It's goodbye from me. If any of you have seen me on the road in the last six years and have waved, take this as my wave back. If you see the old Patrol again it is not now me. I have, for the forseeable future, gone off the road and back into whatever the opposite of a nomad is, back in NZ. I have increased their P...

Been reading through some American RV forums and found it interesting so far to find no mention of diesel heaters as we know it. They have all sorts of heat pumps, underfloor heating and others, but the good ol' diesel heater seems yet to be discovered by the mainstream. Diesel heating is quite cheap an...

I have a faulty fan which I am trying to remove, however getting the two retaining screws out is proving somewhat problematic. The screw heads will not protrude proud of the fan to enable me to pull / prise them out. I have previously taken the fan down and don't recall having any problems. Any ideas?...

Hi, May seem a silly question but is it OK to start cooling the fridge using the 12v option? Reason for question is that we cannot hook up 240v to cool fridge before we set off on a trip as it is parked in a storage yard. So when we hook up to the tug and drive off I would like to get the 12v working. I vaguely rem...

Just read in the reviews on WikiCamps about the people who are overstaying in the Cann River Free park there. These are the sort of people that get these places Closed Down. It reads that they have taken over the area and unfortunately nothing gets done until it's too late and the rest of us then miss out o...

We have leather Club lounge seating at the back of our caravan. It looks good but it's not really comfortable. As we'll be living in our van for many years we'd like to get it looked at to see if it can be improved. Does anyone know an upholsterer in or near Hobart who may be able to help us?

Went to the Adelaide caravan show today. The cost of entry, parking and lunch added up to a small fortune. Got out with just a couple of hose bags, so not bad. Looked at so many vans of all descriptions. What really stood out was that nothing stood out. Really, all vans just looked the same inside, just rep...
