This morning I saw a rig doing more than 100kph on the freeway, and it made me wonder, what speed do others do? Does it depend on your rig? My b-i-l says 90kph in 4th gear is the best for economy for his Nissan Patrol towing a caravan. My friend says 80kph. He has an auto Mazda BT50 and tows a caravan also. Is t...

Due to weight concerns etc, I am having a gas (canned type) stove or spirity stove fitted to a campervan. With the gas one (fly spray can size cannisters) this can either be used inside the campervan or outside. The spirit one would be fixed. For anyone who has used both these inside, do you get much...

Hello All, We have a 2002 21'6" Heritage. I have just filled the front tank and thought that it would be connected to the rear and fill that at the same time. Not so. My questions are, What is the capacity of these tanks and is there some valve or tap that will allow both tanks to be used at the same time?...
