We left Euroa on 22 April 2016 driving our Hyundai i30 and 10'6" homebuilt van.
Just a few comments you might enjoy. All just our opinion.
The small 10" wheels rotated about 10 million times The Chinese bearings held up OK The shower portapotti in such a tiny van was worth the effort also to enable us to turf wet clothes or shoes
