Well after taking advice from all the lovely people who replied to my question about insurers I am not only disappointed but really annoyed. WFI informed me they don't insure in our area of 4741 in Qld due to it being a cyclone area. In many previous years Brisbane and the SE have been hammered by storms a...

Hi Looks like I may be caravanning on my own in future and really love my kayak. But being 150cm short and a measly 44kg (and yes a female) I would find it very difficult getting it down from the roof of my vehicle. I have seen the kayak loaders which seem a likely possibility but was wondering if anyone has d...

I have "been told" to look at another vehicle as my Patrol is "getting a bit old with nearly 420,000 kms on the clock" & the ones in view are the IZUZU pair. 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)...
