we are thinking of getting an annexe for our new van, just to give us that extra space to store things and to give our dogs and us shelter from the elements. Would only use one if staying several days. What do others use instead of a full annex, would love to know

Hi, I have just returned from a short trip Sydney - Western Vic - Eastern SA and return, driving my 4.8 litre Patrol (petrol) towing the Jayco Starcraft (2.5 tonne).

The ubiquitous E-bay diesel heaters: how long does a 10L tank of diesel last in a Victorian winter? (In Rutherglen, if you like :) ) Just trying to get a sense of how much diesel I need to carry for remote camping in winter.

But nicely please :) I think I have almost sorted out the new tow vehicle and, in a month or two, intend to take my caravan and head north from Melbourne.

Does anybody have a good suggestion for the best way of securing my caravan from theft, while parked in a back paddock that doesn't have a padlock on the gate towards the road? i.e. gate-padlock is not feasible, because owner drives in and out of that gate nearly every day. Wheel clamp? Towbar locking g...

I have little tolerance for TV ads that are untruthful or inaccurate. As a Grey Nomad the Holden Trailblazer TV ad annoyed me.
