Have just fitted a new roll out awning, replacing one which suffered badly from sun damage and disintegrated. Not wanting to have it happen again, I want to know how you protect your vinyl awnings. Ours was washed with mild detergent and vinegar regularly to remove dirt and dust, but I think there is a p...

We have bought a 1991 Coromal Lowline Poptop which has had the fridge replaced. The cabin and outside lights do not work on 12 volt but the fridge does. Where can I get a 12 volt wiring diagram to trace where the light wires come from. This was the only low poptop that would fit under our garage roof. Thanks...

Hi all. I am heading to Barossa in early November. I was going to free camp at Greenock Reserve. In Camps 8 it states 24 hours. Bugger, I wanted to stay 3 nights. Does anyone know how strict they are ? If they charge a "small fee" surely it wouldn't matter staying 3 nights as long as it isn't packed ?
