I've read the old blogs on this topic but having just received my caravan renewal today from AAMI, I would appreciate if anyone could advise me of any good insurers. My premium went down - surprise surprise - by $14. However, the amount covered was arbitrary reduced by $15,869. Perhaps it's time to hav...

Has anyone here used or is using a GPS tracker. The reason I asked is a recent news story where a bloke had his $60k boat stolen in broad daylight. That had me thinking would this be an accessory you would consider installing one in you van along with some sort of alarm system

I was bored again today ...

Hey Vic, I note you've deleted your access to PMs. Don't let it get to you. We all get pissed off at times, but follow my strategy of taking it in your stride and not letting people bother you with their opinions and sometimes ravings.. Not worth it... Have a rethink....

Hi all Im not sure this has been talked about before, if so I apologize to the OP. We have this wonderful shade we attach to the roof bars on our ute, stop for a cuppa, roll out the small awning and presto a cool place to sit and enjoy the bush. We spend a fair bit of the time in a static camp, thus this unit can fal...
