Our car (our only one) is 2013 and has just managed to creep to 39,000 km - how much driving after retirement? As little as possible

How much driving after retirement?. I hope lots
I still have my Ultimate Campertrailer.
Used to do Off-road Fraser Island and Vic High Country
I think less off road after retirement but a caravan is not out of question. Which then means a 4x4
walk, buses, taxis, Uber. I haven’t had a licence for 25 years, but am still independent. Although Mr FM is good about taking me around - he tends to drop me off at say the dentist, doctor etc and I make my own way home. I figure the amount it costs to run a car, I can take an Uber whenever I want to and I am still way ahead. It does help that he does all the market and grocery shopping - I just hand over shopping lists and yell at him when he brings the wrong things home .I will reduce cars to two though so Mrs QS and I do not need to be bother each other 24/7/365
I was a bit with Mrsdrron until I discovered glamping on Safari.....Mrsdrron loves sleeping under the stars-as long as there are 5 of them.
So my camping days finished 47 years ago.
My camper used to take 4 hours to pack up.

Yes. I think intrastate trips up and down the coast will be scheduled more often.How much driving after retirement?. I hope lots

Some friends of ours just bought something similar and they are off to the centre in a few months for a 3 months trip - we had a good look round and it is amazing (but still didn’t convert us ).And vans today are not what they used to be....(but be careful as quality and durability vary a lot).
