Caravan park residents' rights bill moves closer to becoming law
Original source: examiner.com.au

A bill to establish the rights and obligations of long-term caravan park residents and park owners has passed the lower house of Tasmania's Parliament. The state was the only one in Australia where such residents lacked protections equivalent to residential tenants regarding rent increases, bonds, and evictions. The legislation follows a protracted conflict at one park and extensive consultation that generated 58 submissions.

Electric camper and round-Australia trip

Clive Attwater and his partner Sue have embarked on a round-Australia trip in an electric camper based on the Farizon SV van. The couple plans to follow a figure-eight route starting from Hobart, passing through Victoria, South Australia, Alice Springs, Darwin, Western Australia, the Nullarbor, Townsville, and the east coast. The camper is equipped with solar panels, a domestic battery, and a fully electric kitchen. The trip aims to demonstrate the feasibility of long-distance electric travel and to inform campground operators about preparing for electric vehicle charging. The cargo van costs between €43,000 and €49,000, with conversion adding €18,000 to €30,500.

Toyota Land Cruiser 78 becomes camper for 5,499 AUD — Summit Vans drops pop-top

Australian builder Summit Vans has introduced a conversion kit for the Toyota Land Cruiser 78 Troop Carrier that does not require a pop-top roof. The base furniture kit costs 5,499 AUD and excludes a fridge, battery, water system and installation. The module includes an L-shaped bench that converts into a 1,910x965 mm bed and a bamboo worktop. Factory assembly in Wollongong starts at 8,499 AUD, with a production lead time of three to four weeks. The vehicle is cramped for full-time living: standing height is not possible inside, and the bed is mainly for one person. However, it retains standard height and can still be used as a regular off-roader between trips.
