Hi, I am looking at buying a camper/mh which can tow around 2000kg. Your thoughts on 4cyl as opposed to 6cyl engines would be helpful. I am looking at Mazda T3500, Coasters and Nissan civilians as preferred vehicles. I have seen all configurations towing something and wonder how efficient they are. I...

Looks like this will be foisted on us by the end of the week..... I'm not to sure about this. I have strong doubts that there is much we can do about climate change, it's going to change even if we stopped emitting any greenhouse gas at all.

I probably should hunt down the manual and read it but: Can you run the fridge on gas while you are towing if you do not have a battery for 12V. Would the pilot blow out with the Draft? May be there may even be a law against it , not sure on the safety aspects so have never tried. Also can any one give a rough estim...

Hi Guys, In the last few days of our just completed trip I found the dometic T rated fridge was not cutting it when running on either 12v or 240v. On gas it seemed to work fine. When running on power it struggled to stay below 9degC in the cabinet. This has never been a problem with this fridge before as las...
