We stopped off at Lake Wallace near Portland/Lithgow and were pleasantly surprised. An open massive parkland area along the lake edge for caravans, RV's, tents etc and dog friendly. No power boats allowed, so perfect for canoeing, fishing (trout) and swimming etc. Has only one old fashioned toile...

Hi all, Just wanting to get advice on how I can set up my caravan battery setup. I currently have a 2009 Jayco Flamingo Van, installed is just a single battery.

I have a Starcraft 2010 model caravan with Queen bed. I now find the queen is no longer serviceable and wish to replace it with 2 x single beds. Allows more room to move. I would like to hear from anyone who has done this modification, and some comments on associated costs. Many thanks

All of us: As age creeps up on the bride she finds that she gets good relief to leg swelling, foot pain, leg and foot cramps from a small heated foot boot, that unfortunately is not up to too much usage. Hours of driving or sitting in the confines of the van are becoming a problem. She can't jog with me - eve...

Australia and New Zealand's most sacred day and he is in the palace - wouldn't you reckon that some Royalty might come to Australia on this day? Even if it was slanted toward the First WW where Australia lost thousands in defence of others. Doesn't have much trouble toting elsewhere. LEST WE FORGET ...

I was just reading an article in the Griffith (NSW) Free News saying that since they have cut out 3G that 4/5G was useless in country areas of western NSW. I think they were talking about internet and not phone. I thought connectivity ability was the same. The reason I am asking this is I have to upgrad...

I recently spoke to a panel beater an asked about EVs, and they dont touch them for various reasons which made me think, I wonder how much the insurance would be, especially if it has an accident and part replacement availability. I also wonder about the GVM capability for towing single axle caravans,...

Looking at WDH. Has anyone has/had experience with the Andersen Drop WDH. I have a Jayco Journey Outback so a 8 inch drop model probably required. (And for those wondering, we have had no issues over the last six years with the van nor our previous 3 Jayco's). If not an Andersen I would appreciate input b...

Hey boys and girls My wife and I have just started travelling with a "wobble box", albeit a hired one till we find what suits us, and just wanted to find a forum with like-minded travelers. Looks like we have. Cheers and safe travels, John & Shaz Humpty doo,Nt

Hi everybody, We have a 2007 Winnebago Alpine (predecessor of the Avida longreach Im told) we would like to replace the toilet as its cracked lid and stained. It is an Dometic VT2500 vacuum toilet.

This question has probably been asked quite a bit, but here goes. I'm looking to install a Lockup Kit in my LANDCRUISER 200 series 2020. My two preferred options so far are The Richards Lockup Kit and The Stocklock Kit. My question is has anyone had these kits throwing codes? Should I have my ECU and Tr...

hello fellow nomads, I expect / hope to be living on the road sometime in the near future. Unfortunately, I will not have buckets of cash. I'm not real keen on the used motor-homes that would be within my budget; and am now thinking I should consider the Toyota Coaster. Can anyone please tell me which yea...

When I push the start up button on the control panel the fan starts but the pump does not, whereas it did during bleeding, also the control...
