We are thinking about doing a trip to the UK next august and maybe hiring a motorhome to explore in. Just wondering if anybody else on the forum has done the UK this way recently and can tell us what the situation is with free camping as we do here in oz.

Hi, So hubby was on a site last night and they recommended that you use RV toilet paper in your rig. Do you use this? as opposed to the normal one. I had not heard of it at all. The other thing they mentioned was an RV toildet brush. That got me that one, I thought a toilet brush was a toilet brush,...

Hi all just a quick question, is it better to have regulator in van close to batteries on portable panels or on panels? Burgo

Hi Guys. I have a 2014 Isuzu DMax SX diesel auto with 76K on the clock. The van we tow weighs in loaded at about 2800kg and with us and the bits in the ute, we come in under spec weight. Tow ball weight varies, but around 120-130kg. We have probably done about 30K towing the van. I get it serviced according...

I know this has been discussed previously so I will take a different approach, I know it costs a lot more to own and run a caravan park on the coast and near major cities where as country parks are not as expensive to either stay in or to own. For people like us who only stay in caravan parks or showgrounds its...

Had me foxed , called into Jayco Griffith, the guys pulled out the fuse board and found a wire had vibrated off th...

I read with interest the recent topic and comments in remapping, i have no idea what this ia or what it involves, but what got my attention was that it also "tweaks" gear changes. The important thing seems to be to go to someone who really knows what they are doing. So the question, does anyone know of som...

Greetings to all. My first time on the forum, I start with a question and also look forward to any useful input which I can give. i have a 2015 Jayco Silverline, 21.63 layout. I need to get behind the fridge so I can re wire all the stereo, TV etc put new cables in as the set up that Jayco had was not that good. I n...

Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum. Hubby is retiring in a couple of months and we are going to be taking off on our big adventure. Currently talking about a 12 month trip, although I wouldn't be surprised if we don't last that long. We haven't even purchased the van yet. Still doing our research....

but really looking forward to it. This will be our first time in Aus...
