I bought a 2x2mt awning for my car after my first solo trip to give, but I find it to awkward to put up and take down on my own. So I've only used it on the odd occasion I have company. The hardest part is trying to roll it back up it's just to heavy. Any suggestions Cheers Lucy

I am looking at buying a Sunliner Trex for myself as I do not need anything too big. I thought a full size motorhome would be too stressful as I am on my own. Does anyone own one and if so what are your thoughts or do you have any changes that you would have made in hindsight?

Hi everyone, as soon as I can find someone to stay at and look after my place down here on the S/W corner, I intend travelling north towards the warmth. I choose to travel fairly light in a 4WD, with a few toys and creature comforts and solar powered everything. When passing towns along the way, I sometime...

I don't have a reversing camera, and my car has poor visability. It's really hard to see what's going on at the rear of the car, so finding the hitch on my own has always been sketchy. I could get it within 1 or 2 ft (getting in and out of the car to check), then I used the ratchet jockey wheel to bring it the rest...
