Hi, Is it just me or are there a lot of nosy people out there who feel the need to watch every move you make? I am alone most of the time and I find it unsettling to say the least when I am out side cleaning up or stretching my legs and I can hear the people inside the van follow you as you walk past their van and back...

I would be interested in any info on how the company handles warranty issues and general after sales service. If I purchase a BT I will be a long way from the factory and getting it back to fix up any defects wou...

I would like to tint our caravan windows darker but from articles I have read there appears to be a problem having this done. Some of the comments say that it is against the law in some states others say that iy cracks or bubbles in the heat. Love to hear others opinions or even another way of having privacy...

8 months working in the Gulf got me this nice new tug - it's unbelievable how much easier it makes towing our 2.8T loaded van after my previous Pajero Sport. It cruised on 100ks all day on the freeway (Newcastle to Coffs Harbour and back) and used between 15ltrs and 16ltrs/100kms. I could have gone quick...
