Wikicamps or CMCA's Geowiki x
(Preview)
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?

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...

Old Blokes and Stabiliser Legs
(Preview)
my Alko stabiliser legs are deep under my caravan on the chassis. Winding them up and down is no problem (no rattle gun required), but getting down and under to pull the red handle to lower/raise the legs to the required angle is quite an exhausting task for this old bloke and his sore back.

New Old stock?

Why would a caravan dealer still have so many new 2018 model vans on the lot in 2020? Perhaps I am getting old a cynical but I smell a rat!

Accident going some where to happen
(

(Preview)
Last Saturday 11:30 am 22/02/2020 I was traveling west along the Gatton bypass on the speed limit [100 kph]and I was overtaken by two idiots in 4x4`s towing caravans. I have it on dash cam and I estimate they were doing at least 110 - 115 kph. If these people are on this forum, you are bloody idiots.
