Even with the plethora of threads on forums about weights etc there still appears to be widespread confusion amongst vanners as to correct weights and weight terminology. So I thought I'd run a short Poll to see how far the forum has come in educating the members. Please just answer the questions True...

How much stuff can you pack into a 17' caravan and 4x4? We have started to pack for our trip north, we catch the ferry on Tuesday evening. With the amount of gear being carried outside, I am of the opinion that it would be easier to put wheels on the unit. We have to carry winter stuff for the south, summer stu...

We have just purchased a second hand Jayco Stirling Outback van from Evernew in Melb. The handover from the dealer was non-existant and we have a couple of question we'd like to ask the previous owner.
