I found fitting and detaching the safety chains to the car one of the biggest PITA ever inflicted on the caravan community. Sitting on the draw bar fiddling around with shackles, not knowing if they were tightening, dropping the pin on the ground, the whole lot almost put me into therapy. Now, I have so...

Hi everyone, we usually insulate windows in winter with car sunshades now we are going to try coreflute. Anyone else tried it? Sounds feasable. Rocket

We pulled into Wiicannia going from Broken Hill to Cobar earlier this week and I decided to top up the car at the self serve 24hr BP fuel bowser in the back street as it was 15c/ltr cheaper than the servo on the Hwy. its was one of those unmanned pumps where you set the amount and pay with your credit card bef...

There's a fantastic solution - I have a Sphere 21" that speaks thru silver paper with a sound more like a $2 kids toy. So bad in fact that I rigged it to run thru the in-house radio - trouble was the sound was from behind and above and somewhat disorienting relative to the picture. Anyway I imposed on the br...

In the latest GN News their is an article titled 'now you see it'.....a shield which can be propped up to make your campsite invisible to others. So, say a Landcruiser plus huge caravan wants to park there.... :)

Hurry up and give them all your personal details so that they sell the info off and pay for the blanket adds on TV. IMHO a dreadfolly insidious confidence trick.

Next to safety chains the next PITA is finding a servo with ample room to check and pump up tyres. I have now solved this problem by purchasing a Milwaukee 12 tyre inflator. They are worth every cent. They are small, light and compact and really quick. Accurate too. Just set the required pressure, hit t...

Hi All, Question for the electronic gurus. Have had a Black Rhino 12V fridge that I bought 3 years ago at Aldi when it was last one in store and with a +50% discount. Recently I decided that I wanted to replace my ever reliable Engel (54 years old and still going) with a Fridge that has a freezer compartment...

Why can't the manufacturer build a silent genny? They can effectively muffle a 5L V8, so why not a piddling little 120cc fartbox? There's plenty of call for some clever handyman to make and sell on e-Bay a clip/ clamp/screw on auxiliary bit of silencer for the more popular of the gennies. The manufa...

Hi Everyone, the time has come for us to sell our van as we have not been capable these last few of years. Question is how much do caravans depreciate per years these days? Bought it second hand in 2013. Aussie Paul

Hi fellow travellers, I was hoping to determine water pump sizing for 2 taps (Shower / sink). It seems brands are seaflo, jabsco, shurflo. What GPM & PSI is your current caravan water pump? Are you happy with flow/pressure? Thanks in advance.
