In the seven years since the Trip In A Van family set off on their first adventure, they've covered tens of thousands of kilometres and become Australia's most popular travelling family.

This complete guide is jam-packed with every lesson they've learned during their four laps of Australia and is a must-read for anyone roadtripping the continent on four (or eight) wheels. Bec and Justin reveal everything you need to know about travelling Australia in a caravan, van, camper trailer or motorhomeβ€”from choosing your set-up and essential travel gear to packing lists, life admin, budgeting, and home-schooling.

They've also created a detailed itinerary for every state and territory in Australia, with their personal recommendations for activities, caravan parks, and free camping sites, plus special roadtrip spotlights for when you're short on time but still looking for an incredible getaway.
