First question from me, and it's an absolute newbie question! If you stop just for one night, is it necessary to disengage the van from the car and balance up?

Driving With Dodgy Knees
(Preview)
I've got crook knees (meniscus damage from sport) and I'm not opting for surgery just yet. Does anyone else have bad knees, and if so, any home remedies? Best knee braces? Hint's, tips, etc? I don't want to turn this into a medical thread, just want ways to make the driving easier

Best road side assist service?
(Preview)
Hey there everyone, I realised that my road side assist expired after an interesting mishap to say the least and hoping to find what everyone else uses which may be cost affective and a good quality service. I'm in a motorhome in NSW. Thanks!

SHOCK ABSORBERS ON A DUAL AXLE LEAF SPRING CARAVAN
(Preview)
Following a broken spring recently, after travelling on some fairly rough roads in my 2013 Retreat Brampton, I feel it a good idea to add shock absorbers to the multiple leaf springs. Seems a good improvement to me that can only help.? But maybe there is a reason it was not done in the first place other th...

I notice when looking around caravan parks that about half the caravans have the stabiliser legs vertical and half have them on an angle. We always put them on an angle because; a) back in the 1980's our family caravan had wind down legs which slowly rotated to make an angle with the ground, and b) the dea...
