In this DVD

In this DVD, Rob & Marg McAlister get ready to leave the kerb for their yearlong lap of Australia! We follow them every step of the way from design and construction of their 22ft caravan to picking it up at the dealership.


Rob then pays a visit to TJM with their new Isuzu DMax tow vehicle and gets it fitted out with a few ‘extras’ to make the job of towing that much easier.


We then head to a towing course, where the McAlisters pick up some great tips on reversing, safety, and weight distribution. With everything in place, Rob & Marg set off to the Blue Mountains for a test run. Highlights of the area include the Three Sisters and Scenicworld, before continuing north up the highway to Mount Tomah, Mudgee and Gulgong. A beautiful botanic garden, wine tasting, and a Henry Lawson history lesson are all part of the fun.


This is going to be an epic adventure, and you won’t want to miss any of it!
