I like many people use cable ties for various jobs around the Motorhome. trailer Etc. I just ripped a four inch gash down my arm having caught it on the cable tie where the excess was trimmed by a pair of side cutters. VERY Sharp. Luckily not too deep. Now I know to position the ties so as not to repeat that du...

Having recently installed a diesel heater, I was wondering if there is such a unit as a DIESEL COOLER for use in the summertime. We have a dometic A/C. but the noise factor is a real deterrent. We can run it via our genny when camping. What other sort of "cool air" devices are available for car...

HI all, The water tanks in the vans ok to drink OR only for washing up and bath room? Regards Jim

I have only been doing this for a short time, but the number of times I have seen people (mostly women), standing between the van and the tug while they direct the driver back to hook up the van, which I think is silly.

What a magical place. Certainly not a place that should be bypassed. Spent three days here with Frangipani and these are a few of my favourite shots. There were so many, so just a few. If you do happen by there, make sure you take the time to do the 2plus hour walk to the top of the ridge. Dining room a lot of f...
