Hi. This is our first time in the Forum. Although we have been caravanning we find that our satisfaction is not being fullfilled. We currently have a 21ft van (2.5 tonne ATM) with shower/toilet etc towed with a Patrol 3lt diesel. It feels like we are pulling a block of flats! We are missing out on all the a...

After baffling months of being unable to start a new topic I've suddenly found my way in again (still no idea why! ), so thought I'd ask if anyone's stayed in either of the two Inverell caravan parks? We're heading there on Wednesday, just to have a look around for a few days -- and to get away from the 40-to...

A blonde heard that milk baths would make her beautiful, so she left a note for her milkman to leave 25 gallons of milk. When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought she probably meant 2.5 gallons, so he knocked on the door to clarify the point. The blonde came to the door...

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to seal the hinge where my camper folds over? At least I think that's where the water comes in when she's folded up...driving along or sitting at home.

They are also a bit ferocious around strangers, and can be quite a tenacious fighter. So make sure to discipline this dog and set right from wrong,...

You were all so helpful with my questions earlier that I thought I'd push my luck a bit and try another one. As I said before I'm brand new to this and I've only just bought my van - don't pick it up for another week and a half. Added to this is the issue that I haven't lived in Australia for a long time so I'm not...
