Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading my motorhome to 5.2 tonne. I've checked with the dealer to confirm that it can be done and tried to work out the cost on the RMS website, but found it very confusing. Can with a NSW registered motorhome of that GVM tell me how much they are paying, please?

Hi all has anyone with a bt50 changed the multimedia for the Polaris system with the 8" screen and if so are you happy with it. I'm thinking of doing it as it has the reversing screen in one and the 4x4 mapping so I haven't got screens all over the windscreen. geoff

The 40 litre trundle tank is a little heavy to lift on the ute though and needs a handle at the wheels end. We went through too much water, and will need to conserve mo...
