We have had a few issues with trucks, cars, motorbikes, etc coming up behind us without knowledge. We have decided that we should instal a review camera, rather that a revearsing camera to keep an eye on what's coming up behind us. I can see situations out in the outback where things like road trains can...

I walked over to see my mechanic this morning to get his advice. He had no idea all this had happened as S in L has not told him anything. Just thought it needed a bit of oil when he rang to ask the type to put in., Anyway told him the whole story, so he says, well for her age and probably not a lot done to her over th...

Hi all, we are about to take off on another adventure in July and want to see about adding maybe a towball lock when the van is unhitched. Have any of you knowledgeable Goeys any suggestions as to a brand, type or even another method of security that is practical? Thanks in advance.

Big4 Renmark Riverfront .... one of the nicest parks I've stayed in, worth paying a bit extra for a riverfont site. Sites are spacious with room to park beside the van and have the awning/annexe out as well. Renmark is very nice town with plenty to see and do
