Hi all, I fitted a gas only 23L Atwood water heater to my bus a few years ago. It has always been blowing the thermal fuse for no apparent reason. Nothing seems to have overheated. Has anybody had this problem or know what the cause may be. cheers

Hi, haven't been online for a while. Here are a few roos ! in watercolour.

We are looking at buying our first motorhome on a car licence. We are looking for advice on which type of motorhome to buy. We are interested in buying an Avida Ceduna brand new with the electric drop down bed with an Iveco chassis. The other option we have is Avan Ovation M5 with the drop down bed. Major pr...

Living on a rural block we have seen our fair share of creatures, at the moment after all the rain we have an influx of insects drawn to the windows at night which attract the frogs to eat the insects, then along comes the Frog Mouth Owl to eat the frogs. We managed to take a photo, he is a regular visitor and a...

We are looking for a 4x4 to tow behind our motor home with a Blue Ox and find it very complicated. We didn't want the Suzuki Vitara as the fuel consumption is considerably high. We like the look of the Kea Sportage (older model) and even though Blue Ox and Road Master both sell base plates to suit, we can fin...

I bought my caravan 2nd hand and was pleased that it included a 15A Ctek charger under the bed to charge the onboard battery(ies) when connected to 240V. Noticed fairly recently that it was a bit noisy but then next time I checked it was quiet (still running). Just found out that the charger now will not t...

I installed an Anderson plug at the rear of my tug some time ago, it is connected to the battery via a circuit breaker and heavier gauge cable, this feeds the camper fridge only when travelling. Today I traded the camper on a newish camper (5 months old) which I pick up next month. The new camper is also fit...

We are looking at buying a wall kit for our dometic roll out awning. Currently considering the Coast Awning Wall Kit $1320. Are there any suggestions/opinions regarding this one or other brands?

Hi everybody, I am a new poster to this forum. We are considering driving the Gibb River Road next June/July and would welcome any advice/tips. Our rig is a Toyota Landcruiser 200 series, with a Sunland Patriot offroad van. This is our first big trip and we are very new to caravanning. Thanks in advanc...

A couple on an African Safari witnessed a small antelope being chased down by a cheetah. While the kill was about to happen before their eyes, the husband casually remarked, Ill bet the antelope gets away. The wife answered, If that antelope survives this one, Ill give you sex every day for the rest o...

Most GN's probably don't give a 2nd thought to phone directories so they may not know that the latest issues are printed in China. The quality is about the same as Australian printed ones. Some will say that it was inevitable but that begs the question why did we allow it to happen. I really think we are...

I was standing at the bar one night, minding my own business. This plump ugly chick came up behind me, grabbed my ass and said, "You're kind of cute. You gotta phone number?"I said, "Yea, you gotta pen?"She said, "Yea, I got a pen".I said, "You better get back in it before the farmer misses you." Cos...

Further to Allan's tale of the rubbish finish of his Paramount van, I quote the following from their website; "Where the pursuit of quality is Paramount" unquote. Some people obviously have a different interpretation of quality to the rest of the caravanning public.

After reading all the negative posts about build quality of new vans I thought this thread might interest members. Being an old school type of guy I thought that I'd ''rotate'' the spare wheel on our new Avan with the wheels already on the van to get even tyre wear.The spare wheel is housed in a lockable p...

G'day! A bloke can't really complain about the results of the tests they did on me. I keep my weight down to an acceptable level. This compliments my type 2 diabetes. (5.2) Non smoker, or drinker. Have never touched illegal drugs, and don't take any prescription medication. Have worked well and have p...
