Man, you’d think we’d have figured it out by now!

We were chatting to the sales rep at Freedom Camping, who of course was one-eyed biased towards their tents, and gave us lots of horror stories of people who had headed off around Australia with a cabin tent (like we have just bought), only to have it collapse half way up the East coast, and then they got a Freedom Touring tent and lived happily ever after! But the Freedom touring tents cost anywhere between $1,800 and $2,600!

320 hours: If we want to travel easy and just average 2 hours per trip, and only move once a week, then this should take us about 3 years!
