In my van I have what is I think called an L shaped seat and table with foam cushions and back. I usually don't use the inside seating unless I am using the computer or eating inside because of the weather. Anyway, after months of thinking that the seating was uncomfortable I toddled along to a local uphol...

Hi all, I have a 2020 Isuzu D Max Dual Cab Ute LSM which has Line Detection. I found that "YES" it has it's advantages and is there for a safety purpose. However I did personally find it annoying whist driving more so when towing. I do accept that it is a personal choice as to whether as an owner you like it or...

Hi Folks, I'm thinking of hiring a campervan in Tassie for a week quite soon. The same size as the one in my Avatar. But "she who must be obeyed" is designed for hot climates and will freeze! So I'm trying to think of something we could take with us, on a plane, that would take the chill off at night. Gas...

Hi Could anyone advise where I might acquire a couple of these hubcaps. They are 150mm diameter. Tyre fitter broke the lugs off when fitting new tyres. I have searched the internet but no luck as yet. Thank you Des -- Edited by desertfox on Saturday 6th of August 2022 02:31:28 PM

ACT has just banned new gas connections in homes from next year. As you have probably found out, it is getting more difficult to get gas bottles refilled over the last few years. Will they phase out Swap & Go as well? What about gas for at home BBQ's ? Now, I am open minded about climate change an...

I have a later D Max and am thinking about replacing the 4 tyres. Most kilometres travelled are whilst towing a van. Also the most time it is on the black tar. I am after recommendations of tyres and brands etc. I also do not want tyres that seem too noisy on the road. On my previous tow vehicle I used a set of...

I find it difficult at times to apply the clip to secure down the top of my Coromal Navigator camper trailer. The thread on clamp would be perfect. If it was just 20 or 20 cm longer. Life would be much easier. Has anyone else had this experience?

There is another way to grey nomad. A trailer sailer can provide both a caravan on land and free water view camping. Very occasional use of a caravan park means you can grab a better long shower and do your laundry if needed whilst generally saying goodbye to overcrowded campsites and funds draining ca...
