G'day everyone, Have just come across a site that has a mini solar hot water system for vans and RV's - does anyone have this kind of system? I ask because the price of LPG is getting exxy, and I have the little 4.5 kg bottles that cost as much as 9 kg bottles. I'm also considering getting someone to make the...

Hi all , I bought a pair of Sirrocco 12v fans for our van and was fitting them yesterday , I piggybacked them off the 12v lighting in the bedroom that way I could conceal any wiring . I spoke to the manufacturers sparky and he said if he were retro fitting the fans then he'd do the same . The wiring on the bac...

Hi, I am just doing some research regarding Avan Cruiseliner or Bush Pack Aliner Campers and the do's & don'ts when considering them as an towing option. All I know about them is that they are lightweight( 650kg) and easy to put up and tow. However some say they are not meant for 'off road' drivin...

A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son's house. She knocked on the door then immediately walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume filled the room. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm waiting fo...

Gday... A recent post regarding the fitment of a WDH prompted my memory of a very good article by Collyn Rivers. This is the link and it is well worth the read. I know the majority of members are quite probably very conversant with WDH and its uses. However, it is never too late to reacquaint oneself with g...

G'day all. I have often wondered about common sense. On this forum and others, do we all assume that we should have common sense about caravanning? Common sense can be defined as sense that is common among the people doing a common task. Can someone who is new to a task or something like caravan...

Probably should end up in Techies spot, but a good place to start with a wide audience. My Laptop of less than 4 years old died. Toshiba brand. If you have a Toshiba laptop, don't bother trying to get it repaired. They stopped production and support of any laptops mid 2016. I tried three outlets and...
