It is a very common sight here Ian to see an RV (we call them 4WDs) towing
a caravan on its way round Australia with a trailer behind loaded with a
small car, bikes, etc. They park the van and the 4WD and use the small car
everywhere where they stay in caravan parks. They are called "grey
Gypsies", retirees who spend their retirement years going round and round
the country. Some sold their homes in one or other of the cities and spend
the time travelling.
Cheers,

>Something Pete said about having an MDI Aircar if not for towing the RV,
brought back a memory from my teenage,motorbike days.We were visiting our
local garage cun Greasy Spoon one night and,outside was parked what we
would now call an RV.
We took a look around it, amazed at the living/sleeping area, big enough
to hold a dinner party but the final surprise was that it had a sort of
'garage' across the rear. Maybe meant to originally hold a Harley
Davidson, this 'garage' had an Isetta bubble car squeezed into it. In
addition, there were two trail bikes strapped to the rear.
