RV FEATURE
INSURANCE
Make sure you have full replacement coverage
for your vehicle and RV. If you break down in
a remote area, are you covered for towing and
retrieval costs?
Health insurance is a matter of personal choice,
but ambulance coverage is a must. If you take it
out in one state, you will also be covered Australia-
wide (but confirm this!).
FIRST AID
Take a St Johns Ambulance first aid course before
leaving home and carry a first aid book and a
fully stocked first aid kit that includes a pressure
bandage for snake bites, a broad-spectrum
antibiotic, an analgesic for pain and an anti-
inflammatory.
If you have an allergy or health condition, get a
summary from your doctor. Have a card in your
wallet with an emergency contact, your blood
group and the details of the doctor who treats
you for these.
Always fill prescriptions in towns with chemists
and take extra. In some cases, out-of-state scripts
may not be accepted. In some parts of Australia,
there can be as many as 1900km between
chemists, for example along the Savannah Way.
