We are looking to buy a new 40 litre (or there abouts) portable fridge for our travels and would like to hear from anyone about their experiences regarding make, amp draw etc. We are quite interested in the Engel MR40F 38L, but have also been looking online and have seen a Giant 45L....

I have recently retired my ED falcon tug. The replacement is an auto BF falcon futura. I have a question for anyone that may be using a similar vehicle as a tug. Did you have to add or alter the transmission oil cooler. The reason I ask is because 3 mechanics have given me 3 conflicting pieces of advice. So...

Hi, if I said I was contemplating adding shock absorbers to our 1999 Jayco Masport Poptop what would you say? ??Waste of money ?? Can't be done ??

I mean I'm sitting in RV on a station in Pardoo WA. Way the hell over here .. Yet with in seconds I post this I can get a reply . If I told someone about this 10 - 20 years I would be laughed at . Especially if I said it would be sent from phone the size of a small note book .. I've had my engine race tuned in Sydney and t...

Most will be familiar with the so called marriage saver...the Couplemate. Well I guess it does make hooking up the van a bit more stress free but a problem is that the adaptor plate that attaches to the towbar tongue can allow the towball nut to loosen when a hockey stick or similar WDH is used. This see...

We recently purchased a Dec. 2015 Jayco Journey and today I noticed a problem with the towball weights on the VIN plate. The empty ball weight is stated as 104Kg but the max ball weight is stated as 152Kg. The 48Kg appears to be 10% of the payload. I contacted the dealer about the problem and it seems Jayco...
