Second top quality 'van stolen within weeks
It was the second Boroma to fall victim to thieves within weeks. After a tip-off, police caught a man towing a $117,000 Boroma Grandinata 745ST just days after it had been stolen from another storage yard in Sydney.
It is thought a buyer had already been lined up for the luxury caravan.

Looking forward
THE Agnes Water caravan park (see
story here) was our family holiday destination for nearly 20
years until it closed. We are very much looking forward to enjoying
the tranquillity once again.
Clampdown GREAT news about the government clamping down on shoddy caravan manufacturers and 'vans from overseas (see story here). We have been hearing horror stories for far too long about unscrupulous builders turning out below-par caravans and getting away with it.

The key to beating Bay's
petty crime
INTERESTING article in the last edition of
Caravanning News: Cops hit parks with two-pronged
warning in bid to cut crime. Fines of $40 for people who leave their
cars unlocked. So we lock our vehicles and for us trailer/tent campers
where do we put the keys so they are secure? Carry them on us all the
time, get a waterproof holder so we can take them swimming with us! I am
on holidays and want to relax, not have to secure my belongings more than
I would at home. I think the police need to police and the park and
council management need to effectively manage. Our family used to go to
Hervey Bay for a number of years and the petty crime problem started
around 2004. I had a habit of staying on our campsite each evening to
protect our property. Didn’t make for much of a relaxing holiday.

Caravanners can have their
cake and eat it
CARAVANNERS in the UK have proved they can have their cake and eat it! Andrew and Teresa Davis of Oxfordshire have just won the Practical Caravan's inaugural caravan cake making competition with a delicious offering portraying their prized 2005 Bailey Ranger caravan, complete with high quality detailing and accessories. There were more than 100 entries.
A FRENCH caravanner was found dead in his ice-cold
caravan near the northern town of Arras as freezing weather caused chaos
in parts of Europe.
