| HITCHING UP WITH MAX TAYLOR
A TENT AND
A BUSTED
RADIATOR
A year or two ago, my family
and I were all set to to hit the
road for a Christmas holiday.
All that was left to do was to
hitch up. But before I did, I
wanted to check the fluid
levels of my 4WD’s engine.
The oil was fine. The coolant
was lower than normal. I
quickly spotted why. The top
tank of the radiator had split.
I could make green fluid ooze
out just by pressing the tank
with a finger.
The family holiday was
suddenly looking unlikely. I had
a couple of choices: tow the
camper and risk major engine
damage, or stay at home
– this was two days after
Christmas and no workshops
would be open until early in
the New Year.
But, then, a third option
presented. We could take
the family tent. This would
involve loading up my wife’s
station wagon and me
borrowing my mother’s car
just to fit all the gear we’d
need, but it would be better
than staying home. Right?

Well… we returned glad
to know that we had a great
camper we could use next
time. In this special issue
– a compilation of some of
our reviews from throughout
this year – I hope you find
your perfect rig, whether it’s
an offroad camper such as
the Track Trailer Tvan 5, or
the attractive Regal
Condamine 650X caravan.
I don't mind tenting but
nothing beats the comfort
of a caravan. Am I right?
