The Jayco manual does not explain. The lights and water pump work regardless of the position of the switch - eve...

It only cost me $2000 and probably needs a bit of work but I'm over the moon! I'm happy to spend a bit of money to get it to where I want. Are ther...

Gday... I was thinking today, an experience I do try to avoid as much as I can, and it came upon me that perhaps I should posture a position, as devils advocate, regarding the lack of free-camps provided by various towns throughout our wonderful playground. It is usual for we travellers to consult our b...

They never post in General Forum for instance. If they did there would be triple the amount of people knowing aboout them and thei...
