Can anyone offer advice on fitting a bike rack to my van, and if so any recommendations on manufacturer. Thanks

Hi just wondering what "you " think is the best buy, highway use only. They are to go onto a 2012 bt 50 dual cab 4x4 used primarily for towing a van.

In a previous life as Phil C I had a number of significant meltdowns and bad experiences, some in this forum. Firstly my profound apologies for those episodes. I am now on new meds and they are working a treat, the BIG key here is doing what my doc says. We often get this attack of stupidity and think all is w...

Hi all. Wondering if anyone knows about this. Our Jayco Conquest step has been getting soft. It bends down when stepping onto it. I tightened the nuts to the chassis but it seems that the mechanism is worn. Took it to a repair yard yesterday and they replaced it with a Techna Nuova Mapa model. Apart from t...

New to all this so apology's if this is a previous subject. Our Statewide van has twin water tanks. The rear one is about 3ft x 3ft by 10 inches. The centre one is a big blow moulded black tank that runs from side to side maybe 5ft long and 12 inches square. The rear one fills easily but the centre one back fire...

Mostly snapped around the "Centre".

After his hectic Christmas Santa has retired for another year.

Just curious as to the preferred option to secure your hitch to the tow bar ? How tight a fit is your pin.

Hi all This is a touchy subject because there are those that would have all maintenance carried out by a tradesperson and others that do anything they want including 240V stuff.

How good it was to see halfpint (Patty) come and visit last night, on her short trip home for Christmas. She is back to Tassy today to attend her sister's funeral, and help the rest of the family. Then she can come home, and spend time with her family - her real family as well as her Nomad family!!!!
