Has anyone fitted a 12v diesel heater into a fairly small compact place in their motorhome? How was this experience and what brand/model did you use? Would you recommend it? I am not looking to fit it myself and will be paying someone to do the job for me. Interested in your experiences. Cheers, Wayne

Great little Park, 6 klms easy drive along unsealed road off the main Flinders Highway. Basic facilities, $10 a night, flush toilets, no hot water though. Shady, protected sites, short stroll to the long long beach, fishing and/or boat launching. Wi-Fi hotspot/recharge station that seems. to wo...

After 10 years of use the Thetford plastic toilet bowl has developed urine stains. We have kept it very clean at all times but it is now showing its age. Is there a product that can be used to restore it? We have tried several old house hold remedies like vinegar and bi carb etc but to no avail. Surely there i...

I don't know what the latest Covid strain is called but it's just extremely easy to get! Regardless of what governments might say, always wear a mask when shopping, etc. We were being very careful but I got it, Pat joined me the following day. Where it happened, I don't know - the dawn service at Lake Carg...

Another Newbie question, sorry. I guess the reason I ask, is that I drive a 22 year old car, that still goes great. A Lexus ES300 I bought new. It's been garaged since new, so maybe that has helped keep it in good order. But a Campervan? That's not going to fit in the garage! Not even in the back/front yard...

Good news for SA travellers, the State is currently having another new 60 WiFi/Radio hot spots installed

I read a topic which yet again was closed because of the usual pissing contest. The argument appeared to be a discrepancy in terminology. My suggestion is. The term GCM or Gross Combination Mass is the heading on the compliance plate which informs everyone what the maximum weight that the vehicle may...

I think the top of my list would have to go to the infrared imitation frog which croaked when you walked in front of it. High on the chart too is an Aldi (special) infrared sensing floodlight which I never use and don't know what to do with. The camping toaster which holds, and allegedly toasts, four slice...

I am hoping that if I give you enough information, then the answer from those in the know will be a simple yes or no. Here goes.... I have a 240v leg massage machine (restless leg syndrome) which is marked = 240V...50hz...22w. On my new motorhome, I have a plug in power outlet rated at 120w (12v). I also...

Do you have a Mandy (or a Mark?)? In 1974, Barry Manilow had a number one hit in the US with a song called Mandy. The song was originally called Brandy and had been a minor UK hit for singer-songwriter Scott English. Anyway, the first part of the chorus reads:- Oh, Mandy Well, you came And you gave without t...

Hi What have people done to improve their front galley hatch. Ours is really difficult to use as we often have stuff sitting on the bench. It is impossible to keep vegetables in there as it gets too warm from the fridge or AC when in use. I was thinking of removing the basket altogether and just making it...

Can anyone tell me if reception on mobile phones is OK on the Nullarbor please?

Hi All, Our quest for a campervan continues. I have found a 2nd hand KEA Nomad (Merc Sprinter) at a fair price. But....... The KEA Nomad conversion uses windows.........that don't open! We've looked at about 20 of these vans. The only window in the rear of the van that opens is the one in the sliding d...
