What licence do I need to hire a campervan or motorhome in Katoomba?

For most campervans, motorhomes, and RVs (under 4.5 tonnes GVM), you only need a standard car licence. If you're hiring a caravan, you'll also need a tow-capable vehicle and to check its towing capacity.

Do I need to book caravan parks in Katoomba in advance?
