Hi all, am after ideas on how you have addressed the cloths line ordeal. I want something that is fairly strong and light, not something you might use once then delegate to the rubbish bin. It must be suitable for full time Grey Nomading. One idea is to put eyebolts through the awning struts, but the stru...

Hi did a quick search and didn't find the answer.... Are new vans supplied with a fire extinguisher by law? or is it the norm to buy one after purchasing the van? We will at the very minimum have 1 in the van, 1 in the car and a fire blanket in the van. Just curious... Regards Brijacq

We are getting annoyed with this free camp obsession. Having just returned from 5 nights at a caravan park in Gippsland and paying only $20 a night we were more than happy to pay to keep this park in business. What we were not happy about was giant expensive vans and the expensive tow vehicles looking at f...

For years I have noticed these after-market plastic wind deflectors which people buy and attach to their driver's, and sometimes passenger's, windows. I assume they deflect the air so that you are not sitting in a gale if you have the window down. Are they any good and worth spending around $100 on?
