Have you ever wanted to live the dream?
Have you ever wanted to just go, get a caravan and travel around Australia?
Or perhaps you’re already living the dream and want to live a better version of it.
About the Book
Whether it’s the big lap around Australia, taking a few months here and there to hide out in your favourite spot, or weekend camping to get away and unwind, there is so much more to caravanning around Australia than you think you may already know. We know, we’ve done it, and believe me we had to learn things the hard way. However, our experiences however have allowed us to establish Full Range Camping as one of Australia’s Leading resources when it comes to travelling around Australia in an RV.
The FRC Team on the road
What was missing however was a compendium of all that collective, hard-earned wisdom and experience. But now, thanks to Xavier Waterkeyn and New Holland Publishing here it is!
And here is also your opportunity to get in early, secure the book before it hits the bookstores, and save further on your FRC Membership.

More about the book
While we’re very proud of the FRC website and app as real-time online tools to help you while you’re on the road, The Grey Nomads Ultimate Guide is a much-needed offline compendium that will prepare you well in advance for most eventualities. Even if you think you are already well prepared and experienced because you’re a seasoned traveller, chances are this book will cover things you might not have even thought about.
The book covers topic such as:
• The First Steps – preparing for the trip
• Redesigning, Reinventing & Renegotiating – including financial preparation and health, well-being and eating on the road
• The Rig – the different types and what will suit you best.
• Rules and Regulations of life on the road – what they all mean.
• The Art of Camping – surviving out there, what to expect when on the road, including things that can happen – usually unexpectedly.
• Solo Travelling & Travelling with pets – tips and advice on doing one or the other, or both.

Feedback
We gave a final version of the book to a well seasoned Grey Nomad before it went to print and here is what she had to say….
Oh, if we had only had this resource before we headed out on our grand adventure!! We were late starters into the nomadding lifestyle and bought a second-hand motorhome to start our adventures.
This book covers the WHOLE arena of this adventurous style of living. The things that would’ve been so helpful to know are covered in this comprehensive book. The experience of other people is so valuable, as we learned as we travelled this wonderful country. Talking to others at the various campsites, we learned so much ‘on the run’, so to speak.
This excellent book on the nomadding lifestyle will become a classic in this field. We can’t recommend it enough if you’re contemplating or have even started, on this priceless and life-changing experience. From how to finance the adventure to where to find the next dump-point and the back-up information and direction given by Full Range Camping makes this volume a dynamic and invaluable book to keep in front of your eyes.
