I have been told that the metal on the van impede the wireless signal. I had an auto electrician suggest that the wireless transmitter can be mounted forward of t...

I'm wondering if I should buy and carry a spare water pump for my caravan. A replacement is about $125 on ebay and weighs 2kg so nothing onerous. I have no idea how long caravan water pumps last but I do know I often use a tap pressure which makes mine "chatter" and with 12V DC this will not be at all good for th...

I am looking at buying a Sunliner Trex for myself as I do not need anything too big. I thought a full size motorhome would be too stressful as I am on my own. Does anyone own one and if so what are your thoughts or do you have any changes that you would have made in hindsight? Cheers

Does anyone know if the inland road to Tom Price from Port Hedland i.e turning left into highway 95 after Boodarie (rather than turning left much further down the coastal road at Nunuttarra) is a sealed road?

I have a VW T5 pop top and need an Antenna to be fitted. Can I get a clamp to fit somewhere or does it need to be on a pole. Also I need the antenna and when having a look on internet I got confused with all the different kinds and prices. I only mainly do free camping so needs to be suitable for that! Thanks Helen...

I find it really annoying when people camp next to me and find it necessary to ring one of their moronic friends and relay their whole day's exciting adventure with the phone on speaker. They usually both join in shouting away at the phone and when they pause for breath, the cretin on the other end of the...

It seems that the molded 'plastic' plumbing split due to the pressure exerted by screwing the hot water tap too hard to turn it off. With a much increased pressure from a clogged up shower head, a...
