OK I did a search and nothing really came up. I read on some post on the net that these vents really let the heat through. Can anyone give me feed back on their windows and vents pluses and minuses.

I have a problem opening the rear door of my tow vehicle due to the handle height of the hitch. I asked a caravan service place what can be done and was told about hitch-Ezy.

gday gang. We have a thetford cassette toilet, over the past 2 years it has a build up of scale on the sides of the cassette. Is there a cheaper way of removing this muck without having to buy the thetford product, which I'm told from other forums doesn't work. My thinking is CLR or vinegar and let it sit f...
