Hi, given the multitude of TV brands, could the Forum recommend a 12v 24 smart TV based on previous experience, ie reliability, reception and usability. Regards Wayne.

Hi I am currently driving the Princes Hy in Vic east up to NSW. A bit of a goat track through the forests. Yesterday i was driving into a 75 posted corner and coming towards me was a typical twincab ute with a large van on the back, going too fast, obviously having trouble keeping it all on the road. Well up...

Im assuming a true condenser based air con probably is not available/appropriate for 12V, but then perhaps a...

A couple of my Eurovision widows seem to stick to the rubber seal if not used for some time. Such as in storage. Does anyone have a solution to stop this? I did think of rubbing something on the seal such as olive oil, but this could effect the rubber.

Good morning everyone, We are picking up our van in 2 weeks.

Is anyone out there using them and, if so, how have you fou...

Just a heads up on these batteries. RTM (Road Tech Marine) have these (12.8v, 100Ah) batteries on sale for $899 (saving $100, they say).

Although I am happy to do my duty as an Australian citizen we plan to be travelling around the country for a good part of 2020. This could seriously hamper our travel plans. Ha...
