Hi Nomads, new kid on the block, just venturing into the vast land of vehicles and caravans out there. Any suggestions on which to decide on first - vehicle or caravan? Looking to buy a van around 23ft or thereabouts.

Thanks Jim and Leonie (just cruisin) for another great get together this morning! It was good to catch up again and to see the new van, truly beautiful. Next time we will have to see if we can find more time for a longer chat and more coffee. Safe travels. Cheers Di

Hi Gang First posting and my question is, do you store your van with water tanks full or empty? I fill mine to the max.

I am looking for advice in regards to changing our table in a Jayco Sterling with a L shaped dinette. I would like to be able to push it closer to the longer side seat when necessary for extra room to move around the van, and also to bring it closer to me when I am working at the table.
