I realise this is a very broad subject but I've been wondering for a while what people do with their day when they live on the road full time. Especially when staying in one place for some time. Would really like to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Hi, I drive a Mazda CX-9 and the specs say it tows 2 tonne and handles 100kg on the tow ball. The problem is the 2 pop tops I am looking at buying are 108kg and 125kg on the tow ball. Is there any way around this? I don't know much about weight distribution systems. Cheers, Noel

I haven't used my van for a while & although it's showing charged was wondering if it's possible to charge up the break safe battery by the two external terminals shown in the pic by using a smart charger instead of waiting until I hook up the van in two months time. Hasn't been used for 12 months.

Hi Nomads, Has anyone got any suggestions on caravan insurance - I just got my renewal quote from CIL with a ridiculous increase - it's gone up around 50% over the last four years yet I have made no claim. I called them to ask for a better deal and was told no chance! Maybe they don't want my business. Any he...
