when booking into some CTP's they ask the length of van, it's a 19"6 or 6 metres, yes but how long is it..... Am I missing something or do they go by tow bar to spare wheel. Which is 25" or 8 metres . it is registered as a 19"6 so that's what I tell them cheers OMD

Hi Everyone , I am putting car sunvisors on some of the windows and need suction caps. I have been to bunnings and they have none. I have looked on ebay and can only be bought when you buy an item to go with them. Do you know where I can get them? thanks.

The outback can be a strange place especially when prospecting, make sure you always have permission to be on someone's patch [tenement] there are some unforgiving people out there.
