Finally I have found the picture that I was looking for at that time.This may be of interest to those of us who tow big heavy vans with Toyotas,as using the tongue incorrectly c...

There was recently a post about lack of information about gvm and gcm upgrades on dmax by Isuzu dealer. I spoke to a dealer today at Isuzu Cardiff nsw and he informed me they can be done in the pre rego which will give a national certificate if the vehicle is sod interstate. Because of the new model only ped...

Is it best to have an under bench water filter fitted when building our van or have it done later? and should water be filtered when filling the tank also? We have been quoted by the builder Network RV that they will need to install another 12v pump and seperate faucet which will cost $695.

And where do you guys get the money to do it every coup-le of...
