In one day heading north on the Bruce highway we spotted 11 RAM trucks heading south. Another 4 today. Are they really eating all the notes for breakfast? Anyone here with any feed back on them? Caveat - I owned a RAM 5 years.

Over the years, I have seen quite a few Victorian registered caravans being towed by vehicle with other state registrations - mainly NSW tugs. With the Corona Virus and the border closures, I wonder how they are getting on up North now - are they being pulled over by the police as they travel along?

Plenty of tread left with no obvious signs of damage or flaws. Our local BFG dealer can supply a fresh set in the same size at $299 each plus an alternative bran...

Does anyone have a suggestion for a brand/model that would be suitable? I would like it to be small enough to fit into the back of my Land Cruiser 200 series. Thanks and Che...

Hi all, any advice on overnight accommodation along the Hume Hwy between Syd & Vic? We are moving to Tassie with our two cars & a caravan, so will need easy turn & parking access. We can't stay in the van as it will be full stuff. A nice quiet B&B or motel. Any advice would be great.
