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.

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.

Since looking for photos for the photo comp, wow how it brings back memories of all the places we have been to and how lucky we are to be able to still do it.I can't wait for us to get on the road again this week. I think the joy of traveling is meeting some of the wonderful charictors we meet on the road
