We were planning to free camp at Yarramalong Weir or Bowenville Reserve, both which are great spots but the water was muddy and flowing too fast for the grandkids to swim safely. So as we were on the ro...

Hi, does anybody know any interesting routes to take for 1-2 weeks from the Coffs Harbour/Urunga area, taking in different roads, not just up and down the coastal track? Also would be nice if we could keep company with some other caravanners on such a circuit. Thank you Burrawong

Over the last few months I have looked at our van and thought(dangerous) it is looking rather tired (14 years old). So it is happening. We have just pulled the vinyl of the floor, thanks to my hair dryer, which nearly was sent to the op shop as dont use it very often. Some of the film has lifted but we are goi...

I presume if the van is on the lot and been there some time then the dealer would want to move it given the floor plan finance but what sort of mark down can one expect on a new va...
