So you made up your mind and wanna head to the other end of the world. You got your plane tickets, you organized your visa, you know what places to see, and where to party.

Time to start relaxing, right? But did you also think about the biggest task waiting for you before you start travelling? The first step for a great trip begins even before leaving home. With most airlines limiting your luggage to one piece and 20kg, you have to pack carefully. And there are a lot more things to consider than just the weight.

VOTE FOR TRAVELLERS AUTO BARN NOW!!!

July 2010 has been a busy month at Australia’s number one budget camper rental company, Travellers Auto Barn, as they welcome the latest addition to their rapidly growing fleet: “Deluxe Campervans”. These campervans represent a whole new class of vehicle Travellers Auto Barn are making available to the backpacking traveller and will offer a new level of comfort, quality and style while still being keenly priced to compete in Australia’s increasingly crowded youth/backpacker market.

The new “Deluxe campervans” – a three berth model which Travellers Auto Barn will run alongside its existing  fleet of Hitop campers -  will offer travellers looking for that little bit extra in comfort and modern design an excellent alternative to the more mainstream rental companies.

The Sydney Daily Telegraph published an article on the 5th of August 2010 about the Sydney cycleway projects – luckily the picture was just taken down the street from our central office – the two HiTop Campervans look awesome!
