We have Truma Gas/Electric hot water system in our motorhome. When it is operated on 240v it is supposed to be heated to 70 degrees however our hot tap runs at 70 degrees for a couple seconds and then runs at a luke warm temperature from then on with no cold water mixed in. Can anyone assist????

When we left this area early in the year to head across to the west and up north, we posted a recommendation regarding the Miners Rest Tavern, how they have a beautiful meal and great licensee's in Trevor and Sheryl. Well many of you have called in there and also enjoyed it. So I thought it being the hol...

Hi there my plans are to head off late next year I am going to hire a campervan for a couple of weeks just to see how we go ( me and my dog) Is there many solos women travelling around our country? If so have you ever felt worried or nervous because you are alone?

G'day everyone, We are at home unfortunately and the temp has been climbing since last week around here. So I thought I would keep an eye on the fridge temp in the van and see how it went. The temp inside the van reached 42 deg C and when I opened the fridge to check the inside temp it was 3 deg C. I closed the doo...

Hi ,I wonder if any body is an owner of an inflatable kayak ?

How much is a cheap campsite and when does it become expensive for you? I'm a solo nomad and so when I find a campsite for just $15 a night I think it's cheap. Do you couples think that $30 a night is cheap? I've yet to be in a campsite that is full so I've never taken up space that could have been used by two. I'm h...
