I am planning a quick 3-4 week journey from Sydney South West, down the South Coast and return, and am seeking suggestions for those "must see" places to park my "on road" caravan.

Hi, camping at Boomi Caravan park, NSW, great spot, BUT I cannot believe that someone ?? could empty their toilet cassette into the salt bush garden hedge growing around the edge of park.

Just come back from Tassie after purchasing a 2008 Jayco Conquest. Everything good except I'm not sure about operation of the gas hot water service and how to get it going. It's built into a cupboard by the ensuite. Does it run off gas bottles or does it have it's own gas? Have books but can't find anyt...

Hello everyone. I searched the website for this information but could not find what was relevant. The white rubber seal between the pop-top and the van's body has become quite blackened (for whatever reason, perhaps neglect on my part) and I would dearly like to clean it and restore it back to its righ...

Hospital was only 1km from the hotel so I was to walk there and wife would pick me up. About an hour after arriving, wife fell over...

One of the things I really like about caravanning is the outdoor lifestyle. Not relying on all those electronic gadgets until you are actually trying to get off to sleep (TV, iPad, iPhone). Having a chat, a drink or three, a wander around the campsite. I found this item quite true. http://www.9news....
