In preparation for my extended trip coming up in the near future, I have been looking at purchasing a portable grey water tank for use in those areas that designates the van must be self contained. I have an internal shower and toilet but no grey water tank as such. I have looked at a few and thought about a...

A year or two back I registered with the Australian Electoral Commission as an "Itinerant" voter which mainly means I am not required by law to vote - although I retain the right to vote. I wish to vote at the forthcoming election and after fruitlessly combing the AEC website phoned them, this is the res...

I've had to replace two clearance lights (the small orange ones) within three months of each other, one on each side of the van. The van is only three years old. I had a previous van for ten years and never changed one. What have others experienced?

at the local park some 8km's round trip away. Got the bike and dog trailer, and am using the wifi of a tourist whom will be here for a month. Have set this camp up for a long stay, hoping I can have it here for at least 3 months maybe more. Have been wanting to do long term camping in our Wild Country tent, and a 5...

I found some really good videos on various road trips on You Tube. I find that most of the ones I have watched before all seem to revolve around some clown thinking he is a media star accompanied by the wife that talks through her nose and the kids named Therryn and Constance. These ones I have been watchin...

Hello all, Has anyone with a Windsor Seka Pop Top changed their 3 way Dometic fridge to a VitriFrigo 150i compressor unit? We are having a cooling system blockage in the Dometic for the second time and seeing as we will not be using the caravan for free camping we feel a compressor unit is the way to go. Ple...

Given her budget, is looking at a 13foot model from Fantasy - tare weight 1800, ATM 2750, ball weight 210. This one seems to have reasonable storage and comes with an impress...

I'm looking at buying 200W to 300W of solar blanket but it appears to be a minefield. E-bay feedback on many vendors strongly suggest they are simply lying about the blanket's output often suggesting twice, or more!, what the blanket is capable of.

I am genuinely puzzled as to how vehicle manufacturers determine the (braked) towing capacity of their models. Here are some examples which, to my mind, are inconsistent and/or contradictory:- 2008 Mitsubishi 380 - kerb weight 1,665 kgs - engine power 175 kw / 343 nm - towing capacity 1,600 kgs 2...

I've just switched my phone to a Woolworth plan simply because they are offering a 10% discount on shopping once a month. I have been a Woolworth shopper for years and prefer them to Coles and they are generally one hell of a lot cheaper than IGAs; I spend around $400 to $500 per month on food (I eat well :) )...
