First launched in 2003 as a personal travel journal where friends and relations could keep in touch with us the site has evolved into one of Australia's leading caravaners websites. The travel journal is still here and can now be found in the Blog > RV Travel Blogs > Merv & Renee.
A caravanners forum under the banner of the Australian Caravan Motorhome and Campers Forum was launched in late 2005 and is today one of this countries leading RV forums with over 3000 members and growing steadily by the week.
Now in 2011 we once again must move with the times and the ever changing technology. The site gets a major facelift and the addition of many new features. The Australian Caravan Motorhome and Campers Forum is moved from the now deprecated ASP technology to the Dot Net Framework and becomes a true web application.
The site is owned and operated by Merv and Renee Harvey, full time caravanners. It is maintained totally while being mobile around this great land.
By Rv'ers for Rv'ers.
