I need to get something to pour down the loo as we are g...

Can someone please advise as to whether "pink slips" are required to register a van in NSW if it is under 3 years old. Thx.

Not sure if we're alone, but we have difficulty sometimes removing the seal inside the screw off cap on Coles brand milk bottles - it's just new so I'm not sure if other brands have this but eventually they all will. Sometimes we have to use a pair of pliers to grip the tag as it is slippery. The advantage se...

Hi All, still searching for our first van for retirement. Thought we had narrowed it down to 16' poptop with shower/toilet. Recently viewed a 14' Jayco one end expanda with shower/toilet.

Does anyone know if they'll pay daily fees or does it have to be a full week? We're at the show grounds in Alice Springs displaying...

I phoned Paul (My Van) and was surprised to find that he had left Cooktown and returned to Gracemere just south of Rockhampton and I was just north of Rocky so I decided to give him a v...

Our van is 3 years old and always had poor drainage from the shower which has become worse lately. The pipes are 40mm PVC pipes. To overcome the problem I've altered the pipes as follows - 1. I removed 3 x 90o sharp bends replacing one of them with a sweep bend for less flow resistance. 2. I removed the ori...

A very big THANKYOU to David and Carol for a great day and very productive as well. David and I went to where he bought his caravan from and what can I say? There could just be a feathered chief of indians involved in this discussion soon. Um, well, the field is narrowing down for sure. I wanted to narrow th...
