Hi all ... we are starting our Coaster bus conversion. Never done anything like this before. We will be travelling with our greyhound and our whippet, and I need room for a wee office, so space will be tight. I had the idea of having our bed on a pulley system with our lounge underneath, and high enough...

Hi We are planning to travel the GRR next year. We have allowed a month for the trip and would like to travel without booking accommodation. As we would like to travel without the pressure to be at the next stop within a certain time frame. Or should we book accommodation?

I am about to take my caravan to a local welding guy to have an additional jockey wheel clamp attached. Should the caravan house battery be disconnected before any welding is done? Thanks.

Hi All, I am a keen boater, and want to take my dinghy with me on a proposed 12mth plus trip next year. At the waterhole at Camooweal recently I saw a Corker Camper, which was a large caravan with a dinghy and trailer inserted in the rear. Would appreciate any info as I've drawn a blank with my searches T...

We are all told that the tow vehicle should be at least 10% heavier than the van we are towing and I don't doubt that for one moment. What I would like to know is the scientific reason a semi trailer prime mover can be less in weight that its trailer let alone with a B-Double or a Road Train. Just curious.
