    We constantly hear that American trucks are safer for towing and that smaller trucks are not safe towing the big vans. This is true, but this is also the problem. As a society we build unnecessary McMansions in the suburbs and then build equally excessive McMansions on wheels to go on holiday, that require bigger and bigger tow vehicles to "safely" tow. Why do caravan manufactures push the bigger vans, because that is where the greater profits are. Yes people want more living space but maybe a bit of downsizing would be a good thing across the board.

    Can I suggest being aware of where you camp. 28 years ago, we were travelling along Newell Highway and got really tired. Those days, there were no wiki camps, so we pulled up at a farmers' gate. Stupid us it was Saturday night and at 2 am the boys were coming home from the pub so they thought it was a good idea to terrorise us till my late husband decided to wind down the window a little bit and inform them they were scaring children. They stopped, but we were done with sleep. That is the only instant I have had trouble. I solo camp now for 10 years, and still no issues. I do pack my gear away and lock doors before bed and lock up doors. I also leave my jockey wheel up and back my rear car tyres on ramps to level up, so if I need to take off in a hurry, the only thing to leave behind is the orange ramps.
