Good Evening Fellow adventurers, My Wife and I have (after much consideration) decided to buy a good used motor home. Ideally we would spend no more than $50,000 and hopefully purchase something that was reasonably economical to run. As complete novices we look to you experienced nomads to advise u...

Now I know it's very pleasant sitting around a small fire or a "chuffer" chewing the fat and putting the world to rights, but why do some morons have to get so carried away and build bonfires bigger than Ben Hur ? Just over nighted at Nerren Nerren rest area in NW WA and two camper trailers came in and procee...

On my soapbox again.Once again, the Budget still doesnt address the rich paying no personal income tax, just like previous budgets from either sides of politics.

It's a 2003 model, petrol automatic transmission (although I was looking for a diesel), and I'm wondering if there is anyone on this forum that either has one, or has any knowledge of one. I'm planning on becomm...

OK, I know a lot don't like generators, but here's a question I haven't seen answered anywhere else.
