Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach?

Hey guys Looking at purchasing new KGM (Ssangyong) Rexton to tow a unit with 3500kg ATM. Just wondering if anyone else has gone down this road and what the feedback is like? More features than you know what to do with but how well do they perform as a tow unit?

Hello all, we have just bought a 2010 Trakka Torino and want to find a flyscreen for the sliding door. Does anyone have the same vehicle with a screen and could give some advice? Many thanks in advance.

I have a bus converted as a motor home. I've spent a few years trying to trace a couple of roof leaks. The suggestion is that I paint the roof with a plastic sealing paint. Anyone got any experience in using this type of product

Did try a search with little info. Anyone in the group that went from Australia to Tasmania, then New Zealand and returning to Australia with their caravan & 4x4. a) Which sea carrier did you use, and the estimated costs? b) If you do it again, would you rather consider hiring a campervan? Any tips...

Of late I had to wait on my mobile for 48 minutes to receive a response from my insurance company. Similar to the run around that I experienced from a telecommuni...
