Morning all. I am considering referring my latest issue to either NASA or the M.I.T. but thought I may respectfully ask the learned ones on the forum for their view(s). When going out the other day I was unable to lock the door on the van. The lock works ok if just opening or closing the door but it would not...

G'day all. I just can't make up my mind, slide on's are top heavy cramped up mongrels. And a van is too big and overpriced. But l found a rig called the TIPOON, it's probably heavy to but has a lower center of gravity with solid walls and plenty of room. I can't work out how to drop the link here but som...

G'day everyone, Does anyone know how much of the cabin weight eg 2 people of around 100kg is carried by the rear springs? I went to TJM a couple of weeks ago, one chap there suggested that I use 175kg springs on our dual cab but I thought his maths were a "bit" out. I have around 85kg in the tub as a constant loa...

We have a diesel pajero towing an 18 1/2 foot van worried about how steep and windy is the road ,should we drive back to Innisfail and drive up to the Tablelands using the Palmerston Hwy?

Cheryl and I have been on the road for about 7 years, not full time and we are it in the final stages of preparing to travel to WA for an unknown amount of time but at least 12 months but when you throw in NT and back into Queensland to continue our last visit there it could well be 2 years. What we are asking s...

Just wondering who evacuated and headed South before the Cyclone hit the coast yesterday. Where were you ? and if you hit the road did you have a destination to go to, or just trusted to luck that you would find a spot in a park somewhere South out of harms way.

Leaving the Store, I couldn't find my Keys. They weren't in my pockets.Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.My wife has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's ignition. She's afraid that the car could be stolen.As I looked around...
