Hello Cryil ZS2EJ, and others in this forum ....

You might be right Cryil, as I think you have been reading postings
by Barry VK2AAB on this subject.

Right after Bin Laden was killed, the price of oil came down US1.60
per barrel, and I expected a bit of reaction at the pumps....but
no way...we still sit at C$ 1.29:9 /litre local with us seeing it
at C$1.39:9/litre in other places closeby....if you can figure that
out?
Agree with what you have typed Cyril ...no end in sight.

I have no idea on the date above here in Ontario,Canada Cryil,
so I'll have to take a pass for now, and leave it to someone
else to carry on with you in comparing.

OK Cryil ... well you need to email me to compare our caravans,
or RVs as we call;em here. I drive a 2005 Dodge Caravan with
a 13ft Trillium trailer <1976>. Your Gypsey sounds..sort of
familar, so perhaps we can compare weight etc.... as they say
we could tow the Trillium with a VW bug.
As for the Caravan places..or RV parks...we have the provincial
parks as you might in RSA. Also indepedent ones, and we stay in
both a weekend might be about .... C$ 90.00 for two days, and
of course fire wood on top of that for $5.00 ...we hope.
Yeah....the parks prices are a bit steep, as they have to make it
in the RV months of travel... June to October....or Spring to Fall
for the colours up north of here.
I am even thinking of a retunr to sailing...and my famous boom
docking here or there <nav lights on thru the night ..BTW >.
