We are looking for a 12v DC low wattage and silent fan for keeping the air moving on hot nights. We tried on of those water tank evaporative ones on our boat. Waste of money. We've also found that most dash fans are noisy. There is this, which claims to be silent: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-360-R...

Hi. I am planning my next trip and would like to do Birdsville, via Broken Hill going up, and coming out through Quiplie. I will be driving a Nissan Patrol (4.8 Petrol) pulling a Jayco Starcraft Tourer, NOT Off Road. Would I be in need of "Psychiatric assistance" to attempt such a trip with this combo, or...

Airconditioners and battery power. Apology for my ignorance but I was just wondering how many members use their caravan airconditioners from purely battery power when off road in terms of practical hours of usage. I realise the airconditioners draw a huge amount of power and their off road usage ne...

Or spiral wound type. If anyone still has the original type from around 10-12 years ago, have a good look at them. One failed on us yesterday with an audible " Pop" , heard from 10 meters away. It was very difficult to remove, had almost welded to the bayonet spigots in the light fitting. The other two in th...

Have been looking on eBay but not found a set of mirrors I like the look and price of. We have one set, which has straps that clip to the back of the car mirror, braced with a decent sucker that fits on the door. I'd like another set like this which resists being knocked out of kilter by truck blast from the opp...

For your information I was advised by a nursing home pharmacy nurse that there is a scam taking place regarding prescription drugs.

Just wondering if it is okay to leave a caravan with its solar panels exposed whilst not using any power and if the constant charge is detrimental to the lithium batteries. Also in the above scenario, should I drain some power from the batteries from time to time or is this not necessary? Basically the c...

I spent last summer camped in the forests of East Gippsland, Victoria. It was hot and very dry and we had some serious bushfires. Because I now have a caravan I usually have to camp in the larger camping areas which can accommodate a number of vans or tents. Last year I made it my habit to check camp fires af...

Just curious about the most accurate way to weight Tow Ball Weight (I have one of those Towsafe TBW scales that go under the hitch) when my caravan is sitting on a sloping driveway?

Yep, I have no projects labeled as urgent, everything on board is working. Even going to a caravan show today, nothing to buy, just look. I may do some home work on a lithium up-grade to our batteries, but its not urgent. Just serviced the van, here's to another nap!

Hi all on this glorious, sunny, Sunday afternoon (well from where I sit anyway!) Is there such a thing as CARAVAN CLUBS in Perth WA? One gets a bit tired of all your old fart friends that you can rarely get off the couch and get moving. If there are such things, like 4 wheel drive clubs but for caravanners, t...
