Mate finely bit the bullet and back traded the Triton on a MUX Isuzu and very happy until he hooked up the 1400kg van (120kg on the tow hitch) without load levers and it sunk and the rear ****ing the head lights sky high Short trip to see if it would tow okay and the sway was to much he felt unsafe. Went t...

I can't say that this added design is to my liking , but apparently it is proving very popular, The other flags on the short list are these.......... My preference still goes to the forth design, What do others think ????? K.J.

Ya!!!! school holidays again.

I did search the forum for information but it only came up with posts older than 4 years. It is time for me to look for a sat nav, I had a Garmin few years ago and it kept getting me lost so I gave it away. I have been looking at Navman My Escape III but see very mixed reviews on the unit. Is anyone happy with their...

Had 4 days at Gum Bend beating off the mossies night and day - then decided to go to the caravan park for a week - only $150. What a difference it makes after so much camping. Loving being able to splash water around, plug everything in to the power points to charge, TV every night etc.... Have even spent ho...

Like the rest of you, I am a retired old fart who has dreams of exploring this vast beautiful country of Ours. I am a hot rodder and have a 1950 Ford Tudor. I have restored two caravans, the first one was a 1956 Globetrotter which was a total wreck when i got it and I replaced most outer bondwood, it was not wh...

Hi all, jut thought I'd post a timely reminder to all of you that travel with pets, please please do the right thing with your pet. Not saying many of us don't already but there is still the minority that think their dog or cat doesn't come under the rules for some reason. Just reading a post on caravaners...

Intend to spend most of February-March around country NSW and then do the solos and cmca rallies, then i'll think about where to go next! Be gre...

Quite often when travelling you come across a van or trailer with a blown tyre. After 6 years tyres start to break down and by 7 years the tyres will fail. Some people think that because tyres look new with plenty of tread they are ok. If you google the DOT code on a tyre it can tell you how old the tyre is. Hope...

Tuesday we drove from Exmouth to Coral Bay. Arriving after dark, I rang the caravan parks and was told they were fully booked out. Left Coral Bay and about a kilometre out of town is a large cleared area. I pulled in there and started cooking tea. Then we were going to decide what we were going to do. Half w...

I am usually very quick to defend Caravan Park owners, being an ex park manager, however, what about council owned parks. In Lake Macquarie the weekly rates go from shoulder to peak just for two weeks in the school holidays, from $202 a week to $385 The particular park we are in does not employ more sta...

Haven't seen Dawa for a while. Any ideas? Hugs, Mal
