Sorry to be a little morbid guys but better we understand the realities. The other day Dr Norman Swan mentioned on ABC radio that he expected deaths in the 65+ age group to be around 10%, he was not wrong it seems. However a friend speculated "Yes, but most of those will be the oldies, 80+". Not so. The fol...

Just wondering if anyone has been to a caravan service centre to have their caravan roof resealed and how much it cost. I have a pop top that when it is not in use and is down doesn't leak but when popped has a leak in one corner. I live on the Central Qld coast and willing to travel if the cost is reasonable.

Hi I plan to travel from North East Victoria to Ballina in northern NSW and will be towing a 5th wheeler. What I am looking for is the best route to take for crossing the Great Divide. If someone can advise on the lowest point to cross I would greatly appreciate.

Looked at a 2011 Coromal 662 yesterday with the possibility of buying it. I had read somewhere about them having delamination issues. Well this van inside is in perfect condition, so wife was very happy . On checking the outside the first thing I did was push on the wall, it bobbled about a little. On the...

Does anyone successfully use a portable air conditioner? We have a small hybrid van (Modcon C3). Looking for something that you can vent out a window and is not an evaporative cooler. The Zero Breeze Mark 2 seems good but has mixed reviews and I'm not even sure if they are available in Australia. Any ide...

Anyone figured out the new CMCA GeowikiX yet? Or do you think Wikicamps is the best. For the life of me I can't figure out Geowiki x. I've read their FAQ several time but to no avail. Can CMCA's Geowiki be used off line?

i just had my rig put over the weigh bridge whilst away on a road trip. When it came to toe ball mass the operator did not want me to unhitch. Instead he had me raise the jockey wheel so high it was lifting the back of the car quite considerably. Surely this must give a false TBM reading. As a result I am a littl...

The plastic toilet bowl in the van has stained/tarnished over time. Tried all sorts to clean it, including the internet favourite, tooth paste. Nothing has worked to any great degree till I tried one of the sodium percarbonate products, in this case, the Aldi Di San Oxy 32.5%. With a bit of elbow greas...
