Hi, we have an ensuite van and do not use for No 2s. If we go free camping, our aim when we retire, what type if toilet tent is best? Pop up? Slightly heavier one with poles. Also outside toilet seat, the ones weve seen so far look to be rather on the small side. What do people use? Recommend?

Friends are on their second MUX & swear by them (80,000 trouble free kms on the first one). I'm favouring the D-MAX purely on the weight (load)...

Hi we are going away for 10weeks and would like to know if turning off the power is a good idea as we have been told that you can have issues when turning the power back on with the fridge. Also are down light sensors any good. Hoping someone might help shed some light!! On these questions. Phil

Last days of School Holiday. Weather down south appears to have broken. No real reason to go north till now. In fact more reasons not to go north. We started planning our June 1 departure last week. I know many Grey Nomads who head north first day of 2nd school term or first week of May.

Hi all I'm heading to the Cape in June and will be staying in Mareeba for a couple of weeks first. My question is - which is the best way up to Mareeba from the coast? Is it an easier drive up from Innisfail or is it better to travel up through Cairns and Kuranda? Thanks Hendo
