Planing on traveling from Caboolture through to Kingaroy on the d'aguilar highway towing a 25 foot van just wondering the condition of this road and is it very hilly ,is it suitable for a large van?

Hi guys just thought if any of you guys have like us been to the big 4 park at rollingstone, some people say that younger people can't run a caravan park but these young couple (sorry forgot there names) are so freindly and run a great park. yes i know its a big4 but there is no playground for kids, the pool is...

Thank goodness it will all be over tomorrow. Maybe it should be made illegal for politicians to tell lies.

Hi all I'm a real novice in matters of towing!. We've been looking for a new car / 4WD that will tow a small to medium van and quite like the Santa Fe (Diesel Auto). Apparently it will tow 2 Tonnes - however someone told me that they can't fit a "weight distributing hitch" to the Santa Fe. My q...

Hi, I hope someone can give me some guidance on making a pop top easier to lift. I am looking to buy a used pop top and I am finding it difficult to lift the pop top. Is there any device that I can get installed to make lifting the pop top easier, and if so, would there be a high cost attached to the modification...

Hi fellow nomads! We're now in Ceduna & will be driving west across the Nullarbor after the election but want to do some whale watching for a few days at the Head of the Bight whale watching ctr. So I'm wondering if any of you experienced Nullarbor travellers have any suggestions as to the closest pl...

Don't know where i found this idea but. a couple of pensioners had a jockey wheel jack fitted to either side of their caravan near the rear end so as to save them bending down to ground level to reach the van's jacks. was thinking of doing the same thing by mounting the jacks on a piece of 3/4 inch ply and the...

Thought this buried post was very well worth reviving. Just a shame that Copper had to lower the level of the post in that wayhttp://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=51933&p=3&topicID=33679825 cheers Coyotte

Gday... We will be travelling from Yowah to Toompine and then onto Quilpie QLD end of next week towing our 23ft 'black-top' caravan. The maps indicate there is about 80-100km of 'unsealed highway' south of Toompine. Has anyone travelled this route recently and is able to comment on the condition an...

Hi Left hand side. Under member's forum name, some have a photo, some not, there's a date or two. Can it be worked so our town/region is incorporated into this area, and perhaps the name of our van and tug? Ross

Don't know how many do this but I have not seen it done very often. If you just need to keep food cool for awhile eg. next camping stop or a trip away from the van. Instead of forking out for a largish portable fridge --- just buy a small one and set it on freeze --- keep them blue freezer blocks in it and just ke...

I have an MT60F-G4C Engel car fridge. At easter while the fridge was running on a 1kva Yamaha generator on the 240 v line I wanted to hook the 12v line to the auxiliary battery on the caravan. In a senior moment I managed to reverse the polarity - after a few minutes the smell of hot plastic alerted me to the...
