A few days ago I saw a Face Book market place advert for batteries suitable for our van. I got 3 x 100 amp/hr for $220 to replace the two we have been using. I took the bathroom scales and my ubeaut battery tester. They weigh 31.7kg and show up as 100% good batteries. The two old batteries are showing 13% and 6...

I've heard that the Sprinter is a difficult one to locate mechanics in the country areas here in Australia and that a Ford Transit would be the better choice. I've also heard that the Sprinter is very expensive when facing any repairs. Who has learned information on what might be a good choice of simila...

I have a cracked glass window on my drift away little robin mini. I believe the glass can be replaced but I need to remove the ' Blade ' from the window. It is a wind out window and I cannot remove the blade without disconnecting the winder arms. The only way I can see to do this would be to drill out the middle r...

If you have a Suburban gas hot water heater manufactured in the past one to two years see my post in the "Technical" then Recalls forum. A serious CO issue - we cannot see, taste or smell CO gas... we just don't wake up the next day... fit a CO monitor.

It's insurance time again and NRMA, Club 4x4 will not insure if you live in the van. How does one get around this? I was with CIL but after the 1st year they whacked the premium up and slashed the insured value.

Anyone else noticed Wikicamps no longer works properly on older Iphones? i have had enough of app developers that deliberately cripple perfectly working software and force you to update your IOS on the phone. Which usually cripples the phone if it is older, so you have to go buy an new one. So bye bye Wi...
