Hi again. Went to replace a globe inside the coromal campac 401 but found it is the fitting itself. Have unscrewed everything but can't see how to get the whole light off short of cutting the very small amount of the 2 wires coming out of the caravan front. It is the small swivel light over one side of th...

Hi all. Sorting out our first purchase of a second hand coromal compac 401 pop top van. We can, mainly thanks to Duh, actually put the awning up now - no help from the previous owners, and found they had glued velcro along one edge.

Hi all, I have just completed The Big lap - what an incredible adventure! Note clearly that I haven't finished traveling, there is still so much to see! But for now grandparent duties, dog duties, Happy Tax Man Duties and house renovating will tie me down for a while.

Hi, I like my caravanning, and in particular the free camping. I have a trip to the Simpson Desert on my bucket list, and am wondering if any members are aware that this sort of trip is available to members.
