It maybe my imagination, but since I have been a member, the members on here seem to be putting up more and more threads which are just a link to another web site, but not including any of their own content at all.

We are in Ballina, wanting to head to Glen Innes, Tamworth on way south, towing 22ft caravan. Don't mind travelling south on Pacific Highway to cross over to New England if it means less mountainous and windy road. In no hurry to get there.

Hi all, We are thinking of buying a new Toyota Land Cruiser and as part of our searching for reviews are getting mixed information. We would like to ask for honest opinions from anyone out there who has a Cruiser how many litres per 100 you get when towing a caravan and not towing a caravan. Also informati...

Gday... I was sitting under my awning, enjoying the warm early morning sun and a cuppa, and I noticed that my camp had had some visitors during the night. Sprinkled throughout the grass was the evidence. Little black balls of rabbit droppings and some larger ones left by the grazing roos. As I was admir...

Not really keen on staying in Caravan Parks being squashed and living in the neighbours lap, but the closest National Park I can find is about 45kl away, does anyone know of any places to stay closer to the Gold Coast we are planning on meeting up with our daughter in town for a few days in June.

Hi Guys, I want to a buy either a towing rope or snatch strap just in case I need to be towed for what ever reason or get bogged. I don't want cheap or high cost. Any ideas, looked at Dyneema rope but think it will be at premium price also not sure what would be a suitable length. Thanks John.

hi all, just been told I need a Cpap, there are apparently 3 subsidized options, rezmed, Phillips and fisher and paykel. I am sure that they are all good, but has anyone got a comparison on 12 volt power consumption, thanks in advance.

Hi, I know the Eyre Peninsula water is a little suspect, but are we unwise to attach the Streaky Bay town water to our caravan, considering the water heater, toilet etc. John
