Yesterday we were travelling along the Bruce Highway inb Nth Qld where I noticed a Toyota Troopie towing a Newlands dual axle caravan about 20 footer. What caught my attention the troopie appeared to level, but the caravan was very pronounced being as being very tail down compared to the front, it loo...

Hi all, has anybody had experience towing with the Mazda CX-5 with the 2.5lt engine? I was thinking of getting a 2.5 turbo but had it on a test and with a gentle foot it used 14lts to the 100km towing a light van (1200kg max) The difference in the fuel use is of more interest to me than power. I had a Mazda 2.2lt...

A young man is wandering, lost, in a forest when he comes upon a small house. He knocks on the door and is greeted by an old Chinese man with a long grey beard. Im lost, said the man, Can you put me up for the night?Certainly, the Chinese man said, but one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter I...

They will come up with new things all the time, bast**ds. Why don't they get a proper job.

I have searched the forum for info on reversing Cameras the latest I can see is in 2015. We understand that time and technology have improved. 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

Once hooked, the couta was flipped overhead through 180 degrees and hit the boat deck hard enough to unhook the fish. When enough were on the deck they were packed into a wooden box approx 900mm long, 40...

Hi Everyone. This is my first post, we're looking at getting a printed Awning Screen and just wondering if anyone out there has one and where it came from. I'm looking at "Van Tastic" printed screens. Does anyone have any comments, suggestions? Thanks for you feedback.

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 plan to venture up to Broome and then Tom Price in June/July next year and am contemplating th...

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...
