We have just driven south along the Bruce Hway between Gympie and Caboulture and were a bit surprised by the number of RVs heading north. Over one short stretch of 6km and 3.79minutes we counted 17 mostly caravans. Most of them must be over-nighting in CPS because the rest areas are coping OK. We stoppe...

Someone told me that the portable gas butane stoves you can buy from Coles, Crazy Clarks etc have been banned in Western Australia, South Australia and New South Wales. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

I am a new owner of a 21' caravan and have been searching for a good caravan cover. There are so many to choose from, most of them claiming to be the best, so I thought it be wise to ask the forum members which ones would be best to consider. Any suggestions? Thanks Kurt

I have had two reversing cameras that have stopped working on my caravan after a couple of months of use. I run them constantly when driving and am thinking they may be burning out. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks Nage

Thought I would let everyone know that the Gin Gin Show Grounds (King St) west of Bundaburg QLD not only is a great place to stay with friendly caretakers etc but now has a Dump Point. It is located next to the mens toilets. It wasn't here when I stayed last year unless I missed it of course.

Hello all - I am having trouble with the drainage hose on my grey water tank. It is leaking where it joins onto the tank so I am thinking I will have to buy a new hose and perhaps a new tap. Could someone please advise me as to what I need to buy and also the best place to buy it from. Thank you in advance.
