This is my third article on full-time RV living. In this article I am going to cover those chores that we tend to do once every 6 months or so. Some of these are seasonal items.
A Week in the Life of a Full Time RVer – Part 1
Living in an RV full-time is not so different from living in an apartment, until you get to the chores. Most of the chores only take a few minutes to complete or can be hired out to your local RV Repairman. Weekly chores are basically the same as anyplace you live. You have to do some cleaning every now and then. Our 39 ft RV takes my wife about 30-45 minutes to clean front to back, including running the vacuum. If we wipe down the wood work, it might take an hour. So daily cleaning is a lot less work than an apartment or house.
Dunk Island
A recent article in the Cairns Post high lighted the questionability of various awards.

Dunk Island Resort which was devastated by cyclone Yasi in February of this year (2011) …… due to allegations of raw sewage leaks making the area an undesirable place to visit has just won a globally recogonised Tourism Award for 2011.
Dunk Island Resort has been closed since the cyclone with no date set for reopening

Did I put my hand out??

When it comes to travelling in New Zealand, there are many ways to get around and many different places that you can stay. New Zealand is a small country with a very large tourism industry, and they have accommodations of all kinds for every traveller that comes to the country. Caravan parks in New Zealand are a very popular choice for many because of they are a cheaper alternative accommodation for those travelling on a budget. Also known as “holiday parks”, these destinations are scattered throughout the entire country and include rental units, power hook ups (for campervans), tent camping, standard rooms, and more.
