Living full-time on the road in our 21ft caravan we value our eco-friendly DreamPot. It’s easy to use, efficient and always delivers a hot meal after a long day on the road. DreamPot is thermal cooking, a portable, easy-to-use, cooking appliance which uses only a fraction of the power or heating source to achieve magnificent meals anywhere or anytime. DreamPot is an Australian family operated company which has made meals for travelers much better since 1964. Here is one of our favorite recipes

Your good old drinking water food grade hose is more important than you actually realise. In our case, living, working and travelling Australia full time in our caravan, the hose gets coiled up, placed in it’s bag and rattles along on the caravan A Frame when travelling. Then at the next site, it’s thrown out onto the ground, clicked onto whatever size tap is provided and that’s it. We just take it for granted and expect it to perform faultlessly. Until one day ....
