Both, including the one I have just bought, will go out when I turn down to a low setting. Any members experienced this, and have a solution. Perhaps there is a recommended burner t...

Hi all, I would like to know if anyone has had any experience with a Casale washing machine. Our van has one installed. It looks very much like a Lemir 2.2kg with a name change. Any comments good or bad would be appreciated. Regards

We are travelling from Brisbane to catch the Spirit of Tasmania from Melbourne in a couple of weeks time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where we can do an overnighter close to the ferry.

Hi all I'm looking for some honest opinions on the above camp sites. I have heard very mixed reports about both and to be honest I'm a little concerned about spending time at both of them but the reviews and opinions on Gnaraloo in particular seem to be either good or terrible with nothing in between

Just be very aware and careful of the wind gusts in NSW at present . I came through a cutting doing 80 kph and the side wind near tipped our 6 ton motorhome over . Lucky there was enough room in lane to correct enough ! The gust wasn't long enough but lighter motorhome or vans could be in trouble !!

Hi All, We recently bought a double water filter for the van. Although, we usually find water in caravan parks is good. How necessary do you think these are and what price?

I think the salesman told us 90 liters each tank. When I got my Hoselink water flow meter a couple of years ago I measured the water into the tanks and of course forgot to write it down.
