Been reading through some American RV forums and found it interesting so far to find no mention of diesel heaters as we know it. They have all sorts of heat pumps, underfloor heating and others, but the good ol' diesel heater seems yet to be discovered by the mainstream. Diesel heating is quite cheap an...

I have a faulty fan which I am trying to remove, however getting the two retaining screws out is proving somewhat problematic. The screw heads will not protrude proud of the fan to enable me to pull / prise them out. I have previously taken the fan down and don't recall having any problems. Any ideas?...

Reason for question is that we cannot hook up 240v to cool fridge before we set off on a trip as it is parked in a storage yard. So when we hook up to the tug and drive off I would like to get the 12v working. I vaguely rem...

Traveling dog owners would do well to read this article on the ABC news site. There are moral as well as legal obligations involved. "Many people may be surprised to discover that a dog attack is actually classed as a property dispute, as dogs are considered personal property under the law as distinct...

Just read in the reviews on WikiCamps about the people who are overstaying in the Cann River Free park there. These are the sort of people that get these places Closed Down. It reads that they have taken over the area and unfortunately nothing gets done until it's too late and the rest of us then miss out o...
