G'day We are planning a trip to Karumba via Charters Tower at the end of next month. We are towing a large van with a Triton V6 petrol motor. My concern is if there plenty of places where I can fill up along the way, as I don't have long range fuel tanks. I also believe it's illegal to carry fuel in jerry c...

Not so that road will take you to Biloela without a sign to get you ba...

Hello everyone, My wife and I(46,53) are thinking of taking some long service leave and doing a test run of about 6 weeks before we retire. We have some basic questions. Why does, for example, a mitubishi triton have a braked towing capacity of 2700kg and a Falcon ute has 1700kg when they are a similar v...

I've posted this pic mainly for Bill12's benefit. It's a pic taken of my slide-on when it was on eBay showing the storage bins and awnings. The box trailer was the one used to deliver it to my place (after I told the bloke I had the wrong type of ute, which was a Falcon tub at the time). I thought I hadn't saved...
