Lionel Mussell's book - Australia Calling the RV travel handbook covers all types of Recreational Vehicle experiences.

In this down-to-earth presentation Lionel Mussell has produced the ultimate Recreational Vehicle travel handbook. 

Illustrated in full colour, this book is for anyone who is thinking about doing an Australian caravan trip, either with a caravan, motorhome or camp trailer.

From advice on choosing the right RV, planning and budgeting, checklists and packing, Lionel goes on to discuss life on the road including how far to travel each day, where to stay overnight, bush camping, TV reception, travel with pets, communications, emergencies, and a thousand Out There other topics.

Finally, Lionel takes the reader on a trip around the country, complete with route notes, dropping in at some of his favourite places along the way.

Written in a similar engaging style to his ABC of Caravanning and The BIG ONE - the Caravanners Guide to the Round Australia Trip, the popular travel writer columnist and photographer has broadened the scope of this, his latest book, to include all types of RV travel in Australia

First timers and experienced travellers alike will find this book an invaluable reference with its down to earth, practical advice based on thousands of kilometres and nearly half a century of travelling Australian roads in all States of the country.

Besides nine sections packed with helpful information, the book also contains detailed Route Notes that cover all major Australian highways and are derived from his extensive travels plus additional research using a variety of maps, directories and atlases.

Lionel is only too pleased to try to give helpful advice about any aspect of RV travel in Australia although he is quick to add that he has no formal qualifications for questions involving technical matters - just a wealth of practical experience.

Driving & Towing to Stay Alive

Driving & Towing to Stay Alive:

Safe driving whether towing or not, requires total awareness of what other road users are doing and the ability to communicate with them through your actions behind the wheel. Brian and Joy Grant of Cine News Productions of South Australia have put together nine minutes on driving and 31 minutes on towing which communicate real skills.

Driving & Towing to Stay Alive DVD is designed to provide  practical information that hopefully will put the task of driving and towing in a completely different light and therefore help everyone become a better and more importantly a much safer driver.

Someone once said that  mountain ranges should not be judged  by comparison, but rather walk amongst them and let them speak for themselves.
