Gday... Man dies when caravan falls on him cheers - John

Has anyone travelled this route lately? I'm looking to travel this route early May pulling a 17.5ft poptop and was wondering what this road was like? Any camping spots on route or how have you found the National Parks? Regards Michael

A member has queried this in a previous thread and I have replied accordingly to him. I thought I would start a new thread to advise RACV members of the new additional option for those towing larger vans/motorhomes. This obviously comes at an additional cost to your membership. It is my understandi...

We took possession of our new van today Does anyone recognise this solar controller so we can download the use manual, we are not to sure what the buttons do Cheers

Hi. Tossing up wether to get into the 'go north young man' thing for winters. I'm in Tassie, quasi retired after having cancer treatment last year. Feel an imposter as I'm not grey, but I was going grey. After chemo it grew back with no grey! Bonus. First - tossing up wether caravanning or campering (?)...

We are new at solar panels. We're buying a new van with 1 panel on top, but are wondering if we can also use our portable panels when van is in shade or there is not much sun. Thanks.

We have just sold our Windsor Rapid and are looking to purchase something a bit bigger to travel around Australia. We have been told that anything above 22ft is too big as most caravan sites wont have big enough sites. Can any one advice me otherwise? We have seen a 25ft Caravan that we really like but are...

A Caravanner had an accident on River St Ballina morning of 24Apr2018. Our story was, we were cut off and had no choice but to brake hard and hit the other driver in the rear end. In most cases, people will say then, you must be at fault. However the other driver zoomed up the inside lane, failed to give way...

I am always amazed when I hear women say "My husband does all the towing" or "He won't let me drive with the caravan on". Or men say "My wife can't manage it" Do you share the towing? How does it work in your travels?

I have noticed that the rubbers are getting fairly degraded on my van I would like to restore as best I can. Replacing myself would be too much for me and I guess it would be expensive to take in to repair shop. Help much appreciated. Cheers Mim

I have one well n truly knackered house battery and need a replacement. Has anyone got any recommendations about brands? The old one was an AMP-TECH (120AH) and appears to be from the original build of the caravan so that would make it between 8 & 9 years old so that may be as good a recommendation as I...

A lot of adverts for these keep popping up. Are they legal and used at all? Aussie Paul.

Hi All We now have our van and have done 2 short trips. The 2 caravan parks I picked had no tv reception. The one just out off Ballina did have cabling for every caravan so we did have tv the one at Wooli did not an no one with a normal caravan set up had tv. So I am batting 100% this is ok for me as I am happy having a w...

The event was held at the Glen Innes Show Grounds with camping, great weekend but this year it was very cold. We still enjoyed the weekend camping at the showgrounds meeting some other happy campers.

A very pretty young speech therapist was getting absolutely nowhere with her Stammerer's Action Group. She had tried every technique in the book, but still they stammered and stuttered. Finally, totally exasperated, she said; "If any of you can tell me where you were born, without stuttering, I w...
