I have finally given up on the 12 pin flat plug and fitted a large 7 pin round plug (and socket) and an Anderson plug and socket. I was wondering why there doesn't seem to be a weatherproof cap for the round plug, but there is for both the 7 pin round and Anderson sockets and the Anderson plug. Has anyone out t...

Just wondering if any of you experienced travellers could give me any ideas or suggestions of the most interesting route from Sydney to the Alice and return. Towing a 20ft van which is not a off-roader so will be stuck to the tar - not literally I hope. Thanks guys. Pommyroy

Has the free Australian attractions guide "Australia Free " been published yet? Someone said it was due to be published sometime back. Has anyone seen it or know the name of the author or anything about it. Sounds like a great guide. KB

My husband and I have decided to sell up and travel around Australia over the next 12 months (or as long as it takes). Whilst we are embracing the idea of minimisation (having lived in a large home for many years) we are considering what sort of wheels to buy to embark on this epic journey. The 5th wheele...

We urgently need to sell our 2014 Concept Ascot SX 22' van. We have tried several caravan selling sites but to no avail. Some dealers have told us it will be hard to sell because of the high price bracket ($75K). Would be grateful for any suggestions.
