Hi all, Clint out plumber is giving us costing to do the lot. He came around last thing to fix yet another miss hap that my brush cutter loves taking out the front garden tap at the base.

Is there a riverside campground in or around Albury? I'm just looking for a quiet overnighter with power.

On our last trip traveling from Mt Isa to Cloncurry, our first stop was to visit the Pharmacy, perfect spot to park or so we thought directly opposite, pulled in all good until two lovely local ladies drew to our attention that our awning was a hair breath away from a huge cement pole. If we had driven off w...

Sorry if this subject has been covered before. The RTA in Qld say that there is a need to check with the rulings in other Australian States when travelling interstate. So what do we do when the gcvm is illegal? I realise this may seem a silly question, but I genuinely need to know. I really don't want to be t...

Hi to all forum users. I am seeking your input to assist with my trip planning. Has anyone towed a 22ft highway van into and stayed in the Takarakka Bush Resort caravan park at the gorge in the months of June / July, what were the facilities like, how good was the road once the blacktop was left, and were th...

After dealing with Jayco Sydney today, on the telephone following up our complaints with our new van. To be told by a service tectnician, there's nothing our Sydney Agent can do, as they are directed by their Melbourne office. I feel We need a Judicial government enquiry into the industry to cal...

Finally took the beast for a week.end camp. Couldn't take much gear, as we have issues in the weight department. Tended to pitch a lot, and was sensitive to the wind (sideways sway), but semi-trailers didn't effect it. As for the TV, poor reception, not watchable. Looks like I have to get a WDH, the plac...

I purchased my new motorhome and travelled nearly 18,000km on tar roads and freeways, complaining about the hard "truck like" ride on the road. Then purely by coincidence a very observent Iveco area service supervisor pointed out that the gap between the top of the front tyre and the wh...
