I just returned home from a 3 day work trip in the country around Biloela/Gayndah/Murgon in Qld. The Nomads have been let loose! A few vans getting around on the Bruce Highway, but on the country highways (mostly heading west) every 5th vehicle had some sort of mobile accommodation attached. More v...

In two words: bloody brilliant! A few weeks past I fitted a Chinese diesel heater (E-bay - $180) and have been very pleased with its performance when camped by the Murray in NW Vic with nights down to around 5C. However I've now moved to a location near the Grampians in Vic and have an elevation of 250m. Fo...

I only take delivery of this vehicle this coming Saturday. For it's age it has low mileage of 112,000km. I'm new to Motorhomes, but have owned a caravan a few years ago. Any tips and tricks with this particular type of van I should watch out for? Thanks folks.

At the height of this virus thingy, we had a sign on entrance roads into our town which warned that driving thru was allowed but stopping unless you were a local was banned. We have still got these signs, and we have had no covid cases in town. Our demographic, is 70% over 60 years of age So as a combined pos...

We're considering installing a Diesel Air Heater into our Iveco Winnebago 'Jervis' Motorhome, and from what I've read a 2.2Kw Eberspacher/Dometic unit would do the job nicely. Can anyone out there recommend anyone that can supply & fit for us. We live in Shepparton but would consider anywhere...

Hi all, I have a 139 litre water tank under the van. It has been sitting there a while. I will empty it out, but to clean it out, what do you do? I have been advised to use special tablets or just a bit of chlorine in the water plus a fresh wash out again. I intend to empty it after use in the future.
