    Ive met people like that. Some extremely wealthy but real down to earth people are happy to share their stories but do so without any arrogance or without trying to show off. Just sharing.

    A friend of mine was talking to someone he just bought a yacht off. It is a 62ft 3 bedroon sunseeker and turns out the guy selling it is a just a quiet super nice aussie guy who has a few massivrly succesful businesses but stays completely under the radar.

    He upgraded to a $7m yacht as he wanted 5 bedrooms but he walks around dressed like everyone else and is just as nice to the guy working in the servo as he is to someone worth as much as he is. Fwiw i reckon hes worth over 100m

    Could you really find that many young men?

    Hang on, yes. Today being today- you could find them if you hung around the Gai Waterhouse.

    Those camper vans are insane, not roughing at all in those things. There's the monster 5th wheelers bigger than their retirement villages and we saw one ridiculous Winnebago thing towing a full blown Landcruiser wagon! 2t+

    Caravan parks have such a diverse mix of people! Not all tell you the back story but you can suss out the clever dicks who have a packet behind them and others who have done it tough and doing their thing to get by... And there's the ones who should have just stayed home and annoyed their neighbours instead! :mad:

    That's the way to do it, tow the car behind.
    I've seen the big dual tyre SUV's with the truck hitch in the back and a big caravan trailer attached in the US.

    Because the caravan parks where you pay can be full of boisterous kids. Even one kid is one too many considering my profession.
