Hello. I have a small European Caravan and I wish to fit an Air Conditioner, however, there is not much room on the roof. I have heard there is a unit that replaces the Truma Heater called Coolmac. Does anyone know where this brand can be obtained in Australia? Thanks

Don't laugh, there is actually such a thing. My questions to those who have one, how do you empty it, best way to use it, set it up etc. Do you find the gel/bags to be easily disposed of and how do you do that, when not out in the bush. Marge

I recently had to cancel a caravan park booking at a big caravan park in Katherine.The booking was for a date that is over three weeks away. I was charged an "administration fee" of $25 out of a booking deposit of $40. Because this was part of a major club trip that we have had to abandon, this cancellation...

G'day everyone, Have just come across a site that has a mini solar hot water system for vans and RV's - does anyone have this kind of system? I ask because the price of LPG is getting exxy, and I have the little 4.5 kg bottles that cost as much as 9 kg bottles. I'm also considering getting someone to make the...

Hi, I am just doing some research regarding Avan Cruiseliner or Bush Pack Aliner Campers and the do's & don'ts when considering them as an towing option. All I know about them is that they are lightweight( 650kg) and easy to put up and tow. However some say they are not meant for 'off road' drivin...
