Elsewhere I have posted a request for assistance in identifying wires from a van to the correct pin numbers when fitting a new plug to the caravan.

Hi all, bit new to Australian camping and first time poster here. Cheers This is our query: So we arrive at a nice camping ground, pick a nice shady spot [non-powered]. At some time, we want to nick off to the shops 30 minutes away and grab a bite. Because we travel in a campervan we do not leave anything but...

Got a Honda EG5500CXS generator that's part of an offgrid solar setup (set to turn on when battery SOC drops below 20%). Strange thing has started happening recently... after the generator has been on standby (switch = 'on') for a few days, a beeping starts happening. If I turn the generator off, an...

Late last year we finally got our campervan. The one in the Avatar. It's an early 2022 model KEA Nomad. (Sprinter) We really like it and are having fun with it. But I'm not in love with the stickers on it. I was thinking of just removing them, leaving the van plain white. Or maybe even adding a 'wrap' o...

Am amazed at the poor water quality some outback towns have. And some not so far away wera nice and sweet. Not usually a problem for me since I treat all water going into the tank with Hydrogen Peroxide.

Planning 2months in Tassy saw all the well know tourist sights 3yrs ago. Looking for out of the way sights, drives, unusual things. Really find Tasmania to be a facinating place.

Hi Everyone, I'm struggling a bit with this decision and would value some input. I'll try to make it simple. We are looking to buy a Fiat Ducato Campervan. Either the 6 m or 6.4 m length.

I have a friend who lives in a caravan park in Sydney. He owns a caravan with a shower and toilet (can't be towed .... needs to be placed on a vehicle for removal). There's also an attached hard annex that's 3 x 5 metres, a carport, and a small shed ... all needing dismantling. He paid $29,000 for everything...

Sadly passed by another roll over today, about halfway between Camooweal and the Barkley Roadhouse on the Barkley Highway. Their Prado did not roll but the Jayco Expanda they were towing had definitely seen better days and was totaled. No one hurt which is very good news, but that's the end of their h...

I am often out of in...
