Abstract
The population is ageing worldwide. Travelling for long periods of time in caravans or motorhomes has become popular among Australian "Grey Nomads". Though their travel profile has been explored, evidence investigating their health remains scarce. This study explores the experiences of Grey Nomads living with chronic conditions as they travel.
