I am considering redoing my genset box on the A frame BUT it is difficult to keep the WDH chains vertical. I thought (now that's a worry) I read somewhere that there are different lengths of the WDH bars. I cannot seem to find that info now. Tried the HR website. Aussie Paul.

Good morning all, I checked "search" but only brought up brake controllers. Just wondering if people leave the brake away cable connected to the VAN at all times and only disconnect at the car when set up at the camp site or at home. I saw a stretchy cable with clip on the car end to make for ea...

I would like to workout how long my battery will discharge itself before a recharge is needed. I have dual NS70ZZ batteries running as a 24v setup and am planning to run my caravan lighting from these while free camping. I have a Landcruiser 80 Series and wary of flattening the batteries.

Can someone tell me how often a diesel heater has to have the burner cleaned out - de sooted. Just spoke to an installer and he was I think saying burners even have to be replaced. Dometic about $30.00 some of the others Hundreds of Dollars and some cheaper models can't get parts for. Len :)

Was just in Big W and they had a big row of the 220gm gas canisters for the small cookers which are labelled as being safe to use with cookers etc and comply with the relevant regulations. I wonder if this means we can come out of the shadows and start cooking with gas again? Good Luck

Hi everyone Paul and I would like to flat tow a Suzuki Jimny but we have heard that certain modifications need to be made to this vehicle before it can be. So my question is what type of modifications need to be done i.e. does it need a dog clutch. Thanks in advance Debbie and Paul

Hi Guy's A battery question for you experts. I had a second battery in the back of my 2000 Navara till some enterprising person twisted the handles on my rear canopy window to open it (yes it was locked)and just helped themselves to the battery along with some other stuff. My fridge happily was in...

Hi all lets set this electrical hubbub straight. 1. 240 volts from our power points has a fluctuating voltage/current that will send your heart into ventricular fibrillation if you stay connected. Please remember that if you grab hold of a live wire you will not be able to let go. This will KILL you!...

G'Day, I decided to kill some surface rust on my box trailer so sanded the rust and applied Killrust brand fishoil as this is the stuff that has stood the test of time. However, after 10 days it still feels sticky to the touch....not real sticky, just too sticky to overcoat with an oil based enamel. It h...

We have an Avan poptop and want to take an Ozent on the back. The rear bumper bar can pull out so we thought we'd get a poly pipe with ends and secure it there.
