Saw this today, and thought I would pose the question - does this like good loading for a nice level trip?

We have a second hand ( possibly 3rd ) Van with all the gear required to view Foxtel except the dish and box which previous owners removed. We subscribe to foxtel and have installed our spare second box in the van but would appreciate info on which reasonably priced Dish is suitable. Caravan still has a m...

Why did god create man before he created woman? Because he didn't want any advice on how to do it.

A while back I bought a high-ish resolution video camera and, of course, once I did that I discovered all the other (expensive) things I needed to buy to "make the best use of it" - gadget creep. Anyway: one thing you really do need with video is a way to edit it and I've spent the past year trying different v...

I know you can pay people to drive your caravan from A to B, but I'm wondering if people ever do it for free - as a trip? Given plenty of time and use of the caravan would it be an attractive proposition? Lets say 2-3 weeks Perth to Melbourne (or whatever). I'm looking at a caravan in Perth (to buy). I'm in Tass...

Hi all Will need to pay my yearly caravan insurance and wonder if I should look at a different one. The one I am with depreciated the pay out figure by $6,000 in the first year. I really don't think caravans actually depreciate that much. I am with YOUI and I have to admit they have been very good with all ou...
