7.5% compounding interest 

Been camping with soft floor for awhile, thinking of doing the big trip, would need caravan and bigger vehicle

Hire the caravan and you'll save a heap of the readies.

Go on a diet and/or leave the missus at home and you won't need a bigger vehicle.

ps: the Victorian Government offers reverse mortgages to suitable applicants at far less than commercial rates, so maybe check to see if something similar applies in Queensland.

In Victoria, Australia, reverse mortgages are offered under the Australian Government's Home Equity Access Scheme (HEAS), which allows eligible homeowners aged 67 or older to access some of the equity in their homes through a loan. This scheme provides a way to supplement retirement income or fund other needs.

Key Features of the Home Equity Access Scheme in Victoria:
  • Eligibility: You must be 67 years or older, an Australian citizen or permanent resident, a homeowner, and either a pensioner or self-funded retiree.

Suppose it could be used to carry out renovations, but are you locked in to it?

FWIW, my parents as well as a mates parents both crunched their numbers on doing the big trip and found it would be far more economical to stay at motels along the way than buy a van and something to tow it for the big trip, given you'd be in for in excess of $200k for an appropriate setup.
