RvTrips was created by Rob and Vickie Tibbett, experienced travellers with a passion for regional Australia. Our goal is to help holidaymakers find the best Australia has to offer. Using RvTrips, we hope caravan, motorhome and camper trailer owners can now easily access quality information on outback Australia and explore the true wonders of this beautiful country.
We have included 1,000s of comments, photographs, tips and reviews to help you decide what to see next.
Where it all began
The outback has an enormous amount to offer the traveller wanting to explore real Australia, meet friendly people or have a relaxing holiday. The air is clean, the sky is crystal clear and the natural wonders truly unique and world class. Welcome to our world.
The RvTrips concept came from our desire to store photos and notes about places we visit, while travelling around Australia. There are so many fantastic things to see and do and we really wanted to be able to easily share these memories and travel tips with family and friends. Our kids pointed us to Facebook. We should have known! All good, a perfect fit.
But there's more!
Our needs soon changed, we wanted more. We could not find a simple, easy to use, resource that clearly showed all the interesting things to see and do in an area. We consumed travel books, scoured websites and social media, but we still missed many treasures that only the locals and seasoned travellers knew about. The places that make outback Australia a truly remarkable destination.
The website
We decided to do our own thing. Build a website that we would find useful and hopefully, others would too. We have been running a computer software and web design business Modern Web, since 1984. We have the IT background and, now the time, to share the years of touring experiences, tips and special places with fellow travellers or those wishing to begin their journey exploring Australia.
RvTrips.com.au was born.
Regional Australia is a friendly place. While caravanning around Australia, we have always found locals and fellow travellers keen to share their favourite experiences, great locations, or knowledge of that special camp site. Our most memorable experiences have come from ‘travel tips ' and personal recommendations made by fellow travellers. Many places we would not have otherwise visited.
Promoting tourism in Australia
Our passion for exploring and promoting Australian helped us become a Strategic Partner of Regional Tourism Australia. We share similar goals; a keen desire to promote tourism in outback Australia, assist regional communities and to help others enjoy our amazing and unique environment.
We made the decision to make RvTrips a platform for helping others explore Australia. No longer a personal website, but a worldwide resource to assist fellow travellers to maximise their enjoyment in Australia.
A meeting place
We decided to open up RvTrips, let others include their tips, comments and feedback, so we can all benefit. We moved RvTrips into the world of social media. An online home for those exploring, or wishing to explore, Australia.
We owe a lot to the friendly RV community already enjoys touring Australia. We encourage you to join us on RvTrlips and share your thoughts so others can make the most of their time exploring this amazing country.
Travel articles
We wanted to offer more, so our editorial team was given the task of compiling a series of easy to read travel articles on places visited. We now have over 2000 interesting articles containing information, tips and our comments on destinations you might enjoy.
Our catalogue of travel articles will grow as the RvTrips team continues to explore Australia. We hope you enjoy these travel articles and get some good ideas about where you would like to go next.
Products & services
The Australian RV industry offers excellent choice and variety. We think this is important, so a ‘Products & Services' section was created in RvTrips to house an Australia wide directory of suppliers of RV products & services.
We will continually update our RV industry directory, inviting the best suppliers to detail their company products and services. We are hoping that fellow RVers can easily find their next ‘must have' here on RvTrips!
RV industry assistance
Why not help the RV industry promote their goods & services? We expanded our Products & Services section and offered each supplier the opportunity to include a full page, dedicated to promoting their products. This is an industry first, a free service instigated but RvTrips and Regional Tourism Australia.
Our readers can now get the latest RV industry news, promotions and contact details. A win-win for all.
Product reviews
Feedback is always important, especially when it involves a product that you are interested in buying. We expanded our Review section and linked it to our Products & Services directory providing a useful research tool for those in the market for a new RV product.
Read unbiased reviews from RVers who use these products in the real world. Everyday users offering common sense reviews.
The future
We have big plans for RvTrips with many new features currently in development. We want to make your time with us enjoyable and rewarding.
Whether you own a caravan, camper trailer, motorhome, prefer to camp in a tent, use a swag or simply tough it out in a flash resort, we hope RvTrips can help make your holiday experience more enjoyable.
Yours sincerely,
Rob & Vickie
