I did a "Search" on this subject but could not see any results. Has anyone have a more off-road coupling fitted to their van than the standard on-road unit? Previously both on my camper trailer & Jayco Eagle (O-back) I had the Treg hitch fitted. I'm now kicking myself that I did not remove the coupli...

Hi Grey Nomads, Our campervan is due a service, before our next trip away, and we are thinking a mobile repairer would be more cost effective than the last place we took our van too. It was our first service on a new Campervan and cost us $300!!! Can anyone recommend a mobile service/repairer? Thanks...

Guys is there such a thing or a site that identifies caravan sites that take large vans? Our Retreat van is 31' from tow ball to the back of the spare Tier. Big learning when the distributor tells you the overal length will be 26' don't believe them . Any way onward with a 31 'van. Any ideas of a site or book...

Am parked alongside a nice lake with room for at least a hundred vans. Only a couple or other vans here, both parked 200 meters away. Then in comes a backpacker, 2 blokes in a car and parks very close by in front of my van. I was still able to get my tug in to hook up the van so I said nothing. A few minutes later a w...

Took this photo some years back whilst on holidays going through Victoria. The photos I took after it was at Lakes Entrance but I can't remember exactly where it is or the name of the bridge. It's an old railway bridge. We were driving along the highway, saw a sign and thought let's have a look. Dirt r...

Hi all. We are new to all this stuff so please be patient with me. We are about to purchase a new van to set up for long term touring. ( not sure which one yet, got it down to 3.) as far as power supply. 1 has an andersen plug, and a 7 pin plug. another has a 12 pin plug and an andersen plug. the third only has the 1...

I have one of praise that will be taken to my grave. The day I took an impossible shot at a rabbit with open sights with a .22 and had a head shot! It was over a gully at some incredible distance. One shot and the rabbit never moved. Dad was a pessimist and said we will see when we do the paddock! Got there,...

Victorians are being warned to expect flash flooding, infrastructure damage and power outages as storms intensify across the state today. See What's the weather like...... Top of this page K.J.

A couple of weeks ago after returning from a trip I posted my concern about the van swaying on the return journey without any crosswind, the difference between the outward and the return trips had been that I had reduced the tyre pressure in the rear tyres on the way home. I have just returned from a trip t...

EATING IN THE FIFTIES and SIXTIES Pasta was not eaten in Australia. Curry was a surname. A takeaway was a mathematical problem. A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower. All potato crisps were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the salt on or not. Rice was only eaten as a m...

Hi, is the Armidale Road from Grafton to Armidale via Coutts Crossing and Clouds Creek. Is it ok for a 7 metre long 2 wheel drive motorhome, or is there a better safer way to get to Armidale from Ballina ?
