Hello was after some advice re -removing the rear seats (behind front seats) of a 100 series landcruiser and bolt in a home made purpose built construction to house 2 x 50litre car fridges. Does this transform the vehicle into unroadworthy status Thanks

No, I'm not blonde. Just wondering why everyone gets excited about having an Anderson plug. My husband would probably know but he is not here to ask. Why is it more special than other plugs? What does it do?

Two jokes in one actually An American televangelist accused of broadcasting COVID-19 vaccine disinformation in Australia has died, weeks after contracting the virus That was one half of the joke This morning at 4am, the president and founder of Daystar and the love of my life went to be with Jesus,...

Can someone please advise me what the switch near the door is for? Do I leave it on or off? Also, is there a battery charger and if so, where is that located? Thank you.

I am sorry if I am not in the right forum but I had to express my disappointment with this whole area. The whole ocean road is geared up for tourist price gouging.All caravan parks are now well over the $50.00 mark (Melbourne cup weekend $80.00) A little gem of a place called Wye river we did a stop to get a bi...

Location is well inland, far from water in central Victoria in low density forest country. A flock of five black birds on the ground; at first I thought they were ravens but as I drove nearer they took to flight and were too large for ravens, maybe 1m or close to wingspan. Also, when open, their wings had a...

A new varient of the virus that causes Covid-19 has been detected in South Africa: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-26/africa-travel-restrictions-imposed-over-new-covid-19/100652438 This varient has a different spike protein, which means: "And that would sugges...

I saw this article in the news and thought that it would also apply to caravans: Flexi pipes are a cheap plumbing hardware for your home but could cost you thousands https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-02/the-hardware-that-can-cost-you-thousands/100666628

Geday all , my better half and I are going to become grey nomads next year when we retire. I have my tug ( 06 100 series TD L/C) and Im not selling her. Still looking for the van. To all out there do we really require an off road van if we are going off the beaten track? Maybe a silly question but I have had a few nom...

After receiving countless complaints, and observing a multitude of serious problems with caravans over the past decade or so, and considering all of the practical and constructive suggestions received from 'vanners, it has been proposed that a Quality Standard - or Code of Practi...

After a few 100K on a wet road the footwell of my van is full of water - not from leaks but from spray off the car getting in thru the huge ventilation window at the rear that is for gas ventilation. There's no drain holes to let water out. What is the score if you ford a creek and the water pours in thru the ven...

More likely dismayed - now that there's been a good term of wet it is a good time to search for unknown and invisible leaks. And to trace known leaks to their obscure and often far away origins. If your van is outside in the weather a moisture meter is an essential accessory. For a miserable $25 you can tes...

Has anybody had any experience on using Wisemans Ferry with a large (21ft) van? About ten years ago I took a camper trailer across it. I remember that the on ramp from the northern side was steep, the camper managed alright but I think that a longer van would not. I also seem to remember a sign along the roa...
