I have always been a bit uneasy when travelling outback Queensland. Don't know why, but this photo might explain. It was taken out at "The Rock Hole"" about 10klms out of Charleville. I have had it as my screensaver and regularly look at it which might explain my seeing things. Old eyes don't help e...

We recently stored our 6mt long mesh security shade under the caravan while at Uluru campground. During the night it flooded so the folded screen was under water. We've found it very difficult to get the red dirt stain out of it, unfortunately it's stained on some of the folded squares and not others so...

Are most people aware of how old their tyres on the caravan are? We brought our van late Feb. and the tyres had approx. 20% tread left. Last week I was checking the tyre pressures before a short trip away. Looking on the net for recommended pressure I was reminded about the age of tyres. When I checked I fou...

When connected to mains water, pressure from tap is strong, but when connected to van the tap pressure in the van is very low and need to use the pump. There does not appear to be in taps turned of underneath. Van is Nextgen.

I have bought Diesel fuel recently at a couple of different Puma Outlets in Qld. Both times I was offered four cents a litre off fuel if I had an RACQ membership Card. The attendants didn't know how long that will go for. Is it worth joining the RACQ just for the discount?
