Hello nomads. Has anyone bought anything through R.V.S Australia? Their prices seem waaaay below the going price for motorhomes. Wondering if they're legit. Cheers

I am considering fitting a DO35 v3 tow hitch to my caravan for better off road towing and also so I can open the back door on my Pajero! I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has one fitted and can tell me of its merits or otherwise. Thanks. -- Edited by ZacnEllie3 on Monday 11th of November 2019 09...

I have never been fond of the plastic rear end so I'm thinking it's time for a modification or three. Has anyone had a s...

Spent one night at this place recently. There were probably 200 RVs here. I took pics of 4 of the 6 RVs that were close to us. 2 minutes later there was a pool a metre wide. Cheers, Peter -- Edited by Peter_n_Margaret on Tuesday 24th of August 2021 08:38:13 AM

Just bought our second campervan. First time around was a Mercedes Sprinter and this time a cheaper, smaller Mazda E2000. It comes with a solar panel that can attach to some brackets on the roof but the seller said she'd kept it loose in the van and just plugged it in when she stopped. Question is; what do...
