Towing safety expert and founder of the Truck Friendly website, Ken Wilson, has put forward a solid case for ensuring your tow vehicle weighs close to or more than any large caravan behind -- a rare occurrence on the Australian caravanning landscape. In a recent Facebook post titled "Should a tow vehicle be heavier than the trailer/caravan it is towing?"

Jayco has a new entry-level model, with the official launch of a new bare-bones aluminium toy hauler priced from $22,590 RRP.

Let’s face it, motorhomes are a lot more expensive than they were a few years ago, pre-COVID -- up to 50 per cent or more in some cases -- putting a new model out of reach of more buyers on tighter budgets. Of course, there’s always the second-hand market, including refurbished ex-rentals, but who wants to buy one of those?
