Diesel heater into compact Motorhome space
(Preview)
Has anyone fitted a 12v diesel heater into a fairly small compact place in their motorhome? How was this experience and what brand/model did you use? Would you recommend it? I am not looking to fit it myself and will be paying someone to do the job for me. Interested in your experiences. Cheers, Wayne

Where Do You Park Your Campervan (RV) when not in use?
(Preview)
Another Newbie question, sorry. I guess the reason I ask, is that I drive a 22 year old car, that still goes great. A Lexus ES300 I bought new. It's been garaged since new, so maybe that has helped keep it in good order. But a Campervan? That's not going to fit in the garage! Not even in the back/front yard...

Terminology, confusing, yes, but it doesn’t have to be.

I read a topic which yet again was closed because of the usual pissing contest. The argument appeared to be a discrepancy in terminology. My suggestion is. The term GCM or Gross Combination Mass is the heading on the compliance plate which informs everyone what the maximum weight that the vehicle may...

I have always thought that tap water in Australia was safe. Even if the taste was awful. It seems that's not so in the Northern Territory. Where else is this happening. A lot of places rely on bore water. NT Laramba residents consider further court action as absence of safe water laws problematic -...
