How often have you said I wish I had this or that in my MH or Caravan ? I really need a diesel heater, or I wish I had a reversing camera, or that I'd put an extra power point somewhere. What is it you would most like to add to your existing MH or Caravan ? If we can get a few people to post, maybe we can all get a few id...

Just an update for you as it appears everyone thinks they have free washing machines. This is not correct as council have removed and replaced with coin operated.

Trying to travel along the coast of Queensland and have found it hard to stay in nice pet friendly parks. Golden Beach Caloundra is the outstanding exception. Friendly to humans and dogs.

I see that today's GN story is about two accidents over the long weekend involving caravans and sway. Such incidents occur far too often. By the same token, a lot of GNs on the forum have been towing a rig for many years and many thousands of kilometres without incident, so what's their secret?
