Before proceeding with my problem, this is my internet setup form the NBN NTD(access point) I run Cat6 cable to a gigabit WAN port on my router. This afternoon I lost internet connection, I re booted both the router and PC, then I rese...

Hi, just searched tow ball weight in old forums. It has been asked if you loaded your van heavier than the vans compliance tow ball weight but about 10% of gross weight but less than the tugs weight would it be legal ? One reply said yes . My question is, is this right ? I've been told if your van is over wei...

Hi, I need a better understanding of the basics of what is needed to use wiki camps on an android phone_ samsung s5. Do you need to download an offline maps program to use wiki without an internet connection ? I really have no idea how it all works, so if some knowlegable folks can sort me out I would greatly...

My 87 HB30 Diesel Coaster has suddenly developed an issue with loss of brake vacuum. Has any member experienced this problem. I assume that the brake booster diaphragm is at fault but understand that a faulty PCV valve can also be a cause. The Bus has brakes with the engine running and loses vacuum when...

Came home this afternoon and couldn't unlock the motorhome's door - mechanism appears to have jammed. The key will turn 180 degrees to where it would normally engage the slides, levers or whatever, but then won't budge. Didn't feel or hear anything abnormal when I locked it earlier. Door appears to b...

My question without notice (a political pun). How many panels could you fit on the roof of a standard 20' Van and can feed in portable panels into your little grid (my thinking on this is parking under a nice shady tree inhibits the sun) Use Solid Panels on rubber mounts or fixed mounts or are flexible pan...

Hi, I have a 2005 Millard Horizon van which has fluoro lights fitted (see photos). I want to change these to LEDs but am unsure of a suitable LED light replacement to use. Any forum readers replaced this type of fluoro tube? Any tips appreciated.

Has anyone been able to update their GPS mapping systems in an on-board GPS. I believe that it is done through a special CD (or DVD) reader connected to the system, which I think I have found.

I'm going to toss this in the ring and see what happens? Pondering over the design of our new van, I have almost come to the conclusion that recliner chairs just won't fit i.e. you can't from a practical sense fully recline (and go to sleep) in them. But I want more room. Our Jayco Swan camper trailer had a f...
