We will be taking delivery of our first van from the dealer in October does anyone have any recommendations on insurance companies to go with.

I have put off adding this to the list because it is not cheap. Just the cheapest in town. $25 per night inc. power. Amenities are old & dodgy but very clean. At the tourist info center staff showed us a sign behind the counter telling staff to not send people there unless they had "working dogs&...

I could put this in with the other thread about carrying extra fuel, but that would be stealing the post. I have a tray top ute, and under the tray, I would have room to install a 60 litre diesel tank. I don't want to have to carry jerry cans, as diesel fuel is smelly and messy at its best. Perth a while ago was o...

I have had a situation when on a wet road a car pulled out in front of me, the...

Hi all We have an adria 662up caravan and a steep driveway. My husband has to build a ramp every time we take the van out or bring it home. He has been doing this for about five years now and the ramp is getting to heavy for him. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a light weight alternative....

I'm only 55 but I'm ready to see the vastness of this great country but not sure which way to go; Would welcome advice about purchasing the entire unit, from all experienced travellers: I do NOT want to tow anything (I lost an uncle towing a caravan); I am only interested in basic motorhomes (new or used)...

Hello fellow nomads. My name is Pauline and my better half is Joe. We are retiring at the end of the year (yay) and we have just bought a 2014 22' caravan and are busy at the moment getting to know it on our front lawn.

Most people know that Carp are the scourge of inland streams especially on Qld...they are so bad that if you catch one you are not allowed to kill it and throw the carcass back in, you must bury it. We even have a group up here called "Carpbusters". However, I am told that apparently in foreign...

I would like to hear what really is necessary to do to the suspension, (air bags, lift kits, up grade suspension etc) Also i would like some recommendations on buying Bull bars, winches, and accessories etc. From where or who and what. I am from Sunshine coast area.

Further to my question re carrying spare fuel. What about spare parts? Have a spare tyre for tug and spare for van is that enough?, what about spare filters,light bulbs,fuses...the mind boggles as my mates all suggest that I carry a spare this and a couple of spare thats etc etc. I will be a mobile servic...
